We have an application that generates PDF files using Quick Report library.
Those PDFs cannot be edited in Adobe Acrobat 2020 (Adobe Acrobat has encountered an unknown error) but they can be edited with other PDF tools such as SodaPDF.

I tried all methods listed in this forum but nothing worked.

The only solution is to print the PDF using the 'Adobe Printer' and then edit this file.
It's a simple workaround but quite painful when you have to do it dozens of times per day.

It would be nice if Adobe could provide a fix for an issue that has been happening for years.

I've just started using Adobe Acrobat DC, continuous release. I noticed when editing a document, if I select the drop down list of fonts, all of them show the exact same font type in the list. This is really unhelpful, because I don't know what any will look like.

This leaves me with two options. One, choose a font, see what it looks like, and keep it; or if I don't like it go back, click the drop down list, and re-scroll all the way through to find the next font in line and try that one. If I don't like it, repeat, repeat, repeat.

Or I can look up online and type each font I'm interested in one by one, until I see one I like. Both INCREDIBLY time-consuming and tedious.

How about like MS Word, show what the fonts look like by showing each name in the format of that very font. I think it's a great feature. In fact, it's such a kind of obvious feature, I'm wondering if there's an option in there to turn that on or off. I can't find it in a Google search, anywhere right now.

Steps to reproduce:
Set Protected View to "All files"
Fully Close Acrobat
Open a Portfolio PDF by double clicking on the file.

Environment:
Windows 10 Enterprise version 1909
Adobe Acrobat DC Pro 20.013.20064

Expected result:
Portfolio PDF opens without issue. The "enable all features" button appears at the top and can be clicked. The list of files is shown at the top and the document at the bottom. This is observable in version 20.012.20041

Observed result:
Acrobat opens with both the list of files and the document completely blank. The "enable all features" button appears, but does nothing when clicked and does not go away. On the Home tab, the Recent section is empty.
When Acrobat is opened before the PDF is, the PDF displays properly.
If Protected View is temporarily disabled, the PDF opens as expected.
If Acrobat.dll is replaced with a copy from 20.012.20041, the PDF opens as expected.

Protected View cannot be disabled due to V-79381

I need to be able to protect PDFs on my Mac from editing BUT allow annotations. We have tried taking the following steps...

We saved a Word doc as pdf on Mac, uploaded it to Adobe Pro, in 'allow changes' chose commenting, filling in form fields, and signing existing signature fields.

We then sent the protected pdf to various devices.

Recipients were prompted to enter a password in order to annotate on Samsung Tablet and Ipad.

Surely, allowing annotation while protecting the pdf from editing is much in demand these days, in particular in the education field where students are receiving pdf worksheets and wish to write their answers using annotation tools on their mobile devices.

Over the past several months, we have been having issues with page labeling. We combine single pdf's to one file, change the page labels as needed with new name, save, and when we optimize the file the page labeling changes. So, if I have pages 1-25, page 26 new page label (ie insert1), then the next page shows up as page 26 and not 27 as it was in file before we optimized. We also change pages in the back for Covers, ie C3 and C4. When the file optimizes, the page number switches C4 with C3 and C4 to C3. This has been going on for 3-4 months. Why is saving as optimized file changing the page labels in my file. Please fix.

Please consider combining the Page Number and date format and Page Range Options into the existing Add Header Footer Window or at least a single pop-up, rather than two separate ones. They reduce the efficiency and accuracy with which the tack can be performed. Do you intend to make your software less efficient and error prone?? Because if so you have succeeded!! CONGRATULATIONS!

For example, when I need to add page numbers to 61 sets of numerous pages on the footer, that means according to your current set-up with the pop-up for page number and date format, and the second pop-up for the page range, I have to complete not 63 windows, but 186 pop-up windows so I figure this task takes 3 times as long as it needs to!! WHY?? It seems ridiculous that I have to take extra time to pop open these additional windows each time when I could easily type this information in the existing window. Opening these windows and having the information hidden from view also make the process more prone to error which means more chance of having to redo a set of footers or the ENTIRE file as certain tasks in the header/footer section can't be undone.
