When you should be taking notes and getting back into the lab and making improvements, you send this drone out there to fight with the users. I have never seen anything like this anywhere. What is not acceptable though is TAKING THIS KIND OF APPROACH with your customers writing in BOLD ALL CAPS to highlight their stupidity. It's not like you have ever been cutting edge with your UI for Acrobat, it was always klunky and poor, and you seem to have a basic refusal to use standard UI elements on the Mac to begin with, but you really upped your game with this release. Nowadays when users say, 'This is crap', companies just push back and say they'll get used to it, they're just stupid users, etc.Īdobe, this is a monstrosity, a pile of garbage. What in the heck?Īdobe: 'No, it's awesome and you're a bunch of idiots if you don't think so.'īack in the day, used to be that companies took responses from customers and made adjustments to their products so that their 'genius' design that left the lab, flaws and all, could be modified (i.e.

The thing that takes the cake though is this Adobe rep's responses IN ALL CAPS YOU STUPID USERS because you OBVIOUSLY DO NOT GET IT. I expected something to look like this on Windows 3.1. It is one of the most horrifying user interface experiences I have seen in my life. So seriously.how about if the Adobe people stop trying to tell us how to use the tools to do our jobs? Can we do that?įirst, I lasted one day with DC. Even after you close that if you then click the Acrobat icon in the dock that damn thing opens right back up. And if you want to discuss 'why waste the screen real estate' lets open the discussion on that stupid Home/Tools window that displays every time you close a PDF. There is no substitute for the human eye in critical prepress work and for some damn reason Adobe is hell bent on changing everyone to the Adobe way. More often than not it will not though and it NEVER will in a raster CMYK image that has black type in CMYK. Yes preflight can tell if there is RGB content and PDF preflight will sometimes convert those RGB or even CMYK blacks to black only.

Separation preview is critical in prepress work where one needs to view every PDF with the black separation off to see just what kind of moronic things designers have done. Ya know.that is the same kind of talk and attitude that eventually doomed Quark. But why do you need it? There is no useful reason to have it open at all times – so why waste the screen real estate.
