Customize individual tool selections in toolbar
Allow users to customize the toolbar- add some (not all) drawing markup tools, comment tools, editing tools, highlight tools, without having to add an entire group. There are tools in a group that I never use, but I must select a group and wait for it to load, rather than seeing all my frequent tools at one time.

Emailing PDF Files
I do not like the fact that I cannot just simply send a PDF as an email attachment any longer with the new upgrade 10-3-18.
Having to go through all the steps of going the the share process is very inconvenient when you have to send hundreds of different PDF through the course of the day.
6 votesHi,
Could you please follow the steps in the below article to use the email icon to send PDF directly as email attachment.

why is it so hard to save a document to my computer?
I don't want to save the document in Word, I just want to save the PDF in "my documents" on my computer. Is there no way to do this? Or if there is what is the magic spell I have to put on Adobe to do that. Cannot access the Adobe Cloud- whatever that is- to attach documents.
5 votesFor saving your document on your computer you can follow the below steps.
1) Go to file menu and click on save as
2) On the subsequent screen, select ‘Choose a different folder’ button
3) You’ll be able to browse your local desktop folder structure after this
4) Save your pdf to the desired location. -

Bring back exploded view options
Can we also bring back the separate view styles (fit to width, fit a page, etc) instead of burying them in a submenu as well? Hiding useful navigation is not good UI/UX.
4 votesThese options are already available as floating menu,
just select ‘Move page controls out of the toolbar’ from top tools.
A new floating widget will appear, it contains all your desired options directly.

Why use a persons birthdate for account verification!
Quit asking for a person's birthdate for account verification. This is not necessary and only places the customer at more risk. You do not need this specific information to validate eligibility.

Open multiple files from Recent list at the same time
When opening Adobe Acrobat Standard DC, it shows you a list of Recent Files that you have used; however, you can only open one of these files at a time. Similar to the ability to select multiples files in other programs of holding the Control key to select more than one file or holding the Shift key to select a range of files, it would be useful (and a standard Windows function) to be able to select multiple files and open them all at the same time. If reviewing the files in Windows Explorer, you can open multiple files at…
3 votesYou can select multiple files also from the recent list, by clicking on the checkbox and also by holding the control key to select more files.

Reduced Size PDF
Save as Other>Reduced Size PDF in DC - Adobe's prior versions of Acrobat reduced the file size much much more. DC Reduced Sized files are still too huge! It's not true they can't be reduced more in size because outside apps are able to do this without any difference in readability for basic use.
3 votesI would request you to use the “Optimize Scanned Pages” feature of Optimize PDF application. Please follow the below steps :
1. Open your PDF file and go to Optimize PDF application.
2. Choose the “Optimize Scanned Pages” option. Press “OK” on the next dialog with default settings.Regards,

Acrobat file save is blank
I'm using Adobe Acrobat CC 2018 on an iMac using macOS High Sierra version 10.13.2. When I edit or create a pdf file, the save or save as commands bring up a BLANK field instead of the traditional save or save as field. I can't save any files. The only way to get the edited file or binder is to email it to myself. Is this something I can fix or is it a bug on CC 2018?
3 votesPreference on MAC is available under “Acrobat Pro DC” menu.
Please give it a try with the latest version of acrobat.

Give an option for the size a PDF opens.
Revise so saved PDF files opens 100% instead of huge views like 137% Maybe there could be a option in settings for this feature.
3 votesYou can try Click “File” and select “Properties.” Click the “Initial View” tab and select “100%” from the Magnification drop-down menu.
You can save/close and re-open the PDF in 100% magnification always.
If you need this to be a global setting for all PDF, you can refer to https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/adjusting-pdf-views.html

Want to selectively delete individual lines from the RECENT LIST without deleting the actual files from my HD or Document Cloud.
Want to selectively delete individual lines from the RECENT LIST without deleting the actual files from my HD or Document Cloud. As it stands now the Recent List gets so long as to be a nuisance. At least allow clearing items after a certain period of time.
2 votesPlease try the following steps after updating your Acrobat to the latest version:
1. On the recent file list, Select the individual files using the check mark on the left.
2. After the selection you’ll see the option “remove from recent” on the right, select the same. -
feat req: Zoom previous
Zoom previous is a shorthand reference for go back to the previous view. It is an existing feature in numerous graphically intense systems like CAD, MCAD, ECAD.
It is a convenient and efficient way to restore the view. Reasons to use it are: 1. correct a zoom error or 2. zoom in to examine something closely and zoom back out to an overview

Add option to keep documents from moving/resizing Acrobat window
Some PDF documents seem to contain meta data content that's causing Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe Acrobat Reader to move/resize their program window when such document is opened.
This behaviour is rather annoying and it may lead to accessibility issues.
Please, either stop Acrobat/Reader from moving/resizing their program window when opening a document containing such meta data information, or provide an accessibility option in Preferences to optionally have Acrobat ignore that meta data information.
2 votesHi,
The issue faced by you is due to the setting of the document set by the user. Please see the following setting in the document :
1. Open Document→File → Properties → Initial View Tab → uncheck Center Window on screenPlease make sure the setting is not checked in your document to avoid the issue.
Thanks

Adobe Digital Edition
This is not about Adobe Reader it is about Adobe Digital Edition. As there is no entry for ADE I chose the first one on the list and hope that a category for the ADE is created.
The problem is that Adobe Digital Edition is a Digital Reader and that you can't actually read your books through loss of access to the file or it appears that way. I assumed it was this as I cannot access your file either so assumed there would be nothing wrong with that file. I am using it through my council library membership which…2 votesI am assuming your concerns have been resolved. Let us know otherwise.
