Use of Action Wizard in latest version of Acrobat DC Pro

I opened acrobat to find that it had updated to a version that no longer seems to support Action Wizard, which I used for a few sequ scripts that did essential magic for me:

Create Bookmark Report

Delete all Comments

Extract Commented pages


The most important function is Bookmark Reports.

 

Are there any workarounds in the New Acrobat or will Action WIzard be re-introduced? Unless I've missed something I don't see it. Luckily I can revert to the Acrobat I knew.

    What you need to know is that it's only a UI business. The underlying code is the same, but as the new UI is still incomplete, Adobe did offer the option to revert to the old UI. So as long as you need functionality that is not available with the new UI, you are fine to revert to the old one. The new UI is now in operation for several years and slowly more and more functionality is implemented.

        There is no workaround, you must revert to the Classic UI: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/acrobat-2023-how-to-revert-to-classic-gui-user-interface/td-p/14052807

         

        Consider the new Acrobat as a beta version, many features are missing or half-implemented.

          Thanks. I've done that. I see that the new UI is quite unpopular too, generally speaking.
