Error in PDF Maker: tagged lists
When PDF Maker exports PDFs from MS Office, lists are not tagged correctly per the PDF/UA-1 standards.
Each bullet or numeral character should be encased in an Lbl tag. Correct tag structure should be:
L
LI
Lbl (the bullet or numeral character)
LBody (the body text of the list item)At this time, PDF Maker does not include the Lbl tag and combines the bullet/numeral within the LBody tag.
This is an incorrect, non-compliant tag structure.

Can you please share a sample document exhibiting the issue and the steps you are doing to create PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF?

Enable Accessibility options automatically during save.
We need a way to setup adobe Pro to automatically utilize the accessbility scanner when saving a doc to become more ADA compliant.
Out of the box, this should be a feature we can turn on.

Accessibility Checker to check at WCAG in line with PAC3 App checker
We are continually getting issues with compliance and the Adobe PDF Checker is not being stringent enough. We have created PDFs that are given a clear bill of health using the Adobe checker but our web team use the PAC3 app to verify and they fail on many levels. We would like Adobe to improve the checker to a similar standard so it then complies with legislation for public service bodies in the United Kingdom. Also, as we use Macs most other checkers are PC only so a level playing field would be immensely helpful. Thanks.
9 votesHi,
Thanks for contacting us. Can you please provide some sample files with the PAC3 checker results so that we can check the difference and proceed accordingly.Thanks

Save in Recent Selected Folders
In past versions of Adobe, if I was saving multiple documents, the program would remember the last folder I saved the document to, so it would automatically go to that folder when saving another document. At the moment, it will only open temporary files and I will have to waste time clicking around to find the correct folder that I want to save the document to. There needs to be an update to allow the flexibility to save documents to the last folder selected.
1 voteHi,
Thanks for providing your feedback. The last folders where you have saved your previous files should get listed under the My computer section of the Save As dialog.
Can you please share the snapshot of your Save As dialog?

Acrobat saves prior version of file exported from Indesign and ignores subsequent version
This is a horrendous bug that I can recreate umpteen times. If a file is exported from Indesign to Acrobat, and then the Indesign file is edited and re-exported to Acrobat, if you try to save the revised version in Acrobat, Acrobat saves the original version (which I presume it holds in memory) and ignores the revised version. The only fix I have found is to close Indesign and Acrobat and start again - this seems to clear the prior version from Acrobat. This is really dangerous for users and immensely inconvenient. Adobe please fix asap.

Bug: Images become blank grey boxes when changing the reading order
When we change the reading order in Accessibility of images in a scanned and OCR'd document, the image becomes a grey or white box and no longer shows the image if we move it in the reading order. If you move it back to the original location in the reading order, the grey box disappears. If you save it once the grey box appears, it's permanent. We have tried working with support and they've witnessed the issue happen. The open case may be under cheil@wooster.edu but I don't have the case number handy.

Thank you for connecting with us. I tried to reproduce it on my side but couldn’t find any issue. It would be better if you could provide a sample file and a video if the issue via a cloud link so that we can check it and provide a solution to this.Thanks

Fill & Sign Signature Image is Blurry
Using the February 9th version of Adobe Acrobat DC, when I try to add a signature from image in Fill and Sign the image is pixelated and blurry. When I do this on the document cloud, the image is full resolution. Can you fix the bug on the Fill & Sign tool so that we can insert images as signatures at full resolution on the desktop app.

Thanks for providing your feedback. Can you please provide the below details :
1. Was it working correctly before the Feb 9th Upgrade?

Invalid JSON
I am trying to use Acrobat Fill and Sign feature to send documents to clients for signature. I go to send them and I get "Invalid JSON" as an error message. It kills to progress to the Fill and Sign process and brings me back to a fresh document. I am using this file created in Acrobat.
I add two email addresses, add my own form language for the email description and body as I need to give info on other processes, and then click Continue and it gives the error message
3 votesHi Eric,
Thanks for reporting the issue and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I tired locally and was successfully able to send the file for Signature. Could you please confirm the following :
1. Do you see the same error with every PDF file or with this file only?
2. Do you observe the error with this file when you do not change the subject/body with your own language?
3. Also are you using English or some other language for Subject/Body? Did you use any special characters?Regards,

Converting files - Acrobat XI Pro vs Acrobat Pro DC
Acrobat Pro DC does not convert files as well as Acrobat XI Pro. I was told by support that developing code to convert every font is not possible; however it was possible for XI Pro. I don't want bells & whistles. I just want software that works. Attached are files converted via XI Pro and via Pro DC. Converting as a print file works but it is very inconvenient. I have lots of Word and Excel examples which I can send to someone. I do not want to attach confidential files in this type of forum.

[Bug] Acrobat DC 2020 | exporting to Word – images with text are blurry (OCR disabled)
Acrobat DC 2020 (20.013.20064)
MacOSX 10.14.16Exporting PDFs in Acrobat DC 2020 to Word (.docx or .doc) embedded raster images with (rastered) text (e.g. maps etc.) are blurry/with low resolution in the resulting Word document. This is especially the case if the export OCR option is clearly disabled. Other raster images (without text) are not affected. Embeeded raster images in the source PDF can be jpg or tif with "high" resolution like 300 or 600dpi and the result is allways the same bad quality for raster images with text (either source format of the embedded images), but as good as…

Accessibility- Reading order pause
I am just updating my resume to be more accessible to vision impaired. I am having trouble with some items running together in read-aloud.
In Adobe Acrobat Pro DC
My favoured option would be that we have the option to insert a <pause> object in the reading order.
If this is not possible, can you change Read-Aloud to pause between elements.
3 votesHi Barry,
Thank you for connecting with us. I believe you need a pause shortcut while using Read Out Loud. Please check View → Read Out Loud → Pause option. Use the shortcut key to pause and resume.Please check this out and confirm if this resolves your issue.
Thanks
