Is it just me, or does the latest Adobe Pro update suck?

You're correct; the nerds (to get past AI) it all up. If AI is stupid. Should be calloed NI (no intelligence). So much for individuality. This seems to be a common trend around the world right now. I'm cancelling my subscription. There are easier pdf programs out there.

I have been pulling out my hair.  I've had shoulder surgery so it's not easy using my keyboard and mouse anyway.  A small job that I use Adobe Pro for now takes me 10 times as long because I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING!  I don't know what the new things are even called.  AND they put the price up.  I pay $29 AUD a month for one tidy little part of Adobe Pro.  It is fraud!!

No, you are not alone. This is crude at best with the new interface and layout. I am very upset about this update, as it is now more inefficient in use. It is almost like they had no work to do at Adobe and had a make-work project to dismantle Adobe Pro, to make it more of a pain to use. I love starting over with software. Geesh....will have to follow some of the advice on the forum here. Good luck, all! I now see why I migrated from Adobe in my personal life for image editing and design layout. 

In the latest version - v 2023.006.20320 - the 'disable new acrobat' option is not even there, so not sure disabling is the way we should all go with this...it is just prolonging when those of us will be affected for good with these new awful UI changes. I do not see that Adobe is really tryign to make the new UI look have the old features. Their responses o here are "we think once you use it awhile, you'll like it"

It's not you this is really awful. I feel like an idiot I just want to save the document using another name and I can't find the file save fuction.  

Hi @Kathy238731956ghi 

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out.

You can still search for specific words in the new Acrobat using the familiar keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + F. This will open the Search Window, as shown in the screenshots below. You can also access the search function by clicking on the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner of the application.

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 & get more out of Acrobat.  

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

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you continue to experience any issues or if you have any further questions related to the new Acrobat. We are here to assist you.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

You can disable the automatic updating:

…and you can go back to the old interface:

Please let me know, if that solves your problems.
