Using 13.1. Don't know if this is an Acrobat or an InDesign issue, but recently noticed that if I have text that flows to 2 lines and that has a hyperlink behind it, in Acrobat, the tags show the link as having two Link-OBJR, but they are the reverse of reading order. So if you tab the page, you go from 2nd line of text to first. So,

'Go to

the store'

tabs as if it is 'the store' 'go to'. The underlying link is fine--no issue there--it's the tab order and tag order (tag order perhaps then impacting screen readers/accessibility???).

This is in a single paragraph block, so not an issue of Article content out of order--the system is doing this. I think this is a recent bug (last 4-6 months?) --but whether in how InDesign feeds this to Acrobat or how Acrobat interprets, I don't know. I can manually fix in Acrobat but re-ordering the Link-OBJR tags, but it makes no sense that I should have to do so. Any idea what is going on?

Hi me llamo VS tengo 4 hijos y una vida infeliz si infeliz que porque yo me siento mal .me siento todos los días con miedos el.

Levantar y llevar como sea todo el peso que tengo de premio gritos insultos humillaciónes de mis propios hijos no valoran nada de mis esfuerzos no les importa meterme en problemas me roban lo poco guardo y no me alludan as bsolutamente en nada de los quehaceres

As a graphic design, I use the same few .ai art files per day. duplicated into new files. For over a year, I've been able to select .ai files to upload directly into a image field in art proof form (which is also duplicated and reused over and over) that I created. This is a function that I was able to do hundreds of times over the past year.

Then after running an update to Mac Catalina on 10/31, Acrobat Pro DC no longer allows .ai files (however .eps files are accepted) to be directly uploaded into image fields. The .ai files nor the pdf forms have been changed since before or after the update.

As a workaround, I either have to save out a .jpg of each .ai file, OR add a second extension to the files, <filename>.ai.pdf to get the files to upload. Both of which are tedious extra steps. I would really like to be able to select .ai directly into image fields again.

I've always used Acrobat X Pro with LiveCycle to create my forms. Our forms are extensive so not that easy to create in word and then convert to PDF form so i "free hand" (create New) created all the original forms. Now i'm using Acrobat Pro DC subscription. Create from New does not have the features of LiveCycle so now i'm resorting to having to create the form in word first, then convert it to a PDF form and rebuild the majority of my fields, check boxes, drop down lists, radio buttons because those don't come through. First off this is a waste of time. But here's the real problem. I am creating radio buttons on the form. That's pretty easy but the buttons are too big so i have to resize them. I can't resize the two of them together because it does moves the two radio buttons to a completely different spot on the form - it basically blanks out the top, left, right, bottom settings and moved the buttons all over the page. Of course when i create the buttons, the are added to the very bottom of the field list in the right pane. Well then the user can't tab properly through the form. So i try to move the field up the list (which is doable) but when i put it in the right spot, the program crashes on me. I have to recover the file, in some cases i have to recreate the radio buttons again. Then i save, then i try to move the field into it's proper place, cross my fingers and hope that it actually does the job without crashing again.

After last update, there is a change in how creating form is working. Form editing (creatin) now contain text edit, which is for me higly unwanted feature, since there is no turn on/off. I am editing 30+ fields in once and selecting all of them is impossible. My form has lot of text boxes and while creating pdf, i dont need them to edit anymore. I just want to edit form fields. Once you mouse down or mouse up on any text, it will ruin the multiple select of fields and start editing text. We are using old version becasue of that... which is btw in even in Creative cloud app and you have to download it from adobe website. please, put the old version of this software in creative cloud desktop app and make form and editin text separate things, like it should be.

In Prepare Form, why can't I use the Select Object Tool to select multiple fields with a marquee anymore? I've always used it in the past but every time I use it now, it automatically switches to Edit Text & Images, which I don't want it to do. This change supposed to be an "improvement" in the most recent update of Acrobat DC, but it has made my job both harder and take longer. Evidently, there's no way turn off Edit Text & Images when you're in Prepare Form, so you're just stuck editing fields without using a marquee to select. Adobe broke something that previously worked great. Edit Text & Images should be removed from Prepare form! Or at least have the choice of turning it off.

When adding Radio Buttons on forms, users need options for "Open Square" and "Open Circle" Button Styles. The inside/middle of the button should be transparent, so that users can easily see the text behind their underlying choice. This would simulate users circling a choice with a pencil/marker rather than completely "filling in" the circle or square.

Additionally, it would be nice to be able to change line color and line thickness of the "open circle" or "open square". Currently, users can only change the border color and line thickness of ALL radio buttons, regardless of whether the button is selected by the user. But I don't want a square or circle border around EVERY radio button choice. I just want a square or circle around the selected choice.

Picture number choices: 1 2 3 4 5. The instructions on the form would instruct users to "Circle the number which matches your choice." If the form is printed by users who prefer to complete the form manually with a pencil or pen, the number choices simply show as numbers (with no border) and a user could simply circle their choice. BUT, if filling out the form within Adobe Acrobat (or Reader), the light blue/gray shading appears over each number which was designed as a radio button. When a user selects the number 3, a circle or square is drawn AROUND the 3. And when the completed form is printed, it prints with a circle or square around the number 3. So it looks almost the same as if a user manually circled the 3.

I would hope that this should be an extremely easy idea to implement, which would be likely appreciated by many users.

Printing a filled-in PDF Form (AcroForm, not XFA) is unreliable.

File / Print does not work reliably, regardless of which printer is selected (even PDF Virtual Printer) or the options for comments, etc.

The problem is sporadic.

Several of our clients have had this happen, and there are frequent posts on the Adobe Forums for this problem.

Our testing results:

-- None of the form data prints, but the form skeleton does.

-- Some random form field data prints, but not all of it. Different field data will print each time the form is printed.

-- Certain types of form field data will print, like all of the checkboxes but none of the other fields.

-- Or everything prints as expected (but this is the most rare scenario).

-- Seems to happen once we add the <Form> tags to the PDF, when we turn a PDF into an AcroForm.

-- Also happens if it’s a PDF from InDesign which already has the <Form> tags built into the PDF when it’s made.

The only solution at this time is to print to a graphic.

But this is not a viable solution, especially with government and institutional forms (like the sample forum post today. A W-9 form is required by IRS by all employees and contractors).
