I want to revert to a previous version of Acrobat Pro.. how??

[John24077765nr5u]

Version 2023.003.20201 is absolutely terrible!! Who decided to change the UX and UI of this app? It was perfectly fine. Now it's unusable. How does one go back a version? I should have turned off my auto-updates. This is a very dissapointing update in every possible way. Would love some info on my request. Thank you.

Or, you can choose DISABLE NEW ACROBAT. https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/new-acrobat-experience.html

OMG, lifesaver post!

Thank you!

[Katie26426576a1dg]

Thank you! I missed a deadline because Adobe updated out of nowhere and we couldn't find anything! I'm re-downloading the old version now. HEY ADOBE NO ONE WANTS THIS UPDATE!

[Mia365436]

THANK YOU SOOOO much for this!! I have been using Acrobat for over 20yrs and this update completely BLOWS!! 

[Cyndi33139393o3pr]

I agree!! The new version has slowed productivity and complicated the process.  It was fine before.

[Neil34227683oh5b]

Yeah the new version is a shocker.  Hopefully someone at Adobe got a big "please explain" for this one.

Thank You!

This version is another Adobe miracle.

Ah!!! Excellent. Thank you for this. Consider this experiment a fail Adobe.

Phwoar! Thank you!!! That was horrific. Where did zoom etc. go!? I HATE auto-updates and even worse, when they move everything around, just ridiculous and immediately affects productivity!

These instructions are awful.  Step 1--Go to View.....well, where is it.  It USE to be in the top left corner....just spent 15 minutes looking for it....can't find it.  Anywhere. 

HERE IS HOW TO DISABLE:

1) Go to hamburger icon (three lines) in upper left corner.

2) Scroll down to View.

3) Choose Disable Current Version

[Kate31868122eqfb]

Thanks for making the instructions on how to disable so much easier! You are the real MVP!!

[JackieM561]

This worked great. Had to close all open Acrobat files. Worked like a charm. THANK YOU! 

[Andrew31868643t72t]

Thank you so much. I just had a PDF open with the OG view, closed it and opened another PDF and BAM new Adobe. I know where everything is already Adobe, NO THANKS! I don't need a switcheroo in a matter of seconds. Thank you for the easy steps to go back to normal. I'm at work, I don't need to spend the next hour finding everything again.

[Christine22245201lt93]

Deborah, I cannot thank you enough for these easy instructions to saving my sanity.  

[patrick34238]

I agree with you all. The new interface is terrible.

Thanks to DeborahG7 for such a simple solution/

[Fatima320031347n84]

Thanks so much for the help!! Did you have any issues with having the tools in the previous version? I.e, I can't find the combine tool! I tried searching for it but nothing shows up. 

[Dawn32111823iry0]

Thanks for the info on how to revert back....if it ain't broke dont fix it!!

[default32120475ilrtpg]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU This was making me SO SLOW

[Kristi LaVieille]

You are my hero - thank you. this was exactly what I was looking for. I truly dislike the new version.

[dalface]

I couldn't find the hamburger icon, but did find view and disable. Thank you so much. I opened it yesterday and didn't know what i was looking at. I thought maybe i was in Reader. I read Adobe said always trying to improve and make it uncluttered. Why when all users know the program, we don't need it simplified. Most of us get lost on these "simplified", "easy for everyone" programs. Please stop Adobe, and thank you DeborahG7. Hopefully i won't have to deal with this for a good long while.

The hamburger menu is with a Windows PC.

[Michelle Redfern]

Thank you from a Mac user .... I am overjoyed to revert to the OG ... 

[HappyCamper33570]

THANK YOU! Hated that new version, not sure what they were thinking! There was no copy and paste option. Ridiculous!

[calchick7]

OH MY GOSH THANK YOU   I could not even READ half the junk that was on the new one and usually have no problem without my glasses.  What a total FAILURE on the new release - LEAVE THINGS THAT WORK ALONE ADOBE!  

[sharonr40302516]

When I choose disable and restart, it just closes (doesn't restart).  When I manually open the program again, it is the same new version.
