I'm so frustrated with Reader 10 I could scream

Jun 16, 2012 12:03 PM

How can I customize the workspace. Heck how can I even get a reliable display. I go to the View/Show/Hide/Toolbar items and now there is nothing there. At least before I could get the toolbars I wanted to see--by clicking the black arrow anyway, since the convert,sign and email toolbar is ALWAYS IN THE FREAKIN' WAY OF EVERYTHING. I DON'T USE IT. I use other tools. Please!  

Why is there no support for this. It's like a black hole.

 

Adobe please take note:

 

At work we're stuck with Reader because that's all our companies allow us to have. We must rely on the commenting pane to add "bookmarks" to the documents we need reference. I need to be able to find the tools i need and put them on a toolbar that's customized to my needs and that will reappear each time I open my document.

 

I can't even get Reader X to display it's default tools the same way twice--apart for the aforementioned, hateful---sign and convert tool bar.. How can I puzzle out workarounds for my needs even on my own without your help if there is no consistency or apparent rational design with regard to the user interface!

 

Sheesh. I'm going to take one of my hormone pills now, but those jerks at Adobe really earned that perimenopausal rant there.

    Here is the feature request form: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

     

    You are not addressing Adobe here, but felllow users. Adobe created a uniform interface for most of its applications. In Acrobat and Reader the new format is clearly not to many people's taste. Very little customization is allowed in Reader. Acrobat allows for some additional customization, but many tools are now only available from the pane on the right, not from the toolbar.

     

    In some sense, the change is similar to Microsoft's Ribbon. Many people did not like the change, but everyone has learned to live with it. Some have even gotten to see its advantages.
