Day 8: I dislike (Adobe) Acrobat X, XI

The 8th day of my 100 days English diary challenge.

I had a quite long interval because I had a stomachache for a few days. During these days, I can eat little, and felt very tired after having food. I was really persuaded myself. "Eating is living". I've got well now.

Today was the first day of my new English class. Depending to some reasons, I had to join the speaking intensive course, but most of its topics and grammars were already finished by March. It was fun to talk to in English with new friends, the teacher was nice, and I understand the importance to speak fluently with confidence and with accuracy. But it is not so exciting to speak on the same topic without more depth, more useful tips.... Is the school a little lazy to teach same thing with same way all the time? I need more help for enhancing my expression. I miss my ex-class. "When you are in Rome, do as a Romans do." I don't complain anymore...

After the class, I was doing my work at home, then I finished it, I wanted to proof the CMYK ink in the PDF that I made by Adobe Illustrator. Nevertheless, I couldn't find the command to open the "print preview" window. I've checked all finder menus, side bar, then I opened the help menu... , accessed to the website, entered keywords and clicked find button, read article and again looked at the menu that they said....and....couldn't find the command!! This is ridiculous! Shame on them!?

I am a user of Adobe Creative Suite (and also Adobe Creative Cloud) and Photoshop and Illustrator change their command some times, but I never mind really for a decade. I can find the way to do what I do. However Adobe Acrobat is only particularly evolute in the worst way every version. For example, they changed all orders of menus, they hid most of the tools but if we need it, very difficult to display and also can't keep it all the time without big care. People don't want to buy a tool to just looking PDFs. For that reason, Acrobat is for professionals. Professionals tool must be more sophisticated for any professional purpose. If they hide the tools, they must offer workspace options to choose, if they create the new panel interface, they must be more flexible than the old toolbars... I like to use Acrobat 8 or 9 in spite I use the newest OS X, and It crushes some times (but Acrobat crushes on any OS X). I hope Adobe reinvents the new version of Acrobat in another way.
