Make the new version of Acrobe function like the old version.

How do I convert the new version of Acrobe Acrobat Pro DC have the same functionality as the older versions? I have been using this version for 2 years now and started to learn different aspects of it but it is not as user friendly as previous versions. There seem to be tools I cannot find, such as leader arrows and digitals signatures is actually under certificates not fill and sign. I have asked several people at my current company and every one here seems to have issues with it but cannot go back to the older style.

To find the functionality you are looking for, use the tools search function. At the top of the right hand pane and the top of the Tools tab are search fields. When you start to type in either of these fields, Acrobat will search for this term in its tools. It will then only show the search results, which is much easier to navigate compared to having all tools areas available.

Can you tell us what version you had before the upgrade, and which version you now have?

We recommend turning off auto-updates through your Creative Cloud app.

The system will tell you when a new version is available, and then you can update on your schedule.

This isn't such a problem with most of the Creative Cloud/Suite programs because they allow you to both roll back and keep previously installed versions on the same workstation.

But that's not the case with Acrobat.

Tell the Acrobat engineers and marketing department to ditch this new "Modern" Acrobat interface. It doesn't work.
