  1. I works paperless. Widows File Explorer allows previews of documents without having to open them. PDF are quicker to view than Word documents. However, PDF documents from emails or the internet now have a Blocked status that prevents them being previewed. This means you have to unblock them all which takes time and they don't become immediately previewable. This is very very frustrating and time consuming.

    I thought i had found a fix at work but it didn't work. I don't seem to have the same options on my personal laptop even though operating systems are the same.

  2. Adobe Acrobat Reader (v 2025.001.21184) constantly pops up notifications to set Acrobat as default application for PDF file DESPITE being already set as default app!! Windows 11 64bit.
    Despite allowing (again!) Acrobat assignment as default app for requested file types, after few days it notifies again to set it despite being already set as default and operating correctly as default application.

  4. Version: 2025.001.21184 | 64 bit
    OS: Windows 11

    Steps to recreate:
    1) open unsigned document.
    2) drag signature to document
    3) banner pops up abruptly ending signature formatting.

    Actual behavior:
    When adding a signature (2), the "help" banner (1) ends signature formatting abruptly and forces the signature to complete. Once the banner pops up I can no longer adjust the size or placement of the signature.

    Expected:
    I should be able to adjust the signature size and position until I manually accept that the signature formatting is correct. The signature should never be forced to complete.

  5. As a whole, Acrobat is an unable piece of ****. It hangs, crashes or malfunctions on PC and Mac, Intel, Silicon and AMD. This last version simply freezes or features like read aloud fail after first use. I would love Acrobat to become abandonware.

  7. I have a laptop display with a window resolution of 1920x1080. Attached to it is an external monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080 at 125% scale and another external monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080 at 100% scale. When the Flattener Preview window appears on the laptop display it appears as a complete popup window. If it is moved to either of the other external screens the window is partially cut off. There are no scroll bar options to access the "missing" parts of the window. It appears to cut off the bottom and right sides of the popup window.…

  8. Once I click on Apply on the Flattener Preview the document is flattened. There is no further need for the Preview window to stay visible. It should close automatically. It should not require the extra step of X-ing out of it.

  9. Allow this preference to be turned off in the Classic (2024) track as it is in the Continuous track to allow PDFs to automatically open in separate windows.

  10. Have the preference option on the continuous track available on the 2024 classic track that allows the "All tools" pane to be hidable across sessions.

  11. This is a bug. This used to work. Around 6 weeks ago, this stopped working. Steps to reproduce: Select Scan & OCR -> In this file -> Pages -> (User enters a page range). Then choose Recognize text. The page range shown in the dialogue box will be ignored and ALL pages will have OCR performed. Platform: Windows. Expected Result: Selected Pages get OCR. Observed Result: All pages get OCR.

  12. Dragging a program window is difficult due to the limited space on the toolbar that can be "grabbed" with the cursor.
    Is it possible to also add to the View->Show/Hide option:
    - a shortcut to help (?),
    - a shortcut to other application offers,
    - a shortcut to log in?

    This applies particularly to working without using multiple monitors and/or multiple documents at once and/or with other applications in parallel.

    In addition, the Windows System->Multitasking->Drag windows option, which allows for arranging windows without the traditional dragging method, is extremely inefficient (for example, due to automatic adjustment to the maximum height,…

  13. When merging two/more fillable forms that contain identical field names (e.g., 'Name' in two distinct form sections) into one document, the information from the first form automatically populates the corresponding fields across all forms. There should be an opt-out from this feature to prevent data duplication when the forms represent different information and still need to be combined in one document.

    • Open the attached "test53.pdf" in Adobe Acrobat.
    • The PDF contains 53 levels of nested Form XObjects (XObjects within XObjects).
    • Beyond a certain depth (52), the nested content does not render at all, even though the PDF is valid according to ISO 32000 (no recursion, only nesting).

    Expected behavior:
    Content should render consistently, as the PDF spec allows arbitrary nesting of Form XObjects.

    Actual behavior:
    Beyond 52 levels of nesting, the PDF viewer skips rendering the content.

    Attached is also a "test52.pdf" file with 52 levels of nested Form XObjects that renders correctly.

  15. I'm operating on a Windows 10 Pro v22H2 64bit machine with 8 GB of RAM; everytime I open a document w/Adobe Acrobat Pro it appears and then crashes and disappears. Usually the second time the document is opened it is stable. Is there a fix for this? Nothing much has changed since this started happening other than designating AA Pro as the preferred app to open pdfs.

  16. Beim Verfassen der Seminararbeit gab es Probleme bei der Suche nach aktueller deutschsprachiger Literatur. Ich benötige einen Experten, der bei der Quellenrecherche und der korrekten Erstellung des Literaturverzeichnisses hilft. Ich suche Unterstützung, um das wissenschaftliche Niveau meiner Arbeit zu erhöhen und die Logik zu prüfen.

  17. I am getting this error message "There was an error while reading a stream" when opening several newly created PDFs today. Older files open fine. I have the latest Adobe reader DC and have tried a reinstall. If I open the files within a browser, either Chrome or Firefox, they open just fine.

  18. When you have multiple documents open, they appear as tabs on the top of the screen. The tabs are really large. When you have a split screen (so sharing Adobe with a different software at the same time on your screen), only one tab shows at a time because the tabs are so large. It makes it very difficult to move between documents. The old version of Acrobat Pro had the tabs smaller so you could more easily navigate between documents at once.

  19. Supposedly, I have Acrobat Reader installed - I honestly can't even tell. That's what the menu has anyway, "About Acrobat Reader". Everywhere else it's just "Adobe Acrobat". I clicked on Share feedback, it took me to this page - "Acrobat for Windows and Mac". But in that long list on the left, there's a separate link/section "Acrobat Reader for Windows and Mac". Like I said, I can't even tell this much, not with any certainty. And then, supposedly, it's "DC", the version that came after 11 (or was it XI?), but then the About section only says 2025.001.21151. I can't…
