1. How to turn off automatic OCR when editing a scanned document?

   I want turn off automatic OCR when I go to edit a scan. Really slowing my project down having to revert to image on every page when all I need to do is rotate pages on the old documents I'm working on.

   With the latest release, we have added a checkbox that will turn off the automatic OCR.

   1. Open any scanned pdf.
   2. Go to Edit PDF.
   3. Wait for OCR to complete.
   4. On the right hand pane, uncheck the “Recognize text” option. (Alternatively, if you see a button ‘Revert to Image’, click on it).

   This will turn off the auto-OCR feature. Now, Acrobat will not run OCR automatically. Acrobat remembers this setting so that you do not have to uncheck it again.

   Let us know if this helps.
   For more information about this, visit https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/edit-scanned-pdfs.html

2. Adding a DeSkew only tool (without OCR or image compression)!

   Come on guys it's 2017! ;)

   Thanks for reporting your concern.
   Raising a feature request for you. We will get back to you once this request is prioritized and implemented.

   Thanks.

3. MUST NEEDED TWEAKS TO SAVE TIME

   Too much time is wasted by doing the simple little things and I want to address the little things that make PDF editing a big time consumer.

   1) When copy and pasting anything from images, Text and especially New Text Fields they should paste right on top of their duplicate by default location.

   A) It's easier to locate them
   B) Way too time consuming moving it back to the default location so then you can continue on and just keyboard arrow key them over and into place where you want
   It wastes so much time especially when you have to do multiple

   2) After Copy & Pasting and it's now on top of of the duplicate from 1.
   if you wanted to click and drag it into place of where you want it so it's in line with the original a soft mouse lock should happen so you can just drag it up or down left or right or within 5 pixels it snaps back on the line with the closest edge your dragging.

   A) It's very time consuming spending way too long to get things in line by dragging since keyboard arrow keys come close or too far over if you wanted it to look neater
   right now you have to zoom right in and drag it pixel perfect, I hate it.
   B) Get things in line much faster and complete PDFs faster & neater
   C) More functionality
   D) Saves time with Text Fields to get moved pixel perfect straight onto an underlines

   3) When selecting a Text Field or multiple Text Fields then Copy and Pasting so now there is a #0 on the end then
   clicking off the selection will make them stay in their spot in the Field order.

   3.1) When selecting a Text Field or multiple Text Fields then Copy and Pasting so now there is a #0 on the end then...
   using a keyboard arrow key arrow or clicking and dragging them into place
   will make them appear at the bottom of the page in the field order.

   3.2) When selecting a Text Field or multiple Text Fields then Copy and Pasting so now there is a #0 on the end...
   then adding a non duplicate Text Field to the selection then using a keyboard arrow key arrow or clicking and dragging them into place
   will only make the Copy and Pasted appear at the bottom of the page in the field order.

   In the above 3 scenarios could they please all stay where they are in the Field Order?
   A) Since I am using Manual order, nothing should move in the order automatically
   B) Time consuming moving them back into place after
   C) Keeps things together and organised

   4) Instead of just clicking and dragging to make a selection then holding CTRL to unselect or individually select by holding CTRL then select one by one

   Please add the ability to hold SHIFT then drag any Text, Text Field Field or Image to make a selection. Holding SHIFT then clicking shouldn't deselect your selection, letting go of SHIFT then clicking should.
   Anything that touches the selection while using SHIFT should just get added to the selection

   A) So much more helpful and easier making selections because you can control what you want selected better
   B) Right now it's very time consuming and double handling by trying to select right around specifics then having to deselect what you don't want one by one instead of just be able to select what you want
   B) More functionality for the basic task of making selections

   5) We have Edit PDF which can edit Images and Text Boxes
   We have Prepare Which can edit Text Fields but images should have its own tool with separate features like:
   a quick black and white filter, Eye dropper to select a colour, Paint bucket to fill in large areas quickly, changing the size (Wish it didn't lose quality)

   A) No longer accidently click then unintentionally and sometimes unknowingly move an image to later discover that it doesn't look right to waste time trying to fix that was fine to begin with
   B) keeping the different type of edit separate
   C) Can add more tweaks if its in it's own section

   6) Ability to drag an image into Acrobat on a specific PDF and it will load there instead of a new PDF

   A) It's just a faster method of getting an image if you can already see it onto the PDF instead of attaching an image then finding the location and selecting it
   If you wanted it on another PDF Create new PDF then drag it in on a new one.

   7) Better way of handling large gaps between words in a Text Box usually happens on the last sentence to make them fit so its not seriously time consuming every time just to get it to look right.

   A) I end up giving up with how messy the spaces look just to save time fiddling around to make it perfect which is very annoying.

   8) Ability to merge and unmerge text boxes manually without the text moving

   A) Saves time if you want multiple text boxes to contain the same format or edit by selecting all in the one text box
   B) Saves time if you want to move them all at once

   9) For Radio Buttons please add an option for the whole inside circle to be filled in instead of a dot

   A) Personal preference as it saves time moving the inside dot bigger to cover the area inside then copy and paste it to tweak further for different sizes

   10) Hitting CTRL + F brings up Find if you search a word "The" you can find the next word "the" if you are in the edit PDF tool it should automatically go in the text box if applicable
   you could just hit DELETE on the keyboard and it will remove it or you could start typing and it will make changes instantly. Also it should be highlighted whilst editing until you click next or get out of find

   A) Saves time clicking then dragging on text that's already selected
   B) Speeds up editing

   11) Ability to extract fonts from a PDF instead of going to another program or finding the font then to download and install just to do this makes me question why?

   12) "Access all tools on the left-hand panel"
   Please move them back to the original spot on the right like how it was.

   Just seeing this makes me not want to update.

   13) Why does this site not recognise new points if they have a period at the end? had to end with a ")" for the numbers to change otherwise they were all 1.

   Thanks for checking this out, please help speed up these little time consuming tasks.

   Too much time is wasted by doing the simple little things and I want to address the little things that make PDF editing a big time consumer.

   1) When copy and pasting anything from images, Text and especially New Text Fields they should paste right on top of their duplicate by default location.

4. Flatten transparency results into false handling of a smooth shade and damaged result

   When flattening the attached PDF with Acrobat DC, the shade (which is covered by a vector object and therefore only visible as some kind of a frame), becomes visible.
   This is clearly not the expected results and therefore a bug.

5. Worst program provided by IT

   We receive computers from our IT department with Acrobat DC pre-installed. It is the very first thing I remove because it a) takes up over 2GB of space and b) runs resource-consuming, useless background services. As a point of fact, uninstalling Acrobat leaves behind those useless services. Those services do nothing for the user but consume resources. Acrobat DC itself is bloated and a huge pain to view documents with. Adobe completely takes it users for granted and produces low quality software as a result.

7. Portfolio PDFs open blank in Protected View

   Steps to reproduce:
   Set Protected View to "All files"
   Fully Close Acrobat
   Open a Portfolio PDF by double clicking on the file.

   Environment:
   Windows 10 Enterprise version 1909
   Adobe Acrobat DC Pro 20.013.20064

   Expected result:
   Portfolio PDF opens without issue. The "enable all features" button appears at the top and can be clicked. The list of files is shown at the top and the document at the bottom. This is observable in version 20.012.20041

   If Protected View is temporarily disabled, the PDF opens as expected.
   If Acrobat.dll is replaced with a copy from 20.012.20041, the PDF opens as expected.

   Protected View cannot be disabled due to V-79381

9. new acrobat for mac very slow

   Acrobat 2023.006.20380: Since upgrading to the 'new' look acrobat, it is much, much slower, to the point is is basically frozen. Any document over 10 MB is unusable. I often deal with image-rich documents >50 MB and these are impossible to navigate and edit, whereas in the previous version this was totally normal/easy. Please fix this or revert to the previous version until the new version actually is practical for users.
   Thanks.

   (on MacOS Monterey 12.7.1).

10. OCR Scan showing odd artifacts, numbers clipping into one another, and spaces and/or dashes in the underlining.

    We have to use Editable Text and Image for our national database to add our header on the top of pdf documents filed in our database.
    Regardless of scanner used, OCR is not is not seeing the underlines as a solid line. It looks like a bunch of underscores. This results in the numbers above it to become distorted. Sometimes the amounts are not readable.
    here are times the line comes through looking like this: _----------__
    Are settings are 300 dpi, black and white document, OCR on / Editable Text and Images, front side. We have changed the dpi to higher (600), with slightly better results, but the scans take twice as long and do not always guarantee a good scan.

12. Enable Copying Highlighted Text on Mac w/ Cmd+C

    On a Mac in Default Mode, it should be possible to copy highlighted text by using the keyboard shortcut.

    Now, all you can do is select the highlighted parts and right-click -> Copy Text. Why shouldn't it be possible to select the highlighted parts and press Cmd+C?

    Doing the extra clicking work is very labor intensive when working with a lot of previously highlighted paragraphs.

14. Text Box should have Opaque option - Transparent is imposed by default which allows Background image to be visible in text box

    Add a feature to the Add Text function in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC so that a user can choose Opaque for a text box and avoid a Background image being visible through the text box. Also, the user should be able to choose a solid color to appear behind the text in the text box. This feature is so basic that it should have been in the product from the start. Photoshop Elements has had it for a long time!

16. Export to Microsoft Word

    1. Open a PDF document with Arabic content.

    2. This PDF was generated from InDesign CC2017. Arabic fonts used is a good True Type and OpenType fonts. Macintosh 10.11.2 / Acrobat DC Build: 15.23.20056.213124

    3. When exporting to MS Office format, we expect to have a decent conversion as we see with PDFs that has English content.

    4. I opened resulted Word document in MS. Word on Windows, Text Edit on Mac, Apple Preview. The result varies, but generally Arabic text doesn't convert properly, most words scrambled and fragmented.

17. Bug Report: Organize does not show image

    If I am working for several hours in acrobat dc, the organize feature will show only blank pages... no content. I have to close the program and restart it to view the images. It will work for about 20-30 minutes and then do the same thing. UGH.

    Need Info  ·  Vivek Chandra responded

    Hi

    Sorry for such a delayed response on this and for the trouble you were going through.
    I tried using the tool with several files and could not see the issue.
    Can you please try upgrading your Acrobat to the latest version and see if that resolves the issue for you.

    If not, can you please share the file(s) where this happens.
    This would help us in investigating the issue faster.

    Regards
    Vivek

    Unbelievable how Adobe can render their software more and more miserable over decades and finally totally ruin it. This Acrobat Kindergarten Thing is utterly unusable. Not that this wasn't to be expected:

    Acrobat DC SO HORRIBLE it's making me want to cry:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/acrobat-dc-so-horrible-it-s-making-me-want-to-cry/m-p/7112345

    The latest incarnation, in addition to the completely unusable user interface, is so unbearably slow that Adobe can just throw the whole mess in the trash and start completely over. This is the worst and lamest bloatware I have ever witnessed.

19. Add comments to PDFs in Microsoft Teams (or OneDrive or Dropbox)

    Working in Microsoft Teams it is needed to be able to make comments in the same PDF-file (online) like we can do in Word and Excel-files, so the team can see each others comments, and add their comments in the same PDF (without having to download and upload, which will result in several PDFs, and will not be very efficient).
