Question

UX Layout for Adding PDFs to existing Documents, can you explain and adjust?

When Adobe made the change in the UX for the new Acrobat,  I liked most of it but there is the one that I absolutely HATE...

 

When you make changes, it's best to re-examine everything because it gives you a chance to really impress users. When you half do it, it just leaves users triggered...

 

It used  to be very easy to add pages to a pdf but it's sort of confusing now. It's like in two places and one of the places doesn't really do what it is suppose to do. Can we talk about this and I'll post examples belows:

 

The Combine Feature (Combine-bug.jpg) 

The Organize Feature (Organize-bug.jpg) 

 

I'm summarizing the pain now so I can go into detail about each feature below.

    The combine feature I just hate it!  Can you just remove this and push everyone to the Organize feature? 

     

    Let me show you the pain of Combine. If this was Half-Life 2, you would know exactly what I mean when I say "Combine" but Adobe leaves you confused...

     

    But moving along...

     

    When I use combine, the feature doesn't really do what you expect. I tried it to "combine" but the documents are still separate. Look at my images below but notice I still have to "merge" the files even after doing these steps:

    The organize feature should be the solution recommended by Adobe Acrobat. It's just fast and simple. This is what a designer wants to complete work for clients promptly. This feature allows maximum controls. See images below: 

     

    Organize-Bug1.jpg - I get maximum control options to manage the pages

    Organize-Bug2.jpg - I get maximum options to insert from

    Organize-Bug3.jpg - File Selection 

    Organize-Bug4.jpg - Insertion selection control

     

    Why is the Combine option still here? I want to hear any "Combine" supporter comments related to this feature.

     

    Thanks.
