adobe's 1/16/24 update wreaking havoc!

New Here ,
Jan 20, 2024 Jan 20, 2024

This is an "optional" update that my pc did automatically unfortunately wreaking havoc as it is useless with our court forms and unbearable to work with.  After uninstalling and reloading Adobe I'm now stuck with this "updated" beast of a basically useless version of Adobe Acrobat for work now.  I can't beleve this isn't a workabe solution.

 

Need help!

Thank goodness I saw this and able to revert back to the old Adobe. I send a number of PDFs to clients to sign and to my horror many of the fields came back empty! The new version is just terrible!

Adobe is the company, Acrobat is the product. Changing the user interface does not change the underlying software. It is only the way, the product is presented and how the user interacts with the software.

And my computer has not automatically updated and won't let me convert a PDF to a Word document without updating!  I don't even know how to manually update, nevermind now seeing that it may cause more problems

If you could do it before, you can still do it now.

Really appreciated for the revert back info. 


Was wasting a lot of time to adjust to the new UI, and trying to get works done on it.
