24.002.21005 Font read bug from PDF-Printer
With the latest update, not all PDF files are displayed correctly.
Problem occurs with me and our end customers under Windows.
The fonts are no longer displayed correctly in terms of character spacing and font size.
The same PDF files worked before the update and continue to work in other programs for displaying a PDF.
The EDocPrintPro PDF printer is used in my case, but I cannot rule out that other PDF printers are affected.
In my example in the appendix I have inserted test data and assigned a different available font to each text. The problem occurs with most…12 votes -
Acrobat forms in French - date picker in French, number formatting for French
I need to create French versions of forms where there is an option to format numbers as 44 534,41 $ rather than $44,534.41
When adding a date field to a form, I also need a French date picker, so the French users see the calendar in French.

Acrobat Pro DC Form edit mode selection is BROKEN
In form edit mode, using the Select Object Tool. When selecting a column of form objects (e.g. check boxes) ALL non form objects are selected, and the tool reverts to the Edit too. This renders it impossible to perform actions on the form objects alone
In the file, try and select a column of checkboxes to match the behaviour.
This worked fine before the last update, currently on 2019.021.20047
I would suggest removing the Edit tool from the Form Edit mode, it is not necessary. It is available in the PDF Edit mode.
When I want to work on form…

Can you add a feature that locks fill-in form fields?
I built a fill-in form using a PDF template. Turns out the PDF displayed incorrectly for one of my users, so I created a replacement template PDF. When I switched it out, all my fill-in form fields significantly moved. Would love a feature that would allow the fields to be locked before replacing template. Thank you.
1 voteBarbara,
To avoid accidental changes to the form field, select Locked in the lower-left corner of the Properties dialog box before you close it. To unlock, click the option again.
I hope it work for you .

[Bug Report] Clicking an option from a dropdown form field results in the wrong one being selected
For a long time now I have noticed a peculiar bug that only sometimes rears its head. By now I'm pretty sure it is a bug and not something I'm doing wrong, as I've had this same issue appear in multiple AcroForms that I have made, all with different content.
What happens is illustrated well with the screen recording I made, see the attached file.
How to reproduce:
• This is with an AcroForm drop-down field that has about 200 entries.
• This drop-down field has the options "Allow user to enter custom text" and "Commit selected value immediately" selected.…56 votes -
Defect-Radio Button/Checkbox border disappears when selected
Behavior: When selecting one of the radio button options, the border disappears. Note that this appears to be affected by the field highlighting, which is enabled by default for Reader and Acrobat.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Setup a form with multiple sets of radio buttons, where at least two options exist for each set of radio buttons
2. In the Appearance properties tab for the radio buttons, set the Border Color to black and Line Thickness to "Thin"
3. In the Options properties tab set the Button Style to "Cross"
4. Open the form and select one radio button from…1 voteThis is as designed.
As you select the radio button, you will observe a light gray, beveled frame appears around each button boxes.
You can see the difference as you make changes in “Line Style” -
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.
1 voteThis 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 -
Dropdown empty default value
if i create form i need to create dropdown where is default empty value and user chose something only if he need it
1 voteBasically, a drop-down field can’t have a completely blank value (unless you set the values using a custom script).
You can add a value that’s a single space, though, or an underscore, or something like “SELECT ITEM” and set it as the default value.

Dynamic menu - Hit or Miss
Edit Menu > Form Options: does not always show when opening a Form PDF. In Acrobat Standard DC it is hit or miss as to if the Edit Menu show the Form Options selection.
What makes the 'dynamic menu' feature sense a pdf form?
1 voteEdit > “Form Options” > is visible (default) in following two cases -
1. A reader extended PDF is opened in Acrobat.
2. A distributed PDF.The menu option is also, available in same session for a non-Reader Extended PDF (or non-distributed) if they are opened with a Reader Extended PDF (and/or Distributed PDF).
That ways the “Edit > Form Option” stays visible until user exit Acrobat application.Please note, Edit > “Form Options” > does not appear when we are creating form from scratch because as an author he/she has the advantage of using Prepare Form Tools.

Show Fillable Fields Again
The previous version of Acrobat clearly indicated which fields were fillable by having them highlighted in blue. And now there simply isn't anything, and it's suggested to simply just click and check? Not effective, efficient, or clear especially for forms that are aimed towards less tech savvy people.

Interactive PDF form support for SharePoint Adobe Document Cloud extension
It would be nice if the Adobe Document Cloud extension for SharePoint enabled PDF forms to be interactive and fillable as they are by default in IE. At our company, we use a lot of pdf forms daily that are interactive/fillable/submittable/printable, etc. This kind of functionality only works if our users are in IE. But not all users use IE. We want the same functionality to exist in Chrome/other browsers for a seamless experience. Please add some functionality to this extension that allows these forms to do so.
1 voteChrome is no longer a supported browser. You can refer more at – https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/change-in-support-for-acrobat-and-reader-plug-ins-in-modern-web-.html

Option to unlink form fields when copying fields or complete page
When copying form fields, Acrobat automatically makes identical copies. If I copy a page and fill in the first page, the fields on the second page are automatically filled out with the same info. The only way to couteract this without having java scripting knowledge is to manually change the name of every field. This is frustrating when you have 100 fields that need to be identical on 20 pages, but filled out with different info. This should be a standard option. Preferrably while copying, acrobat could ask if you want the new copies linked with the originals or not.
3 votesThis is as designed.
To avoid same name of form fields, please use “Right Click > Create Multiple Copies”.Read more at https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-form-field-basics.html

Place image ability in fillable save-enabled PDF form via READER, not edit via Pro
Place image (click field, browse for image, image selected, fit with options to Fit Proportional to Image and Fit proportional to frame) in fillable, save-enabled PDF form via READER, not edit via Pro. This is to allow end users to place a logo in a standardized form (sponsorships, partnerships, etc). To limit this to Pro as a layout option only is such a waste.
