Disabling the New Acrobat Reader Version to Enable the Back Button

If you are experiencing navigation issues, such as the inability to use the back button, it may be caused by the new Acrobat Reader version. To disable the new version and restore functionality, follow these steps:

1. Open Adobe Reader
2. Go to View > Disable New Acrobat.

This will revert Adobe Reader to its previous version, restoring full navigation functionality, including the back button.
