We are evaluating the PDF feature for our customer needs, the PDF document should be displayed only a few pages and rest will be hidden, there will be two buttons at the end of the document in displayed pages, 1) Accept 2) Reverse, if user click on Accept button, hidden pages will be displayed, when he choose Reverse, then an email notification will be sent to the document author. I found that Adobe acrobat supports Javascripts but we have difficulty to find the perfect solution for the above problem.

I want to achieve this by following steps.

1) While writing the pdf document, I want to mark pages to be hidden.
2) Send the document to the user and let the user read the first part of the document and decide what he wants.
3) If the user clicks the Accept button then pdf document will be displayed the second part of the document
4) if the user clicks the Reverse button, then it will be sent an auto email to the document author.

Please Guide us if you have any alternative way to achieve this or consider this as a new feature.

However, please let us know the possibilities, appreciate for the help.

Thanks
Shoban

After the update, no longer able to change font settings of comments (ie font size, font color, etc.). After reaching out to help desk, it was indicated that this can only be done in the "Edit pdf" tool which only works once comments are embedded in the document. This does not make sense as I still need the comments to be "live" so that further edits can be made in the future. This is especially upsetting as I work on pdf's that are 24X36 and need the comments to stand out but the size is so small, it gets lost on the page.

Adobe Acrobat has been compatible with the major business application like MS Outlook or Lotus/IBM Notes since a long time.

With the version 10 of IBM Notes (that was October 2018) Adobe Acrobat 2017 is no longer compatible with this email suite.

The PDFMaker Addin did a great job in creating PDFs from Mail.
Unlike just "printing to PDF" the right border has not been cut when the text was too long and the PDFMaker did include all attachments from the mail into the final PDF.

So the Adobe Acrobat was a perfect companion for documenting approvals and other buisiness related mails that need to be stored as evidences.

THIS FUNCTIONALITY IS BROKEN WITH IBM NOTES 10.

Please get in contact with HCL and work on an updated PDFMaker Addin for IBM Notes 10.

I do work for IBM and from the 360.000 employees more than 100.000 people work with IBM Notes. And we have several thousend licenses of Adobe products - so: please re-enable IBM Notes for the use with PDFMaker.

Password protected files ask for password to be entered twice.

1. 
   

    If the document is opened directly from Outlook: when user opens a password protected PDF from Outlook:
   
   

   • It will ask user to enter password once (the password for the file)
   • It will again seek password to enable all features in the document

   
   


2. 
   

    If the PDF is saved from Outlook to the local machine: 
   
   

   • It will ask user to enter password twice same as above scenario
   • However when the same file is accessed for second time, it will not prompt for password to enable the features again, password will need to be entered just once going forward (which is the password for the file)

   
   

Could we please request for the second authentication to be removed?

Printing a filled-in PDF Form (AcroForm, not XFA) is unreliable.

File / Print does not work reliably, regardless of which printer is selected (even PDF Virtual Printer) or the options for comments, etc.

The problem is sporadic.

Several of our clients have had this happen, and there are frequent posts on the Adobe Forums for this problem.

https://community.adobe.com/t5/Acrobat/W9-s/m-p/10668894#M222034

Our testing results:

-- None of the form data prints, but the form skeleton does.

-- Some random form field data prints, but not all of it. Different field data will print each time the form is printed.

-- Certain types of form field data will print, like all of the checkboxes but none of the other fields.

-- Or everything prints as expected (but this is the most rare scenario).

-- Seems to happen once we add the <Form> tags to the PDF, when we turn a PDF into an AcroForm.

-- Also happens if it’s a PDF from InDesign which already has the <Form> tags built into the PDF when it’s made.

The only solution at this time is to print to a graphic.

But this is not a viable solution, especially with government and institutional forms (like the sample forum post today. A W-9 form is required by IRS by all employees and contractors).

Your recent update of Acrobat DC Pro changed the scope of the search function in the search box in the upper right hand corner.

It used to search among the title of the files in my cloud (about 10,000) on the title of the file with boolean "and" logic if I put multiple descriptors.

Now, it searches on the titles of files AND IN THE FILES which gives back too many search results to be useful for my purposes.

So you can understand exactly: over 3 years I have built my entire library of thousands of documents with no subdirectories by putting in the title of each document multiple descriptors. This allows me to find everything in a second by typing in a list of descriptors (name, date, topic, etc...). This unique feature of Adobe is why I chose it over other options.

Anyway, to get back to work Support helped me today install the October version.

However, it would be best in the next version if you add a preference box for the scope of the search box. This could be of great value to many users who have large libraries in your cloud and want flexible search.

Ideally, for a researcher living and working in your cloud, there will be an artificial intelligence function where you can talk to the computer to ask multi-part complex questions and then ask the computer to process the data once it is found. But, first things first.

Thank you for your consideration. Greg Makoff
