Cant view or set bookmarks during Reading Mode

[ig34160558]

Hi,

I updated my adobe reader app on 3/10 and i now can't create and view the boomarks whilst in reading mode in the new version ie whilst viewein the pdf pages.

Could this be changed back please? I have to go into the options to see the create and view the bookmarks which is not ideal.

Could i roll back a version of the update?

If this cant be changing, I'll have to start using another app.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes you're correct and i know this. However, with the previous version you didnt need to click on the 3 "dots" and view/create bookmarks. You could view/create bookmarks whilst reading on the page. Its additional steps, its not simplified but over complicated the experience.

Please could you change back.

Thanks.

Hi,

Standard reply I'm afraid. Unfortunately I'll be moving to another app.

Thanks.

Terrible response.
As a long-time user, I don't support your choice here and the new experience is worse. The 'simplification' has complicated a key interaction.

Sorry but your response is simply incorect.  I have adobe free reader.  The options you mention do not exist on my screen and bookmarks cannot be seen.  When I try to click the three lines and seek bookmarks it asks me to upgrade for $240/year.  That is not a reasonable fee to see bookmarks, which are already part of th document.  Adobe has lost key functionality, and its appeal.
