Ability to group checkboxes in a PDF form
The ability to group multiple checkboxes under one name, each with different export values, and retain the ability to select more than one option.
We import/export information from PDF's and our CRM, and there's no way to import checkbox fields because we can't group them.

right click to edit fill in text: underlining, bold, italics, superscript subscript and font
When writing in the fill in portion of the form, I used to be able to right click and underline, bold, italicize, highlight, superscript or subscript my text. I am no longer able to do this and I am super frustrated.
1 votePlease go back to Prepare Forms> edit mode and enable “Allow Rich Text Formating” for the text field
Once done, you should be able to get the formatting options under right click context menu.
I hope this helps.

Dropdown empty default value
if i create form i need to create dropdown where is default empty value and user chose something only if he need it
1 voteBasically, a drop-down field can’t have a completely blank value (unless you set the values using a custom script).
You can add a value that’s a single space, though, or an underscore, or something like “SELECT ITEM” and set it as the default value.

Dynamic menu - Hit or Miss
Edit Menu > Form Options: does not always show when opening a Form PDF. In Acrobat Standard DC it is hit or miss as to if the Edit Menu show the Form Options selection.
What makes the 'dynamic menu' feature sense a pdf form?
1 voteEdit > “Form Options” > is visible (default) in following two cases -
1. A reader extended PDF is opened in Acrobat.
2. A distributed PDF.The menu option is also, available in same session for a non-Reader Extended PDF (or non-distributed) if they are opened with a Reader Extended PDF (and/or Distributed PDF).
That ways the “Edit > Form Option” stays visible until user exit Acrobat application.Please note, Edit > “Form Options” > does not appear when we are creating form from scratch because as an author he/she has the advantage of using Prepare Form Tools.

Bug: Java Script Form Fields
A Java Script Checkbox that makes a field visible or hidden based on the condition is not functioning properly. When first opening the form, the box does nothing. If I click on "Prepare Form" tool and immediately close, the button works as it should. If Adobe is closed and the form is reopened, the checkbox stops working again.

Do NOT delete custom calculation script when another option is clicked
When I have entered a custom calculation script for a form field and accidentally click one of the other options in that tab or accidentally click to the Validate tab, my whole script just disappears, which is infuriating. Why can you not just leave the script there as is, but obviously don't apply it if another option is clicked. Perhaps a user would like to test different Calculation/Validation options without having their work erased. I am so sick of losing hours of work simply because I mis-clicked.

"Show border hover color for fields" interferes with custom form element rendering
If you create custom radio button element in Indesign it will be rendered wrongly on acrobat pro (and reader) if
Preferences >
Forms >
"Show border hover color for fields"is turned on.
Once you turn that setting off, acrobat renderes the form element as expected.
Attached indd, pdf and two screenshots to demonstrate the behaviour

Required fields on creating from in Acrobat DC
I don't want the required fields outlined with a red border when my client opens the form, only when they have completed it if there are any required fields missing. This would seem logical & I cant understand why this isn't already in place?
2 votesYou will need to implement keystroke script for this. You can use the Properties dialog > format > Custom options to use.

RaiseError when receiving "multipart/related" "application/xop+xml" SOAP response
Hello everyone. I have experienced the following situation.
After a synchronous SOAP request, upon receiving a binary encoded, content type "application/xop-xml" response, Adobe Standard generated RaiseError pointing to the Net.SOAP.request() method. If, alternatively, the request was made asynchronously the callback function did not appear to have been invoked. In the latter case though upon exiting Adobe Acrobat, "Adobe Acrobat DC has stopped working" and “An unhandled exception occurred in Acrobat.exe [ some number ]” messages were generated.
There were no such problems if received responses were of content type "application/json" or "text/xml".I am not certain if that a bug…

line spacing
The Line Spacing in Acrobat DC is so much more difficult to work with. Its much harder to complete forms with the set 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 2.0 etc. options. Adobe 9.0 Pro was so much easier to work with. Not all lines are equal. The option to adjust line spacing with by click on the line spacing icon was SO MUCH EASIER. Please consider making this an option again.
