the new version of the pdf reader sucks

I don't like the new update of the PDF reader, I prefer the previous version which was simpler. It is annoying to have to use the magnifying glass to enlarge the page and then have the enlarge or reduce box appear next to the tab to download the page. I liked the previous version, I hope you update it and it's like before.

To go back to the old UI click the Options button at the top left corner (Windows) or open the View menu (Mac) and select Disable New Acrobat.

The new update is awful. Thank goodness there is still an option to return to the old version. Terrified they will remove that option one day and we'll be forced to use the "updated" version, which is just a worse version of the current one  with the panes swapped and everything is harder to use. Adobe, please don't do it!

Thank you! The new version was incredibly unintuitive and I'm staggered that it was ever allowed to be released. Whatever happened to usability testing before release.  😞
