Hate the latest UI? Here's how to get back to the previous one

Hi All, I am one of the many paying customers absolutely disgusted with Acrobat Pro's newest user interface.  If it suits you, you can get back to the old interface:

 

“Menu” on the top left corner of Windows and View Menu on MacOS.

Look for the option to go back to previous interface

 

My disclaimer clause:  I don't know if that means you miss out on some of the functionality of the latest Acrobat version.  I have posed this question to Adobe and am awaiting a reply. 

 

Note also that once you have gone back to the previous interface, the MENU does not show an option to restore the latest Acrobat interface.  For that, I PRESUME you should be able to 1. Uninstall Acrobat Pro from your machine, and then 2.  reinstall Acrobat Pro from your Adobe Creative Cloud app.

Would love to do this but can't see any "View Menu" icon or option on my Mac version.  Can anyone tell me what to look for and where?

Html-novice : the Menu is on the left side of the adobe screen, there are a few (3?) horizontal lines, too. Does that help you in any way? Hope you find it!

I can't stress out how much I LOVE YOU ! I've lost hours and hours of work today with the horrible new version! The agent from adobe was no help at all. I was going crazy when I saw your mail. I'm actually crying from relief, because it means i can actually get work done in my usual fast way instead of slowly getting used to the new terrible interface. Thank you so so so so much ! May you be blessed by the gods of softwares!

I agree! I hate this new version!! It is like "New Coca-Cola" back in the 80s.  They ruined a good thing.  The user interface the absolutely horrible.  I cannot even see how many pages are in my document.  Everything is cumbersome and not user friendly.  How do I get the old version back????

I agree with everyone here. I HATE THE NEW DESIGN AND LAYOUT. It is clunky, scattered, and nonintuitive. Please don't take away the option for users to choose the better layout.

I meant "interface" not "layout."

I was able to disable the new version by clicking the menu button (stacked lines) upper left corner. There is an option to "disable new version". Simple. Thankfully! The new version was awful for me, it didn't make sense and I couldn't find all the tools I normally use.
