The most recient version seems to have changed a lot of the accessibility features which is making it almost impossible to make one of my documents accessible. How can I roll back to previous versions?
All other apps on Creative Cloud have a "other version" option. However, Acrobat does not.

Thank you,

Hi All!

I hope you all are doing well.

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.

As we made these changes in the interface, we have tried to ensure all tools & features currently supported retain their familiar functionalities and workflows as they did in the previous version. We are committed to addressing any gaps or issues users report related to any break in current workflows in all our past & upcoming releases.

If any of your current workflows are not functioning as expected, share them with us on this thread, and we will address them with the highest priority.

We appreciate your valuable feedback! We're always looking for ways to improve Acrobat, and we appreciate the time and effort you have taken to share your feedback. 

If your critical workflows are impacted, you can switch to the old UI from the "Menu" on the top left corner of Windows and View Menu on MacOS. We will follow up with a detailed community-featured post, guiding you to familiarise yourself with the new interface and regular updates on upcoming changes.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

We have an Plug In / Add in that does not work with the update. The software application vendor is working on it. In the meantime, I need to go back to the previous version in order to integrate with out main management application. Is there a way to Roll-Back?

I agree. As a prior software engineer I think "intuitive" is relative: everything has to be learned. Thank you for the disable feature.

I was trying to reorganize the tools list so the ones I use are at the top. I use none of the default tools, however the delete and reorder features were greyed out for the default tools. I like the simplicity of the old version with all the tools along one side that I can completely customize.

Hi @Seo25658013yk4o

Sorry to hear about your experience.

New Acrobat is Introducing a more straightforward and intuitive experience for Acrobat desktop, making it easier for you to view content and perform your everyday actions on the PDF.

We'd encourage you to continue using the modern UI. With the latest UI, there are few tools have been repositioned.

To find more details, please go through this help article: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/new-acrobat-experience.html

Let us know if you are looking for any specific feature that is unavailable in modern UI.

Thanks,

Akanchha

I agree, this new layout is confusing and forced upon us. I want the old layout back as this new one is cumbersome

Lol....believe me, I've looked for such a setting. As a paying customer I should have been given that option!
