1. Acrobat DC takes over the computer when assembling PDF files.

   It seems that Acrobat DC wants to be in charge of my computer when assembling multiple PDF files into one PDF. After each file added, Acobat DC forces itself to have the focus, and brings itself to the front, no matter what other application I'm in. My computer has 24 cores, and 64 GIG of ram, yet Acrobat DC won't multi-task and let any other app have focus whiles it's assembling PDF files.

2. Add option to print using system dialog by default

   In my office we have user codes we use when printing. The code is saved into the print driver of each user. When printing from Adobe we are forced to click "properties" before every print, even if we don't need to make any setting changes. If you do not click properties, the user code embedded into the driver is not sent with the print job and it fails with an authentication error at the printer. This is a common problem with many applications. Google Chrome has added the ability to turn off their print preview, and it has solved the issue. MS Edge is useless to me because of this problem. Please add this functionality.

   Hi Drew,

   Thank you for reporting this bug. Could you clarify what difference does clicking on “Properties” button makes?

   Also please mention the printer driver and printer model your are using.

4. Do not automatically open comment pane

   Do not automatically open comment pane

   When choosing the Comment tools from the Tool pane, the Tool pane closes and the Comment pane opens automatically. Would be nice to have an option such that the comment pane doesn't automatically open. Most of the time I just want to highlight a few things without typing any actual comments.

6. 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.

7. Document Color window is a very important print production tool. It definitely needs a separate resizeable window.

   Hi,

   The "Document Color" function that is somewhat hidden in the "Convert Colors" window is a very important print production tool. It only becomes really visible when you click its arrow. You cannot resize its window. In a document with many images, it becomes very hard to see all of the different image formats and ICC profiles. It definitely needs a resizeable window as a separate Print Production tool.

10. Start-up issue on Mac

    I have Acrobat Pro DC as part of a Creative Cloud subscription. Running on MacBook Pro under OS X High Sierra 10.13.6.
    For several weeks I've had the issue that when starting the app, usually by opening a PDF, there is a interval of a minute or more when it is unresponsive. The document is slow to appear. The Mac process indicator appears (spinning rainbow disc). The delay is quite aggravating. It only happens on the first document opened in a session.
    If I quit the app and reopen it, the same thing occurs.
    This behavior started recently; and the app never had this stuck period during start-up.
    It is not appear to be dependent on having an internet connection.
    
    I won't speculate on mechanism. Just wish it would get remedied.

11. Password Protected pdf's

    In your next update, please include the option to save documents (from programs such as Microsoft Office) DIRECTLY to password-protected pdf forms. It should be unnecessary to open the pdf's in the Adobe program and then create an additional level of security. The current system requires too many steps, which is neither time- nor labor-efficient. You already include the ability to convert to pdf directly from these programs, so please add the option to convert directly to a password-protected version. Thank you.

    This feature already exits with Word for every PDF that required password excryption.

    1. Create your document or open an existing PDF document using Word
    2. From the File menu select Save As
    3. Browse to a location to save the document
    4. Select PDF (*.pdf) as the document type and click the Options… button
    5. In the PDF options section check the Encrypt the document with a password option

12. Saving a PDF 508 compliant form to Reader Enabled deletes table summaries

    When I save out a PDF form to File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools, which includes all the necessary elements for 508 compliance, including table summaries, the resultant Reader enabled file has the table summaries deleted.

    Thus it is impossible to get the final form PDF to pass 508 testing, because now I cannot edit the final PDF in order to restore the table summary.

    Thanks for looking into this.

14. Acrobat incorrectly adding links to text that contains the word 'news:'

    Hi, I have been making PDFs from InDesign CC 2019 running on Mac OS High Sierra. When opening the PDFs in Acrobat Pro DC, it's creating broken links from text that does not look like a URL and where no links have been specified. I think it's the 'Create Links from URLs' feature in Acrobat preferences trying to be helpful but failing miserably. This seems to affect text that uses a colon : but I can't ask my client not to use colons in their copy just because Acrobat is incorrectly reading it as a URL. My client is asking my why there are broken links, but I don't have the option of removing these links as both InDesign and Acrobat say that there are no links in the document. Please can you give me any suggestions as this isn't working.

15. 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.

16. Font replaced with dots

    Editing a PDF that used Arial Narrow first issued a warning that I don't have the font installed and would substitute it with an other font. Now that I installed the font, each letter or number is replaced with a dot.

    The font works fine in a text editor.

17. PSBs cannot be saved as PDF

    Currently large Photoshop documents that are PSBs cannot be saved as Photoshop PDFs. The unacceptable work-around is to flatten the file and hope that it’s small enough to convert to PSD first.

    If this is not already being worked on (I hope it is), then please add it to your list. It’s an issue for Photoshop users.

19. Isolated field format losses with Acrobat PDF to XML exports

    ReadMe3-9-2019Isolated fieldformatlosseswithAcrobatPDFtoXML_exports.txt
    Adobe Acrobat Pro XML Export Bug Report
    by Rich Hartness, rhartness@mabnc.org

    1 Title: Isolated field format losses with Acrobat PDF to XML exports

    2 Intent

    I'm writing to report there seems to be a very small but significant bug in the Acrobat 2017 and Pro DC PDF to XML exporter, to share my compelling evidence, and hopefully to gain your support to authorize a code fix that will correct this issue in a future update.

    3 Problem description and scope

    The problem seems to only exist in XML exports. In these cases, individual fields of data are dumped into single XML records, without preserving their individual field identities in the XML code. This problem does not exist in All the other export formats such as Word, Excel, rich text, HTML, and spreadsheet XML.

    4 Steps to reproduce the issue: Perform PDF to XML exports from Acrobat Pro 2017 or Acrobat Pro DC. When you find multiple fields in the original file showing up in a single XML record, then export the same file to Word, Excel, Rich text, HTML or spreadsheet XML, and you will likely find the problem does not exist in those other formats. I have included a sample PDF file and corresponding XML export file that demonstrates the problem in several sections.

    5 OS is Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Applications are latest Acrobat Pro 2017 and Pro DC.

    6 Expected result: All individual fields of information in the source PDF should be preserved as distinct units in the XML file. Separate lines of information in the source file, like name address, city/state/zip, as well as column headers and individual cells in a table should appear as distinct elements in the XML file.

    7 Observed result: In multiple isolated cases, several fields of information that were separate and distinct in the source PDF file became indistinguishable members of a single XML record, without any delimiters in the XML file.

    8 Attached zip containing important file samples
    Zip name: Isolatedfield-formatlosseswithAcrobatPDFtoXMLexports.zip

    The zip contains 7 files. They are as follows:

    Source document: SampleBank1.pdf

    Problematic file: SampleBank1.xml

    Other file exports demonstrating greater format integrity:
    SampleBank1.docx
    SampleBank1.html
    SampleBank1.rtf
    SampleBank1.xlsx
    SampleBank1_SpreadsheetXML.xml

    9 Documented examples of problematic XML export behavior

    The attached zip contains a redacted bank statement PDF, and 6 different file formats I exported it to.

    There are 3 instances in this XML sample that illustrate this ambiguous XML field formatting export behavior. Strikingly, this bad export behavior does not exist in the other 5 file export formats. I site them all clearly below.

    •9A Instance 1 Name/address/CityStateZip

    Open the Word formatted file in Word. From the top of the document, search for the text string, "JANE DOE". (not including the quotes) The cursor will land at the beginning of three consecutive lines of name and address information:

    JANE DOE
    1234 SESAME ST
    ANYWHERE NC 12345-6789

    This information is also presented as 3 distinct lines, Name, address and city/state/zip in rich text, HTML, and spreadsheet XML.

    In Excel, the line containing JANE DOE almost appears like it's in the same record as street and city/state/zip, but when that cell is pasted into wordpad, it breaks out into 3 separate lines.

    Contrastingly, in the XML file, these same three lines of data are populated to a single XML record, and separated only by a space character. The 3 fields are indistinguishable as follows.
    
    JANE DOE 1234 SESAME ST ANYWHERE NC 12345-6789

    The record containing the exact XML code taken directly from the XML file is as follows:
    <TH>JANE DOE 1234 SESAME ST ANYWHERE NC 12345-6789 </TH>

    There is no way to determine where the name ends and where the street address begins. Same true for City/state/zip. Instead of there being a discernible delimiter between those fields, an ambiguous space character is present.

    •9B Instance 2 Column headers inside the "Summary of checks written" table

    Open the Word formatted file in Word, and from the top of document, search for the text string, "Amount" (not including the quotes) The cursor lands in the 3rd column of the row of table headers inside the "Summary of checks written" table. The row of table headers appears in the Word file as:

    Number(tab)Date(tab)Amount(tab)(tab)Number(tab)Date(tab)Amount(tab)(tab)Number(tab)Date(tab)Amount

    Perfectly delimited, with a single tab character between Number, Date and Amount, and two consecutive tab characters between Amount and Number, .

    The same exact presentation with one and two tab characters is also found in the rich text file.

    In HTML, spreadsheet XML, and Excel, there's great format integrity, each column header is in its own column, and there is an empty column between AMOUNT and NUMBER when the table repeats further to the right.

    Contrastingly, in the XML file, all 9 Colum header fields run together and appear in a single XML record as:
    <P>Number Date Amount Number Date Amount Number Date Amount </P>

    All 9 fields appear in that single XML record, and each column header is separated by a single space character. There's no way to tell where one column header ends and the next one begins. Similarly, there's no way to tell when the sequence of 3 columns is repeated.

    •9C Case 3 Column data inside the "Summary of checks written" table

    Open the Word formatted file in Word, from the top of the document, search for the second instance of the text string, "299" (not including the quotes). The cursor is placed in the first column of the first row of table data inside the "Summary of checks written" table. The complete first row of table data appears as:

    299(tab)11/30(tab)114.38(tab)(tab)305(tab)12/11(tab)30.00(tab)(tab)307(tab)12/20(tab)40.40

    Perfect format integrity again. Just like the row containing the column headers, there is a single tab character between adjacent columns containing 299, 11/30, and 114.38. There are also two consecutive tab characters between the Amount and Number columns, 114.38 and 305. Individual field identification is clear and concise.

    The same exact superb presentation with one and two tab characters is also true for rich text.

    In HTML, spreadsheet XML, and Excel, format integrity is preserved. Each column data entry is in its own column, and there is an empty column between AMOUNT and NUMBER when the table repeats further to the right.

    Contrastingly, and even surprisingly, the XML file contains all 36 cells of information of data, that's the entire table, in a single record, with single spaces separating each field. Without meaningful field delimiters, there's no way to distinguish any of the data fields. It is not safe to assume the table entries will not contain spaces.

    Record from XML file with exact XML coding:
    <P>299 11/30 114.38 305 12/11 30.00 307 12/20 40.40 298 12/3 215.00 302 12/17 15.00 311 12/26 15.00 301 12/3 50.00 306 12/17 39.70 312 12/28 5.00 300 12/4 38.10 309 12/19 43.67 310 12/28 46.70 </P>

    10 Conclusion:

    Adobe has done a terrific job creating PDF content and format export functionality to many other popular file formats. I have sited only the parts of PDF to XML file export that appear broken. That's a small part of the whole. It does correctly identify and pass along most of other content and format properly. There was another table earlier in the document entitled "Transaction history", where every field of Colum headers and table data are properly exported and conveyed as distinct elements in the XML file, so it's not the entire approach of the XML exporter, only a couple of small instances. .

    The problematic formatting of those ambiguous records sited above are unique to XML file export only. Since all the other 5 export formats (Word, Excel, Rich text, HTML and spreadsheet XML) export those records and maintain the format integrity of each contributing field, I believe the XML export coding is broken or simply misbehaving. I hope you will please join me in recognizing this rogue XML file export behavior as a bug or flaw, and pass it along to your change control process so that it may be corrected in updates coming soon.

    1 Title: Isolated field format losses with Acrobat PDF to XML exports

    2 Intent

    I'm writing to report there seems to be a very small but significant bug in the Acrobat 2017 and Pro DC PDF to XML exporter, to share my compelling evidence, and hopefully to gain your support to authorize a code fix that will correct this issue in a future update.

    3 Problem description and scope

    The problem seems to only exist in XML exports. In… more

20. Adobe Pro fails to open this PDF, reports bad stream. Other readers open it fine

    1. Open this PDF in Adobe Pro
    2. See "bad stream" error.

    Any other PDF reader (Chrome, Evince, Mac Preview, GhostScript) opens it just fine, but Adobe Pro is unhappy about it.

    Is it a bug in Adobe Pro?
