The layout has changed on Adobe Acrobat and I absolutely hate it. Is there any way to set it back to the previous layout? I think I should at least have an option of using the new or previous layout.

Hi DOUGLAS32278275wt0c,

 

Hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out.

 

We acknowledge that the new Acrobat represents a notable change; however, we hope that as you get familiar with the new interface, you can be more productive and get more out of Acrobat.

 

We are actively working on the suggestions/feedback and will address them with the highest priority.

 

As you get more comfortable with the new interface, please contact us with specific questions on tools, features, or functionalities. We’re happy to provide helpful resources and answers to your questions.

 

If your critical workflows are impacted, you can switch to the old UI from the “Menu” on the top left corner of Windows and View Menu on MacOS.

Please check this detailed community-featured post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/learn-about-new-acrobat/td-p/14078856, guiding you to familiarise yourself with the new interface.

 

Thanks,

I too despite the new set up.  I liked the +/-/rotate options at the TOP of my page so I could easily find them.  Having them on the far right side at the bottom is just not ergonomically friendly.  Those are the THREE options I use most frequently and I hate having to mouse down to them each and every time I open a PDF, which is a literal PAIN if I have multiple windows open because I will have resize, minimize or drag  another window out of the way  in order to actually get to the toolbar I need.  Please switch it back to having the toolbars on top and not on the sides.  That is just obnoxious.

I can not stand the new format. Thank God I can disable it. Stop messing with things that aren't broken. There are plenty of PDF software options out there. YOu guys keep messing with these layouts, I will be going another direction.
