  1. When trying to save an edited .pdf, "the file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder" error pop-up is presented. I am the only user with it open, I have made edits to the document (not read only) and, in several cases, I am the creator of the document.

  2. There are many improvements in the new Acrobat that are great. If I disable new Acrobat to avoid the things I don't like about new Acrobat, I quickly miss the improvements. Therefore, disabling "new Acrobat" to avoid new design that I don't like is temporary at best because it is inevitable that the "old Acrobat" option will disappear. Here are a few things I would like to see improved in new Acrobat.

    It would be nice if the current tab color contrasted more with both the surrounding interface and other open tabs, but that is true in "old Acrobat" as…

  3. Strange behavior on Windows 11 taskbar when uncombined. As you can see in the attached video, the Adobe Acrobat icon is duplicated when shifting the windows to another monitor and stays like that until I close the app and open it again.
    It becomes very annoying when opening many files such as 5 or more. The taskbar will be full of Acrobat.

  4. When one clicks the highlight icon or comment icon (accidentally or on purpose) one is committed to doing more highlighting or commenting. The best one can do right now is click some other icon. One wants to go back to just selecting text. (The same should hold for other icons.)

  5. Update for version 2021.007.10096 is not working. I've tried it three times through the Acrobet Updater and once through the Creative Cloud updater. Each time it ends with: Error. Please try again later." I am using Adobe Acrobat DC version 2021.007.20091 running on Mac OS Big Sur version 11.6 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016).

  6. When specifying where to sign, a one-page document freezes at 60% or loads blankly. Everything worked fine yesterday. Update was the only thing that changed.

  7. Add the following:
    1. The time in addition to date stamp by the signature
    2. The name of program should be on each page as a header or footer, not only on the document history page.

    The state of Georgia now has their own background check form and requires these features in order for the form to be electronically signed.

  8. This has to be the dumbest user interface "upgrade" I have ever seen in my LIFE!!!! Tasks that I used to breeze through are taking me forever. The **** stamps won't turn off after I use it one time and only need it one time. I used to be able to copy text boxes and paste them. Way to foul things up!!!

  9. Provide a way to change/update the server location or file path for shared reviews after they have been sent out for review. There is no way to reconfigure or repoint the network directory location for Adobe shared review files. Once the Shared Review is sent out, Adobe loses all the comments if the server location is ever renamed or if supporting comment files are moved from their original location.

    After a pdf file is sent out for shared review, if the xml and bin files containing the data that is needed to show the comments from the shared review…

  10. Hello,

    Since the last update of Windows 10 (also involving Microsoft Edge update) a lot of PDF documents with more than 500 pages that we archived can no longer allow us to do a text search (CTRL+F) unless we restart an OCR analysis even though these same files did not need OCR analysis before this update (already analyzed and functional).
    The problem is that we can't afford to restart OCR for each of these files of more than 500 pages, it would take us days!

    Thank you for your help on this issue.

  12. It used to be that the comment filter would continuously update. You ruined that feature two years ago. I am waiting for you to put it back. Dealing with hundreds of comments is now clunky and painful.

  13. I can not find the hand tool with your newest update. Nor does it appear that I can type in a search for it. There is no icon in any of the bars. Nor does there appear any line in the preferences that addresses the hand tool. This seems like a very obvious oversight. Please address it immediately because reader is not nearly as useful without it.

  15. Can't seem to find a way to just use the mail icon and not have to click continue to email and attachment?
    Used to be able to click on mail icon and default email would auto-attach. this extra click is needed to select "continue" every time.

  18. After each update "combine multiple files" to 1 pdf doesn't work anymore. Typically Acrobat doesn't recognize/accept word.docs anymore. It used to be so easy. Go on windows explorer, chose files (word, pdf), right mouse botton, combine multiple files, done. Why are you constantly changing things that worked so well before.

  19. I really do not appreciate starting work and finding a whole new update unexpectedly when I have work to do! I do not have auto updates on and was not even signed into Adobe. Please stop updating without warning!

  20. We convert our emails to pdf directly from outlook and append these files with later emails. This creates portfolios that used to list emails. The new update organizes these emails by sender and inbox. However, there is not option to navigate around this organization. I can open the emails for a given sender, but cannot then navigate back.
