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

  2. 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.

  3. It is critical to have the opportunity to install Reader and Acrobat on the same computer. What moron decided to limit installing one or the other???

    Imagine you're a forms designer for the US Government IRS department where hundreds of PDF forms are hosted on the .gov web site. Each and every form needs to be tested to work properly in Adobe Reader before deploying the forms.

    Or imagine the poor forms designer who creates forms for clients. You can't expect people to purchase two computers and running a virtual mode is just a pain when one has to go…

  4. this.getField("FormField").setFocus();
    This JavaScript is now broken as there is some api that loads in the background that steals the form focus one or two seconds after the form loads.
    It could be the uservoice feedback button as this loads at the same time that the form focus is stolen from the form.

  5. I've lost the ability lately to scroll the contents via the mouse scroll wheel of the Fields tab of the Prepare a form part of the program. Scrolling works properly in other tabs and dialog boxes though. I started experiencing it since the latest patch.

  6. Now we have to change the tools to 'Prepare a form', when copying a fillable fields from an older form to the new form. This has meant turning off the auto function for the fillable fields!
    Turning off the auto fillable fields function was OK. But now I have do an extra step to copy to a blank fillable PDF.
    Would prefer to be able to copy and paste, and then progress with making rest of the PDF fillable.

  12. 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…

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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…

  16. 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…

  17. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
