Was this even tested before it was released to the public?

Adobe has pre-release testers for all the Creative Suite programs and Acrobat. Occassionally I see Adobe announce for people to join the testing program.
Many of us community experts here in the forums are testers for Adobe, and many of us have been doing this since the 1980s and 1990s.

The 2023 updated interface for Adobe Acrobat is causing many users severe problems.
This post gives instructions on how to revert to the classic interface (i.e., the original interface for the past 10 years) and ditch what Adobe calls its "Modern Viewer."
In Windows Acrobat:
- Locate the "hamburger menu" in the upper left corner (3 horizontal bars where the old "File" menu used to be).
- Select Disable New Acrobat.
In Mac Acrobat:
- From the View menu at the top, select Disable New Acrobat.

You can voice your opinion about the new interface at UserVoice: https://acrobat.uservoice.com/forums/590923-acrobat-for-windows-and-mac/suggestions/47082691-ditch-t...
Be sure to leave a comment about your opinion and experience with the new interface. They need to hear from us users.
FYI, UserVoice is Adobe's official website where it reads and takes into account suggestions and complaints from users of its various products. On the other hand, this community forum is a user-to-user help forum and information posted here rarely reaches ears or eyes at Adobe.

Any idea why this "fix" won't work for some? I have tried numerous times to disbale the new version as described above, but I keep getting the new version. Thoughts? Help!

I'm a volunteer who does not work for Adobe and cannot answer this question. I've been able to go back and forth several times as I answer questions. I think this needs its own thread so it gets more attention. Can you start a new thread that describes the issue? Include screenshots, your OS, and your version of Acrobat DC.
Thank you,
