  1. Hello, I was wondering if you all could make a system for Excel or CSV data to be imported into interactive elements like combo boxes and list boxes. Its a real pain to manually input an array of items one at a time, and also not have the ability to edit them in their place. The current process requires deleting an element in the list, and retyping it when updating the list. Imagine if having to make a combo box that included all 50 states or capitals of every country.
    I also ask for this a feature in Indesign, but…

  2. I have been trying to send a document as an email for over an hour and it gives me an error message. Thank God this is not an emergency. Your system charges and then it does not deliver.

  3. Return to Acrobat from another app without having to choose from the 2 dozen open PDFs, just go to the one I was last working with.

    The PDFs often have many meaningless names from the scanner, such as SKMC30821051311590.pdf, SKMC30821051706480.pdf, etc.

    Running my mouse over the images to pick one can be helpful, but most PDFs are 17x11 format or larger drawings, so a little thumbnail doesn't always help because I lose so much detail due to large format. Also, if they are not my own engineering drawings, I won't recognize them easily anyway.

  4. MacBook Pro (2019, 16"), OS 10.15.7. Acrobat DC stopped working. When I click app to open, it crashes. Unistalled and reinstalled w/ CC, restart, still didn't work. Uninstalled from Finder (recommended on Adobe support), cannot reinstall. Restart again, still cannot install or open. CC says app is installed, update available, but unable to open. Help.

  5. Hello,

    I have a "problem" with the OCR technology in Acrobat Pro 2017 for Mac. When I edit a scanned file with OCR ("Searchable image", 300 dpi), the words and letters are recognised correctly, but the character spacing (when selecting the words) does not match the original font width (see screenshot). I noticed that this problem also occurs with Acrobat Pro 2020 for Mac, but not with the Windows version. On the other hand, this problem did not occur with Acrobat Pro XI for Mac.

    I would be very grateful if you could solve this problem. My Mac is running…

  6. Having to open many PDF files from a folder, and having to process each in file in its filename order, Acrobat does not group / sort the tabs in order. Selecting multiple files, will create the tabs in whatever order the program wants.

    The tabs have to be dragged into order manually. This is a constant gripe with the software. A simple button to sort the tabs by file name, ascending or descending, would make life a lot easier and quicker when having to work on hundreds of files a day.

  8. Defaults should be based on regional settings in Windows, a few examples:
    A) Adobe PDF printer Page Size: Letter vs A4
    B) Acrobat Preferences > Measuring (3D) > Use default display unit: Inches vs Meters
    C) Acrobat Preferences > Measuring (Geo) > Use default distance unit: Miles vs Kilometers
    D) Acrobat Preferences > Measuring (Geo) > Use default area unit: Square Miles vs Square Kilometers
    E) Acrobat Preferences > Spelling > Dictionaries for Spell Check
    F) Acrobat Preferences > Units & Guides > Page & Ruler Units: Inches vs Millimeters

  9. When PDF is double clicked Adobe will start and reopen all existing PDFs in new instance.
    The serialization should be on instance basis i.e. opening a PDF document should not open already opened files in another instance.

  12. When using comments it would be great to be able to turn off and on the date and time stamp feature instead of the unchangeable default of the date and time stamp always being on.

  13. I think there is a design flaw in your programme so that when someone has finished say editing a document the Save button does not immediately display a “save as” option. You have to right click on Save to see that option in a sub menu.. At the very least your FAQ should include this as an answer the question how do I save my files? In addition when Save alone is clicked there is no indication of where the file has gone and it does not appear in any of the categories of file shown on the webpage.

  14. I want to be able to expand the entire pdf document quickly by a specific percentage - say 150% or 175% or 200% - for easier viewing. Editing every section is much too cumbersome. This will also make viewing more accessible for people with vision problems.

  16. Windows 10 64-bit. Latest Acrobat Pro DC. Every restart (or Acrobat update) it keeps calling up the window to change the file type association for PDF to Acrobat, when it is ALREADY set as Acrobat, and will not clear itself out of the way (other than to X out of the window). There is no reason the 'change file type associate should be coming up if it is already set properly, both in file extension properties and in the registry.

  17. I have clients that want to attach my drawings to their pdfs but I protect my drawings from editing. They want me to unprotect them and allow editing. I do not want to do that. I would like adobe to have a security feature where you allow attaching to other documents but you do not allow editing the document that is already protected. Clients are very angry that I wont give them the password.

  18. I launch acrobat thru command line or thru scheduler and pass it a bpdx file as a parameter. It launches acrobat but does not start indexing the pdf files pointed to in the bpdx file. My files and command lines are correct - they were working in March 2021. Not working now.

  19. When I add links to a PDF, I do NOT need help EVERY single time I create a link; it would be MUCH more convenient if the default selection were NEXT, not HELP. In this manner, I could use enter to select next, whereas now, when I inadvertently click enter thinking it should be the default, it seems to be common sense - oh, wait, that no longer exists, my bad. I guess never mind, no commonsense, why bother, right?
