Adobe kills Reader in one strike of a keyboard

Adobe kills Reader in one strike of a keyboard

Adobe reader used to be a Windows forms application with highly customizable toolbars. Not anymore. The new DC version crosses over 20 years of GUI application development and reverts to the pre-Windows95 static toolbars layout.

Why am I getting my pants in the knot? Should I? Well, for someone, who actually WORKS with PDFs, it is kind of important for me to view 2 pages of a PDF file side by side at 100% zoom level. I own 1920x1200 pixel 24 inch monitors specifically for that single purpose. So what is wrong with the Acrobat Reader DC, you ask?

The static tab bar and toolbar of the DC take too much space on my monitors and no longer allow the document to be viewed on them at 100% zoom - exactly as they would look on paper. Adobe should have known better for crying out loud.

Adobe, why do you have the urge to destroy the value in your products and replace them with sad caricatures on them?
