  1. Submitting a bug at ghostscript's request

    https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707678#c3

    The pdf in attachment (page5_gs) fails to open in Acrobat DC.

    However, upon opening the pdf with Adobe Acrobat, I encountered an error message indicating that the document has an issue, and a significant portion of the page's content is missing. Interestingly, page 5 functions perfectly when I open source_document.pdf with Adobe Acrobat.

    It's important to note that this issue only occurs with Adobe software; page5.pdf opens correctly with Chrome-based browsers and Mozilla Firefox.

  2. I DESPERATELY want a user preference that inhibits automatically opening the left side toolbar. I've seen a couple of other comments on the same topic where an Adobe engineer claims that F8 turns off the menu. News Flash: F8 does nothing in my Acrobat Reader AND I ALWAYS want the left-side tools menu hidden, unless summoned. I<b> READ</b> PDFs with Acrobat <b>Reader</b>, I don't need or want to see editing tools. So far (after YEARS of use) I haven't needed to redact, highlight, or annotate (comment), but I can see those capabilities as being potentially valuable when needed, though RARELY.

  4. First of all: great new clean look of Acrobat interface, I really like it. finally I can put my long desired "save as..." button in the toolbar, crazy it is not there by default but I can live with that.

    Now why are the above elements not editable? For example the most used tools as the black arrow and the hand tool are hidden both under the arrow tool. It's one click extra again every time I like to switch from the one tool to the other. Like in other Adobe applications, please make that toolbar fully editable so we…

  5. I type comments onto my student's pdf's of their screenplays. The text often stops
    working if I scroll away to double check something on another page forcing me to create a new text box, AND, it will display that same text in random places on other pages.

    Also, I would like the ability to create my own text box dimensions so that the text wraps and stays confined to the text box instead of just continuing off screen which makes no sense as a feature. In what circumstance could that be helpful?

    Please fix the wonky acrobat features to make…

  6. I notice A LOT of posts on this forum...funny, not a single posted response from any Adobe PM or Engineer, nor have I noticed any changes to the complaints folks post here...it's almost like they could care less what we think, say, or do...almost like Microsoft.

  8. Show my own email address in clients email header instead of "adobe sign ... ". A lot of my clients plus email programs treat it like spam, since the email obviously doesn´t come from me. The preview is too short and unnoticable.

  9. The rubbish message bar that appears under the already wasteful 2 menu bars when there is a limitation or error CAN NOT BE CLOSED.

    This specific error bar can't be hidden by clicking the red cross, and I only have two options in the drop menu - both to enable javascript - that I DO NOT WANT.

    Per all my other comments adobe's hideous reader interface:
    a) LET ME GET RID OF THE MESSAGE, javascript on or off.
    b) STOP wasting screen space
    c) LE ME GET RID OF ALL THE CLUTTER YOU ADD TO THE PAGE. IT DOES NOT…

  10. New E-signature process is terrible. I need to have control over which email address I am sending from - as my Adobe email and work email are different. I also do not want to use the Adobe cloud to store the emails. Bring back the old process!!!

  11. AI assistant text box doesn't allow you to type (fully) if you have hotkeys enabled (it only types in the letters that aren't acrobat hotkeys). I end up having to type it in a word processor and then having to copy and paste in the box. This is very inconvenient.

  12. We need an option to compare specific areas of two files.

    It is often the case that we have certain information in the two files which are known to change and we don't care about. We need to filter these out.

    We are only looking for changes in a certain area so the ability to change this search area would be extremely useful and with the added benefit that it would speed up the process too as not all of the files need to be compared.

  13. Acrobat Pro 2023.008.20533 crashes consistently on close if the General preference "Show Home screen when all documents are closed" is unchecked. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat, but the problem returns every time I uncheck the Home Screen option.

  16. I HATE this new acrobat!!! It is not user friendly at all. I just want my editing tools to be visible and the other things hidden unless I need them. I will continue to actively find ways to disable this new view. It is aparant that the engineers who decided on this new view do not actually use the edit tools very often. As an educator, I use them ALL THE TIME!!!
    GRRRRRRRR....

  17. Version 2023.008.20470 sucks. I did not initiate the update, and I want to go back to a previous version. The layout is terrible. Simple functions such as zoom do not work as well. The save feature is disabled most of the time. Fill and Sign feature is slow and sluggish.
    Was the previous version broken? I didn't think so. So why did you change it?

  18. Why would you maximize all the slide outs and menus when you open a PDF? I open these to READ THEM! Instead I get an image the size of a Post-It note and every possible menu and slide out taking up 75% of the screen space.

    Please maximize the size of the PDF when you open it and have every menu and slide out closed. I open documents so I can read them 99% of the time. The other 1% of the time I can open a menu or slide out.
