  1. The floating toolbar seems purposed for newer users. It would be helpful if the following was done with the floating toolbar.
    - Enable the toolbar to be transparent
    - Allow the toolbar to be docked on the right panel
    - Enable the toolbar to automatically minimize when not in use
    - Allow users to remove the default tools

    A few features that are quite nice about the toolbar:
    - Contextual menus are immediately activated and brought into view once a tool is selected
    - Various related tools can be pinned to the floating toolbar
    - The toolbar can be moved…

  2. Editing auto generated form text fields for a long document is a NIGHTMARE.

    why on earth would i have to MANNUALY change EACH and every field?

    what's the use of the preferences being set to a font i prefer for it just to be reverted back to Helvetica?

    Either you unify the font preferences or just make a section for form preparation font to allow us to choose for it as well

    it's insane that i have to waste so much time editing tons of fields on just switching fonts when a simple solution of a "one button click" is…

  3. Nothing should be mandatory in terms of floating elements, and users should be allowed to customize placement of buttons on every toolbar including floating toolbars, and customize whether to display them always/as set by document, with traditional arrangements always available as default options.

  4. I have a password protected pdf. I can open it with the correct password. Then I tried to remove the protection going through below steps.

    1. Tools
    2. Protect
    3. Advance options
    4. Security properties
    5. Changed security method to "No security"

    At the fifth step, I got a prompt to enter the password again. I entered the same password I used to open the document, but it says the password is incorrect.

    I checked for non-functioning keys of my keyboard and Caps Lock key. I am sure I entered the correct password.

    I am using Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) 22.003.20282

  8. Expandable fields in Acrobat DC/Pro is a necessity especially since users are not able to print all text content from scrollable field boxes. LiveCycle is transitioning out to Adobe Experience manager and this feature should be included within Acrobat DC/Pro in order to provide a smooth transition. It is a feature request that I've seen on message boards for quite a few years. Please take this into consideration.

    Thank you!

  9. MacOS Acrobat Pro DC: please add ability to specify default save location, or reduce the number of steps required to specify a save location. As of now, every time I want to save a file, I have to go through the following rigmarole:

    SAVE --> CHOOSE A DIFFERENT FOLDER --> [SPECIFY TOP LEVEL FOLDER] --> [SPECIFY SUBFOLDER]

    I literally need to save my files in the same place, EVERY SINGLE TIME. The folder is the downloads folder. However, that will never ever ever ever be in the initial list of folders I am presented to choose from. The initial list…

  10. When I sort comments: by type, author, color, page, etc, the groups are always fully open. If I'm sorting by a particular group, I want to target something within a group. If I have a lot of comments, they scroll past the end of the comment pane. So EVERY TIME, I have to collapse the groups. At the very least, make the name of the groups BOLD somehow, so that I can see which group it is more easily. Also, I miss the little twirl down triangle, That UI was more intuitive. I don't like the ellipses.

    The suggested behaviour is already present in the application in some other form.

  11. Multiple users at my client company has an error message (I attached it to this form) when opening PDF's its not affecting their work, but they find it annoying to have this window that pops up everytime they open something.

    I saw on the community forum ( https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader-discussions/adobe-reader-quit-unexpectedly/td-p/14091441 )
    That other users are having the same issue but no fix are found yet. Could you guys try to fix this issue?

    Thank you and have a great day!

  12. Bug: When searching for a text string and clicking on the right arrow to get to the last search result (say, 5 of 5), then clicking on the left arrow to go back to result #4 (4 of 5), produces unexpected message in a pop-up dialog: "Adobe Acrobat has finished searching the document. No more matches were found."
    I would expect this message to pop up only after the user clicks on the right arrow to go to the next search result past 5 of 5.

  13. When a signatory is asked to sign via AdobeSign, I have found that they often exit the program without actually signing the document (we often need signatures from people who can be a bit technophobic!)

    I think there are three tweaks that would help prevent this:

    1) that the flags would stay in the document until the are acted upon (at present, they seem to disappear within a few seconds)

    2) that if a signatory tries to exit the program, a pop-up message could say, do you wish to really exit with signing? the signatory could confirm yes or no

  14. I'm running Action Wizard to fixup several PDFs. When an error message pops up, I click OK to dismiss it. Then I click Start to resume the Action Wizard. The Wizard skips over the next document in the list and adds a check mark as though it processed. When the summary report displays, that document is missing as though it wasn't ever in the "Files to be processed:"

  15. I have a ten page pdf. this document has about a dozen comments scattered on six different pages. In Acrobat Pro DC, there is no way to get all the comments to print out to one page (or more for a lot of comments), with each comment including the document page number of the comment. The default options will print the comments page by page, which seems a waste. In the example sited Acrobat would print out six pages to show what amounts to one-half a page of text.

    Hi All,

    Thanks for bringing this issue to our notice. Your valuable feedback helps us improving our product. We discussed about this particular issue and we do not have any plans to work on it in immediate future. However, we’ll have it in our radar and might revisit at an appropriate time in future.

    Regards,
    Arvind

  16. I have decided to post this as a new idea just to highlight how HIDEOUS the new design is on the desktop. If this design on the desktop continues to 1 January 2024 the new year, I will change the default pdf reader on all PCs in my organisation to a competitor.
    What kind of nonsensically non-inclusive design is this???? The work of laziness?
