Dear Adobe: Top 100

(+274) Why does the Acrobat Reader take two minutes to launch, and require updates twice a month, just to display PDF pages? #289
(+241) Please stop annoying me with installer updates when all I want to do is view PDFs in my browser. #406
(+239) adobe reader takes too long to open PDFs #242
(+238) Lower your prices #87
(+235) Stop creating new features and make your software fast, stable and straightforward. #113
(+233) please stop bloating each new release of Adobe Reader with unnecessary crap. 200MB+ for reading PDF's? puuhh-lease. #927
(+230) please cut out the DRM crap, and price your products reasonably. #70
(+229) Please create an installer that puts your software on my computer in less time than it takes to install an operating system. #403
(+227) Please fix your update system. I am tired of constant requests to run patches that won't install. Acrobat is a fucking nightmare. #195
(+227) For the next version, please could you stop adding features and work on performance and stability instead? #381
(+223) Why does Photoshop cost as much as a pre-owned small car? Drop the price please!! #215
(+222) Skip CS4. CS3 does everything we need for now, and no one is going to catch up with you, not even Quark. Instead of forcing another version down our throats bloated with unnecessary features, you could instead take some time to make a new version that focuses on stability and performance. #161
(+222) Could you make Adobe Reader start up slower? I'd like to have enough time to go get a sandwich before I read a one page document. #614
(+221) please don't set Acrobat to be the default pdf viewer every time it gets updated. It's massively slower and clunkier than preview, and I don't want to use it. #271
(+220) Make my 2009 Photoshop faster than Photoshop 3.5 #400
(+219) The world is global now. Please fix your pricing. Thank you. #452
(+217) Your installer is the worst piece of software on the planet... well, actually, your updater is worse. For the love of all things good, fix it. #505
(+215) Why does the updater only run when I launch an Adobe program? If I'm *launching* an Adobe program, it means I'm *about to do something*, which is the LEAST convenient time for Adobe to tell me to quit all my programs (including Firefox and Outlook) so it can run the updater. Grr... #319
(+210) Please make a lightweight version of the pdf reader #668
(+209) Sort out your god-awful installers. WHY do I need to close my BROWSER when installing a graphics application? I'm using it, dammit! Not least to give me something to do while eons pass and your installers dawdle along. #32
(+209) Please update your Updater so that it won't take 110% of my CPU just to download some files. #593
(+207) I really don't want a 'My eBooks' folder. Please ask first. #524
(+204) Why is Adobe Reader using more RAM than Supreme Commander? #156
(+204) Give up on Updater. There are far better (read: less obnoxious) ways to update an app. #175
(+204) Please read this website. #398
(+204) Why do you install six "helper" applications in the background when all I want is Photoshop? Keep your Bridge to nowhere the fuck off my system. #602
(+202) Better font browser in Photoshop, please? #224
(+202) remember when your applications were lightning fast? I miss that. #419
(+199) Please read and consider everything written on this website. It's for your own good #110
(+199) why should a PDF reader need to connect to the internet whenever it feels like it and have start-on-boot components that evidently do nothing since disabling them has no noticeable effect? #177
(+199) Adobe Updater is the single worst piece of software I have ever seen. Please fuck off with that. #362
(+198) Get your fucking installers sorted out. Why do i need to CLOSE MY BROWSER to install a graphics app? I'm doing shit with my browser, you know, during the tedious wait for your installer to finish. #30
(+198) slim down Acrobat Reader in to something more like Foxit Reader #724
(+197) You know what would be nice? Finally standardizing the interface between ALL of your applications. #19
(+196) please don't copy microsoft's naming and bundling conventions. I want CS3 not CS3 pro, CS3 pro advantage, CS3 pro plus, CS3 no frills, CS3 pro max, CS3 pro extra pro max... #366
(+195) Quality is better than quantity. #891
(+194) Stop adding features. Focus on stability, speed and removing bloat. #475
(+194) Let me keep my browser open while you update your programs. Or eat hair. The choice is yours. #532
(+194) Please kill the retarded Adobe Downloader, it's 2008 #701
(+193) can Photoshop and Illustrator (and InDesign, etc.) please just work the same? Same guides, same text tools, etc. #36
(+191) Please stop forcing your PDF plug-ins into every orifice of OS X. Apple designed Preview for a reason. Fucking deal with it. #516
(+191) Stop bundling crap with Reader - I don't want AIR installed unbeknownst to me! #555
(+190) Please stop raising your upgrade prices. I'm sick of paying for your merger. #487
(+190) Could you please make your updater application _not_ suck and take up all of my processors /and/ make me shut down all of my browsers? #521
(+189) Please lower your prices #933
(+188) Why oh why is Updater.app such garbage? It's 2008 already - why do I need to close Safari so you can update InDesign, exactly? #343
(+186) give the same keyboard shortcuts to the same functions no matter what app. if you say you're going for consistency, then be fucking consistent. #294
(+186) please either make the vector tools in Photoshop work like completely like Illustrator, or just leave them out. Their half-assedness is aggravating. #511
(+185) Your updaters suck. And Acrobat's bloatware. #264
(+184) please, please, please make all the shortcuts in all your applications the same. is it really that hard? #93
(+184) Flash Player needs to perform the same on Mac as it does on Windows. Crazy idea, right? #857
(+183) Why do you think it's reasonable for your updater to steal focus while I'm typing and interpret my keystrokes as approval to reboot my machine? #789
(+181) Enable auto-recover for Photoshop, so when it inevitably crashes for the 9th time today I can get back to the corporate schlock I was working on. #28
(+181) Please make photoshop give my ram back when I quit #354
(+181) Please sort out the rubbish auto-update feature of Acrobat Reader. #346
(+181) Your updater sucks. Make it, perhaps, suck less. #864
(+180) charge less. #72
(+180) Please stop telling me Acrobat has been updated and I need to restart. #288
(+180) Please lower international pricing - why do we have to pay more than 100% more than US customers. Even online! #956
(+179) Please stop keeping the PC and Mac versions separate. One combined version, one license. How hard is that? #950
(+178) Why the hell do I need both "Adobe Help Viewer 1.0" and "Adobe Help Viewer 1.1"? This is the laziest excuse for terrible programming imaginable. At least make an effort to hide your incompetence. #637
(+177) Lower your pricing already. #570
(+177) Don't make VersionCue integral to Photoshop so the 98% of us who don't know what it is and the 25% of us for whom it doesn't work and won't update don't have to put up with it #625
(+176) Please remember that some of us are starving artists and don't have hundreds of dollars to shell out on your products every year! Try to make it reasonable to stay on top of technology!! #304
(+175) Please make your applications consistent. #101
(+175) Please make your international pricing fair. #548
(+174) Why oh why is Updater.app such garbage? It's 2008 already - why do I need to close Safari so you can update InDesign, exactly? #45
(+174) Your Installation programs take WAY too long to work. #218
(+174) Why are your products so friggin' expensive? #245
(+174) Why do you cost so much ... #252
(+173) Make your products cheaper... #1025
(+172) You're fucking expensive #754
(+171) Why the fuck to you have to force this Stock Photo, Bridge crap on me? #290
(+171) Don't save all your bug fixes for the new version I have to upgrade to. Release some for the product I already bought. #858
(+171) Please rationalise you prices around the globe. $99 to update to Lightroom 2 is not 99 Euros. Be fair to those who use your products outside the US. #952
(+170) please sort your installers out. I can't believe the byzantine kludge you make of my lovely clean file system. Applications/ and /Library/Application Support/ should be all you need. #115
(+169) i love you but you're expensive #14
(+169) Why is your software so hideously overpriced? #638
(+169) Please make run Adbobe Reader run as fast as the Preview app on the Mac #1011
(+169) I didn't ask for Bridge to install with CS3. #1111
(+168) you are really damn expensive #287
(+168) Please stop installing two hidden Opera browsers with the CS suite, I have enough browsers. Oh, and please let me run those other browsers while you are installing or updating something. #518
(+167) why can't I copy/paste formatted text from one of your expensive applications into another one of your expensive applications #461
(+167) Stop price-gouging your international customers. #688
(+166) Stop selling me suites. Or let me select programs for my suite. #473
(+166) International customers should be charged the exact same price for Adobe software purchased and downloaded from adobe.com as customers in the USA. It's the same .exe file (or Mac install file) from Australia to Brazil to Nigeria to the USA so it should be the exact same price. In USD or Euros. Stop ripping off non-Yanks! #1122
(+165) Do you think its smart to put the names of the developers up when the product is taking forever to load? #598
(+165) Mouse wheel. Learn what it is. #478
(+163) Why are you charging me an extra £240 just because I’m in the UK? I love your software, but I hate that I’m paying 73% more than my colleagues in the US… #437
(+163) I installed Acrobat 7, then had to restart my computer six times in a row -- once for each patch. It is not 2001. This kind of bullshit is no longer acceptable. #599
(+162) New features are great... only once you get the old ones right. #190
(+162) Sort out your installers. They make baby Jesus cry #325
(+162) Why is it easy to make a transparent gradient in Photoshop and so damned involved in Illustrator. Could they not be the same? #378
(+162) just because i installed acrobat does not mean i want it installed in my web browser - my computer, my choices - douchebags #676
(+162) please don't charge DOUBLE for your apps in Europe just because you can. It makes you even more evil than Microsoft. #1112
(+160) stop being so damned expensive #192
(+160) why are your products so expensive? #301
(+160) please do a LIGHT acrobat reader (hint: foxit readerà #887
(+159) why, if I've paid thousands of dollars for your products but want a hard copy, can you not just give me a freaking key to use on the downloaded copy while I wait a week for your fulfillment process to get my stuff to me?? Paying customer!! And you guys aren't cheap. Cost me a day worth of hourly pay waiting and hours of frustration with your customer "support". #187
(+159) The exchange rate for £ to the US$ is NOT 1:1. Your apps cost twice as much in the UK, you bastards. #845
