I am a small business owner and have multiple subscriptions to Adobe Acrobat DC that my team uses. I am also a photographer and subscribe to Adobe's photography platform that includes Lightroom and Photoshop. Beyond some minor complaints about how clunky it is, at times, to work with PDF's in Acrobat (changing colors is cumbersome, changing the properties of tools is cumbersome) I am satisfied with the products I have purchased.

I, however, HATE... with a white hot hatred... the way that the new "profiles" have been rolled out. I am constantly having to sign in and out of profiles to switch between apps that used to just work when I clicked on them... for example, Lightroom under my personal "profile" will not allow me to work with it if I am signed into my Acrobat DC account under my professional "profile" and there is no way that I have been able to find in Lightroom to rectify this... I have to log out of my professional "profile" on Acrobat DC (which closes every file I have opened) and then log into my personal "profile" on Acrobat DC just so that I can use Lightroom which was purchased under my personal "profile". I have not found an easy way to switch profiles without loggin in and out and when I reached out to support for help and to complain, I was given access to a video that did not help but which told me that I should love the new profiles feature... a feature I feel compelled to mention again that I despise because of how it has been implemented and because of the constant difficulty I face in using Lightroom / Photoshop and Acrobat DC.

Now... the preceeding comments should be read by someone in Adobe as a cry for help and I hope that there is an enlightened soul who will take this content and find some way to end the suffering. But, in today's environment who knows what will come of it... there may be people in Adobe who think that they are tech overlords and that voices of dissatisfaction like mine must be silenced. I may have, somewhere, violated their terms of service and they may fire me as a customer... LOL.

It is a brave new world and the roll out of the profiles "feature" is a disaster... that's my truth.

I used to easily specify a color for light tones, a color for dark tones, and the balance between them, all with a few easy-peasy sliders, and after a single afternoon's practice I could get the effect I wanted every time. NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT, SO WHY DID YOU CHANGE IT??? Now I fight with these unmanageable circles, and no matter how I try, I consider myself lucky if I get even a remote resemblance to my intended effect. I told myself I'd get used to it in time, I'd learn it with an afternoon of practice like I did with the old system, but no--it refuses to work for me at all. Please put it back, and stop changing things that work just fine. Change for the sake of change is insanity.

My computer has multiple hard drives, the small system drive (C) and the large data drive (D). The problem is Adobe CC saves everything to C thus rendering it full and blocking OS updates.

It shouldn't require the user to jump though hoops to change this, if it is even possible. When the user installs the app ask them where they would like files to be saved to.

Then they can either choose to go with the default location (C) or choose where they want files to be saved and then don't save files onto C anyway regardless of user choices. Given that users will be using Creative Cloud a certain level of technical experience is expected. This has been causing me a lot of problems when C is full.

Adobe has come a long way in advancing their desktop app and their file/asset sharing experience, but it needs to come a lot further for our organization to fully invest in it as a primary workflow. One specific feature that would be down-right revolutionary would be the ability to branch versions of files within the system. Figma just released this feature last month: https://releases.figma.com/2021/10/branching-in-figma-is-here.html
If we were able to slice off branches of major project files, work on them in an isolated sandbox, then merge them with the main branch when approved, our team efficiency and brand safety would sky rocket. This would essentially function the same way as Github, which should be familiar to a wide audience.
