Why change everything?

[reginal79098089]

Why? Why do you "creators" feel a need to completely change the layout of toolbars, etc. in a program?! Do you have nothing to do so you just search out what you can do to aggravate us? Adobe Acrobat DC is now TOTALLY different in the toolbar layouts! WHY???

This is the way. Thank you

When I select the Disable new Acrobat it prompts me to restart the app, fine no problem, but once re-opened it is not disabling the new Acrobat at all. Everything moves so slow with this new update 😓

That is not what I experience. What is your OS and version?  Did you try to uninstall? (Uninstall - Download - Reinstall or Uninstall - AcroCleaner- Download - Install)

I agree 100%. It's so annoying!

[Justin255349310nig]

Thank you for this. I've been using it for months and it's been driving me crazy. The new interface is completely unintuitive and inconsistent with any other interface. Adobe - Am sure the intentions were good but please revert it back to something we are used to or consistent with the way an operating system works.

• • Windows: Click the hamburger menu ( 3 lines ) at the upper left corner and choose Disable new Acrobat.

The essential complement to the hamburger menu:

This doesn’t work for some of us. I know where the hamburger menu is and I click Disable. When it restarts, it’s the same awful new Acrobat.

Any other suggestions are welcome.

then use the cc app to uninstall (including preferences), then reinstall.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The new layout was frustrating beyond comprehension. Now I can go strait to the last page again instead of clicking away into oblivion at the new right hand scroll function. I can also search again using the familiar keyboard shortcut. You're a rockstar!

[jane-e]

You're welcome @WendyDS 😊 I'm glad this is working for you!

I am one of the many for whom this isn't working.  Tried numerous times, even in Administrator mode but with no luck.  I would appreciate some help.

@Al35052774nxbw 

did you restart acrobat after disabling "new acrobat"?

[Al35052774nxbw]

Hiya, thanks for replying.  Yes, in fact it restarted itself.

@Al35052774nxbw 

reset your preferences, https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-defau...

and then retry the fix.

[Al35052774nxbw]

Hiya.  I appreciate the help but all that meant nothing I´m afraid, for example no [DC/2017/2020] folder.

Can you tell me what this means please - then use the cc app to uninstall (including preferences), then reinstall.  For example, what is the cc app?  Cheers.

[jane-e]

 what is the cc app?  Cheers.

However, you don't need it to uninstall/reinstall Adobe Acrobat. Use these steps instead:

My god, THANK YOU! I was on the edge of a meltdown with this awful, useless, irresponsible new acrobat interface. The designer who made these changes should quit this career, alongside with the PMs who approved this [cursing removed]

[bethp21224728]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!   Changes are TERRIBLE.

[David35511310aar9]

Thanks for this. Very helpful. I, too, don't know why developers feel the need to take something that works (like the old view) and make it less easy to work.
