Creative Cloud is [cursing removed]

[catherine - an anglophone]

How do I get back the traditional Acrobat Pro app [version 2025.001.20756] on my desktop? I've uninstalled it because of continuing and recurrent bugs, and wanted to install the new app. Only, the Creative Cloud thing seems to be the only [cursing removed] app thing available now! 

For info I work on an iMac (24-incl, M1) with macOS Monterey v 12.7.6

My subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro ends in May 2026 and will definitely not be renewed. This system has become cumbersome and a [cursing removed] nightmare to use. I'll use it until the end of my subscritpion though... paid enough for it. Pity, I've never had any problems until this year. Not being technical at all, I don't know why these problems. All I know is that it is becoming to disruptive in my work (I write a lot).

I don't want a creativity app... I want something practical and that works.

If someone can help me get the app back on my desktop, that would be much appreciated. 

In advance, thanks.

If you are using the New Experience, try disabling it and let us know if this works for you.

From Help:

Turn off the new experience

The new experience is an exciting step forward for Acrobat's future. But if it doesn’t suit your needs, you can still revert to the previous experience.  

• Windows: Select the hamburger menu, and then choose Disable new Acrobat.  

• macOS: Go to View > Disable new Acrobat.
