  1. There is not much to say except what is in the title: CTRL+C & CTRL+V DOES NOT WORK!
    If I want to copy some data from pdf I need to do right click and then click again to copy. This is slowing me down terribly. I think I will cancel my subscription and move to alternatives.

  2. I pay for a subscription. Why am I seeing "curated PDF spaces" on my "adobe home page" as, what I see, as a distraction and advertisement for TED

  3. After the newest update, the left side pane does not have options. I have several users in the office that noticed it yesterday. I did a fresh install, opened a document and the options were there. When I open a second document the options vanished from use. We can only add to the toolbar then use the functions. For example, selecting Organize Pages, when the edit menu opens the options are no longer there. The blurry screenshot below shows the pane before breaking, the clear screenshot is the pane without options after latest update.

  4. Offer two user interfaces for Adobe subscribers. One can be a simple interface for opening files, saving files, finding and using tools, all the important things for people who don't need all the ****.

    The second user interface can be the crapware that has more garbage on it than functional features.

    Who needs 60 Acrobat templates? That's what Word is for. The AI must be powered by Meta because its results are somewhere between illiterate, inaccurate or sixth grade.

    I know, it's so important before the bubble explodes to have AI on everything from toilet paper to Acrobat's interface. But…

  6. If you insist on having a search box in the title bar that constantly opens up on CTRL+F instead of the find window that works, COULD YOU MAKE IT ACTUALLY SEARCH THE DOCUMENT?

  7. When I'm searching my document I don't want to see results for Acrobat tools.

    In the image I'm looking for occurences of "v1" and don't see a single result, but see tools help. I'm almost NEVER looking for for that. It's a great capability but not all the time.

  8. As a researcher who frequently cross-references multiple PDF documents, I find it tedious to keep switching between separate Acrobat windows. A tabbed interface, similar to how modern browsers handle multiple tabs, would let me switch between open PDFs with a single click. This would also reduce memory usage compared to opening multiple full Acrobat instances and make the overall reading workflow much smoother.

  9. When using Ctrl+F to search a PDF, the matching words are highlighted in yellow, but once I click elsewhere the highlight disappears and I lose my place. I would like the option to keep search highlights visible while scrolling, similar to how browser PDF viewers work. Additionally, a search sidebar showing all occurrences with context would make navigating large documents much faster.

  10. Many technical PDFs, especially engineering drawings and CAD exports, contain multiple layers that can be toggled on and off. Currently, Acrobat Reader has no way to control layer visibility in the basic reader view—users must switch to the Pro editor. I would like a layer panel in the Reader sidebar so non-Pro users can show or hide specific content layers without needing to upgrade, making complex technical documents much more accessible.

  11. This is a bug. I can't capture a screenshot of it as it is with the cursor, but the orientation of my cursor is sideways on the screen. Additionally, when I try to make a form fillable and copy and paste the fields from an existing form, it generates all of the fields 90 degrees from where they are supposed to generate.

    One screenshot shows what it does when I try to highlight text. The other is what happens when I copy and paste fields into a new document.

  12. Tabs keep changing size and moving about when clicking on them, and it's really easy to accidentally close the tab by mistake - how do you get rid of this feature, as there's nothing under 'Preferences' - ie 'Settings' - about this, unless it comes under some jargon we don't understand. Also, if you move tabs about in a window, they tend to 'jump out' into new windows, which is ******* annoying. If you don't know what 'tabs' are, they're the rectangles at the top of the window, which you click on to move from one document to another. Tabs…

  13. There is no direct option to open a new tab for the same file. This helps in comparing different parts of the document. Such a formula written in an appendix at the end has the variable legend in the body of the document in the reference and abbreviation section. I need to see both of these sections in different tabs. If I do this by opening in another instance and drag it over to the original window. It stays there for some time and then Acrobat reader crashes.

  14. The version of Adobe Acrobat I’m currently using supports dark mode, which works great during normal reading. However, the problem starts whenever I switch to Liquid Mode. As soon as Liquid Mode is enabled, the interface and document background turn white again, which completely defeats the purpose of using dark mode in the first place. Since I spend a lot of time reading PDFs on my phone and tablet, especially at night, the bright white screen becomes really uncomfortable on the eyes.

    I really like the readability and reflow features of Liquid Mode because they make PDFs much easier to…

  17. The "Highlight Current Bookmark" option doesn't work. It is very useful when it works, so it should be fixed.
    Issue:
    I have the "Highlight Current Bookmark" option enabled, and working bookmarks in my document. If scroll to a certain part of the document, or jump to it by navigating search results, no bookmark is highlighted. If I then enable "Expand Current Bookmark", the corresponding bookmark is expanded, and the highlighted boomark becomes visible. But then when I scroll further, the highlighting doesn't change, and I need to click "Expand Current Bookmark" again to update the highlighting, even if I am…

  18. A hotkey to skip to the next Bookmark would be very helpful.

    I use fullscreen mode a lot to scroll through large documents with bookmarked chapters. I would love the ability to skip ahead to the next (or previous) bookmark without having to exit out of fullscreen to navigate the bookmark panel.

  20. Don't open bookmarks by default!

    When opening a document that has bookmarks embedded in it, the bookmarks panel opens automatically (and slowly) and takes up a third of the screen. It's infuriating, takes several seconds before it can be closed, and is completely pointless. Ditch it, or make it take up a tiny fraction of the screen space. I hate the way Acrobat prioritizes bookmarks over every other aspect of the interface.
