  2. Since installing the latest Adobe Acrobat update, Acrobat frequently freezes and closes unexpectedly while viewing and editing PDF files. The issue did not occur before the update. Please investigate and provide a fix.

  3. I am experiencing a problem with Japanese OCR in Adobe Acrobat.

    When I run text recognition on a scanned Japanese PDF and select "Searchable Image", the page itself looks normal, but when I select and copy the recognized text, the result is garbled.
    For example, I get text like:
    「譛ャ譖ク縺ッ縲∵叛騾∝、ァ蟄ヲ縺ョ隰帷セゥ逕ィ縺ォ菴懈􈢐縺励◆縲∽シ夊ィ亥ュヲ縺ョ蝓コ譛ャ譖ク縺ァ縺吶」
    It should be recognized as:
    「本書は、放送大学の講義用に作成した、会計学の基本書です。」
    The same document works correctly when I use "Editable Text and Images" instead.

    Environment:
    - OS: macOS 26.6.2
    - Acrobat: 2026.002.21901 (Continuous Release)
    - App language: Japanese

  4. When Acrobat Pro opens a document the Page Controls toolbar is displayed. This is fine with me; however, it appears in a preset width. This width includes large blank areas to the right and left of the thumbnails. In order to reclaim those large, blank areas of the screen I need to resize the Page Controls toolbar to its minimum width every time I open or reopen a document. This frees up about 1 to 2 inches of display area. I use a 24-inch monitor in split screen mode, so this unused area is important to have for my workflow.

  8. By default there is a Share > Email > Microsoft Outlook option... but it always uses Outlook (classic). There needs to be a new entry that uses the newer Outlook, as there are efficiency issues with either needing to switch back to classic Outlook, or going through several more extra clicks/drags to get to the same result.

  9. Draw Connected Lines does not register clicks when Protected Mode is enabled

    Description:

    I am experiencing a bug with the Draw Connected Lines tool in Adobe Acrobat on Windows.

    When "Enable Protected Mode at startup" is enabled, the Draw Connected Lines tool registers the first point, but subsequent clicks are not registered. The line continues following the mouse cursor and cannot be placed or completed.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Open Adobe Acrobat with "Enable Protected Mode at startup" enabled under Preferences > Security (Enhanced).
    2. Open a PDF.
    3. Select the Draw Connected Lines tool.
    4. Click to place the first point.
    5. Move the…

  10. I am wondering if Acrobat could have a simple locked reading mode for younger kids. Not a whole new editor, more like one button that hides every toolbar, disables links outside the document and keeps page turning very obvious.The current full screen view is close, but its still easy to exit it or open something by accident. Bigger next/previous controls and an optional parent PIN to leave the mode would help alot, especially with preschool worksheets on a shared laptop. For the kind of very simple child-facing layout I mean, this preschool games page is a useful example: https://dad4kids.com/en/games-for-preschoolers/.…

  11. I am sharing a request from the Dad4Kids project: an optional keyboard practice view for learning PDFs. A thicker focus outline around the current link or form field, plus a small Tab / Shift+Tab / Enter hint would help beginners see where they are. Maybe let a teacher pick the outline colour too, not just its size

    Our typing games page at https://dad4kids.com/en/typing-games-for-kids/ is the context for this request. The games are seperate from Acrobat; the PDF use case is a short activity sheet with links to practice and a few answer fields. It should be clear which thing will…

  12. Adobe Acrobat is preventing Windows from automatically turning off the display and entering sleep.

    The issue occurs simply by opening Acrobat and leaving it on the Home screen. No PDF or other document needs to be open.

    Windows power settings are configured to turn off the display after 3 minutes on battery.

    When Acrobat is completely closed, running:

    powercfg /requests

    returns:

    DISPLAY:
    None.

    The display then turns off normally after the configured 3 minutes.

    When Adobe Acrobat is opened, with no PDF or other document open, running:

    powercfg /requests

    returns:

    DISPLAY:
    [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\152.0.4191.66\msedgewebview2.exe
    Video Wake Lock

    The display…

  13. Steps to reproduce the issue
    1. Open a standard text/vector PDF (approx. 2,000 KB).
    2. Go to Tools > Edit PDF > Watermark > Add, and apply a text watermark.
    3. Attempt to flatten or permanently bake the watermark into the document using standard workflows (e.g., Save As Optimized PDF, Print to PDF, or running the Preflight "Flatten annotations and form fields" fixup).
    4. Inspect the resulting file size and test the watermark object with the Edit tool.

    Environment (OS, other related application versions, etc.)
    Application: Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 (Classic Desktop Edition)
    OS: Windows / macOS (Note: You can…

  14. I use the read aloud feature for reviewing school articles and love the improvements you've made. However, it would be much better if you added a feature that lets the system skip references/citations (for example, when in parentheses) when reading aloud. Even better if you could choose the type of PDF to let the system know whether to read it in its entirety or skip footnotes, citations, smaller text, descriptors, etc.

  15. Inútil praticamente, abaixei para ser um aplicativo rápido e pratico, mas faz com que assine obrigatoriamente o plano para abrir algum arquivo, e depois disso tem que atualizar que demora 1ANO. e logo depois pede pra reiniciar o computador fazendo com que demore mais ainda, e perdendo a vontade de usar esse aplicativo por completo. Não recomendo para ninguém.

  17. Admin Stevenson Besorio (stevenson.besorio@affinity.co) from the AFFINITY - SIGN organization contacted Support through case E-002419253.

    The customer is requesting a feature enhancement to allow admins to create groups directly in Adobe Acrobat Sign from the Okta tile, eliminating the need to create groups manually in Acrobat Sign.

  18. Adobe Acrobat could not open file-file is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged.

    Initially, this was happening approximately once a month. Now, this is happening to several files on a daily basis.

    I am paying for a program that has lost most of my documents over the past month. Many of these documents cannot be reproduced.

    I am at a loss. I thought I was using solid, reliable software.

  20. Ref: Adobe Enterprise Support Case ID: E-002410520

    When you open a digitally-signed PDF file in Acrobat that has a sensitivity label applied by Microsoft Purview Information Protection you will notice that the file initially displays with the sensitivity label visible in the Document Message Bar, but after about 1 second that notification is replaced by the Digital Signature validation notification (refer attached screenshot). At this point the MIP Sensitivity label is no longer visible to the user, either in the Document Message Bar or indeed anywhere else in the menus of the Adobe Acrobat Pro application itself.
