Stop it with the nonsense redesigns!

[Simon36793752idff]

I recently downloaded the new Acrobat Version because I hoped I can get a glimpse of the new AI features (sadly not available). What I “discovered” instead is the new Acrobat design. Redesigns can be a good thing and I understand why a company needs to work on a new look from time to time. But WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE MIRRORED? Bookmarks were always on the left, tools on the right – why was this reversed? What is the advantage of this, other than “change I think it's not hard to understand that you get used to certain tools. And you want to work quickly. I see no advantage in turning everything around now – except for disrupting people's habits.

It's easy to go back to the old version/view (with a little searching). Leave at least this feature so that you don't have to look at the new view. And put more effort into useful features instead of doing cosmetic work that nobody needs and that generates unnecessary work.

Thank you.
