[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 -

Tab order feature
The field view is entirely too small to manually edit tab order. This should either be a separate pane or perhaps a pop-out window. I easily have over 100 fields on one page and it's impossible to order them as I need to (by column, within a section or rows of fields). Default tab ordering structures (By Row, By Column) are not useful here. Need more flexibility to set tab order manually.

Enable a way to have a drop down menu blank (no items selected) until clicked
Please enable a way to have the drop down menus on PDF forms blank until clicked on. If the item list has three or less items, you can click the blank space (Under dropdown properties > options > item list) but if there are four or more list items, one of them is always selected and shows on the drop down list (not blank.)

Expandable (and/or pop-out) "FIELDS" Pane When Editing a Form
(See attachment)
It would be great to be able to grab and pull the left edge of the FIELDS pane over to the left to widen it. Some of the text field names can be very long and can look identical to others unless you can see the whole title. (I know you can hover over the title to see the full text but that only seems to work intermittently, and is time-consuming).
Also, when scrolling up and down or when trying to grab and move titles to rearrange the tab order, it's easy to get confused and lose your…6 votesI have forwarded your request to engineering. It will be picked up after prioritization. We will contact you if we need some more information on this.

Detailed step-by-setp instructions to create complex forms
There are many basic youtube videos on creating forms. I need to know how to create complex forms with equation, reference fields and so on. What i learned from what is available out there is not adequate and doesn't work all the time. So better instructions are needed. You sell a product but must also provide good instructions on how to use it well. If there isn't any internal resource, please contract 3-party to do so. i have spent so much time on it and am still fumbling around. Very unproductive with my time.

Form Field Calculation
On Adobe Acrobat DC for Mac, when trying to program a calculation, the Field Selection dialog box is much too small to see the field names, and it can't be enlarged! There doesn't seem to be a way to select the fields outside of the dialog box on the form, which would be very convenient and make sense. It makes it impossible to use the calculate feature if you have long field names, which Adobe creates by default.

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.

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

Bug- Acrobat PDF Form document with digital signature fields does not launch
Since Friday, November 17th, 2017, we cannot open adobe acrobat form documents that contains digital signature fields. When we try to open the document, Adobe Acrobat application is not responding. First, I thought it is about verifying the digital signatures but even the unsigned form cannot be open. Also same document that digitally signed before cannot be open.
I created this form using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC in April 2017. It was working fine until November 17th, 2017. All our users have same problem.

Cannot enter calculations for fields
It is a Bug, not an idea.
When trying to insert a calculation into a form field to show the new date (also with other simple calculations), for example
var f = this.getField("Heute");
f.value = util.printd("d.m.yyyy",new Date());I can insert it, but when clicking OK the field is empty and nothing calculates.
There seems to be an error, snce this has worked befor – or I am doing it wrong, but I cannot see how.
Any ideas?

Square symbols don't always convert to check boxes
I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI. I used to use Adobe Acrobat X, and encountered the same problem.
I create some REALLY lengthy forms in Word. I apply a style with square bullets to text in Word to create a checkbox list. Then I convert the file to PDF, and then convert the PDF to a form. Every line has the same Word style with the same square symbol for its bullet, so there's nothing about the way I'm applying the formatting that's inconsistent.
I've learned from trial and error that square bullets only convert to checkboxes if the font is…
3 votesThe form field detection algorithm is not perfect, and only provides a good starting point.
You will require manual work to create fields that are not detected by AcrobatAs a workaround, you could try inserting “Square shape” instead of bullets.
Click Insert, click Shapes, select a shape, and then click and drag to draw the shape.I hope this work for you.

copy and paste with different names
When you have to resize a field such as a check box, it is more efficient to do a copy and paste. However, it is a pain to have to go back and edit each and every field with a unique name. This occurs because your paste autopopulates the name field with the same name. This feature should be able to be turn on or off as needed.

Wrong calculation in copied fields
when doing a calculation in a form like
A1B1=C1
with given standard values A1=2, B1=3 resulting in a field with calculation result of 6 (from 2x3=6) you get mistakes in a new calculation when you
- copy the three field
- rename them to D1, E1 and F1 and
- change the standard values and the calculation to D1=3, E1=4
- change the calculation to D1E1 with result 12
the shown form is still A1*B1=C1 values in both linesThis is a bug that should be solved.

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.
