Why does my GUI look different in two different computers?

Community Beginner ,
Dec 03, 2022 Dec 03, 2022

I've recently bought a new computer, and when I installed Adobe Acrobat on it, I realized that it looks much more different than the old one. Both PCs run on Windows 11 64-bit, and both installations are very recent.

 

First one looks like this:

And the second one(which is unfamiliar to me, I want it to be like the first one) looks like this:

How do I fix this?

What a terrible name for a menu item... It should at the very least mention "layout" or "design" or even "UI".

Thank you for this. I nearly punched my monitor today when I could not hold "ctrl" and zoom in with the scroll wheel. What a terrible design decision.

Thank you! I couldn't work out why Acrobat Reader was functional and helpful on one machine I setup a year or two ago, and totally useless for reading PDFs on any other machine I opened it on!

Bernd Alheit...you ROCK.  I just got a new machine and when I opened Acrobat my mind locked up.  Thanks for fixing this for me.

Thank you!  I couldn't even use 'highlight' with one hand anymore!  Before, I could double click and it would highlight a selection.  The new one makes me use one finger to hold down the touch pad, and the other to actually move the cursor to highlight.  I do everything on laptop with no mouse, and this is ridiculously inconvenient for what I use it for!
