  1. Please give option to remove that toolbar from the page. Whenever i try and concentrate on reading document it always gets attention. Better have the option to hide from the main screen.

  2. Product: Adobe Acrobat (Creative Cloud)
    Version: 25.001.21111 (64-bit)
    OS: Windows 11

    Adobe Acrobat 2025.x forces all web hyperlinks in PDF files to open in Microsoft Edge, ignoring the Windows default browser.

    Prior versions allowed users and enterprises to control this behavior via preferences or registry settings. Those controls have been removed or no longer function.

    This is a regression that breaks expected OS behavior for users and organizations standardized on Chrome or Firefox.

    Please restore a user-visible preference or honor the system default browser.

  3. I'm running into an issue where I open certain files (invoice forms) all made from the same template and the fields are blank and an error shows up regarding ArialMT font being missing. Found that if we disable "New Acrobat" the file opens normally, but this disables the page organization sidebar I like to use. Once we re-enable "New Acrobat" it works normally again until the next restart. Then the issue recurs. I believe there is some kind of bug causing this graphical malfunction.

  5. I rely on your software at work, but lately it feels like every time I try to do something simple—like rotate a page, highlight a sentence, or reorder a couple of pages—I end up clicking on an ad instead of the actual tool. Even features that aren’t behind a paywall get buried under pop‑ups, banners, or buttons that look like they’ll perform the task but actually take me to a subscription pitch.
    When I’m just trying to quickly preview a PDF, change the view mode, or add a comment, those upsells interrupt the flow and make basic tasks feel more…

  6. Dear Adobe Acrobat Product Team,
    I am writing to flag a usability regression in the current macOS version of Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    In previous versions of Acrobat, users could set the Selection (cursor) tool as the default on opening PDFs via the “Always use the Selection Tool” preference. In the latest macOS releases, this option appears to have been removed entirely, with Acrobat now defaulting to the Hand Tool and repeatedly reverting to it during normal document navigation.
    For users who work extensively with text—particularly legal, academic, and professional users—this materially degrades workflow efficiency. Selecting, copying, annotating, and marking up…

  7. The old acrobat had buttons that went to previous or next view. These are also accessed in the old and new acrobat with "alt - <" and "alt - >". I generally navigate a document with my hand on the mouse.

    To return from clicking on bookmark, it used to be convenient to click on previous view "alt - <" without lift my hand from the mouse. Of course, I would add this function to my customizable toolbar.

    Now, this is no longer available, and I have to lift my hand off the mouse and go to the keyboard to…

  8. Turn off the f**ing bookmark and tools pane as default. I hate this st. Takes 2/3 of my screen. Every f**ing time. I just want to view a PDF.

  9. Allow adobe acrobat to default to last settings. I use pan and rectangle fill for highlighting when reviewing drawings but the toolbar always defaults back to Select instead of pan, and Draw instead of rectangle. There used to be an option to "Make handtool the default tool". That is now gone. Why doesn't Adobe just default to your last settings across the board?

  10. "Get inspired by curated PDF Spaces" on the "Recent" page causes visual clutter (annoyance) and lag (a usability issue). Please—at minimum—add an option to remove it from this page.

    Annoyance: I use Adobe PDF for specific document-centric tasks. I don't want to receive blog advertisements in every corner of my productivity workspace... it honestly just becomes a blind spot, and mentally turns the entire "Recent" page into useless visual clutter. If I really want to see PDF Spaces, I'll click on the links in the sidebar.

    Usability: the lag causes Adobe to open, close, and resize slowly. It's noticeable and…

  11. Please. You guys gotta stop with the popups. Adobe used to be pro tools, and now every time I have to open Acrobat there are 3 different popups or blinking things saying to try something A.I. or try a useless new tool. Please.

  12. If I change the Simulation Preview profile in the Output Preview panel, it used to be that I would see my color simulated as if it printed/displayed in the other environment. Now, however, it's actually changing the color values to keep the same appearance. This is a bad idea. We need a way to turn this off or at least toggle it.

    I'm currently seeing this behavior in the 2024 version. I'm not sure with which version this changed.

  13. Problem

    In der aktuellen 64-Bit-Version von Acrobat ist die Mindestbreite des Programmfensters sehr gross. Dadurch kann ich nicht mehr als zwei PDFs nebeneinander sinnvoll anzeigen. Für Arbeitsabläufe mit 3–4 Dokumenten parallel ist das eine klare Einschränkung der Arbeitsfläche.

    Vorschlag (Feature-Request)
    Bitte führt einen «Kompaktmodus» bzw. eine Option zur Reduktion der Mindestbreite ein. Idealerweise als Voreinstellung (z. B. «Fensterbreite kompakt») oder via Umschalter, der die linken/rechten Paneele schlanker macht bzw. komplett ausblendet.

    Nutzen
    • Effizienterer Vergleich mehrerer Dokumente.
    • Bessere Nutzung von grossen/Ultra-Wide-Displays.
    • Schont Workflows, die bis anhin mit 3–4 PDFs nebeneinander gearbeitet haben.

    Workarounds ausprobiert
    Seitenleisten einklappen, mehrere Fenster…

  15. I use Adobe to open up to hundreds of pdf files every day and the bookmarks menu keeps popping up every time i have closed the viewer window.
    I have gone in to Preferences -> Documents and turned on "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" but it doesent work.
    This is very annoying because i never use bookmarks.

  17. When I go to look at the Recent Files list, there are multiple issues.
    Firstly, see attached image, the files are not listed in order based on the last opened date.
    Secondly, in Thumbnail view there is a checkbox titled 'Sorted by Opened'. When this box is checked, instead of sorting the files are all selected.
    Thirdly, in List View selecting one or more files shows a checkbox, but it it not checked.
    I consider all the above items to be bugs with the Recent Files User Interface.
    Note 1: Using the Open Recent File menu, the recent files are…

  19. I’m very tired of searching for all my PDF receipts and proformas across multiple WhatsApp chats. I spent 30 minutes on this, which is extremely frustrating.

    During use, your software suddenly stops responding without any clear reason. After restarting the application, all previously opened tabs are lost.

    Please fix this issue and add functionality that restores the same tabs after a crash or restart, similar to how browsers like Chrome or Edge work. Currently, after every crash, I have to search for all my PDFs and open them again from scratch.

    I honestly don’t understand why a paid application from…

  20. When I open up Adobe Acrobat, I get spammed with numerous popup windows that immediately show up when I start the app. The activity I was going to do gets interrupted, and I get mad, and all of a sudden I'm sending this feedback to Adobe, before even finishing said activity I was in the midst of completing.

    Please do not show many popus at the start showing any X Y Z feature. Maybe WAIT a little, have the popup appear a little later, when I am already using the app.
