Adobe is trash | Community
community.adobe.com
Can't believe I am stuck paying for this garbage program. Absolutely filled with bugs that even their support team can't fix. Brand new powerful Windows Computer exclusively used to fill out forms on Adobe and Adobe Pro won’t operate without glitches.

    Just a reminder even PewDiePie stopped using Adobe products after 15 years of daily usage. He switched to GIMP, but that is not my main point. I found it interesting how he gets even charged for cancelling the service! Look, I’m not a PewDiePie fan and usually don’t watch his videos. But this one was pretty fun. The video with timestamp at the segment I was talking about: https://youtu.be/pVI_smLgTY0?t=329

        I love Foss projects and I try to be as positive as I can be. There are several programs that while having a learning curve are actually usable, but gimp is so user hostile its insane.

        How in the ever living fuck does it not have a god damn circle tool. Why the fuck can’t I rotate selections in real time, I need to precalculate the angle and pray it’s correct.

        And those are just 2 things I encountered while trying to make a shitty image of pinkie pie as Dante Alighieri 2 days ago. I can’t imagine having to actually learn it to replace Photoshop for work.

        And it’s so intentionally shitty, inkscape has a UX that’s at least 10 times better, 1000 times since they actually let you draw a god damn circle ffs.

            It’s actually a valid thing to need. If nothing else, circular masks are much easier to do when you don’t have to go and search for a png of a circle for a task that should’ve been over by the time you hit enter in the search bar. I understand GIMP is made with entirely volunteer work, and people shouldn’t be hostile towards anything FOSS unless given good reason, but there are very good reasons people cannot switch to GIMP.

        It isn’t though. People that learn on Photoshop expect everything to work like Photoshop and when it doesn’t it’s that program’s fault.

    Cathartic to read. So much potential and goodwill squandered to make the buggiest nonsense whose sole job it is to render text and graphics. Is morbidly funny to see how our collective 8 billion minds haven’t figured out this one thing, built an open source protocol, and moved on. The mind virus, because there is one just not the one that’s oft referenced, is allowing rent seeking monopolies to do a shit job repackaging and enshitiffying basic digital infrastructure. These ideas are so self evident.

    We could have moved on to the next item in the list of solvable problems. But more likely than not Adobe will kick this dead horse for another half century as we all watch. The extraction model is at odds with humanity’s needs. May the realization of this be our eventual salvation.

    Hi All!

    We appreciate your valuable feedback! We’re always looking for ways to make Acrobat better, and we appreciate the time and effort you have taken to share your feedback with us.

    We acknowledge that the new Acrobat represents a notable change, however we hope that as you get familiar with the new interface, you are able to be more productive & get more out of Acrobat. With the new interface, we aim to:

    Provide a simplified viewing experience that helps reduce clutter & optimise it for most used PDF actions that are relevant while viewing a document.

    Easily allow users to discover PDF tools they need by ensuring tools are intuitively grouped and a click away,
    For example, all tools that allow content, page & file level edits can be found under one action-based verb called “Edit”; tools that allow converting files to & from PDFs can be found under “Convert”; tools that allow filling & signing documents or requesting signatures from others under “Sign”.
Most importantly, the new interface enables users to effortlessly move between different PDF tools to complete their document related tasks.

    For example, someone viewing comments in a PDF should also be able to easily edit the text of it without interrupting their workflow.

    A user can seamlessly perform page level edits such as reordering, inserting, extracting, rotating or deleting pages while editing content and/or commenting on the file.

    We would also like to highlight that we have exhaustively tested these changes with users over the past 12 months, keenly monitoring user behaviour & addressing top user issues before gradually rolling out the new interface to the Acrobat user base.

    A point to note is that as we made these changes in the interface, we have ensured all tools & features that are currently supported, retain their familiar functionalities and workflows as they did in the previous version. We are proactively addressing any gaps or issues reported by users related to any break in current workflows.

    We will follow up on this response with a detailed article explaining the changes, a guide to help familiarise you to the new interface, along with regular updates on upcoming changes.

    Thank you once again for your feedback and do look forward to our upcoming releases!

    ~Anand Sri.
