  1. Almost every time I open Acrobat, whether on restart or wake-up, the locations of interface items changes. Today, "Recent files" is populated with the contents of my starred folder. Which is great because usually my starred folder is inexplicably empty, Today it's recent files that's empty.

    Regularly I'm greeted with "Bytes not Ready" when performing basic commands.

    Then I get some messages that are upside down and backwards! What is that?!

    Signatures weren't available last week but they're back now!

    As many others have suggested about going back to the old interface - Mine does that about every 8th time…

  3. I get constant reminders of new features when I open PDFs. I don't want constant reminders. Just once at most.

  4. I have a 29 k PDF file that has overprinting objects. With my preferences set:
    Page Display > Use Overprint Preview: Always
    the file opens not showing the overprint, and 7 seconds later, the overprint renders correctly. It seems that this render should be a highest priority, rather than opening with one view, then changing, it should wait until the render is complete before showing me a false view.

    1. In preferences uncheck Enable Protected Mode at startup. (This is a requirement for one of our business application Acrobat plug-ins)
    2. Minimize a PDF file that has been modified but not yet saved.
    3. Hover your mouse over the taskbar thumbnail of the PDF, but don't restore the window, then click the x from the thumbnail to close the file.

    Acrobat freezes as the prompt to save changes pop up windows opens.

    Tested on Acrobat Pro 32 bit version 2022.003.20322 and on Acrobat Reader.
    Windows 10 21H2 with Feb 2023 Windows updates installed.
    Reproduced on multiple laptops and desktop PCs and under…

  5. When you open multiple PDFs, they're shown as tabs in the same Acrobat window. If you would then switch to tiled view (Shift+Ctrl+l) they become split into separate windows. That's odd.

    Bug: Ctrl+Shift+l is supposed to place them side by side, in a row, but they're tiled on the screen, so that 4 PDFs are distributed in 2x2.

    Feature request: do not split the tiled view into separate windows. Do the same as in Indesign. 2 up vertical etc., all in one window. Why? If you want to have them back into one window again there is no action for…

  6. In Print Production > Set Page Boxes dialog, the position of the selection boxes for input of margin values are not very intuitive. When setting the bottom margin, I tend to go to the last box, which as it is, is for the right margin. I propose a much more intuitive positioning of the input boxes. The current dialog box and the new, proposed one are in the uploaded images.

    Note the intuitive positions of the input boxes, Top, Left, Right, Bottom, which correspond to the actual positions on the page. Small details like this expedite work because they avoid…

  7. The user's choice for "fit to width scrolling", "fit one page", "read mode" should remain consistent for ALL documents and sessions. It's extremely aggravating that i have to choose my preference for every document.

    Further, based on internet searches, setting the page display preference to "single page continuous" and "fit width" in preferences does not actually change the default behavior to what i want nor stick across future docs that are opened.

    Every f*ing doc i open i have to click on the "fit to width scrolling" to be able to read the doc.

  8. Bug

    A weird issue only when you try to combine PDFs from the right-click menu in Windows.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Find 2 or more PDFs in Explorer, highlight them, right-click, Combine Files in Acrobat...
    2. Acrobat launches with a white screen. To fix, simply resize the window in any way and the screen for combining files renders correctly. Click Home and going tack to Tools also fixes it.

    Windows 10 22H2 (Also occurs in Windows 11 21H2). Occurs on many workstations in our environment.
    Acrobat Pro 2022.003.20322

    I'd expect it to load the combine files interface when Acrobat launches.…

  9. The website is not accepting my vote on another idea (although I am logged in), so I'm adding more ideas.
    Multiple issues:
    1. The new icon-based styles for editing or commenting are completely nonintuitive; other than printing/saving/zooming/scrolling from the other toolbars, I don't know what any of the buttons mean.
    2. Please move some buttons from editing to commenting or vice versa, or combine their toolbars, or rename their bars. It is ridiculously hard to figure out how to add a rectangular shape in the new Acrobat Pro. It was easy in my last version of Acrobat Pro
    3. Please…

  10. New toolbar overlapping a ruler.
    It should adjust screen position automatically to avoid covering other interface elements.
    Give us option to move that floating toolbar too and also possibility to change default buttons position.

  12. Please fix the huge circle issue in highlighting text. I just spent about 5 hours trying to fix it and no luck. I have also ready thousands of users are having the same issue. It worked perfectly until I started paying for pdf now it's not working. Please fix this!

  13. I am amazed at how hard it is to flatten a document when you’re trying to accomplish something so simple. It is amazing and impressive that Adobe has made it so complex, confusing, and impossible to use. It is so bad that when I call Adobe for help, the tech support just advises me to open up the document in Google Chrome and save it as a PDF. For such an expensive product, that is ridiculous!!!

  14. Please restore functionality that existed in Acrobat X:
    1. Drag & Drop files with Legacy Actions and with Acrobat DC actions
    2. Do not displaying each file processed by actions for faster processing
    3. Be able to edit actions created in prior versions of Acrobat
    4. New actions should have an option to prompt user to add more files before running
    Please watch the following video for a complete description and comparison of the functionality to Acrobat X:

  16. Using 64-bit Acrobat since version 22.003.20282, in any PDF document when opening Document Properties, then changing to the Description tab and to Security tab the text is overlapping.

    We have found that if you disable Sandbox Protections under Prefereneces - Security (Enhanced) - Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at startup it resolved the issue. We plan on opening a ticket with Adobe.

    You can also turn it off via the regitry
    [HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000

  17. UX design used to be to provide the best possible functional interface to allow the end user to be as productive as possible. The latest Adobe Acrobat interface flys in the face of these standards. It has moved menus, hidden functionality behind icons and in the name of looking cool or nice has ruined my productivity.

    I never comment in these forums, but what you have done with the latest interface is so dysfunctional that if you worked for me I would fire the lot of you.

  18. Even if a single document is open in New Acrobat Pro the file name is displayed as trimmed. This is totally unacceptable in workflows where file names carry important information and must be inspected together with visual PDF information. This simple interface change makes Acrobat useless in prepress work, please fix this or provide a solution in settings.

  19. on the adobe acrobat online documents page, files have their modified dates displayed but only in the American Format (e.g. 2/3/2023). This is confusing for users outside U.S.

    can it be updated to at least Follow international standard as the baseline or give options for display type
