AI 22.1 Open single page of multipage PDF now a 2-step process?
WHY, of WHY did you ***** this up? Formerly you could open a single page of a multipage PDF by simply clicking the arrows under the thumbnail. Once you found the page you want, you click open and there it is. Now, no matter what you do, the Pages Range is stuck on 1-1 (of xx). You now have to type in the number. PITA! Please fix this back to the old way.

With the introduction of multipage PDF open it is not possible for us to tie the range field to the thumbnail previews. It is not possible for us to predict the user intent just based on previews he/she has seen. Here is one example user preview pages 1 to 3 and then decided to open pages 1-2.

There are multiple threads about this same topic. I can't believe that it's not possible to change. Can we at least have the option to go back to the old way if you won't fix it?

InDesign pages would really rock, but it would conflict with past practice. I would advise avoiding that as the "old" way is perfectly fine. (Use InDesign for InDesign Projects... lol)
Same with the arrow key to "next page" being followed on the "open" command. It's always been like that and is that way for all my other programs. It's a simple coding mistake as they implemented their "Open all pages" option...
It's funny how the Illustrator programmer doesn't look at the Photoshop program. The Creative Suite is trying to become seamless in its operation, but there are features that are the same but implemented totally different (like this.... ) : )

same here, very annoying. it should change the range as you click the arrow.
e.g. 2-2
i can see if you wanted to jump to page 56 that might be handy but most users probably don't make that many pages in illustrator.In fact the way illustrator deals with multipage docs is annoying. give us a pages panel like indesign.

Please, pretty please, Adobe fix this! It worked just fine before!

I agree, having now to physically type the number into the "Range:" window is just a really good example of a lazy coder.
Easy fix... just do it. It sets us up for errors in our workflow.

I was able to reproduce this on 3 different machines. Rich is correct. if you try to use the arrows under the thumbnail it will open page 1, no matter what page you selected. You have to manually type the page number into the range section to get the page you want.
