Disabling Acrobat often refers to reverting from the modern, updated interface back to the classic or older version of Adobe Acrobat. This allows users to continue working with the familiar layout and features they are accustomed to.
Here’s how you can switch back from the new Acrobat experience on both Windows and macOS:
On Windows
To disable the new Acrobat interface on a Windows system and return to the classic view, follow these steps:
- Open Adobe Acrobat.
- Locate and click the hamburger menu icon, typically found in the top-left corner of the application window. This icon usually looks like three horizontal lines.
- From the dropdown menu, select the option Disable new Acrobat.
- Acrobat may prompt you to restart the application for the changes to take effect. Confirm and restart if necessary.
On macOS
If you are using a macOS device, you can disable the new Acrobat experience through the application's view options:
- Launch Adobe Acrobat on your Mac.
- In the top menu bar, click on View.
- From the "View" dropdown menu, select Disable new Acrobat.
- You might be asked to restart Acrobat to complete the process. Proceed with the restart.
By following these instructions, you can successfully switch back to the traditional Adobe Acrobat interface, ensuring your workflow remains consistent with your preferences.
