Yesterday I applied updates to both Acrobat Pro DC and Office on macOS 11.6.2, so I'm not sure whether is regression was caused by Office or Acrobat.

Office was updated to version 16.58 (22011201)
Acrobat was updated to version 2021.011.20039

Now:

1. When I launch PowerPoint, I get an error (see attached image): PowerPoint couldn't load the add-in /Users/admin/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content.localized/Startup.localized/PowerPoint/SaveAsAdobePDF.ppam

Indeed: the SaveAsAdobePDF.ppam file no longer exists.

1. Word no longer contains the Acrobat add-in in the ribbon. If I open User Content.localized/Startup.localized/Word/linkCreation.dotm and enable macros when prompted, the Acrobat add-in loads into that document, but that's it. It does not load into any other documents.

Hello, I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on a recent iMac running OS Catalina version 10.15.1. I'd like to embed a simple and short Audio file. I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat PRO DC from the cloud. I tried recording a note, that did not work out all. Then I recorded an audio file in Garageband and saved it as an .aif file (I saved it as an .aif file because none of the other formats would load up) and this prerecorded .aif file uploaded from my hard disc into my cursor successfully (I can actually play the file in the little dialogue box with the controls play record stop and when I close this dialogue box and click OK I can see the sound icon has loaded into my cursor) but then frustratingly when I click down to paste the sound file onto the PDF it doesn't paste it. It keeps it loaded up into the cursor. I tried and tried and it is so frustrating as this should be such a simple thing to do! Do you know why this may be happening? is this a bug please? Can it be fixed? I so would like an answer to this! I am frustrated to be paying for the latest software and not be able to do such a simple operation in this day and age and having to come on a forum to find a possible solution. Thanking you in advance. Best regards.

This is a variation on an existing function in Adobe Acrobat Pro that appears in Tools - Document Processing - Web capture - Append All Links on Page. This function seeks out a linked file or webpage, converts it to PDF, and then appends it to the end of the host PDF file and then internally links/bookmarks the link to that page.

Instead of appending the links to the PDF file at the end and creating an internal bookmark link to the page, this feature would do the same thing but instead attach the file or webpage in the link as a file. This can be done manually via the Tools - Content Editing - Attach File option. It would be helpful to do able to have this done for an entire page or document. Useful options would be to convert the target link to PDF first, or just attach it as a native file.

I work with high volumes of legal discovery electronic documents that I need to file as affidavits or books of documents. eDiscovery programs find the files, but putting them into a formatted and indexed court submission still takes some manual formatting.

Right now create a hyperlinked table of contents in a spreadsheet or wordpro that link to each of the files I need. I convert it to PDF then I can use the 'append all links on page' to convert a hyperlinked Table of Contents into a linked document, but it can be hard to know what file I am looking at since it all becomes one big file. By attaching the file and having the link open that attached file (in a new tab in Reader) I can see which discrete document I am looking at, and all the documents are in one PDF. PDF portfolios do not work for this task as the layout options are primitive and do not read in many PDF readers. Other options would be also to bulk amend/append the file names in the attached list (to add numbers to them) and enable the ability to search all the attached files in the base document search. FIle size is not really an issue.

I'm working on trying to create a javascript to do this, but it would be a super value added feature natively in Acrobat Pro. If anyone has a batch script or action that does this, or can offer some tips, please comment below and thank-you in advance.

AcroPro users since version 3. I still use Acrobat XI on a second PC often because it enables certain functions I can't get in DC Pro.

Cannot Combine Adobe PDFs through Context Menu

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and when trying to use the right-click context menu to Combine Adobe PDFs into a single file, Adobe Acrobat DC opens up, but nothing happens for 1-2 minutes. This will happen whether I select one file, multiple files, a small file (100KB<) or a larger file (>2MB). I need to combine PDFs as part of my daily duties, and waiting literally hours every day to combine my PDFs is horribly inefficient.

Versions: Adobe Acrobat DC Version: 21.007.20099, running Windows 10 Pro Enterprise (GC) 1803.

One would expect that the 'combine files' would work quickly for 200Kb files, but it freezes Windows Explorer and crashes if any interaction is made with it.

With WORD (2016) and PDFMaker:

When creating PDF maker and asking it to convert the Document's Headings / Styles to Bookmarks; It does not include some characters in the bookmarks.

Characters such as Non-Breaking Hyphen. There may be others also.

[ Special characters are inserted into work using INSERT > SYMBOL > MORE SYMBOLS > SPECIAL CHARACTERS ]

Also the Case of text characters is taken from STYLE information, rather than from TYPED characters (I.e. from the FORMATTING, rather than the DATA). If for example the style specified all text in UPPERCASE. Then the bookmarks will be also in UPPERCASE.. Even though in Word Table Of Contents and Document Map it is not in all Upppercase and use the typed characters (not STYLE's UPPERCASE transformation).

With Microsoft WORD (2016) & PDFMaker:

With an Image with Transparency: .PNG File. Placed against a dark background (paper colour) to show the white outline that occurs around the image.

Occurs in .PDF files when No image resolution downsampling is set, and image types are stored in NON-lossy image formats, e.g. NONE, ZIP, JPEG 2000 (LossLESS)

It occurs at all zoom levels. But disappears when zoomed in to the maximum zoom level.

When the resultant PDF File is later, either DownSampled or LOSSY Image comprressed (Using PDF Optimiser), the white Outlines become part of the Image and are much more Visible.

Attached are files that show this bug: PDF, DOC, PNG, PDF (DownSampled & LOSSY compressed)
