The entire interface of the latest version of Adobe Acrobat has been overhauled for efficiency and accessibility. The design even trickles down to the numeric version indicator, where Adobe forsakes the traditional Arabic numeral 10 for the hipper, Roman equivalent of X (although it is still pronounced “ten”). The new face is cleaned up and ready to work.

The biggest news by far in Acrobat X is the renovation of the main user interface. When Microsoft released Office 2007, the company replaced the long-established menu system with the Ribbon. Microsoft acknowledged that the Ribbon was a response to the fact that users had trouble finding functions buried in menus. The Ribbon ushered in a new model for software design that focused on revealing existing features and making them more accessible.
