PDF-Portfolios in Adobe Acrobat DC Pro
In the current version of Adobe Acrobat DC it isn't possible anymore to select an layout for the portfolios as it was in the earlier versions. An opportunity to enable that would be very practical and advantageous.

Tab order property / sorted list with java script
There is currently no way to get the tab order of fields in a PDF file via JavaScript. While it is possible to set it by creating fields in the desired order, there is no way of getting the order of already available fields – only alphabetically. Giving the Field object a new property or reading out another sorted list would solve this.
Also, this link is currently on 404:

Property Names
I think it would be a good idea to be able to name several property names at once, and be able to add a suffix at the end. So if you are naming 10 different form cells "Address" you won't have to type in Address01, Address02, etc.

Defect-Radio Button/Checkbox border disappears when selected
Behavior: When selecting one of the radio button options, the border disappears. Note that this appears to be affected by the field highlighting, which is enabled by default for Reader and Acrobat.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Setup a form with multiple sets of radio buttons, where at least two options exist for each set of radio buttons
2. In the Appearance properties tab for the radio buttons, set the Border Color to black and Line Thickness to "Thin"
3. In the Options properties tab set the Button Style to "Cross"
4. Open the form and select one radio button from…1 voteThis is as designed.
As you select the radio button, you will observe a light gray, beveled frame appears around each button boxes.
You can see the difference as you make changes in “Line Style” -
JavaScript Text Formatting of Auto Email
I believe there are no current JavaScript functionalities to format the text in an auto generated email or even the alert method. This could include bold, italics, or highlighted, in the actual body of the email. Are there any plans to implement this in JavaScript, or to allow HTML to be used for this?

Allow "use current properties as default" to include or delete decimal places.
When selecting a form field and want to use it for the default, it doesn't allow for the existing decimal place. So, I have to go back and change every number field to eliminate the two decimal default. Also, why can't we just have the default be without any decimals?
2 votesJohn
After you have created a form field that eliminate the two decimal default, select “Create Multiple Copies” available on “Right Click” to add more form field with the same default formats.
I hope this helps

Problem with IRS fill-in forms
Repeatedly, when trying to fill in US Internal Revenue Service forms in Acrobat DC Standard, I get a "bad file handle" message, and am unable to save the completed form. This did not happen with earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat and does not happen if I open the files in Acrobat Reader DC rather than the full version of Acrobat DC. I am using Windows 10.

Change Default Font
Why can I not change the default font in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro from Minion to what I want? The "J" in Minion looks like an "I" and I have a "J" in my company name which is causing problems because it looks like an "I". I know this has been asked before but why is there no answer. Ugh!

Reader DC crashes on drop-down list in a form pdf
When I try to fill this form: http://www.ru.emb-japan.go.jp/VISANDTOURISM/Visa/template/application.pdf -- which is a Visa application form at Japanese embassy in Moscow, Adobe reader DC crashes when I scroll down a Country/Region drop-down list.
I remember that this form have never had such problems in previous years (with earlier version of Acrobat Reader).
I have attached various information that may be useful.

Vanishing Adobe Pages
It's absurd when you working on a form and have to look up information to complete the form and then the form disappears. I realize Safari is a joke and the "built in" that drive you towards one of "their " products. But I am paying a monthly fee for playing hide and seek with documents?

Combined Pages, Double Sided Printing
I have several PDF files that I print regularly (together). Some are printed as double-sided, and some are printed as single-sided. When you combine PDFs into one document, there's not an option to keep some printing as double, and some as single. When you hit print and choose the option to print "Double sided," it prints double-sided for all. Wish there was a way to have them combined in one document, but have separate printing properties. May work-around is to add a "blank page" after the single page PDF, but that gets messy. THanks

Restore "Detect Fields" on-the-fly option for Create Form
(Acrobat Pro DC)
Suggestion: Add an on-the-fly "Form Field Detection?" checkbox above/underneath the "Requires Signatures" checkbox.
In previous versions of Acrobat Pro, on clicking Create Form, there was an on-the-fly option to "Detect Form Fields? Yes/No."
In DC, this option is changed into a default setting that always applies.
Accessing it first requires reading the fine print (which I missed the first three times); clicking the link to the correct section of Preferences, finding the correct setting, and then checking the box. In total, 3 clicks to change a hidden setting.
While I think it is a good idea to…

the ability to save specialised form fields for use from one document to another - currently retyping the drop down information
Currently retyping each drop down menu on each document prepared. Would be handy if we could save this drop down menu and add to each new form.

Please create a feature so that Microsoft excel can be used as a data source for merging fillable PDFs form.
Customers are asking for this feature, please incorporate an easy to use (without needing to write script) solution.

Why can't i find any real help?
Why can't i talk to an expert about the issues I'm having? All the tutorials are much too basic and scrolling through all the reams of posts is exhausting and never results in an answer. I need advice on how to save a pdf. file with radio buttons and fillable sections so i can send it to a client for completion. Why is there no detailed best practice on how to use pre-flight so that forms work for your clients?
