Dear Adobe: Top 100

(+306) Why does the Acrobat Reader take two minutes to launch, and require updates twice a month, just to display PDF pages? #289
(+281) adobe reader takes too long to open PDFs #242
(+274) please stop bloating each new release of Adobe Reader with unnecessary crap. 200MB+ for reading PDF's? puuhh-lease. #927
(+257) Please stop annoying me with installer updates when all I want to do is view PDFs in my browser. #406
(+254) Please create an installer that puts your software on my computer in less time than it takes to install an operating system. #403
(+253) please cut out the DRM crap, and price your products reasonably. #70
(+252) Lower your prices #87
(+251) Stop creating new features and make your software fast, stable and straightforward. #113
(+246) 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
(+245) Why does Photoshop cost as much as a pre-owned small car? Drop the price please!! #215
(+245) I really don't want a 'My eBooks' folder. Please ask first. #524
(+244) Please fix your update system. I am tired of constant requests to run patches that won't install. Acrobat is a fucking nightmare. #195
(+244) For the next version, please could you stop adding features and work on performance and stability instead? #381
(+244) 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
(+243) 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
(+241) Please update your Updater so that it won't take 110% of my CPU just to download some files. #593
(+240) 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
(+238) 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
(+237) 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
(+235) Make my 2009 Photoshop faster than Photoshop 3.5 #400 / View Correction
(+234) The world is global now. Please fix your pricing. Thank you. #452
(+234) Please make a lightweight version of the pdf reader #668
(+232) 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
(+230) Please stop forcing your PDF plug-ins into every orifice of OS X. Apple designed Preview for a reason. Fucking deal with it. #516
(+229) 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
(+227) Give up on Updater. There are far better (read: less obnoxious) ways to update an app. #175
(+226) Why is Adobe Reader using more RAM than Supreme Commander? #156
(+223) Let me keep my browser open while you update your programs. Or eat hair. The choice is yours. #532
(+221) 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
(+221) Quality is better than quantity. #891
(+220) Please read and consider everything written on this website. It's for your own good #110
(+220) Stop adding features. Focus on stability, speed and removing bloat. #475
(+219) Adobe Updater is the single worst piece of software I have ever seen. Please fuck off with that. #362
(+219) Please kill the retarded Adobe Downloader, it's 2008 #701
(+219) slim down Acrobat Reader in to something more like Foxit Reader #724
(+218) Better font browser in Photoshop, please? #224 / View Correction
(+218) remember when your applications were lightning fast? I miss that. #419
(+216) You know what would be nice? Finally standardizing the interface between ALL of your applications. #19 / View Correction
(+216) Please read this website. #398
(+214) 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
(+213) Stop bundling crap with Reader - I don't want AIR installed unbeknownst to me! #555
(+213) Please lower your prices #933
(+212) 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
(+212) Flash Player needs to perform the same on Mac as it does on Windows. Crazy idea, right? #857
(+210) please either make the vector tools in Photoshop work like completely like Illustrator, or just leave them out. Their half-assedness is aggravating. #511 / View Correction
(+210) 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
(+206) 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
(+206) Your updater sucks. Make it, perhaps, suck less. #864
(+204) Please stop raising your upgrade prices. I'm sick of paying for your merger. #487
(+203) can Photoshop and Illustrator (and InDesign, etc.) please just work the same? Same guides, same text tools, etc. #36 / View Correction
(+203) Your updaters suck. And Acrobat's bloatware. #264
(+203) Please stop keeping the PC and Mac versions separate. One combined version, one license. How hard is that? #950 / View Correction
(+202) please, please, please make all the shortcuts in all your applications the same. is it really that hard? #93 / View Correction
(+202) 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 / View Correction
(+202) Please make photoshop give my ram back when I quit #354 / View Correction
(+202) Please use a proper installer so I CAN install your updates. #479
(+200) 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
(+200) 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
(+199) 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
(+199) I didn't ask for Bridge to install with CS3. #1111
(+197) i love you but you're expensive #14
(+197) Why are your products so friggin' expensive? #245
(+197) Lower your pricing already. #570
(+196) Please sort out the rubbish auto-update feature of Acrobat Reader. #346
(+196) 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 / View Correction
(+195) 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 / View Correction
(+194) charge less. #72
(+194) Please stop telling me Acrobat has been updated and I need to restart. #288
(+193) Why is your software so hideously overpriced? #638
(+192) 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
(+192) 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
(+191) Your Installation programs take WAY too long to work. #218
(+190) Please make your applications consistent. #101 / View Correction
(+190) Why do you cost so much ... #252
(+190) 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
(+190) Please lower international pricing - why do we have to pay more than 100% more than US customers. Even online! #956
(+187) Please make your international pricing fair. #548
(+187) 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
(+186) You're fucking expensive #754
(+186) Make your products cheaper... #1025
(+185) Why the fuck to you have to force this Stock Photo, Bridge crap on me? #290
(+185) Why can't the Flash plugin be fast on the Mac? #867
(+183) why can't I copy/paste formatted text from one of your expensive applications into another one of your expensive applications #461
(+182) you are really damn expensive #287
(+181) Stop price-gouging your international customers. #688
(+180) Do you think its smart to put the names of the developers up when the product is taking forever to load? #598
(+179) Mouse wheel. Learn what it is. #478
(+179) 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
(+179) please don't charge DOUBLE for your apps in Europe just because you can. It makes you even more evil than Microsoft. #1112
(+178) Let me change the opacity on multiple layers at once! #51 / View Correction
(+178) maybe using my scroll wheel in a palette should elicit some kind of response (like scrolling) #123
(+178) 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
(+178) Can you please save the history in my PSD files so I can come back to a project later and use the history brush? #627 / View Correction
(+178) please do a LIGHT acrobat reader (hint: foxit readerà #887
(+178) Please make run Adbobe Reader run as fast as the Preview app on the Mac #1011
(+177) Why do I have to shut down every other application to run updates on your products? #314
(+177) Stop selling me suites. Or let me select programs for my suite. #473
(+177) The exchange rate for £ to the US$ is NOT 1:1. Your apps cost twice as much in the UK, you bastards. #845
(+177) Adobe updater is soooooo horrible. It NEVER works. It ALWAYS fails. I HATE IT. And you know this. You must know how bad it is. It is just that no one wants to work on it. Because it is so bad. Offer some kind of bonus to the team that fixes the dad gum friggin' adobe updater. Before it is too late. Cheers, Michael #865
(+176) You going to write a file viewer that starts up in under 5 minutes? #255
