  2. Issue began with update to latest version 24.005.20320 on or shortly after 13 DEC 2024. Each time I select "Add Image" to a document, the resulting "Open file" dialog box completely locks up. Cannot browse, cannot cancel, cannot Escape, must use Windows Task Manager to End Task on Adobe Acrobat.

    Always worked fine in the past, with prior versions. Last used successfully on 5 DEC 2024.

    Running Windows 11 Pro.

  3. I'm required to fill in a lot of forms with my signature and the date. And since the date always changes, I edit my signature image in PSD and then bring it in to Acrobat and make (or edit) a stamp. But in Acrobat the process of editing a stamp with a new image is grueling! ... 10 steps! (see attached).

  4. When trying to start the newest version of Adobe Acrobat 2017 for Mac OS on Catalina after logging in with the Adobe ID the Adobe Licensing Application hangs. See: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/acrobat-licensing-application-hangs-after-login-on-mac-os-10-15-catalina/td-p/10752118

  5. Please have an Adobe Acrobat right-click "Highlight and paste to new doc" option.

    For areas we select, we should be able to drop them ALL into a new word or pdf doc, so we don't have to keep manually going copy/paste back and forth like lunatics.
    This is SO easily automate-able in 2025, and I am shocked Adobe don't have it!

  6. I need to share a PDF of some confidential documents of our business that are integral to finalising a deal with a new partner. They need to view these documents before they can sign an agreement

    I can ensure that they cannot copy, edit or print the PDF, but I cannot stop them from downloading a copy and storing it locally. Even though this copy would also be uncopyable or unprintable they would be able to share their local copy with other people if they shared their password too.

    It would be a good feature to stop…

  8. Open PDF – note that Acrobat DC reports one comment in sidebar on right of window.

    This is on Acrobat Pro DC, up-to-date (version 2021.001.20155), Running on MacOS Catalina (v.10.15.7). Comments were made on Acrobat Reader DC for PC, (version 2021.001.20138)

    Expected result – should display the amount of total comments in the PDF.

    Observed result – only displays comments once those pages are navigated to or scrolled past.

    This has been reproducible on multiple versions of MacOS

  9. Over the last few months when we try to open PDF files on either programs, 'insufficient data for an image' error appears and the PDF file turns blank. We are scanning from a printer called Sharp MX-3640. It is happening to different PDF files.

  10. My Acrobat Pro was set to auto update and now suddenly I can't copy/paste special characters.
    For example special letters in Spanish, French, German, Danish etc. Instead of letters it just leaves blank spaces in the document I paste into - no matter which application.
    I have tested this on three different computers now (Mac), and they all have the same issue (Acrobat version 2021.005.20048).
    I tested three other Macs with older versions and they worked fine, like mine did before the update.

    The above was tested on Macs and it does not matter if it is Mac OS…

  11. Can no longer add an image to a PDF file, this is happening on multiple computers. All are running Pro DC version 2021.005.20060 with Windows 10 ver 1909. Get an unknown error when trying to add an image. This stopped working recently.

  13. Due to OCSP caching, Acrobat most of the time adds stale OCSP to digitally signed documents with long-term validation (LTV)

    PAdES-LT and -LTA profiles require signature to include qualified timestamp and OCSP's thisUpdate time must be AFTER signature time as certified by qualified timestamp - otherwise OCSP can't be used for signature validation.

    Thus, when adding LTV data to signed documents, Acrobat should always check:

    1) whether the signature contains qualified timestamp
    2) whether OCSP's thisUpdate time is AFTER the timestamp time (it's not allowed to consider any clock skew here since qualified timestamp servers and OCSP responders should be…

  14. I have an existing comment, and I use ... Copy Text to copy it.

    Then I go to another part of my PDF file, select the text and right click to use "Add Note to Text". In the comment text box, I right click and choose Paste Text (or alternatively, I press CTRL-V to use the default Windows "paste" mechanism).

    My new comment ends up with the copied comment text PLUS an extra carriage return (cursor is on a newline). That is NOT what I wanted! Why does it add the extra carriage return? If I am just trying to …

  15. I came from Acrobat DC, in DC, there's option "Copy selected text into Highlight, Strikethrough, and Underline comment pop-ups" in Commenting preferences. It really speeds up my commenting, because I need to search the highted text, especially in a long document, such as book. So, please add it back. Thanks!

  16. When opening a PDF exported from Adobe Illustrator in Acrobat Pro, text that has been converted to outlines (curves) is displayed incorrectly. The issue affects the visual appearance of the outlined text, which appears thicker or distorted compared to the intended design. This problem is visible only in Acrobat Pro and does not occur in Illustrator or some other PDF viewers.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Create a document in Adobe Illustrator with text elements.

    2. Convert all text to outlines (Object > Expand or Create Outlines).

    3. Export the file to PDF using standard export settings.

    4. Open the resulting PDF in Acrobat…

  17. Exporting to Word is USELESS as is. Here's a screenshot of the conversion. Added a page; reflow of text; fonts and styling are a wild guess at best; logo/branding unusable.

    Why even have this feature if this is the result? USELESS a hundred times over.

  18. Only 2 signature / initial images can be stored currently. Every time I want another signature I have to swap out an existing image for one from my files. It would be hugely beneficial to be able to maintain a much larger selection of stored signatures / initials for completing documents for multiple members of the household.

  20. Summary of the Problems: Search result snippets in an Advanced Search are often uninformative due to two distinct problems.

    Problem 1. The length of text snippet in each search result is too short.
    Problem 2. The search term occurs too "early" in the result snippet (that is, the term you searched for is the first or second word in the snippet--you see nothing that came before your term, which is often what you needed to know).

    Solution to Problem 1: allow the user the ability to customize the maximum size of snippets returned with search results. We have huge…
