  1. Since Friday, November 17th, 2017, we cannot open adobe acrobat form documents that contains digital signature fields. When we try to open the document, Adobe Acrobat application is not responding. First, I thought it is about verifying the digital signatures but even the unsigned form cannot be open. Also same document that digitally signed before cannot be open.

    I created this form using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC in April 2017. It was working fine until November 17th, 2017. All our users have same problem.

  2. It is a Bug, not an idea.

    When trying to insert a calculation into a form field to show the new date (also with other simple calculations), for example

    var f = this.getField("Heute");
    f.value = util.printd("d.m.yyyy",new Date());

    I can insert it, but when clicking OK the field is empty and nothing calculates.

    There seems to be an error, snce this has worked befor – or I am doing it wrong, but I cannot see how.

    Any ideas?

    Closing this for now until we have further info on the request.

  4. I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI. I used to use Adobe Acrobat X, and encountered the same problem.

    I create some REALLY lengthy forms in Word. I apply a style with square bullets to text in Word to create a checkbox list. Then I convert the file to PDF, and then convert the PDF to a form. Every line has the same Word style with the same square symbol for its bullet, so there's nothing about the way I'm applying the formatting that's inconsistent.

    I've learned from trial and error that square bullets only convert to checkboxes if the font is…

    The form field detection algorithm is not perfect, and only provides a good starting point.
    You will require manual work to create fields that are not detected by Acrobat

    As a workaround, you could try inserting “Square shape” instead of bullets.
    Click Insert, click Shapes, select a shape, and then click and drag to draw the shape.

    I hope this work for you.

  5. I'm unable to type in any text box because all fields are being recognized as signature fields. Sometimes the program will briefly recognize it as a text field right at startup for a second, the then program flickers as if it's finished loading and all fields are recognized as form fields. The fields are titled appropriately (highlighted text in screenshot), none of the fields are titled 'signature'. This started mid-morning after using the forms correctly a few times. I since restarted the app and my computer, and checked for updates, with no help.

  6. Template for adding form elements that are identical for various pages. Feature would allow you to select from a custom list of pre-saved field sets (from another document you had created previously).

    I make editable PDFs and need to have the same style of footer for sell sheets, and often the same fonts, colors and size. For event flyers, this is also an identical item. For now, I just copy and paste fields from another editable document or replace the page behind the fields. Would be nice to save this inside of Acrobat to have in both CC library or…

  7. On the new interface after setting up prefill fields and then going to request signatures. All of those fields set for prefill will be assigned to the recepient instead showing as prefill.

    Prefill fields work correctly on the old interface. On the old interface after requesting signatures the prefill fields show as prefill.

  8. Since the last update (2023.008.20533) the buttons no longer work.
    If you click on them, a security warning appears. If you allow them, this message appears:
    "This pdf cannot be displayed in adobe or reader and the application is now terminated"

    Another, locally stored pdf should actually be called up.

  9. Please enable the export of images along with text from a "_Response.pdf" file. It now only exports text to .csv files.

    Our client will have ~10,000 fillable forms annually that come back with both text filled in, and images attached.

    Ideally, the mix of text and images could be exported to an Alteryx database, which can contain text, images, and spatial objects. Extension .yxdb.

    Less ideally, any method of extracting the images with a link to the text would be great. Like saving the images in jpg or png format to a local directory, and the text file would contain…

  10. When a date field in a PDF form is set to "read only" and the user tabs or clicks into the box and presses the down arrow, the calendar picker still pops up and allows the user to select a new date. This was tested by setting the field to "read only" via signature, and by setting it manually as well.

    Tested in both Windows and Mac environment on the latest versions of reader and pro.

    Expected result would be that the field remains completely uneditable when setting to read only.

    Observed result when following the steps outlined above is…

  11. HDFC Securities Ltd generates reports in PDF form. Those PDF files dont open at my end where I have Acrobat Reader ver 2023.008.20421. When I checked with their technical team, they confirm that those files open seamlessly on Reader XI. Can you please confirm whether it's an issue of backward compatibility with latest Acrobat reader or some issues that need to be fixed at HDFC Securities Ltd end.

  13. Acrobat take so long to delete form fields when multiple fields are selected. It depends on how many form fields are selected across opened Documents. In other words, if you have an opened document with 2 or 3 form fields selected while you are deleting form fields on a different one (another one), it will take 5 to 10 seconds to delete desired form fields (as invoked and desired by user to delete form fields on a document). On a different scenario if an open Document has 40 Form Fields selected while deleting Form Fields on a different opened document…

  14. Maybe this is recent because I've been making fillable pdfs for years, but I have an issue where I'm adding several fields, like text or checkboxes, I can't modify those new fields because Prepare Form has my cursor stuck making new fields. It seems like I have to exit out of Prepare Form completely and then go back into it just to modify an existing field. The easiest option would be for users to just click again on the selected "Add Form Components" section for that option to be deselected, returning the cursor back to it's initial setting.

  15. I highlighted pertinent portions of over 15 legal cases for a research assignment. Adobe went through an update and deleted all of my highlights, costing me over 50 hours of work on a writing assignment that's due in five days. My entire Thanksgiving will now be spent re-researching and re-reading for every waking minute. I've tried every method on google to recover the highlights. Nothing.

  18. When using the Find Text Tool, it doesn't recognize symbols anymore (e.g. : ; #), and for entertainers, actors, editors, etc, reading a script on PDF, this is a huge issue because that symbol is the only differentiating factor in looking through 100s of pages of dialogue (e.g. "Bill was running to the scene" vs "Bill: Hi, everyone!"). Now people have to spend hours going through a script instead of minutes.

  20. When filling out a PDF form in Hebrew it crashes.

    The good news is that I found a fix: If I change the first field in the form to right to left (it is left to right by default) It does not crash anymore.
