How do I go back to the old Acrobat?

[Matt27878727ufum]

The update is terrible. Comment tools are complicated and/or missing. Nothing is where it was

How can I reinstall the last version??

[norrisArt]

Agreed... this new update is absolutely terrible. For everyone that couldn't find the 'Disable New Acrobat' under 'View' (like me), you can just search for it under the 'Help' -Search box and find it, click it, restart Acrobat ...and go back to being productive. 🙂

This is a terrible "upgrade" it's difficult to use and is a tremendous time waster.  Bring back the old.

I have an iPad and I do not have a drop-down menu on the left. I have All Tools, But there's no option to revert back to the old version. So what do I do now?

[Scott366272587lfx]

Perhaps the worst update I've ever seen.  Why take away all the functional tools and hide them?  It has made workflow 10x slower until I found this thread.

Yes please notify your product team that the way the new changes have been launched are terrible. The change was too extreme. I have used (and paid!) for acrobat for several years and rely on it for work and personal admin. I now have to completely retrain and it is not very intuitive. It is slowing me down and I now am hesitant to use it. You should not have allowed such an extreme release that has completely transformed the interface. The learning curve is too steap. Not only that, I just tried to fill in a form and wasn't able to do so, it was giving me issues all over the place and was a painful process. I was not able to just fill in the boxes. I have now reverted back to the old version (as others have said thank goodness that is possible) and now I can fill in the form just fine, just as I always did. So there are also feature performance issues.

This is just a classic "uplift" and "refresh" of a product that nobody asked for. Just how many millions did the geniuses make that suggested removing pages and other basic information from the default view?

Agree. The update is super slow to the point where it is unpoductive. I can not zoom without getting the color wheel ever time spinning for more than a minute.  I want to install an older vesion but I don't see how to do it. Unlike photoshop and indesign where I can see older versions I don't see any opton for acrobat. please help! It is so awful. If you disable does it go back to an older version?

[Hulk37859234xwad]

The new version is so slow and laggy it's unusable for me.  Also, adding text on top of an existing PDF is a huge pain because, for some reason, you can accidentally select the existing text now when doing this.  Thank you for showing us how to revert to the old version, luckily we still have that option.

[Veronica_Tortuga]

Sadly, I agree.  Confusing and difficult to maneuver.

[Ramchandra39040382iaks]

Such a relief ! I was not able to rotate view, find attachment or set panes. Everytime & everywhere an update comes, all things turn upside down. For senior citizens like me, it is very difficult to unlearn the old things.

Can you stop completely changing the interface every year? No one is asking for this, it really affecs the workflow of the poeple that use adobe pdf daily for work.

[frank_5972]

Agree, this "update" (and the apparent trend of software developers merely updating user interfaces and hiding existing functionality to charge more for a new-content-free "update") is complete garbage.

[Brenda244271561tzn]

Seriously Adobe. This is a horrible feature to give us. My brain does not work that way and is hard on my eyes. You should at least give us the option in the new version on what side of the page we want our features. I will NEVER get use to this and now I will have a headache everyday because of you. FYI. You have no way of reveriting back when using the on-line version/account. My rating for this update is -1,000,000,000,000 stars.

[NudeCruzer]

I don't see improvments. They just wanted to move all the tools to make the user's lives miserable.  Are they adding tools? no, they are just moving everything to make the software less intuitive.  At least they allow you to have more than one window. But, I need to change back for all the other reasons.

[Mark_Va_1]

One more vote in the "what the hell" column for the hideous update...  I felt like they were purposefully trying to make me unproductive... 

[krisztina_6885]

This is a f.. lie, it does give you the old interface but the software is the same!!! I WANT THE OLD SOFWARE BACK, so to be able to shring document sizes, which you took away with the new sofware version, and made it a payable service to force the Adobe Acrobat Pro. You are just the worst company ever!!!
