PLEASE do not make this the default. I don't want to have to turn it off EVERY SINGLE FILE. You do not know what I need in my layout--I DO. TURN IT OFF. REAL designers do not want or need this feature--why should this app make arbitrary decisions about my layout? ***** this--when will you start listening to users?

Please turn this feature off ASAP! It's resizing things that I have set to very specific sizes - symbols have to conform to set standards for printing and some of these are coming out too small now because it is auto adjusting layout!! My margins and bleeds kept appearing off and I finally realised it's because it defaults to On!! such a ridiculous feature. Why it's auto-set to ON is beyond me!

Voted. This has been giving me headaches, as well.

DUMBEST FEATURE, F*CK YOU.
sorry, not sorry.

Ravi - this needs a more urgent review. It needs a patch to offer the ability to permanently disable it.
It's a massive problem for print workflows.
Please urgently attend to it and have a patch released.

Please change the default setting for Adjust Layout to Off. If this package is designed for professionals, surely it should be our choice when to add in rarely used, automated features like this, not to have to remember to switch them off for every document.

Please change the default setting to off.

Agree, awful feature, nearly ruined designs often

Please change this setting to be off by default!

Please kill it. It's the worst feature Adobe has added. If you change the bleeds or document size and don't notice the "auto adjust", your work gets messed up and becomes very costly if you didn't catch it!.
PLEASE remove it or give us an option to turn it off permanently.
Thank you!

I agree, please make "auto adjust" off by default.

Off please. Off. in fact delete it. It's an awful feature.

Please turn the "Auto-adjust Size" to "off" by default. This function has a serious impact on our file modification and it can easily lead to errors.

In our production workflow, we are constantly adjusting document and margin sizes in client files to add additional bleed, pole pockets, hems, etc. We cannot have the original layout changing during these operations. With adjust layout, we are forced to click something off every time. And, it's very easy to miss this step, have our client file adjusted in scale by mistake, print a job and have it rejected because it's slightly too large or small. I echo those here who say please update this ASAP so we can turn it off completely. I will never, ever need this feature in a pro print shop. And, it could end up costing us a lot of money if we miss turning it off manually for every single file.

I'll be another to add this should be off by default.

YES!!! This is a RIDICULOUS feature that only belongs in ****** programs like Word or Publisher.
As a professional service providers with thousands of client files we work on, having this feature turned on by default is unacceptable and dangerous. On top of that, the 'first character typed' problem still exists in CC 2019.. a real pain too. We've been losing faith in Adobe products over the last few years as they've become less stable.

please turn this to "off" by default

Chiming in to add that this feature is completely unnecessary and unintuitive. It has nearly destroyed important documents that I am working on. Off by default, please and thank you.

Yes this is really annoying, please allow us to turn it off in preferences so I don't have to do it for every individual document!
