  1. Instead of having a drop down menu for Fit to Width Scrolling and Fit One Full Page, place them side by side so that I don't have to click in and out, in and out, in and out.

  2. A user's viewing preference should be able to override the creator's preference. I should not have to adjust my zoom preference every single time I open a new document or even select a new page from the bookmarks menu. The creator choosing a micro 43% zoom standard is stupid and forcing the reader to go through a bunch of extra unnecessary steps when you could just make the user preferences override those of the creator in terms of viewing formatting.

  3. Changes to the toolbar that would actually be useful — allow users to choose the positions of each button they want in the toolbar (preferably by drag & drop); give the option to show/hide labels for the buttons; provide for at least 2 rows of quick tools, and for small and large buttons. Allow the user to decide where the thumbnail and bookmark panes are positioned — left, right, or even below then document pane. I hope the new Acrobat Pro changes to these features are short-lived — they are going the wrong direction.

  4. The frame that pops up when editing forms (at the right) is a fixed width. Which means, if you have long field names, you have to scroll horizontally back and forth to review and edit.

    Would be great if this frame was made adjustable!

  6. Please make it easier to disable settings permanently. Incuding AI pop ups.
    Also the tools menu automatically pops up on the left of the screen. And now bookmarks show up on the right. Both obscuring the document.
    I have to manually close them both to view my document. Fine if you are only viewing one document, but really annoying when viewing several. I can't find the options to get rid of them completely. Please make these settings easy to find and use.

  7. When zooming with the scroll wheel, Acrobat freezes and I get a spinning beach ball. The files I am working with are not large, but they do consist of lots of lines/content streams sometimes. If anyone can offer support for this, it would be greatly appreciated. I encounter this issue multiple times a day and it appears to happen only if I am trying to zoom with the wheel right after it opens and Acrobat is still trying to load the creative cloud profile, or when I have been working in the file for a period of time and try…

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
    Kindly share with us your machine details and Acrobat version.
    Also please provide us some sample files on which you are facing this issue

    1. Since the indexing will index the all multiple pdfs. Type ahead search should be supported. Instead currently the user has to type and enter search for the search results.
    2. Since the indexing will index the all multiple pdfs. Type ahead search with number of hits found should be shown before hitting the search
    3. Searching should be as fast as google. 10,000 pdf files of 100kb each and type ahead search should be less than a second
    4. Other than scroll bar for navigating the results there should be a easier way to filter the search results.
    5. Grouping of folders wise doesn't…

  8. Please restore this functionality - in XI it was in Edit/Preferences/Page Display. There is no way to know the page size without hovering the mouse in the lower left corner. Odd-size page sizes hang print jobs, wasting time and resources. It was easier to quickly scroll through 100+ pages and look for the oddities. Without this, we have to check every single page.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    Thanks for your response. Please write us in case you face any issue.

    Best Regards!

  9. In Adobe Reader, don't use the text color from the document in for the text in the bookmark pane UI, as it may make it hard to read depending on the selected theme. Instead, use the same color as the rest of the UI. Or at least provide an option.

  10. This version is unusable due to unstable flickering, with slowed down response to page scrolling, freezing search, or black rectangular shapes covering the whole page or partially the content.
    At this level, there are no ideas to be suggested since the very basic functions are affected

  11. I download quite a few PDF files, typically ordinances/statutes/other regulations. Many files are quite long. Is it possible to automatically bookmark the chapter headings/articles/sections/subsections/etc? If not, it would be a very, very attractive feature to add. Even if it requires a few clicks to get the settings right. I'm sure adapting some of the redact features for this purpose would not be too big a stretch for the developers. Maybe?

  12. In Acrobat 9, the "comments" window displayed the COLOR of the corresponding sticky note (there was a small sticky note icon in each window that showed the color of the corresponding note).It was possible to quickly view and navigate to related pages/sections of the PDF even if the page was not directly viewable; I could quickly scan for all comments that were associated with a RED sticky note, or a BLUE one, etc, by simply scrolling through the comments -- it was not necessary to view the actual page of the PDF to check the color of the sticky note.

  14. It would be really great to open documents with much larger thumbnails, similar to how Apple's Pages software shows them.

    I download a PDF of a daily newspaper, which often has nearly 200 pages. I'm only interested in a couple of sections, so I like to quickly scan the thumbnails.

    • Currently I can increase the thumbnail size, but it's a multi-step process that needs to be repeated several times.

    • Enlarged thumbnails display text in a rough, jagged way, it should be much smoother.

    • When scrolling thumbnails with a mouse, enlarged thumbnails float horizontally in a really annoying way. I'd like…

  16. per the design of Adobe Acrobat Pro I always have to manually adjust the size of the page down to 100% (which is set at 189%)while opening the PDF. Then when I reopen it it is once again at 189% and once again I have to adjust the size. I have to do this manually every single time which is very annoying. While it is at the 189% size the pages scroll automatically by themselves and I have no control of the cursor. It's only after I shrink it down to 100% that I regain control of scrolling through the…

  17. Hundreds of thousands of businesses use flowcharting software (such as draw.io, Visio, LucidChart, etc.) that allows you to create HORIZONTAL flowcharts, project management swim lanes, and more.

    Unfortunately, Acrobat currently only allows VERTICAL "Single Page Continuous" scrolling in the Page Layout options.

    For multipage horizontal documents, it's hard to track the right side of the previous page with the left side of the current page.

    I'm proposing an additional Page Layout option called "Single Page Continuous Horizontal" (and maybe rename the current option to "Single Page Continuous Vertical) that allows us to scroll HORIZONTALLY through ALL pages in a document.

  18. I don't want the forced tools on top, including Home, Tools, Document, and several of the page display icons. I'm a genius and I'll offer a brilliant idea: let users customize their own screen!

    When the window isn't maximized, there's insufficient room for all the tools, and the default unwanted ones prevent the ones I need from being displayed! When the + and - zoom icons aren't shown, they're also not even listed behind the 3-bullet icon on the far right! This is obviously a bug. It's further difficult since Acrobat refuses to zoom when using Ctrl-scroll on a "high-precision"…

  19. The website is not accepting my vote on another idea (although I am logged in), so I'm adding more ideas.
    Multiple issues:
    1. The new icon-based styles for editing or commenting are completely nonintuitive; other than printing/saving/zooming/scrolling from the other toolbars, I don't know what any of the buttons mean.
    2. Please move some buttons from editing to commenting or vice versa, or combine their toolbars, or rename their bars. It is ridiculously hard to figure out how to add a rectangular shape in the new Acrobat Pro. It was easy in my last version of Acrobat Pro
