1. Request to Add Autoplayable Animated GIFs to PDFs

   PDFs are traditionally considered static documents that offer consistency between printed and on-screen outputs. However, this creates an inherent limitation in the utility of portable documents. Consider the old static landing pages of Web 1.0; minimal interactivity and stylization eventually gave way to dynamic webpages in Web 2.0. Much in the same way, “Dynamic PDFs” have the potential to help document creators grow and communicate their thoughts more efficiently. Two specific use cases are outlined below:

   a) In Book Publishing

   A writer would like to convert their Word document into a digital book with dynamic art; thanks to Adobe, this could be done through autoplay animated GIFs with no on-screen controllers—the result being a moving environment that captures readers’ imagination and contributes to the overall ambience of the product. Consequentially, this also means an improved use-case for Adobe's software in the e-book market (specifically, via mobile phones, on which screen sizes continue to grow and portable documents can presently be read without downloading any additional apps versus EPUBS, which require middlemen applications just to open). By providing greater utility to independent and industry-partnered writers in a way that capitalizes on the processing power of mobile phones versus Kindle products and other e-reader devices, Adobe and its users can greatly benefit from autoplayable (i.e. no control bar and playing on loop) animated GIF support for its documents.

   b) In Manufacturing

   A company selling machinery would like to create an operating manual as a PDF, however, instructions are difficult to provide with words and static images alone. An insertable animated GIF, this time potentially with an on-screen controller, would provide readers with a visual aid contained within the manual itself (GIF inserts would inherently use up less space in the document than a .mov). Meanwhile, an option to select “frames” from the video could be used to guarantee relative consistency between digital and printed versions of the document.

   This would probably be one of the easier features to implement and would be beneficial for both Adobe and document creators.

2. Office Integration Broken after Applying Update

   Yesterday I applied updates to both Acrobat Pro DC and Office on macOS 11.6.2, so I'm not sure whether is regression was caused by Office or Acrobat.

   Office was updated to version 16.58 (22011201)
   Acrobat was updated to version 2021.011.20039

   Now:

   1. When I launch PowerPoint, I get an error (see attached image): PowerPoint couldn't load the add-in /Users/admin/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content.localized/Startup.localized/PowerPoint/SaveAsAdobePDF.ppam

   Indeed: the SaveAsAdobePDF.ppam file no longer exists.

   1. Word no longer contains the Acrobat add-in in the ribbon. If I open User Content.localized/Startup.localized/Word/linkCreation.dotm and enable macros when prompted, the Acrobat add-in loads into that document, but that's it. It does not load into any other documents.

3. BUG : Acrobat / AcrobatPDF Maker - Word - Gradient (Circular) - Pattern & Representation

   When using Microsoft Word & PDFMaker:

   Circular gradients do not have the expected gradient pattern. They have a STAR shaped gradient pattern.

   This star shaped gradient pattern is more apparent as the shape that has a gradient fill becomes SMALLER.

   Also, Acrobat stores these shapes and fills as a Bitmap image representation, so they are not Vector objects as expected, so they do not regenerate with scaleing.
   Other PDF software, e.g. FoxIt PDF Editor, does not have this gradient pattern problem. Also it stores the shapes and gradients correctly as a Vector object.

   [Note: Other unexpected patterns, may occur with other gradient styles apart from Circular]

   ATTACHED are sample files that show this issue (.PDF, .DOC.)

   [ Tested with WORD 2016 ]

4. Create PDF from multiple PDF files

   When I create a binder Pdf from different pdf files, I cannot save the binder. It remains just stuck on the save window and nothing happens. How can this be solved? There are sites which only allow uploading of a single file, thus you need to be able to combine more files into one. Thanks for your prompt support.

5. Text becomes corrupted when combining PDF documents

   Text becomes corrupted when combining PDF documents.
   I've seen many reports here stating the same problem but have been closed.
   
   My text in my documents became corrupted when I combined a 141pg PDF full of drawings.
   I performed the same operation in Nitro 10 - no problems whatsoever!

7. PDF Tables are not tagged correctly: #1 Table Editor

   1 of several problems in how PDF Maker (and InDesign's export to PDF utility) tag PDFs.

   In Table Editor, the editor's cell markers (bright pink lines) do not align with the actual <TD> data cells. This makes it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to correct a cell's tag.

   Most commonly seen in complex tables with merged cells in the column and row headers. See screen capture.

   Also see this blog post:
   https://www.pubcom.com/blog/2020_04-05/ACROBAT_tableeditor.shtml

   EXPECTED RESULT:
   Table Editor's cell outlines should match the actual cells.

8. Embed pdfs as clickable objects within pdf that work when viewed in any pdf reader e.g. browser

   Embed pdfs as clickable objects within pdf that work when viewed in any pdf reader e.g. browser. So can add pdf to word and then share and people can click on the embedded pdf to read it. But if I save the Word doc as pdf the embedded objects cease to be clickable. Annoying. And support's option of adding files into the pdf doesn't help as doesn't work with people who use browser as pdf reader.

9. Preference Settings for Initial View

   I just purchased a brand new Dell with "supposedly" current version of Adobe Acrobat.

   I learn today that the version installed by Dell does not include the global preference setting to set file name instead of document title.

   This is EXTREMELY frustrating lack of a basic setting. Why would anyone think that the user's preferred name for a document is less relevant than where ever it came from.

   I can have hundreds of documents that need to be submitted in very short periods of time and now I have to go in and change each and every one to show the file name in order to differentiate it from all the others.

   I see in responses to other similar bug reports that this issue is supposedly fixed ....yet the version I just purchase (May 2021), does not have this feature.

   Please tell me you have a patch/or something i can easily get to fix this. My version code is 2020.001.30025

10. Merge odd- and even-numbered scanned pages into a single document in the correct order

    When scanning a double-sided document in a non-duplex scanner, you end up with two separate PDFs - one for the odd-numbered pages and one for the even-numbered pages. Combining them in Acrobat Pro creates a single document with the pages in the order "1-3-5-7-....2-4-6-8-...", meaning that we have to manually move all of the pages into the correct order, which is not feasible for hundred-page long documents. We need a 'combine' function that automatically interleaves the pages so that they end up in the order "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-..".

    This option must be saved individually for each PDF right now.

12. Acrobat saves prior version of file exported from Indesign and ignores subsequent version

    This is a horrendous bug that I can recreate umpteen times. If a file is exported from Indesign to Acrobat, and then the Indesign file is edited and re-exported to Acrobat, if you try to save the revised version in Acrobat, Acrobat saves the original version (which I presume it holds in memory) and ignores the revised version. The only fix I have found is to close Indesign and Acrobat and start again - this seems to clear the prior version from Acrobat. This is really dangerous for users and immensely inconvenient. Adobe please fix asap.

16. Sorting when Merging Components of Portfolio to a Single PDF

    Right now, if I create a Portfolio using emails from outlook, I can sort the components by the email date so that they are sorted from earliest received to latest received. However when I open the portfolio, sort it, and select File > Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF > Add Open Files, the components of the Portfolio are sorted alphabetically instead of by the date as I have them displayed in the portfolio view panel. This means that I have to individually sort each component by date using the organize pages option before I can actually complete the merge. This is INSANELY annoying and should be fixed.

19. Combining converted excel file to existing pdf

    I often convert excel files and combine with an existing pdf. I am switching to acrobat pro from omnipage. With omnipage, I would convert my selected worksheets (in a process very similar to acrobat pro), but when i would choose a file name, I would choose the existing file I wanted to combine with and it would give me the option to replace that file or combine to it in the order i wanted (beginning, end, middle). Adobe pro just gives me the option to replace.

    It is my understanding the my only options with acrobat pro are to open the target pdf and use the insert file option in the organize pages tool which requires me to know the sheet numbers in the excel file that I want to combine (I have over 35 sheets, so that's not practical) or create a separate pdf from the excel file and then combine them and delete the old pdf(s).

    It would be great if acrobat pro had the feature i mentioned like omnipage.

    Thanks!
