It used to be that when filling out forms, the software was able to recognize a box and automatically insert a check mark when the box is clicked. This is no longer happening on New Acrobat. In addition, when adding text to fill in a preset form on the line, you could just click and start typing in a new text box (typically grey) that overlays the pre-existing text (typically a blue box) that makes up the form. But now, when I click and start typing, it has me typing in-line and in the big blue box. This is obnoxious as the line for text to go on-top of is now looking like[_____Money____] instead of [___Money___ ] which messes up the entire form.
Not to mention it keeps trying to prompt me to write comments on a doc that doesn't have any comments or need any comments. Where the [T] text box used to be on the little side toolbar, there is now [*comment icon*] and it won't let me remove it and replace it with the [T] text box.
But [T] text isn't acting the way it used to anyway so its just frustrating all around.
I elected to disable new acrobat as it's slightly easier to navigate the old old one than whatever mess this is but it's still cumbersome and is extending my critical workflow exponentially as I try to navigate this nonsense.
I'm working in Adobe Acrobat Pro 24.003.20180
If there is any way to go back to Adobe Acrobat September 2024 that'd be wonderful. I've checked the help section to no avail. Also tried making changes to preferences to no avail. Any advice is much appreciated.
