I HATE ALL OF THE 2023 UPDATES

WHO DECIDED THAT WE DON'T NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING? IN THE DESIGN COMMUNITY, THE ONE THING WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO WHEN USING ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS IS BE ABLE TO SEE. 

 

SO WHO IN THIS COMPANY DECIDED WE DON'T NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE OUR SIGHT. CAN'T SEE ANY OF THE TOOLBARS. CAN'T SEE THE TABS AND MORE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. CAN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT I WOULD NORMALLY USE. BECAUSE WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT IN BEING ABLE TO SEE? 

 

I'M SUPPOSED TO JUST GUESS AND CLICK AT RANDOM UNTIL THE CORRECT EFFECT, FILTER, ICON OR WHATEVER COMES UP WASTING A TON OF TIME BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. WHY THE HELL IS EVERYTHING SO SMALL AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE SIZE OF IT?

 

FOR THE DURATION OF THIS COMPANY BEING IN EXISTENCE LONG BEFORE THEY HAD THE CREATIVE SUITE, OR A CLOUD EXISTED, THE TOOLS ON THIS PROGRAM WERE ABLE TO BE SEEN. SO WHO IN ALL OF THIS TIME WITH THIS MOST CURRENT UPDATE DECIDED THAT WE DON'T NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM? ESPECIALLY WITH YAWL CONSTANTLY MOVING CRAP AROUND WITH EVERY SINGLE UPDATE. INSTEAD OF JUST LEAVING THINGS AS THEY WERE. YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANYTHING BETTER. YOU'RE NOT FIXING PROBLEMS YOU'RE JUST CREATING MORE. THE BACK DATED VERSIONS WERE BETTER. TRUTHFULLY, YOU GO BACK TO LEVEL 5/6 WHICH IS OH SO LONG AGO BEFORE THESE DUMB SUBSCRIPTIONS, YOU HIT A LEVEL WHERE THINGS WERE JUST FINE. 

 

BUT NOW WE'RE IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU'RE BREAKING IT ON PURPOSE JUST SO WE CAN COMPLAIN. 

 

THE FACT THAT SO MANY OF US HAVE PLACED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ICONS AND MORE BEING SO SMALL. SERIOUSLY WHO IN THIS COMPANY THOUGHT THAT AFTER SOME 20 PLUS YEARS THAT WE SUDDENLY DON'T NEED TO SEE ANYTHING? 

 

FONTS AT LESS THAN ONE POINT AND CAN'T BE ENLARGED. SO YOU CAN'T READ THE WORDS UNDER THE PICS WHICH ARE ALSO SUPER SMALL TO DESCRIBE WHAT THINGS ARE. YOU'RE JUST TO REMEMBER WHAT THINGS ARE... DESPITE THE FACT THAT YAWL ARE MOVING THINGS AROUND. 

 

THIS IS UTTER RIDICULOUSNESS. NEXT THING IT SEEMS YAWL GOING TO REMOVE THE ZOOM TOOL. SINCE WHOEVER MADE THAT EXECUTIVE DECISION THAT WE DON'T NEED TO SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WEAR A MAGNIFYING GLASSES TO GET IN SUPER CLOSE TO A SCREEN THAT'S ALREADY IN MY FACE EMITTING UNHEALTHY LIGHT TO SEE ICONS, BECAUSE YAWL DECIDED TO MAKE THEM EXTRA SMALL. FOR WHAT REASON/. YAWL KEEP ADDING STUFF WE DON'T NEED. IF IT WAS ABOUT THE ARTBOARD THE TOOL BARS AND MORE COULD HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED AND PUT BACK WHEN NECESSARY WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN OPTION. BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON YAWL JUST DECIDED TO DECREASE THE SIZE LIKE WE DON'T NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE. 

 

YAWL HAVE THESE BLOATED PROGRAMS THAT CAN'T EVEN BE LOADED ONTO A SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY TAKE UP WAY TOO MUCH SPACE. IT DON'T. IF I AM TO BE PAYING FOR A SUBSCRIPTION I'D LIKE TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO USE THE PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF GETTING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE SCREEN AND STILL CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. THAT'S IF IT LOADS AT ALL. 

 

HAD TO BUY A WHOLE NEW COMPUTER JUST BECAUSE OF THE BLOATED SOFTWARE YAWL CREATED WOULDN'T LOAD. I FINALLY LOAD IT UP AND STILL CAN'T USE IT CAUSE I CAN'T SEE IT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GOOGLE AND MORE TO SEE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE ONLY TO FIND THAT IT CAN'T BE FIXED BECAUSE WHAT THEY'RE SAYING DOESN'T EXIST IN THE 2023 VERSION. AND THE FACT THAT I CAN'T BACK DATE IT TO A VERSION THAT ACTUALLY WORKED. 

 

EVEN WORST IS THE SOLUTION YAWL CLAIM TO OFFER GOING INTO THE INTERFACE TO MAKE CHANGES ONLY WORKS FOR THE TOOLS AND MORE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE AND NOT THE LAYERS AND ICONS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. WHICH ARE "GASP" ALSO NEEDED. 

 

IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIX THINGS FOR THE BETTER LEAVE IT ALONE.

Hi @Uxorious,

 

Sorry for your experience with Acrobat Reader.

 

From the above description, it looks like you are using Acrobat Reader for your desktop.

 

If yes, can you check and let me know if you are using the new Modern Viewer for Acrobat? Can you try clicking the hamburger menu button on the top left-> select the option "Disable New Acrobat"?

 

Once selected, the application should restart and you will be able to see the toolbars as the previous design had.

 

Hope this helps.

Kinda wild that you had to make a specific function to disable the new Acrobat.

It's like you already knew nobody was going to like it.

 

Also OP, "Yawl"?

Hi @Akiba26053290php9,

 

Hope you are doing well.

 

As Bernd mentioned, we cannot identify the application you are experiencing these issues with.

 

Would you mind clarifying more so we can assist you better or moving the thread to the appropriate board?

 

Look forward to hearing from you.

I found this rant when I was searching for what the hell happened to Actobat Reader.

As the original poster wrote, all the toolbars and such are gone.
