1. Selective editing of pdfs

   I sometimes need to selectively edit a portion of a pdf, but when I click on Edit PDF, the OCR process messes up the format, or changes fonts to the point that it would be virtually impossible to recreate the "messed up" portion of the PDF. I realize that this is very likely due to the fact that the document was not originally created in Acrobat, but was probably scanned or converted from a document created from, say, MS Word, or similar program. But, as a former programmer, I think that it would be possible ... i.e., to selectively choose only a portion of a document to undergo the OCR process. I could be wrong, as I don't technically know how OCR engines work.

   Anyway, adding selective editing of text (or, for that matter, an image) would be a GREAT feature!

   Thanks for your consideration.

2. Give an option to loop presentations. At file level - not program level.

   Currently, the only way to make a PDF presentation loop automatically is to check an option in Acrobat's full screen settings, at program level. This means that when im collaborating, I need to send the file along with instructions on how change their program settings to get the file to work correctly. This setting should be a file level. I can't be the only one that needs this...

4. turn pages in crop dialogue

   when I open the crop dialogue I want to turn pages to see what happens to other pages after crop is done but there is no such option and I can only know this only after the cropping is done. If it gone wrong in some pages I have to Ctrl+z and cop again while i'm guessing the future output!

5. Frustration with using Acrobat Pro - print newbie

   So I had complained on Twitter about what it was like to use Acrobat Pro for production, and the Adobe asked for my feedback. I’ll try to give you some here.

   My background is as a motion designer (for over 30 years) so I’m very familiar with photoshop, illustrator, after effects , 3D programs, etc. not really a print guy, but am helping out with a non-profit here in Athens, Ga.

   What I’ve been doing is checking (and fixing) ads that come in for this non-profit’s publications. They usually arrive as PDFs, some image-based, some vector, some hybrid. The problems I encounter are usually because of their clients inability to follow instructions. There are a lot of problems with ads being the wrong size, or being needlessly complex with too many clipping masks and the like, making it hard to dig into a file to fix things. Some of them have weird old-school crop marks or registration marks, or other needless nonsense.

   When I go to “editPdf” I find it needlessly complicated to crop, or enlarge artboards. The workflow appears to be to eyeball the initial crop rectangle (inaccurately). Then hit enter to call up the dialog box where you’re expected to enter offsets in text fields for top, bottom, left, and right in an attempt to achieve the crop area you want.

   Let’s say I want the ad to be cropped to 4.625 x 10 inches. I have to fudge each of these 4 textfields to reach the number I want. Why can’t I just enter what size I want, and maybe numerically enter an offset to the document bounds to position this frame? Why can’t I see a better representation of what I’m doing?

   Also, why can’t I crop an image larger? Using those document size fields at the bottom of the dialog box is needlessly redundant.

   My other gripe is how hard (or impossible, in some cases) it is to dig down into several layers of clipping paths in order to manipulate an object (a path, an image). There’s no layer browser like in illustrator, photoshop, etc. You can manually (no numeric feedback) crop photos smaller, but not larger (increasing the size of its clipping mask).

   Frustrating. Can’t help but think there should be better tools to edit PDFs, especially from Adobe.

9. font replaced with

11. One Incorrect letter is transposed

    I scanned a document into PDF format. I am editing the document. The editing process behaves fine with the exception of the letter "o" being replaced by the letter "p". This is the only issue. No other letters are transposed. I am a CC subscriber running Windows 10 64-bit pro

12. Menu/Tools items changing

    Every single week I open up a pdf to edit it and all of my tools are rearranged or removed from the tool bar on the right. I edit pdfs every day and my arrangement only lasts a few days before it suddenly resets. This is super annoying and I would like to know how to get it to stop doing that. I need Organize Pages, Edit PDF and Stamp in the order I have them now, in a few days all of these will be rearranged and Stamp will be removed. I then have to go back into More tools and rearrange them again. I would prefer to not have to do this each week.

14. Better editing Acrobat Pro DC

    I must admit I find the Acrobat editing features terrible. Why not have an "Edit" that allows editing of text and fields, instead Edit PDF and Edit Form. When I try to move a small field (radio button), 90% of the time I end up resizing it, a better targeted way without letting go of the mouse to indicate what I want to do (finding the sweet spot for cross hair or resize should be so difficult or at least have a right click). Why does it have to be so difficult to move an element (text or field) from one page to another. Why can't I be in an edit mode, select elements text or fields and be able to move all the selected items like a single object and across pages if necessary... the way most visual editors work.

16. GOMS efficency in reviewing documents

    I do a lot of reviewing of documents (I'm a lecturer in a college). In the old version of acrobat, I could (for example) select text and delete using the keyboard. Now I have to select text, move to the mouse, hit the right key, and select the menu item 'strikethrough'. This is a much more extensive interaction that takes a lot of extra time when you have a 200 page 1st draft thesis in front of you for example, that might need 20 such interactions per page. GOMs theory backs that me up here. Am I missing something: is there a way to unlock the old interaction mechanism (I'm on Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017), because its not just strikethrough: replacing text used be a whole lot less interaction too? Id not, can I suggest you go back to the old less-GUI-but-much-more-effective approach?

20. Allow bookmarks to control pages in the document

    I use bookmarks to store documents similar to how they would be stored in a file cabinet. Occasionally, I need to move the pages withing the document which requires two stepsl, (1) move the pages; (2) move the bookmark. I suggest allowing pages to be associated with a bookmark. Once the association is made between pages and a bookmark, then when you move the bookmark to a new location, the pages would move with it. I would then extend this feature to allow bookmarks to be dragged and dropped between files.
