Adobe Reader DC Issues with Finder in Mac
Hi,
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC removes Finder's "Tags" and "Date Last Opened" if you save an edited PDF after removing "Text Highlight".
The following procedure can replicate the bug:
Download and open a PDF file such as this from Adobe’s website: https://learndownload.adobe.com/pub/learn/acrobat/edit-text-images-pdf-files.zip
In the macOS Finder, assign a Tag and open the file.
Go back to finder and check the Tag and the Date Last Opened
Go back to the pdf, highlight a line and save the file (first save).
Remove the highlighted text and save the file again (second save).
Now go to the Finder, the "Tag" and the "Date Last Opened" is gone.
It is on macOS Catalina version 10.15.6 and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Build: 20.12.20043.396433.

Please, Adobe consider fixing this bug. It has been there for many years. I am a licensed user and suffering a lot from this problem. I use extensively Finder tags, rather than directories, for my documents.
Losing tags after saving a PDF document with annotation is very bad. It is like my PDF files had lost their directory. The bug is still there in Acrobat version 2023.006.20360.
