   Thank you for reporting this.
   We need more information on steps to be able to reproduce this issue.

   Please share the version of acrobat you are using. You can do so using the link -helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/identify-product..

   And also share the test PDF file using forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-7161 for us to investigate further.

3. copy field to new document

   Copy & Paste of a field - Within a document works as expected - the formatting, naming of the field is consistent. However if you copy paste into a different document, the field properties seem to reset (if this was correct, why would you copy/paste & not just insert a new field) - expected behaviour would be to keep same size/format/code/name & position(if possible, if not centred on screen).

   Only noted work-around, is to copy existing page into new document, copy/paste field from one page to another & then deleted the inserted page. - Comment elsewhere requests a MS Office style 'format painter' - this too would be a good alternative (or like the eyedropper tool in Illustrator)

4. Option to unlink form fields when copying fields or complete page

   When copying form fields, Acrobat automatically makes identical copies. If I copy a page and fill in the first page, the fields on the second page are automatically filled out with the same info. The only way to couteract this without having java scripting knowledge is to manually change the name of every field. This is frustrating when you have 100 fields that need to be identical on 20 pages, but filled out with different info. This should be a standard option. Preferrably while copying, acrobat could ask if you want the new copies linked with the originals or not.

7. Place image ability in fillable save-enabled PDF form via READER, not edit via Pro

   Place image (click field, browse for image, image selected, fit with options to Fit Proportional to Image and Fit proportional to frame) in fillable, save-enabled PDF form via READER, not edit via Pro. This is to allow end users to place a logo in a standardized form (sponsorships, partnerships, etc). To limit this to Pro as a layout option only is such a waste.

10. Ability to justify text boxes and form fields to each other -aligned top/right/left/bottom

    Currently there is no easy way to create a form from scratch with numerous lines and fields. It is easier to create it in Word and then export it, but then there are issues with editing and aligning field boxes to the text. Please make a feature to snap the text boxes to field boxes so they line up perfectly and quickly.

    You don’t need to edit the form to enter the date. Simply click on the field and start typing.

13. PDF forms saved with Reader Extended → Enable More Tools (form fill-in & save) should editable!

    Whenever I use "File → Save as Other → Reader Extended PDF → Enable More Tools (Includes form fill-in & save)" to save my form. The form in the resulting file cannot be edited. Why? This effectively causes me to have to maintain three copies of my PDF forms: One with no form controls, one converted to a form, and one with More Tools enabled.

14. exportAsFDF: values are exported from fields not in the array

    Steps to reproduce the issue: Create an exportAsFDF script in a privileged context in a folder level script. Specify an array of some but not every child field of a non-terminal field name using the aFields parameter with exportAsFDF. Next, employ ALL child fields of that multi-field set a pdf, not just the fields in the array, and enter values in every field in the family. Call the script from the pdf to export and save the fdf file. Reset the fields in the pdf to a blank state. Import the fdf file to that pdf.

    Environment: Acrobat Pro DC; Mac OS High Sierra

    Expected result: only the field names and values of the specific fields in the aFields array should be exported.

    Observed result: child field names and their values from the same non-terminal parent are exported with the array even though they are NOT included in the array.

15. Bug - long dynamically-generated multi-item dropdown field list doesn't scroll the whole way

    Hello,

    In the attached file

    -Select a grade under Grade Level
    -Open up the standards selections under "I am going to learn" under any of the lessons
    -Use the scroll bar to scroll down as far as you can

    I'm developing the document on a Mac OS X system but I have also repro'd the issue on a Windows system.

    Expected Behavior
    I expected the scrolling to go all the way down to the last item on the list.

    Observed behavior
    The scroll only lets you go partway down the list. You can use the arrow keys to continue down the list, but that's not the most elegant solution.

    I'm not the greatest programmer in the world, but I'm fairly confident in my code's stability. The only thing I can think is that it's a bug... somewhere. I'm using Acrobat CC 2018, and the Javascript to change the dropdowns is in the "Grade Level" form field.

18. Partial drop down search giving unexpected results in DC

    I have been discussing an issue on this thread in the support forum: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2445804

    I will outline the issue below again, however.

    I have a drop down that is being populated dynamically: https://i.imgur.com/QKohGq5.png

    Users have the ability to do a partial search of the drop down, to filter down to what they're looking to find: https://i.imgur.com/S0P3T17.png

    However, when selecting one of the options from within the remaining options available, the results are not always as intended. In this case, I will search "Adult B" to choose Adult Brass Dragon. When selecting Adult Brass Dragon, the following script is enacted via the validation section of the drop down properties:

    applyMonster(event.value, 0);

    This should be choosing the option I chose, and passing it through my scripts to fill the rest of the form with information. Nothing else manipulates this drop down, aside from choosing the manual that needs to be chosen beforehand.

    This is what has happened when I selected Adult Black Dragon: https://i.imgur.com/3q7IJ6T.png

    Here is a video clip of what is happening as well: https://vimeo.com/253833882

    I am using Acrobat Pro DC, and Reader DC to test this. A user with XI has confirmed that partial drop down search works fine for him.
