  1. Hi,
    the new design (at this date: 02.01.2026) makes it very difficult for me to distinguish between the individual functions.
    With the help of the colored tools, I could immediately see which function was behind which design. Now without the colors everything looks the same. There are simply too many tools to remember all the differences in the icons.

  2. The "Highlight Current Bookmark" option doesn't work. It is very useful when it works, so it should be fixed.
    Issue:
    I have the "Highlight Current Bookmark" option enabled, and working bookmarks in my document. If scroll to a certain part of the document, or jump to it by navigating search results, no bookmark is highlighted. If I then enable "Expand Current Bookmark", the corresponding bookmark is expanded, and the highlighted boomark becomes visible. But then when I scroll further, the highlighting doesn't change, and I need to click "Expand Current Bookmark" again to update the highlighting, even if I am…

  3. Please add a global setting in Adobe Reader that prevents the Bookmarks Navigation Pane from automatically opening when a PDF is opened.
    Currently, this behavior depends on individual document properties, which means users must manually close the pane every time or rely on inconsistent workarounds. This is disruptive for those who rarely use bookmarks.
    A simple preference option (e.g., “Always hide Bookmarks pane on open”) would greatly improve usability and workflow efficiency.
    Thank you for considering this enhancement.

  5. Please. You guys gotta stop with the popups. Adobe used to be pro tools, and now every time I have to open Acrobat there are 3 different popups or blinking things saying to try something A.I. or try a useless new tool. Please.

  6. I had the opportunity to use digital services during a campaign to support the rights of people from vulnerable groups. At the time, I was involved in a case involving the unfair dismissal of an acquaintance, and we were seeking a platform where we could collaborate and attract media attention. On the website https://freedomforallamericans.org/tech-solutions-human-rights-campaigns/, I came across a selection of solutions that help coordinate actions and quickly disseminate information. There, I found a service that makes it easy to collect signatures and send them to the authorities. It seemed like a simple form, but when we saw dozens of…

  7. Please either get the Preferences/General/Messagews from Adobe - "Show messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat Reader" checkbox to work.

    Presently, it resets as soon as I close the app

    OR

    Add a choice to "Do not show me this message again" onto the "Try Acrobat Pro with a 7-day free trial" popup.

    I have zero interest in Pro and if this persists (like all the other dev wet dream 'improvements') then I will be looking for alternatives. I certainly don't want another AI infection tampering with my workflow.

  8. When switching language while acrobat reader is the active window(alt-shift shortcut) the application freezes - happens on every PC - I've tried with Cyrillic alphabet, not sure if it's the same for all alphabets.

  9. The Convert Webpage to PDF, and Add Webpage PDF functions were completely destroyed by Adobe about 9 months ago.  I requested fixes a couple of times and eventually Adobe restored these to much better functionality about a month ago.  I responded that the functions were now good.

    BUT I have since found that once the PDF is created from a webpage, there is no text recognition within the PDF.  When I try to use the OCR recognition function, it responds "could not perform recognition because this page contains renderable text".  

    The consequence of this is that highlighting of individual words…

  10. When I open up Adobe Acrobat, I get spammed with numerous popup windows that immediately show up when I start the app. The activity I was going to do gets interrupted, and I get mad, and all of a sudden I'm sending this feedback to Adobe, before even finishing said activity I was in the midst of completing.

    Please do not show many popus at the start showing any X Y Z feature. Maybe WAIT a little, have the popup appear a little later, when I am already using the app.

  11. It would get a great idea to actually make Fill & Sign work. After 12 versions and years of offering this tool, how great would it be if it actually worked in a bug-free and intuitive manner. Just upgraded from 11 and tried to fill a form. When you hover over an entry field, it seems to find the location of text entry and puts in "Type Text Here." Sometimes you can type text in the entry field. Sometimes you can enlarge or make smaller the text. Sometimes you can go back and edit the text. Sometimes it just puts…

  12. Why, why can't I do this. It takes me absolutely forever to do PDF accessibility and testing. I can only use one input device at a time, and this makes testing extremely cumbersome.

  13. Stuck with QuickBooks Payroll Error PS038 while trying to run or update payroll? This error usually appears due to stuck paychecks or connectivity issues with the server. Use the verify and rebuild data tool to identify problems, then send all pending payroll data. If the issue persists, reconnect your payroll subscription. QuickBooks payroll can run flawlessly again with the right fixes applied at the right time.

  14. Using latest MS Word and latest Acrobat DC on latest MS Windows.
    Creating PDF from docx file, turned off all accessibility features in Word and Acrobat. Settings maximised for best quality.
    Since last week, the export is rendering some fonts as Black in the PDF, whereas in Word they are Navy blue, or white with navy background.
    Rebooted, installed updates, tried other colour combinations, checked all Word and Adobe settings for accessibility. I have opened the PDF in other viewers and the problem persists. Images are all fine, it's just the font colour which changed.
    This was working ok one…

  15. The current OCR engine in Adobe Acrobat is outdated and often fails to recognize text accurately, especially with complex layouts or low-quality scans.
    Please consider integrating a modern AI-based OCR engine, similar to Google Cloud Vision or ABBYY FineReader, to significantly improve recognition accuracy and multi-language support.

    The advancement of AI-based OCR is especially critical for users in non-English regions or those working with complex scripts. The current engine’s accuracy drops significantly for non-alphabetic languages, which directly impacts both operational efficiency and fairness.
    Many users would greatly benefit from more robust, AI-powered text extraction.

  16. Adobe bug reporting wouldn’t allow me to post images and files. All are at
    Cross link to similar report at https://github.com/jdaw1/placemat/issues/171

    Consider the PDF placemats. Observe lots of complicated clipping. This was printed successfully from Adobe inside Chrome, but unsuccessfully from Adobe desktop app — major failure of clipping.

    First image is of the Sandeman circle on the first page, as correctly converted to bitmap by GraphicConverter.

    Next is as correctly printed from within Chrome version; Version 137.0.7151.120 (Official Build) (64-bit).

    Then as wrongly printed from Adobe Acrobat 2025.001.20531, 64-bit.

    In both cases, printed to a OKI C822 printer using…

  19. Read aloud is malfunctioning. It will start okay, but then begin spelling words and not pausing between words. It seems that it can't change locations of reading the text with repositioning the cursor in the document. Is there a fix or update available for this?

  20. The "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary." banner is disrespectful and a disgrace. My document only had 6 pages and this popped-up. How you shove AI tools in our faces has gone beyond all dignity. Also, this banner "eats up" monitor space and therefore my document is displayed smaller than it could have been! Add an option inside preferences to prevent this banner from appearing.
