  1. Hello Adobe Team,

    I use Adobe Acrobat extensively throughout my workday and appreciate the tabbed interface. However, I would love the flexibility to open certain PDFs in new windows while keeping others in tabs within the same window.

    Currently, the setting to open PDFs in tabs or new windows is global and requires a restart to change. It would greatly improve the workflow if there were a way to:

    Right-click and choose "Open in New Window"

    Or, more preferably:

    Use a modifier key (e.g., Shift + Click) to open a file in a new window

    Adding this level of control…

  2. There is a lot of software in the market that helps to backup Yahoo Mail data, but the MailConverterTools Yahoo Backup Tool is the best choice. Using this top-notch utility, users can export Yahoo emails to EML, PST, MBOX, MSG, etc. It also allows users to migrate Yahoo Emails into Gmail, Office 365, G Suite, and IMAP. With its date filter feature, you can choose a specific time range by setting a start and end date to back up only the emails you want. Apart from this, the software is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS.

  4. Legitimately everyone who has ever posted on this forum about this feature hates it. GET RID OF IT ALREADY! Nobody wants or needs the bookmarks tab to open by default. It is the most irritating thing on the planet!

    We can only move the Acrobat toolbar on single monitor. Can you please arrange it so that it can move on dual monitors?

  6. I would like to suggest adding multilingual search support or built-in translation from English to the OS default language in Acrobat's feature search.

    For example, when typing "memo," the search results like those shown in the attached image should appear. This improvement would greatly enhance the user experience by reducing the need to manually switch IME (input method editors) and make searching more seamless and efficient.

    Image Description:
    The search box in the image contains the Japanese word "メモ" (memo). The search results displayed include options such as "Add Comment," "Insert Text," and "Attach Audio File," all shown in Japanese.…

  7. We pay you a subscription fee to have an app for our work, we are NOT beta testers, if we are going to test something you have to get a discount. There should be an option to remove that stupid button.

  8. SUGGESTION: When opening a file on a Mac from within Acrobat or Reader have Acrobat or Reader permit the open file dialog box show both pdf files and fdf files.

    Acrobat and Adobe Reader programmatically declare that the open file dialog box shows only PDF files, and all other formats, including FDF files, are greyed out. This requires the user to first click "Show: “All files” in order to access an FDF file, and for users who may do that frequently it is a pain. I can't think of a good reason to exclude FDF files from the open file…

  9. Observation
    If the User navigates to Adobe Acrobat and opens a .pdf and then selects File they will notice, when the menu twirls down, that one of the options is "Export a PDF". However, when the User selects this menu option they will observe that there are 16 separate options for exporting a of which none are an actual PDF.

    Expected Results
    When the User navigates to File they should see that the menu, to export a file, says "Export A File"

    Comments
    As a secondary note the Acrobat File Menu has zero continuity with regards to sentence case. 'As'…

  11. Please make an option in the preferences to be able to hide the Bookmarks pane permanently for all files that open in Adobe. It is not user friendly for that pane to open and having to close it for every single document I open. When I Googled a fix for this issue I've seen MANY complaints about this issue, some going back to 2022! This feature of the pane opening every single time when not needed, honestly makes me hate having to use Adobe.

    Please fix this ASAP!!! Thank you!!

  12. For the love of all that is holy, stop with the pop-ups! Now I get a prompt to Edit PDFs every time I open a file. I already have Pro, there's no way to say "stop showing this". Acrobat gets LESS usable with every update. You all should be embarrassed.

  13. Allow users to permanently hide the navigation pane when opening all documents. Allowing uses to set this specific to a certain document is only slightly helpful and only to people that work with the same documents over and over again, allowing for a default setting for all documents makes much more sense

  14. I never use Bookmark ... but here it is every time I start Reader (taking up half of the screen with my document scrunched down accordingly). Not to mention the nav buttons hiding down in the corner on a right-hand tool bar. Are you people mashugana?! It's like you've never seen a Windows nav tool bar (well, before the little morons "ribbonized" things).

    1. How do I get rid of the auto-loading Bookmark panel?

    2. How do I get my nav buttons back into the top tool bar where they belong?

  16. The most recent AI update has caused significant issues with basic document processing functions, such as combining PDFs, opening files, and even moving them between screens. As a workaround, I’ve been viewing documents in preview mode through File Explorer or online, but these methods don’t allow me to make edits or updates.

    Tasks that used to take 5–10 minutes are now taking close to an hour, largely because I have to carefully manage the application to prevent it from freezing or crashing. In some cases, I’ve had to manually end the task just to regain functionality.

  18. I am coming from Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 and started using Adobe Acrobat Pro Continuous Release (latest and greatest?). My only real complaint is that Pro 2017 would keep the last thumbnail size and panel width when opening new documents. Our office uses Adobe to extract documents using the page thumbnail feature, and now we will have hundreds of employees having to readjust the thumbnail size/panel width for every new document. This is going to add hours of work per day on a feature that Adobe removed for... some reason? Please bring back the feature or add an option in…

  19. We created a new Group Name called AdobeProDc in the Admin Console, to which we moved all the users. This group had the Adobe Pro default profile assigned to it.
    Upon doing so when users started activating the license at their computer the About screen now just displays 'Adobe Acrobat'. If we were to simply assign the Adobe Pro license directly to a particular user, the About screen displays 'Adobe Acrobat Pro"

  20. I need to edit numerous files at a time, using specific tools. For each document that I access, I have to reselect the tool.

    In InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, the tool selection is independent of the file. i.e. if I have the Type Tool selected in InDesign, and create a new document, it remains selected. If I open 50 files, the Type Tool remains selected until I change it to something else.

    In Acrobat, the tools revert and do not stay selected, resulting in thousands of clicks a week, just to navigate to the tool I need to use on…
