  1. When tagging lists, I frequently encounter symbols or acronyms that need actual text. Removing them from the list would actually make the pdf less accessible. Why isn't this a feature?

  2. I am using Prepare Form to insert fields so I can fill out a form.
    For some reason all of my fields display text upside down when I type in them using "fill and sign".
    I can go back to "Prepare Form" and change the property of "Orientation" from 180 to 0. However, I never set any of the fields to 180. This is a bug. Also, I can not select multiple fields and set them all to 0 degree orientation at once.

    This is a very poor user experience. I would use different software in a heartbeat.

  3. To ensure that assistive technologies can parse tables, headers that are repeated across pages should be marked as artifacts. This is recommended by the PDF Association's Tagged PDF Best Practice Guide: Syntax: https://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/TaggedPDFBestPracticeGuideSyntax.pdf . However, this structure is not followed by PDFMaker when converting from Word to PDF.

    Steps to reproduce the issue
    1. Open the attached Word document.
    2. Go to Acrobat > Create PDF.
    3. Press Save.
    4. Open the resulting PDF (also attached).
    5. Open the Tags panel (View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Tags).
    6. Expand the <Table> tag.

  4. In Acrobat XI Pro it was possible to undock the comment list into it's own window. That feature was highly useful but has been removed in current Acrobat DC Pro. Please restore that capability to Acrobat to make the commenting tool more useful.

  5. When adding layers to a PDF need an option to make the layer background transparent - this would allow a 'base' CMY' PDF to have multiple K (version) layers added - this would allow both registration and versioning to be verified

  7. A new bug in Adobe.

    When combining Word docs (and I believe it may affect other file types), the file name cannot be very long. Not sure how many characters but not very many. This is causing inefficiencies in my work where I publish research articles and the file name contains important information to identify each article. Having to shorten the file name wastes time. If this is an unintentional bug, please fix it!

    The error received is "No PDF file was created because Adobe Acrobat encountered an unidentified error". Less than helpful generic message leading me to believe this…

  8. In Adobe DC Pro, the Java Script Debugger window can be resized, but the internal sections cannot / do not scale to the proportions of the overall window size.

    The internal sections should be movable / scalable to allow all parts to be viewed, with scroll bars, for the overall window size chosen for the main debugger window.

    Very frustrating that the contents do not fit within a normal 1920 x 1080 monitor on my system.

  11. I have a form that must be approved by different departments of my organization in six different steps. In each step, someone must fill form fields, and add a signature, then send to the next department. Acrobat currently locks the form fields from being edited further after a signature is added in the "fill and sign" tool. Someone complained about this in 2017 and it was still not fixed.

    After adding a signature using the fill and sign tool (I do not use certificate based signatures due to complexity), the document should remain editable, and all fillable form field and…

    Hi,

    Thanks for providing your feedback. This is an AsDesigned feature and currently we do not have any change in functionality planned for the future.

    Regards,

    Sandeep Grover

  12. The software is very complex, particularly the preferences menu and the digital certificate-based signatures. Focus on simplicity and reducing complex and numerous options.

  13. Get rid of this portfolio garbage. Every update has only made the product more un-usable and worse. The next time you feel the urge to destroy what was a good product , please go find a coloring book and color a picture or something.

  15. I would like to propose that in the drop-down list application we can add a long text to it and that it appears completely on the form. I currently have a problem with this since the texts in my drop-down list are long and unfortunately they do not appear completely on the form. It would be interesting to add a parameter which authorizes the line to return itself automatically as it is possible in Excel. Thanks very much !

  16. Product File Version is: Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 22.001.20117.0

    TL;DR:
    When selecting a document from a subfolder of a portfolio as it´s initially shown document. (Collection Dictionary - COSName D)
    (via: PortfolioProperties - "Show current document when opening portfolio") the folder navigation is missing when reopening the portfolio, hence preventing to navigate the portfolio in direction of the portfolio´s root.

    Description:
    Selecting such a document should be allowed and possible, as any entry of the EmbeddedFiles tree may serve as the "D" entry of the collection dictionary, hence it is correct of Adobe DC to allow me doing that.
    And…

  17. J'utilise beaucoup les commentaires dans mon travail d'éditrice. J'ai toujours recours à un code couleurs mais il serait très utile de pouvoir faire la distinction entre 2 types de commentaires : Texte remplacé et Texte inséré.
    Ils se trouvent pour le moment regroupé sous le même type alors qu'il s'agit de deux outils différents et qu'on peut distinguer Note, Barré ou Surbrillance.

  19. Hello,
    I'm using a MX Anywhere 3 mouse on my Mac and unfortunately it's not possible to change the scroll speed using the mouse in scroll view compared to 1 page view. Changing the scroll speed in macOS' settings or Logi Options has no effect on acrobat.

    Sincerely

    Marius

  20. Not possible to edit text after saving files with active windows in PDF. For example when there is active window where we should write date and then we are adding signature, then field with date is not active anymore and it is not possible to change date with EDIT function either. It is very flustrating!
