1. [BUG] Filled form-field contents only visible after clicking into the form-field when receiving a filled out form from Mac Users

   When a docx is saved as a PDF (by Microsoft Word 2019 MSO (16.0.12624.20348) 64bit) and form-fields are added in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2020.006.20042, and the resulting PDF with formfields is then filled out and saved using Preview.app 2020.006.20042 on a Mac, the resulting PDF hides the filled out content of form-fields. Clicking into the filled form field reveals the contents. The PDF renders fine in other PDF viewer implementations.

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. Create an empty word document and save it as a PDF.
   2. Open the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and add a form field
   3. Save the PDF and open it with Preview.app
   4. Fill out the form field and save the changes
   5. Open the saved document with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

   Result: Formfield contents are hidden behind a blue screen in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC; Other PDF viewers render this correctly, see attached screenshot from Chrome.

   Expected results: Contents of the filled form fields are immidiately readable.

   Attached files:
   - invisible: screenshot of filled out PDF before clicking into the form field
   - visible: screenshot of the filled out PDF after clicking into the form field
   - test-pdf-formfield: Created PDF with formfield
   - test-pdf-formfield-filled: Filled PDF showing display errors in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC
   - Preview.app screenshot of the filled PDF
   - chrome-rendering.jpg: Screenshot of the PDF rendered in chrome

2. BUG: Form Fields Disappear, Can't Modify Name or Tooltip

   Fields become "ghost fields"; they still show up in the sidebar on the right and you can still open their properties. However, you cannot select the form field and type text in it. You also can't change the properties, like name and tooltip fields; when you try to, and click away from the field you just changed, they revert back with no notification. This happens every time I open this file in a different application, such as an Accessibility plug-in called CommonLook, and has happened with other files too. Fixing tags in the plug-in causes forms to break in Acrobat, which means I have to go back and fix the form fields in Acrobat, which messes up the tags and tag order again... etc. etc.

3. The Entire Adobe Acrobat Product need a full rework. To keep up with the competition you better rework the who GUI.

   Overall Acrobat is horrible non intutitive a simple google search and you will see I am not the only one that thinks this. I would suggest you work with NON-PROGRAMING design and flow oriented people to fix the issue with Adobe Acrobat otherwise it will be a thing of the past since many companies like ZOHO, Microsoft and Google are doing the work better thought the demand in the business world is PDF because you have marketed it so...I do not believe Adobe will be able to hold up this software as people are innovating their software at light speeds faster than adobe. Adobe personally to me is one of the best suites out there money can buy. Acrobat. Its the beginning of a long nightmare.

5. Acrobat Pro DC Form edit mode selection is BROKEN

   In form edit mode, using the Select Object Tool. When selecting a column of form objects (e.g. check boxes) ALL non form objects are selected, and the tool reverts to the Edit too. This renders it impossible to perform actions on the form objects alone

   In the file, try and select a column of checkboxes to match the behaviour.

   This worked fine before the last update, currently on 2019.021.20047

   I would suggest removing the Edit tool from the Form Edit mode, it is not necessary. It is available in the PDF Edit mode.

   When I want to work on form objects, that is all I want to work on. Not other non-form objects.

6. Form data doesn't print from Acrobat Forms (AcroForm)

   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.

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/Acrobat/W9-s/m-p/10668894#M222034

   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).

7. Checkmark Symbol needed for Dropdown form

   Recent changes at work require a dropdown list that includes the option to select a "Checkmark", ie Wingdings Unicode 252 or similar. I have been unable to add a checkmark to my Options > Item List. Cut/paste results in a different symbol than desired.
   
   Is this option already available for Acrobat Pro DC, (if so, how?), or is this a new request?
   Kindest regards - Sam

9. Trying to Change Default Font from Minion Pro to Times New Roman or Arial

   I have been waiting forever to have the Adobe Pro XI development team change the default font from Minion Pro (no one uses Minion Pro) to Times New Roman or Arial (the most common). The specific problem for me is that my company name starts with a J. The J in Minion Pro looks like an I. That is causing all sorts of problems. The letter J in Times New Roman and Arial looks like a J. Why do we hav to beg to get this changed? It made no sense to have it set to Minion Pro default anyway.

11. Feature request: update to latest ECMAScript 2019 from current decade old JavaScript 1.8

    There has been two major releases since Acrobat 10, yet there has been no update to the JavaScript engine to support newer version of JavaScript since version 1.8 that came with version 10 of Acrobat, as stated on the latest Acrobat DC JS API reference. Please update the decade-old-JavaScript 1.8 to the latest ECMAScript 2019 in next major release of Acrobat. Thank you for your consideration.

12. Add transparency to color choices for check box line and fill

    Sometimes I already have an underlying form in use (one that has check boxes) that I want to make fillable. Since the form already has check boxes, when I add a check box using Prepare Form, the borders can look chunky if I don't get the edges perfectly aligned. Making the fill and line transparent will still fill my underlying check box (part of the form design) but won't try to add a new box overlay.

17. livecycle crashes on preview

    Adobe Livecycle ES 4 crashes repeatingly after opening the preview screen. It's irritating. I see a lot of ad hoc repair items in this blog by the Adobe Support team (outsourced). There are a lot of issues in this case. When will Adobe really do something about it.

    Please let's have a call. In the early days Adobe issues will be solved. Since it's outsources the issues are increasing huge in my opinion.

18. BUG - can't edit fields in a form

    I open a pdf and go to tools > prepare form> open then select a form.

    As soon as I click on 'add a field' or an existing field, a stopwatch icon appears and Adobe closes. So I can't edit a form which makes a fillable pdf form impossible. Given the fee I pay every month I am NOT happy.

    Yes I have the most current version, Yes I tried the 'repair Adobe' option.

    However, that option appears to not exist any more?

20. 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.
