Thanks for making an already great PDF reading tool worse.

 

1. Why remove the title bar? On the desktop, it provided a handle so you can move the window around. Now, it's replaced with tabs. If you have a lot of tabs open (like I do, because I cross-reference documents), you literally have to search for empty space in the title bar just to move the window around.

2. Why put the Bookmarks bar with the Comments? Bookmarks use to be on the left. Comments tool use to be on the right. I could quickly navigate to a PDF section and drop notes. Now it's merged so that you can only use either one at any point in time.

 

Asinine changes by designers who think the GUI should be consolidated.

I agree... this new design is not user-friendly.  I would rather they put their efforts into permanently fixing the problem of "Access Denied" when trying to open old Adobe files that re-arranging the design.

Why are bookmarks on the right?  This doesn't help.  Put it back.
