  1. Cannot Combine Adobe PDFs through Context Menu

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and when trying to use the right-click context menu to Combine Adobe PDFs into a single file, Adobe Acrobat DC opens up, but nothing happens for 1-2 minutes. This will happen whether I select one file, multiple files, a small file (100KB<) or a larger file (>2MB). I need to combine PDFs as part of my daily duties, and waiting literally hours every day to combine my PDFs is horribly inefficient.

    Versions: Adobe Acrobat DC Version: 21.007.20099, running Windows 10 Pro Enterprise (GC) 1803.

  2. I spent a long time editing text boxes and typing new text into my document in Adobe Acrobat. I went to export it and many letters went missing, causing all kinds of messed up text. This has taken so much time from me, I will now be looking at other technologies for creating and editing my documents.

  4. I have never used an app that was as bad as this one. First of all, the UI is dogshit. And for some reason it lags when I open a folder and when using a folder. How does it lag? It's not my computer, because on Word and Google Docs, which are superior in literally every way, it doesn't do that. This app can't hand even one folder to be open at one time. Trying to edit a document is literally **** on earth. I think I have had more fun at funerals than using this app. Whoever made this…

  5. I sometimes need to selectively edit a portion of a pdf, but when I click on Edit PDF, the OCR process messes up the format, or changes fonts to the point that it would be virtually impossible to recreate the "messed up" portion of the PDF. I realize that this is very likely due to the fact that the document was not originally created in Acrobat, but was probably scanned or converted from a document created from, say, MS Word, or similar program. But, as a former programmer, I think that it would be possible ... i.e.,…

  6. I can no longer simply click where I need to add text and start typing. The PDF is now covered in boundary boxes that do not accept new text where I need it to be. One click and my entire document is a jumbled mess that looks like the letters are falling off the page. I am now having to click in the bottom corner of the page, start typing, and then drag and move the text box to the correct location on the document. Then, I can complete adding the information needed. I need the box to be higher…

  7. Croatia has been recognized by World for more than 2 decades and you guys still didn't implement your softwer to recognize all alphabets from multiple countries just like Croatians ć, č, đ, š and ž. OCR failed miserably not recognizing any of these letters. It's time to do smth about it guys...

  8. Had to revert to the older version to be able to add new text boxes. I'm trying to add text to PDFs of documents saved during the "Print to PDF" feature. When doing so, the bounding boxes are placed in seemingly arbitrary locations, and any attempt to edit them HORRIBLY messes up the formatting. My job requires I add text near the title of the document, but the default bounding box takes up about 4/5ths of the printable area. This hasn't been an issue for me before, as using the "add text" button on the top ribbon opened the…

  9. I need help about some significant problems that arose after a recent Adobe "Upgrade" - which is really a "Downgrade" in Acrobat DC Professional.

    I've searched other posts on the Community for this issue on Windows and did not find any (there were some similar Mac problems).

    It seems crazy to me that Adobe managed to mess up simple things like scroll bars in a recent "upgrade".

    There are no scroll bars on my version of Adobe Acrobat and I've tried some of the other threads on the community. Adobe will also no longer remember the last view settings.

    I…

  10. You can manually convert EML file to PDF on Mac, open the mail in a mail reader like Thunderbird or Outlook go to the Print (Ctrl+P) option, and select "Save as PDF." Alternatively, just drag the EML file into a browser (like Chrome) and print it as PDF.

    But this method has some drawbacks Each EML file must be converted separately, Email templates may look very ugly in PDF and Large numbers take long repetition.

    Batch conversion and attachment retention demand professional-grade DRS Softech EML Converter Tool. The tool specifically caters to the conversion of multiple EML files without an…

  11. I LOVED adobe a few years ago up until recently, where everything is so overcomplicated and impossible to use that I would rather inscribe my documents onto a stone tablet and give it to my boss. Expansion and upgrades just to seem flashy while serving no purpose have ruined this application. Additionally, why is it impossible to save things to my desktop?? It wasn't an issue for 30 years but now there are 5 buttons to save something to my cloud and the desktop option is still MIA in my eyes.

  13. I pay for the Adobe CC. I love all the apps but Acrobat, which is now unusable. Not because I can't figure out the interface, but because the program is so buggy as to
    be essentially unusable. Just trying to type text in a text box causes everything to go haywire and suddenly part of the text I've been typing at the bottom of the document appears all over in random places on the other pages of the document. Sometimes as I'm typing it stops working altogether and I can no longer access the text box. It will even crash…

  14. This is not an Idea, but a very bad bug. When processing the attached PDF using the preflight profile
    Sheet Offset CMYK (GWG 2015), the glpyhs are randomly placed on the pages, rendering the PDF unusable.

  15. Fields become "ghost fields"; they still show up in the sidebar on the right and you can still open their properties. However, you cannot select the form field and type text in it. You also can't change the properties, like name and tooltip fields; when you try to, and click away from the field you just changed, they revert back with no notification. This happens every time I open this file in a different application, such as an Accessibility plug-in called CommonLook, and has happened with other files too. Fixing tags in the plug-in causes forms to break in Acrobat,…

  16. Why oh why? Why Acrobat are you relying on Apple Colour Picker?

    Adobe makes some of the advanced Graphics editing software in the world.

    Please improve the colour picker for Acrobat. Just add the Photoshop or Indesign or Illustrator or..... Aftereffects...... or maybe even premiere colour picker to acrobat.

    Right now on a mac I get forced to open the apple rectangle properties box, that then forces me to open an apple colour picker dialog box.

    And I can't just hit enter to close it I actually have to go click on the tiny little Apple picker X to close…

  17. When I edit a document, I do not necessarily want to edit existing text. I do not want Acrobat to do an OCR process on the document and create uncountable text boxes (that can easily be messed up), when all I wanted to do was either crop the image or add a text box. Please allow the OCR conversion to be toggled off.
    Also when scanning, if you go into an option like increase resolution, all of the changes (like selection of document size) made on the previous screen are lost and have to be entered again Too time…

  18. Hi there! Can you please fix this issue?Whenever I am saving any Microsoft file (ie Powerpoint, Word) as a PDF in the 10.3.5 recent update it is really messing up my file. The fonts are all messed up, the hyperlink is incorrect, etc. Please fix this ASAP!

  19. I've had two instances so far where being able to reopen the document would have been advantageous instead of canceling the contract and starting all over again.

    The first time was when the signer filled in the wrong information and the second time was the last signer, the official signer was unable to complete her signature, something happened and only two letters of her name was recorded on the document.

  20. When you use Advanced Search, there is an option at the bottom to choose your sort order: you can sort by Filename, Date Modified, Location or Relevance Ranking.

    The default is Relevance Ranking, which –to me at least – is by far the least useful, since, unlike the others, it basically reorders the files you’re searching in with every search, so you never know what order your files are going to be in.

    And there’s no way to change the default (as acknowledged by an Adobe employee here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/advanced-search-default-sorting-acrobat-pro-dc/m-p/9914022).

    And then even if you choose another option, Acrobat FORGETS…
