  1. When a form is made with dropdown, It needs the option to easily save as a flattened pdf, so the recipient doesn't see the dropdown options.

  3. Prepare Forms has always had a 'Button' tool, which could have simple actions applied to it [eg. reset form, submit form]. I eventually found it in the 'Rich Media' tools, but there is no longer an option to assign actions. This is a fundamental function of preparing forms in Acrobat. Please put it back in the Prepare Forms tools and even if it's going to stay in the Rich Media tools – what's the point of having buttons that don't DO anything?

  4. In version 2021.001.20138 it's impossible to open XFA-based forms (sample attached).

    1. Open any XFA form.
    2. All you get is an modal message "No error". When you click [OK] then you'll see the "Please wait …" shell PDF of the XFA form, which is generally only shown by PDF viewer that don't support XFA.
    3. Tested on Windows 10
    4. Display contens of dynamic XFA form
    5. Nonsense error message "No error." and display of shell PDF.

    The problem is the same in Acrobat Reader DC.

  5. We created a PDF form with headers. The data that the users enter in the header fields are not getting propagated to the header on the other pages.
    We are able to see that the headers work fine when viewed/edited through EDGE browser & Chrome browsers. Screenshots of these are attached below.

  7. Adobe Customer Care recommended I post the request here. It might not be a problem with Acrobat per se, but a lot of people seem to have the same problem. Standard Python libraries for automating the filling of fields work fine--when the pdf is opened with some other viewers. But in Acrobat the field content does not display until the field is clicked. Marked checkboxes are also not displaying. The issue is explained partly at the links below, but solutions do not seem to be reliable:

  10. When creating a form that has many field that need to be formatted as "Number" I'd like to be able to select many fields at once and apply the number format property. I cannot do that now and it requires a lot of extra steps.

  11. https://github.com/adobe/pdf-embed-api-samples is basically UNUSABLE.....when you have two checkboxes ( yes and no ) ... you give them both the same name and have different 'export' values so they act like radio buttons...check one, the other un-checks....however, in this API, when you check one....all checkboxes with the same name also check.....UNUSABLE....how did this get by QA?

  14. I'm editing 2 different PDF forms, last years an internal PDF form created from external source pdf and this years external source PDF with changes converted to a PDF form.

    1. I can't open the 2 forms in separate instances of PDF form editor, or at least it is not ready apparent on how to do this.
    2. Being that I'm unable to open the forms in 2 separate instances, I open both PDFs in same instance and pull one of the tabs to another monitor. 2a. Each time I click on the properties menu item, the dialog box is shared by…

  15. Adobe Prepare forms should be able to read the fields created in Microsoft Word using the developer tool for content controls. Currently Adobe prepare form does not recognize the fields from a developed Word document and this prevents creating a fillable form as advertised for the current Adobe Pro DC product.

  17. Adobe should have a selection of basic template similar to those Microsoft has (or had). Suggestions include basic business forms, cards, and calendars. I thought Adobe already had these but was told by a chat person that you do not. They said I needed to make my own. Thanks for considering this.

  19. I need to send in CMS-1500 forms on a regular basis. I would like a template to be able to do this. The only thing that has to change on the form are some of the dates and payment amounts. Can I use a template, fill in some of the fields, send to sign and then recover the template for the next use.

  20. Please allow us to make our own 'inner margins' for textboxes when we create fillable PDF forms... the automatic margins you've set inside the textbox option are not useful and deletes our ability to collect as much information as possible on our forms... please stop 'dumbing down' your product. :) thank you
