Saving hanging
I and several of my coworkers are having Adobe Acrobat DC hang on us while saving files. It can be while just normal save (Command-C) or when doing a Save As.... Apparently the file gets fully saved, because when we reopen Acrobat after a force quit, and say No to recover, the file seems fine. But Acrobat will hang or freeze, the progress bar stays up, and eventually the OS says Acrobat is unresponsive. We need to force quit it to get back to restart Acrobat. Trashing preferences or changing where we save the file (resident drive or server) makes no difference. One of my coworkers says it doesn’t seem to happen with PDFs from InDesign, but if they came from MS Word or from some proprietary system used by our company, this has been happening over the last couple of weeks.
Mac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan
Acrobat DC 2017.012.20095
Architecture: x86_64
Build: 17.12.20095.239572
AGM: 4.30.71
CoolType: 5.14.5
JP2K: 1.2.2.38798
Thank you for looking into this.

We have noticed a few weeks ago that this issue was no longer happening!
Thanks for getting this fixed! -
Hi,
We fixed the issue and the latest available updates should not have this issue.
Please let me know if you still face issue in this
Thanks

Yes, Ayush, this is exactly when it happens. Whenever the Tags panel has been used or accessed, then the Save process always hangs Acrobat's interface to eventually non-responsive. The document fully saves, but the application hangs or freezes.

Hi Timothy,
i believe the issue with the Hang after you Save any pdf is observed only if you have the tags panel opened while saving or if you had the Tags panel opened before for that pdf even when Tags is not the actove pane currently.
We have reported this to your engineering team and i will get back to you with the fix/workaround for that shortly.
Thanks

One more thing about this hanging while saving the file.
If we have worked in the Tags panel, by say, tagging annotations (like links), and then we change the view of the left panel to something else, such as the Bookmarks, it will still hang while saving. Isn’t that curious? -

If I collapse the Tags list, but still have the Tags panel elected/open, the save still hangs.

My further exploration on this hang does confirm that it is when the Tags panel is showing that this hanging occurs.
I can have the Page thumbnails panel showing, the Bookmarks panel showing, the Order panel showing, and these all allow a complete and quick save. But when I have the Tags panel showing, then it hangs.
When I select say, the Bookmarks panel, then collapse the panels, then save, it does not hang.
When I select the Tags panel, then collapse the panels, the save hangs. -
Hello,
Thanks for Reporting your concerns to us and apologies for the issue that you are facing here.
Can you please confirm me, that whenever you are doing the Save operation on any pdf in Acrobat, by any change do you have any of the Left hand Panel (like Tags, Thumbnails, Bookmarks etc. ) Expanded ?If yes, Can you please check once without expanding the Left hand panel for any pdf and then try to save and check if issue persists.
Also Please let me know the Left hand Panel Name which is expanded in the pdf.
We will surely look into the concern reported by you.
Thanks
Ayush
