New Vs. Old Adobe Acrobat Reader
Since this update occurred on my computer, I decided to explore the new Adobe Acrobat Reader. So far, I have found the updates to the user interface just superficial.
You still have access to all the tools and items available in the old Adobe Acrobat. However, they are in a different location.
Zoom and layers are now on the right-hand side of the page.
The good news is that all of the useful shortcuts used in sewing with a projector are still available. The most commonly used shortcuts are:
CTRL (Cmd) + Y = Typeable zoom
CTRL (Cmd) + L = Full screen mode
CTRL (Cmd) + K = Preferences
CTRL (Cmd) + shift + (plus or minus) = Rotate
Ready to Learn the New?

If you are new to using Adobe Acrobat reader for reading patterns or sewing with a projector, I highly recommend taking a look at the tutorials on Adobe Acrobat!
Happy projecting with old (or new) Adobe Acrobat Reader!
