    Thanks for your helpful content. Sadly, update is not user friendly. As an editorial (digital) QA stage, this rearrangement of commands ruins fluency for my multi pg, highly time-sensitive contents. I´m unable to remove some preset commands in order to fill valuable space with what really works for me and fix them for visibility, as I work with split screen most of the time. HATE those 2 horizontal almost empty ribbons on top of screen and that the vertical bar prioritizes preset vs. personalized choices. Going back to former version, but I guess that option is temporary.

    My edit button (3:04) looks nothing like yours and I have no idea on how to get it that way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall as I may lose some my stamps and signatures. So back to the old version I go for the time being.

      You have to change your properties on that signature field. There is an option that will lock fields after signing.

    Every time there's significant changes, getting back my old navigation pane is a nightmare. For instance, getting back the buttons that navigate you to the first or last page of a document. I see how it's supposed to be done, but nothing happens. There are clickables to navigate one page at a time in either direction (now stuck in the right pane as opposed to the top), but I see no way to add the fist page/last page buttons. Why should something this simple be so difficult?

    • @TheAccessibilityGuy
      @TheAccessibilityGuy  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, it's pretty hard to make those types of changes when you've gotten used to something being a certain way for so long. I would rather them spend the time actually fixing the accessibility elements from within a PDF versus changing everything around

    Seems that once we get accustomed to using, some jackass comes and change things around so we have to relearn how and where to find things. Just because they have nothing to do with their time, doesn't mean the rest of us have time to waste jumping through their hoops. These constant unnecessary changes are becoming a real nuisance

      Well... I did indeed deactivate the latest version of Acrobat. And lo and behold - it worked just as good as always!
      What I want to have answers to is HOW to edit an scanned page (from my own written papers and printed pages often with sidenotes that I want to take off from the document)! AND I want to do this FAST - which could be done in the old Acrobate. I dont have time (doing math) to go through hell and back just to edit some documents: I want to do this easy and swift! And not with 100eds of buttonpressings involved. I have a bad arm already and dont wont it to be worse!
      AND: Adobe please answer my questions! I dont think this new version is good and userfriendly. And if his new version will be the only one in the future I WILL cancel my subsription because then it's not a thing I will or should use!
