  2. In the "new acrobat" interface, it is now very tedious to add annotations. It is two more clicks than in the old Acrobat (multiply that with thousands of annotations and you see the problem).

    Please add the following functionality (available in "old acrobat"):

    • When you have selected some text, and start typing, it will add the "replace text" annotation.
    • When you place the text marker in the text, and start typing, it will add the "insert text" annotation.

    Also:
    * When you select some text, you get a little contextual toolbar pop-up. Please add a button for the "replace text"…

  3. It would be useful to see the zoom % without having to click on the 'Zoom In' or 'Zoom Out' buttons on the side panel. Also, when you click on the buttons, the zoom % changes and you cannot see what it was previously set to. I would like to see a 'Zoom %' button showing the current %.

  4. This problem was confirmed in Acrobat Pro 2024.001.20604 64-bit for Windows 10 Pro (22H2).

    I found a bug that the comment pane is not displayed automatically even with the following settings.


    Preferences > Commenting > “Show comments pane when a PDF with comments is opened” is checked


    The conditions under which this fault occurs are:
    For PDF files with comments on page 51 or later

    However, if a PDF has at least one comment before page 50, the comments pane is automatically displayed.

  5. There seems to be a problem with creating new bookmarks. I'm nesting the bookmarks as I create them in order to keep myself organized, considering this PDF is almost 800 pages long. I'm finding that if I nest my most-recently-created bookmark under another one, all future bookmarks I create are also nested under the same bookmark.

    However, once I wish to move one of these newly-created bookmarks to the root level, that is to un-nest them, the only way I can do so is to move them to the top of the list. Even if I try to un-nest them…

  7. When using a shared mobile device, we need to limit the visibility of previously accessed files by other users. This could be accomplished by removing access to the "On this device" option within Acrobat mobile.

    Secondly if we could remove the system from requesting permission to the "All file access" so that permission couldn't be granted by the user afterward.

    To summarize, here are the following requests for configuration options:

    1. Remove the "allow access to your files to view, modify, and save PDFs" See attached image 1Featurerequest

    2. The ability to hide "On this Device" as a file location selection. See…

  8. Make the snap shot camera tool available again. I always need to make clear images out of PDFs for our web page. By removing the Snapshot tool there is NO WAY TO MAKE SHARP IMAGES THAT MEET OUR REQUIREMENTS! Put the Snapshot tool back or tell me where the _____ it is hiding in the latest versions of Acrobat.

  9. When opening PDFs from various sources, I often receive a JS pop up stating "This pdf form requires a newer version of Adobe Acrobat...", in spite of having the latest version of Reader (23.008.20555 as of this post) installed. There are often multiple (as on 3-7+) popup dialogs that repeat this message whether OK or Cancel is pushed (the only difference being OK opens a browser window to redownload what I already have).

    The PDFs in question are often generated by 3rd parties, E.G. Tax preparation software online. One such recent example used iText 2.0.7, which uses PDF version 1.5…

  10. Brief description of the use case:
    starting from Adobe Document cloud in a SharePoint online environment I click on the "Desktop" button to open a PDF file in Adobe Reader.
    A selection window appears where i can start Acrobat Reader or download & install the app.
    The download button is highlighted in blue, and encourages me to be the better choice.

    Error indication:
    The application is already installed by 100% of users. Due to a lack of permission on the desktop, Acrobat Reader cannot be downloaded and installed again.

    Feature request:
    - Is it possible to remove this selection window…

  11. I use Acrobat to read schematic diagram PDFs output from Altium. One feature is that if you click on a component (such as a transistor) the PDF is designed such that a pop-up window comes up and displays data about that component, such as it's part number. The troublesome part is that you can't select and copy anything in the popup window. I don't know if that's an Adobe SW item or has something to do with how Altium designs its PDFs, but it would be WONDERFUL to be able to select and copy information from that pop-up.

  12. Improvements for Save As... dialogue:

    • extend recent folder from 5 to ... in options (5 locations is not enough for me)
    • add Nextcloud as a cloud service provider (API's are available)
    • add an option to disable the Adobe "extra" save as... dialogue as the default Windows Shell save window has way more functionality (more bookmarks and direct access to cloud or network folders not supported by adobe.

  13. First of all: great new clean look of Acrobat interface, I really like it. finally I can put my long desired "save as..." button in the toolbar, crazy it is not there by default but I can live with that.

    Now why are the above elements not editable? For example the most used tools as the black arrow and the hand tool are hidden both under the arrow tool. It's one click extra again every time I like to switch from the one tool to the other. Like in other Adobe applications, please make that toolbar fully editable so we…

  16. The engineers for New Adobe forgot that people don't just use Adobe to create and manipulate documents -- the other half of the equation is that the documents are also going to be READ. This New Adobe puts the bookmarks on the right side of the page with no option to switch the view to how people actually read which is left to right. SO FRUSTRATING. I won't be able to use New Adobe ever if you leave it this way.

    I miss the early 2000's when Adobe worked, was relaible ,and didn't constantly **** stuff around

  18. The icons are way too small and are greyed out so not very legible
    also the most important icons are buried in the bottom right so drop off your screen completely - the most common thing u do when opening a pdf is to enlarge or shrink the size, its a right pain hunting the icons to do that, every time.
