1. Make straight edges on highlights an option in Commenting preferences

   Highlights are currently rounded at the edges, which makes it difficult for editors and compositors to tell whether the highlight applies to surrounding punctuation, spaces, and other narrow characters. Additionally, the blue boxes that appear around the highlights when they are clicked on often extend past the text that was actually selected, which can cause further confusion for those who need to edit things precisely.

   Straight edges on highlights would allow for a clearer and more accurate view of what is being commented on. Please make this is an option in the Commenting preferences.

2. Freehand ink option for annotating PDFs using a stylus/pen, current pencil tool is glitchy.

   I have some PDFs that I'd like to be able to draw on, either feedback on work for students or filling in templates. The pencil tool currently available doesn't do this smoothly (view screencapture example https://youtu.be/gr8UZYddzBo ). I'd like to be able to draw/write freehand like I can on a powerpoint presentation, so I can send notes and feedback to my students more easily.

3. Please overhaul UI to make the mark-up tools easier to use/find

   The UI in Acrobat is not very user friendly, in fact I would go so far as to say it's distinctly unfriendly and not condusive to getting work done. I have spent a lot of time modifying the UI, pinning mark-up tools to my ribbon etc. to make it remotely productive to use however when I see some of my less tech savvy workmates using Adobe, they dont have the tools available to them, they dont know how to change mark-up properties (i.e. CTRL+E to bring up the properties panel) and in general the software is restricting their ability to do their work. Why is the software so convoluted? Please simplify the UI, improve the mark-up tools (seriously the markup tools look like they came from MS Paint 2004) and generally make the software more user friendly.

   For context, I am a structural engineer and the main things I use Adobe Acrobat for are to view, create, combine PDF's as well as marking up PDF's for structural drawing reviews etc. The view, create, combine tools work fine but the mark-up tools are ridiculously basic and not user friendly.

4. PDFMaker causes Character Encoding failure

   Steps to reproduce the issue:
   1. Type text in any of the below affected scripts in Word:
   - Devanagari
   - Bengali
   - Telugu
   - Tamil
   - Arabic
   - Gujarati
   - Kannada
   - Malayalam
   - Myanmar
   - Sinhala
   2. Export the document to PDF with Acrobat > Create PDF.
   3. Run the Accessibility Check.

   Environment (OS, other related application versions, etc.):
   OS: Windows 10
   Word: 2102 (Build 13801.20360)
   Acrobat Pro DC: 21.001.20145

   Expected result:
   Characters originally encoded at valid Unicode codepoints in Word should not cause Character Encoding issues in Acrobat Pro DC's Accessibility Check.

   Observed results:
   Some Unicode characters in Word do not seem to be converted to the right codepoint in PDF, particularly combining characters. This causes Character Encoding failures in Accessibility Check.

5. Renaming of (copied) formular fields

   The function to automatically and customizeable renaming of formular fields is needed!!!
   F.E.: If you want to deploy 500 checkboxes - you have to copy them and change name by clicking every box or deploy them one after another. This is absolute horrible.

   It would be very helpful to have a function which can do this:
   - Mark the fields you want
   - Change name with a given name and f.e. growing numbers for the marked fields.

   Please integrate soon. It wastes so much time.

6. Tab Color

   Set tabs to colors when working with more than one file helps to differentiate and sort. EXCEL allows tabs to be colored. Similar to that. Thank you.

7. Allow Digital Signatures before and after requesting Fill & Sign signatures

   For regulatory reasons, we are using token-based digital signatures with embedded (time server) timestamps to sign PDF files.

   When using Fill & Sign to request external signatures, we need to be able to:
   (1) digitally sign the PDF document (using our tokens) before it gets sent out, without the signature being discarded by the Adobe Sign service, and
   (2) digitally sign the PDF document (using our tokens) again, after all signatures have been collected

   I was very surprised that this was not possible.

8. Permit all characters in email addresses for Digital IDs

   In Acrobat Pro DC, when adding a new Digital ID, there is an attribute 'Email'. Please allow all email addresses in that field. Do not arbitrarily limit characters in email addresses to: a-z A-Z 0-9 . @ - _

   Today I want to use an address, from+dsig@example.com, using a '+' character. This is perfectly legal in my email address, and I should be able to use it in a digital ID.

   Beyond that, email addresses are no longer limited to a subset of ASCII Latin letters. Addresses in many scripts are now legal, e.g. Hindi ईमेल-परीक्षण@सार्वभौमिक-स्वीकृति-परीक्षण.संगठन or Arabic
   تجربة-بريد-الكتروني@تجربة-القبول-الشامل.موريتانيا or Chinese 電子郵件測試@普遍適用測試.組識.澳門 or many others.

   How to reproduce:
   In Acrobat Pro DC (2021.001.20135) on macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra, do Acrobat Pro DC… Preferences…. Signatures… Identities and Trusted Certificates, More… The Digital ID and Trusted Certificates Settings dialogue appears.
   Click on the "Add Digital ID" icon (picture of an ID card with a "+" on top). The "Add Digital ID" dialogue appears.
   Select radio button "A new digital ID I want to create now", and press Next >. The Add Digital ID dialogue becomes a form with 7 fields.
   In the "Email Address" field, type an address containing a "+", or a non-Latin character. Fill in the other fields reasonably. Press Next >.

   Observed behaviour: The following alert dialogue appears:

   Acrobat Security
   The 'Email' attribute contains an illegal character.
   Only the following characters are permitted: a-z A-Z 0-9 . @ - _

   Expected behaviour: the Digital ID creation process continues, accepting the email address.

   Discussion: Digital IDs are stored in files with the extension .p12.
   They are presumably PKCS #12 format archives. RFC 8399 "Internationalization Updates to RFC 5280" specifies how to store such international email addresses, and my own little address with a "+" sign, in digital IDs.
   I have a Digital ID in a .p12 file, which was created by a previous version of Adobe Acrobat Pro in December 2020, which has "+" sign in the email address. Thus Acrobat's limitation on email address characters seems to be a recent regression.

   In Acrobat Pro DC, when adding a new Digital ID, there is an attribute 'Email'. Please allow all email addresses in that field. Do not arbitrarily limit characters in email addresses to: a-z A-Z 0-9 . @ - _

   Today I want to use an address, from+dsig@example.com, using a '+' character. This is perfectly legal in my email address, and I should be able to use it in a digital ID.

   Beyond that, email addresses are no longer limited to a subset of ASCII Latin letters. Addresses in many scripts are now legal, e.g. Hindi ईमेल-परीक्षण@सार्वभौमिक-स्वीकृति-परीक्षण.संगठन or Arabic

10. Option to toggle Form Field Highlight on/off at document level

    Please provide an option to disable the blue form field highlighting for a particular pdf form, rather than expecting all users to change this in their preferences. It is frustrating to design a form (in either InDesign or Acrobat Pro DC), then preview the form and discover blue highlighting everywhere. Changing the preferences only changes it for one user not all users who open the file. For a plain B&W form, the blue highlighting may look fine but for a more custom form, it often ruins the design - this is very limiting, please give the form designer more flexibility to customise the design and override user preferences for that document, to ensure it consistently displays as intended. Please remember that there are many users of Acrobat Reader who just use it to read pdf documents - they never change their preferences and wouldn't even know how to change the field highlighting settings. Let the designer have the freedom to design a user-friendly form that doesn't rely on auto-highlighting to show which fields a user should fill in. Auto-highlighting can be useful but we need the option to toggle it off without needing to use Javascript (as this only works when the file is viewed on a PC not a mobile device). Thanks

    This new version looks so childish! Not professional in appearance at all.

16. copy text from PDF including changes (e.g. made with "strikethrough" or "insert" tools)

    In the commenting mode for Acrobat DC Pro, there are "strikethrough", "replace", and "insert text" tools, among others.

    When I select and copy some text (for example, to count the words or rephrase it in another window), it copies the original text and disregards anything crossed out or inserted. This means I have to re-do all the changes by hand.

    It would be great if one could copy the text in a way that incorporates the changes, similar to how you can opt to copy text with or without formatting, in some programs.

17. Reader 2021.001.20138 suddenly running form javascripts incredibly slowly and freezing

    A complex form that ran fine under older versions of reader, is now intermittently running some of the onboard javascripts incredibly slowly and appearing to the user as freezing (Not Responding).
    This does not always occur, and occurs during different operations (using different document level scripts).
    I am using Windows 10 Pro 19041.804 (most recent) and have experienced it on Reader 2021.001.20138 32bit and 64bit versions.

18. Acrobat Reader DC Freezes up

    Acrobat Reader DC freezes up. this started about 2 weeks ago. Ehen opening a PDF some time i can scroll for a short while then it freezes or some times it freezes as soon as it is launched. I've been through all of the suggested steps nothing so far helps. what next? I don't get an error code. Operating system is Windows 8.1. It worked fine on windows 8.1 earlier so I assume an update was pushed that was not compatible with my machine.

20. Reflow View - file corruption, pages gets "stuck" in reflow View or change orientation

    Have had problem with several files becoming corrupted by using Reflow View. Two things happen:
    1. Some pages get "stuck" in reflow even after closing and reopening the file.
    
    2. The format of some pages changes to Portrait or other design changes occur.

    Need Info  ·  AdminRachit Jain (Software Engineer, Adobe) responded

    Hi Rae,
    I checked the details provided by you. There is no issue here. If you open the original file and click on Actual Size in menu, you will see the same exact view that you see after reflow. The view is actually shown in actual size after reflow.
    Keep the view in Zoom to Page Level to see the full page view.

    Please confirm if this resolves your concerns.

    Thanks
    Rachit
