  1. When using the Digitally Sign tool the first step is to blindly draw a rectangle to indicate where to place the signature. Unfortunately the user is not given an indication of what the signature will look like until after the document is signed. Signatures solely composed of "Text" will have the text fit into whatever rectangular shape that was drawn (which is usually ok); however, signatures composed of "Images" will shrink the image to maintain it's aspect ratio and then center the image in the rectangle, this results in smaller signatures offset to the right from the insertion point. This…

  2. I'm using LaTeX (Beamer) to create my files and Drawboard PDF to draw on them. When I open the files with Acrobat, the slides with annotations with them result in Acrobat saying "There was a problem reading this document (18)". I can't even edit and try to save the document:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/111413iA8217F5167446A0C/image-size/original?v=1.0&px=-1

    Other PDF applications and even Chrome work just fine:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/111414i91B07C2CC5A11750/image-size/original?v=1.0&px=-1

    1. Steps to reproduce the issue
      Open the file and scroll to a slide with annotations.

    2. Environment
      Acrobat DC 2015, Acrobat Pro DC 2020.006.20042, Windows 10

    3. Expected Result
      Acrobat opens the file without issues.

    4. Observed result
      Acrobat throws an error…

  6. File management issue. Or UI issue.

    No recently opened files appear at all. Not in the Open Recent menu, not after I choose to show all recent files.

    Yes, even in the Home view.

    (And now the UserVoice form is not allowing me to post my report. Perpetual "Server Communications problems! Please try again.") message.)

    Slows me down a bit.

    In MacOS (Catalina 10.15.3).

  7. Hello,

    I fully understand, if I click on an a .pdf file Adobe acrobat application will open and runs my task and after that I may close that pdf file and open another PDF file... But I don't know why after running a .bpdx fule which is just for Rebuilding an index windows stays open and does not close and end the application. This causes problem with my scheduled task that I run at midnight as follow:
    1. move and copy some file.
    2. Stop the dropbox after re
    3. run the rebuilding of the indexes
    4. Start the Dropbox.…

  8. Can you please add a ruler tool. One which you could click on and it would go across the screen. If you could have it utilize the up and down keys to control it's movement, that would be great. Our firm receives a lot of lists in adobe pdf. form and it would help us keep track of where we are as we go through the pdf list.

    Thank you.

  9. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (Build: 20.6.20042.371807) on a mac OS 10.12.6

    If I use the scroll wheel on my mouse to zoom on a PDF, Acrobat freezes. It does not freeze when using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll through pages, nor does it freeze if I click the + button to zoom. Only freezes when using the mouse scroll wheel to zoom.

    Any ideas how to fix this?

  10. If we create a tagged PDF from InDesign, the contents item for hyperlinks is missing. This can be fixed with Acrobats single preflight fix: Create Contents Item For Link Annotations.

    However, this broke already in 2019 and still is broken in 2020!
    In 2018 it works in one go.

    In 2019 and 2020 we have to run it is many as five times before it is actualy applied!

    We save the document each time under a different name, sometimes the third time we run the fix it sticks, sometimes after five times, sometimes not at all.

    Now we heard this…

  13. As an agency, we prepare artwork in Indesign and PDF to send to clients. All work is proofed within Acrobat prior to sending and amended if required.

    Any amends are re-pdf'd and re-proofed. These amends need to stay under the same version no (read file name) but unfortunately Acrobat now caches pdfs so if we amends a document within indesign and re-open in acrobat with the same file name, it will open the older cached version and not the updated version.

    Because this is our internal proof, this file name and version no needs to stay the same before we…

  14. I am encountering problems with poorly labeled controls in the Acrobat DC Action Wizard. As a blind screen reader user, I would greatly appreciate anything you can do to improve the control labels that are spoken by screen readers. I am using the JAWS 2020 screen reader with Acrobat DC version 20.006.20042.
    The issues I have encountered:

    1. Some of the button control labels are unclear and it is difficult to determine which control has focus. For example, when adding a Watermark, the button to add the watermark is spoken as “Add”. If I press “space” to select this option, another…

    Hi,
    I checked the issues after your response.

    For point 2, the behaviour is as designed. It seems that the user have to select the option as the default selected item is the last added item in RHP and if no addition is done, then none of the option is selected. Further, I’m not able to hear “AV container View” with controls. I’ve informed the engineering team regarding this.

    For point 3, I have raised the issues with engineering team and hopefully it will be fixed in future release.

    Thanks
    Rachit

  15. Would be great if more customization would allow user to choose to see only the tools they would like to see. Way too many tools on tool bar that are not used. The unused ones take up space that I would prefer to have the tools i use often occupy. Results in multiple unnecessary clicks to access the tools I do use. I have customized the quick tool bar but when reviewing a document in portrait mode only 2 of those are displayed - and can only access the others with additional clicks. Meanwhile many are displayed that I have…

  18. Outlook is unresponsive while a page is active in an Adobe Acrobat window. I am unable to navigate my outlook, send an email or open emails. This is very difficult since I need to reference select items from my Adobe window while writing an email. This forces me to have to print the documents while referencing the collective data which is counteractive to a paperless job.

  19. Hello everyone,

    I think it would be very beneficial to be able to set guides at a specific coordinate. This is a feature I wish I had in Acrobat Pro many times. It would be nice for editing and quality checking PDFs. Thanks!
