Why was the split pane removed from Acrobat?

I recently upgraded from Acrobat 9 to Acrobat 11, and find that I'm not able to be as productive in 11. It's much harder to perform reviews because the Comment pane is difficult to work with. By default, the Comment pane is too narrow to be useful. If I undock it to try to put it underneath the document, I have to spend time fiddling with my windows to try to get the document the right size so that the undocked Comment pane can appear below it. The split pane was so much easier to work with; I hope that it will be added back in a future release. One other problem is that the scroll bar in the Comment pane is so narrow, it's difficult to click it.
Can anyone suggest any workarounds to help deal with these new features?

I tried the Touch Mode, which could probably help if I was viewing PDFs on a tablet, but unfortunately, it didn't do anything to increase the width of the Comment pane scroll bar, which is the UI element that I'm finding too narrow.
I would have thought that Adobe's main customers would be using review and comment features heavily, so it's disappointing to see these types of UI changes made.
As a workaround, I'm finding that I can at least split the page text, undock the Comment pane, and have it cover the bottom pane. That's a bit easier than trying to get it to fit under a resized main window. With most software that allows undocking, it usually lets you dock to a different spot, which would have worked fine here for those of us who would like to keep the comments at the bottom of the screen for better readability.

  • Why was the link button removed from the piano roll?

    Why was the LINK (chain) button removed from the piano roll? This makes Logic X useless to me as I can no longer compose or perform new lines based on previous midi performances. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

    I miss that button too and just filled out the LX Feedback form (Menubar -> Logix Pro X-> Feedback) with the following text. Maybe if you guys did the same, we had a chance revive this essetial feature!!!
    thanks!
    Sebi
    Hi there,
    it seems as if the Link Button (Yellow chain symbol) has been removed from the piano roll for no reason. In Score View it is still there.
    I (and probably more users) absolutely NEED that Button to decouple the content of the piano roll from the selected track/region AND to use multiple piano roll windows with independent content.
    - For transscripting (Mute/Solo Audio regions while editing a Midi-Region)
    - For arranging. Edit 2 different midi regions both in separate Piano Roll windows
    - For recording. "Reading" Drum-Patterns while recording the Bass e.g.
    Please bring that button back or explain why it was removed
    Best regards,

  • Why was the golden ratio removed from the crop tool in PSE 13?

    Why remove features?  Put it back in.  I think it's time to go back to 10.  Everything about that version was better than 13, except the 64-bit part.

    Hi MBP,
    I'm new to this software, but I don't think that you're correct in saying that PSE13 is the first to suggest crops. In looking around at various tutorials, cropping guidelines are mentioned for versions 10 and on. Adobe's own "What's New In PSE 13" site, formally states that the golden ratio cropping guideline is no longer available. See (near bottom):
         Photoshop Elements Help | What's new in Photoshop Elements 13
    I regret it, because I could really use that guide. From what I've seen of the guide in earlier PSE versions, it looked like a clumsy implementation. To use this guide properly you want to be able to put the focus point in any of four possible places inside a crop. It looks like they used to support only two locations. Perhaps it was yanked because they need to do a lot of work on the interface to get this complex guiding tool implemented correctly. Maybe the next release?

  • Why was the pause button removed from the download bar?

    I know about the pause option in the context menu, but the question is simply, why??? And the pause option is greyed out for me in the context menu, and yeah I've looked at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980832 and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/981703 but the suggestions don't solve it for me.
    My question is, why just remove some functionality that a lot of users are used to having? Why do you want to make people use an add-on for what seems to be one of the simplest and most fundamental functionality of a web browser? What do you hope to accomplish?

  • WHY was the Print icon removed?

    WHY was the Print icon removed?
    I want it back.
    I used to have an icon for printing on the Toolbar in 3.5.5.
    When I asked where it went, I found this answer: "That Print window will show every time you go to print something in Firefox 3.6+ versions, the option to suppress that window from appearing and the user to be able to print "directly" was removed." Tried to reinstall 3.5.5 but couldn't. Not liking 3.6 at all

    Took a tad more than just "going to Customize. " First thing to do was figure out where "Customize" might be. Just guessing, I clicked the three-horizontal-line box at far right end of the address bar. Downloads was on that menu. But I want it on my toolbar, where it used to be at far right of address box. At bottom of the Menu screen there was a bar, Customize. Clicked that and got a screen where I could move Download and other icons around by clicking on the icon, holding, and dragging. But that didn't get it on the toolbar. Finally, out of curiosity I right-clicked the icon to see what would happen. I got a small box giving me choice to Move to Toolbar. Clicked that. BINGO!!! Also figured out you can do same by clicking View/Toolbars/Customize, then right click any icon you want on Toolbar and put it there. Thanks for starting me in right direction.

  • Did Occipital, Inc. stop making the ClearCam app? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Why was the ClearCam app deleted from iTunes.?

    The ClearCam app by Occipital, Inc. was deleted from iTunes? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Does anyone know why the app was deleted from iTunes? Just looking for an answer, because I used that app on a daily basis for work. I'd appreciate it so much if some had an answer to this question. Thanks

    I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
    Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
    Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

  • My old eyes ask: Why was pinch to zoom removed from the finder in Lion?

    Pinch to Zoom was one of Snow Leopard's major comforts for me. I don't recall that Apple had ever removed a cool feature before. Every update brings disappointment and 10.7.3 is no exception.

    access the seeing option in the universal access section of system preferences.  Apple have removed several features that people have loved..Front Row and access to PPC apps are a few gone in Lion.

  • Why was "Recent pages" downarrow removed from the navigation toolbar in Firefox 4? It showed recent pages for each open tab. I used it quite a bit and won't "upgrade" until it's back!

    A missing "recent pages" button missing from Internet Explorer is one reason I don't use IE.
    Recent pages used to be the down arrow to the right of the "Go forward one page" right arrow. Please restore ASAP

    Use this to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

  • Why is the .wav file removed from text messages?

    Why is my IPhone removing the .wav file that is being sent via text message to my phone? If I send it via an email it comes in but not via a text message sent to my phone number.

    I see that there have been 212 views but no replies. I'd love to know if anyone has any thoughts. I ahve voicemails from an outside company forwarded to my IPhone and they come in MUCH quicker via text format then with email. They would also be easier to open. If this is simply not availabel ok but I've seen some other Google results that seem to imply that attached files are available??
    Is it because the files are bigger then a standard text message that is gets removed.
    Any imput would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Was the NTP server removed from Mountain Lion Server?

    I can't find the settings in the Server app or information in the documentation.  Is the NTP server gone?

    I think I have figured this out for Lion so I imagine it is not much different in Mountian Lion.
    /etc/ntp.conf on both clients and servers has a line indicating which time server the local machine is looking at.
    On our server it points to time.apple.com.  On our clients it points the the FQDN of our server.
    On clients and servers the ntpd daemon appears to be running by default.
    Server Admin had a button to enable the local NTP server.  That is the only thing I cannot see for sure from the .conf files.
    Possibly this is all running by default and we can just point each machine to the appropriate server.
    Any other ideas?
