Acrobat changed into an entirely new product overnight

[MinkiesMom]

Please give me their address, as we need to talk.  I'm ready to truly move to a different product because I use Acrobat every day but with my 75-hour/week full-time real job, I don't have time to re-learn how to find every single feature I used yesterday with ease.  Even if I did, I DETEST the new UI.  Like 100% seriously DETEST it.  Things that used to be easily accessible are now buried in menus that are even hard to find.  This version feels like I moved from Adobe to some completely different product and might be the final straw.  This btw is yet another reason I despise SaaS.  I don't want radical software changes rolled out whenever it strikes the fancy of the manufacturer.  I want to be able to do what I need to do in a stable, consistent software.  I want to maintain my muscle memory.   When I'm missing new features I think I might want, I want to research my options and purchase a software that gives me the options I want.    SaaS no longer allows that.  We are now captives to your whims, taken forcibly down a path we don't want to be on.  

ADOBE:  Please hear this:  I do not have hours and hours to make a few changes, highlight a few things, and insert a signature but that's exactly where I am because I can't even figure out yet how to move quickly between pages of my 267 page PDF.  This is ri-dic-u-lous and I am furious.  I hate Adobe and I hate SaaS even more.

I finally figured that out and here it is from another post in the Community.  This is part of the problem, EVERYTHING is soooo buried.  It might be "clean" and "modern" but it is NOT "functional" and "efficient" which is all I care about.  Good luck to all of us if Adobe decides to make this dastardly version the only option.  What a hot mess!

On Windows, to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner (where the old File menu used to be) and select Disable New Acrobat, it's about 2/3 down the menu.
