JAWS Power Tip: How To Disable the New Adobe Acrobat Reader Experience - Top Tech Tidbits
The "new" Adobe Acrobat Reader experience is a redesigned interface that is enabled by default when you first start Adobe Acrobat Reader. Some users, especially those using screen readers like JAWS, may find the new interface less accessible or missing certain features available in the legacy interface. Disabling it can help ensure better compatibility and access to all features.
