  1. Bionic reading is a new method facilitating the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. As a result, the reader is only focusing on the highlighted initial letters and lets the brain center complete the word. In a digital world dominated by shallow forms of reading, bionic reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content.

  2. The device limitations (can't have two or more devices per account) is not feasible for an agency with devices at a time. I spoke with someone from Adobe, and they said we could up just Adobe Acrobat and that would solve the problem. But we're still having to kick off devices.

    We need to have a solution so more than two people can view PDF's at one time.

  3. I need to redact driver's license numbers from about 1200 PDF pages in Acrobat DC. There is no redaction pattern for driver's license numbers. I found tutorials on how to add custom redaction patterns. I created an updated version of the program's "SearchRedactPatterns" xml. I uploaded the updated version to replace the xml that was already there using a file path shown in multiple tutorials. There are no error messages associated with the new xml and I see no syntax errors in the coding that would prevent it from working. But the new custom pattern does not display in the…

  4. I review documents with comments from several coworkers. I'd like the option of having each commenter assigned a color. Then I would be able to scan the comments for a particular color to address that person's comments.

    Right now, I can filter comments by person, but that removes everyone else's marks/comments from the page. I can sort the comments by date, so I just look at the newest ones, but that doesn't include replies to comments. And it makes it hard to get to the other comments on the same page.

    Please add the option of each commenter choosing a…

  5. When reordering the reading order of items on the pages of an audit report, Acrobat randomly removed text on pages that I wasn't even looking at. I tested it out on another file and discovered the text disappears when you hit save. Up until then everything appears fine.

    Acrobat was also making random layers of embedded pdf maps disappear when when trying to add alternative text, and there is no option to simply edit the SLUG text instead.

  6. It would be great to be able to have an option to select "Sign all fields" on a electronic pdf document. (Both Initials and Full SIgnatures)
    Sometimes we have large documents to be signed and we have to click on each individual signature field making it time consuming to sign large documents.

  7. For data protection reasons we cannot hold completed agreements past a particular period of time. At the moment it is a tedious and extremely inefficient manual process to delete documents one at a time via a buried search menu. Please create the ability for users to set rules for types of agreements to be auto-deleted after a specified period. This is standard on many software packages which hold any personal information and should be an option here.

  8. 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?

  9. 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

  11. 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. I thought we were supposed to be able to feedback on the app, not just post feature requests or bug reports? Is this just to restrict us from complaining?

    My feedback is that the current Acrobat is still as terrible as it was when it was first introduced. None of the team appear to listen to a word of criticism and carry on forcing this horrendous bag of spanners down our CC throats. It's a blot on Adobe's vision and should be rethought completely. The longer you keep it, the more my opinion of your products wanes, but you just…

  14. When I try to save a document after editing the form; I get a document cannot save, try saving under a different file name. Then it automatically deletes my document and goes right into my trash. When I try to retore and open the document it then gives me an error "There was an error opening this document. Access denied." but I could open the document on the drive online. This is frustrating as I am always organizing documents and if I can't be saving if I organize a page it will take me time to keep going in my…

  15. When you create a PDF Portfolio, you're basically bringing in multiple files into one location, correct?

    It would be great if the portfolio automatically updated when one of its' linked files was updated.

    For instance, let's say I made a Portfolio of 12 different PDFs. I make an edit to one of those individual PDFs. The next time I open the portfolio, Acrobat automatically updates the portfolio with the updated PDF.

    Short of that, it would be nice to be alerted that one of the PDFs (or whichever file types are used) has been updated and you can click to…

  17. Exporting a PDF to JPEG in Acrobat Pro DC 21.011.20039 to multi-user network drives does not work. The files immediately get deleted upon exporting. Local drives or single-user network drives work fine. Two of our users are experiencing this behaviour with different PDF-files, so it's not only one specific file.

    Our OS is Win10 1909 (Build 18363.2094)

    We verified it is not an issue with their authorization on the network drive and we unsuccessfully tried the "Repair installation"-feature of Acrobat.

    The only solution we found is setting the compatibility mode of Acrobat.exe to "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)", but that…

  18. Hi,

    Previously when setting up an Adobe sign, the "more Options" button was available as soon as you clicked request signatures.

    With the updated version, you now need to enter an email address before the more options becomes available. It would be really helpful to have the more options available right away again. The majority of the items I use e-signature for require I adjust the type of signer (approver, etc) and the extra step of adding an email, then clicking more options slows down the work flow and is clunky.

    Hi,


    Thanks for providing your feedback. We will share it with the product management and let you know in case of any updates.


    Regards,

  19. Please implement a feature where the text / callout box fill and text opacity can be adjusted independently. There are several instances where I want a translucent box and fully opaque text, but I can't perform this independent action.

  20. I can't believe you can't download whole folders!! I need to migrate my Adobe Document Cloud to another Adobe account and I have to manually go into each of my many folders and download only the files.
