What users experience
2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
My check boxes are not appearing on my phone when using a form, but They appear on the desktop. It was there before but not after this update.
I love the ease of marking up docs in Acrobat. But two massive issues: (1) Often (50/50%) I'll return to a document I've marked up (usually a 100-page screenplay) and find that my markups have totally vanished. (2) Simply exporting a PDF WITH the markups is preposterously difficult.
