  1. I type comments onto my student's pdf's of their screenplays. The text often stops
    working if I scroll away to double check something on another page forcing me to create a new text box, AND, it will display that same text in random places on other pages.

    Also, I would like the ability to create my own text box dimensions so that the text wraps and stays confined to the text box instead of just continuing off screen which makes no sense as a feature. In what circumstance could that be helpful?

    Please fix the wonky acrobat features to make…

  2. After the most recent Acrobat DC update, we suddenly could not paste any text into the alt text field or the title, subject, author, and keyword fields in document properties. The cursor was there, but nothing appeared when we tried to paste. This happened when copying from any application (Word, PowerPoint, even from within the PDF itself). Oddly, we could paste into the body of the PDF, just not the alt text and document property fields. Ultimately we had to uninstall and reinstall, which seemed to fix the problem. But we have no idea what caused this malfunction…

  3. Ok here is the issue,

    When I edit PDF file using Arabic text, everything ( to some extent is fine )
    But if I just saved the file, then try to edit it again
    ( i.e. Change font, Change Color, Change size, edit the text it self )

    Arabic letters would just go wrong, attached an image showing the issue.

    I noticed that this only happen if ( Tashkeel ) is used.

    I had the same issue on both Machines : Mac OS & Windows 10.

    Also PDF attached with an example,
    if you just tried to change the …

  6. Preprocces to recognize features of forms such as boxes with or without checks and the boxes around fields.

    I scan image documents to be able to search for technical reviews or to export them to excel, access, or word. Current situation: On forms empty or full check boxes are frequently recognized as text and the text is wrong and takes a long time to correct. The same occurs with text near boundaries around form fields. If form type features such as check boxes and field boundaries can be recognized by a scanning algorithm very different from…

  7. There is no option to increase the text size of a measurement!
    Would like to send someone a pdf with measurements however I'm pretty sure they won't be able to see it. On a fit-to-page screen, the measurement text looks so small, that it seems like a continuation of the red line. The person receiving this won't always be proficient, they might not realize what the red line is unless the measurement can be clearly seen.

  8. Image highlight (freehand) tool anywhere on page (including text)

    The image/freehand highlighter tool only appears when hovering the cursor over an image. However would be great to have the tool available over text or blank space on the pdf.

    Also the preview highlight thickness (before mouse button release) is not the same as the final highlight thickness (after mouse button release).

    For the text highlighter, it would be nice to be able to move the ends of the highlight by dragging (to highlight more or less text).

  9. Suggestion:

    Give text fields optional labels.

    1.) Only small, medium, or large font size.

    2.) Placement of left, right, above or below text field.

    3.) Character limit of 25 (or something small).

    The most common work-around option is using read-only text fields, however that gets messing when viewing the form in "prepare form" mode.
    Keep it simple if necessary, but simpler label options for text fields are wanted.

  10. This bug is only for reversed out text, and only happens when Indd files are placed into another Indd file, before the PDF is exported.

    The PDF is fine, until you go to program editable fields, at which point the hyphens and apostrophes all disappear. (This only happens for white text).

  11. I've noticed that when you send out a document to be filled and signed the text boxes do not enter onto a new line when the text reaches the end of the box but instead continues on the same line, off the page, so that you cannot read what everything that has been typed. This is a serious issue and, I would imagine, should be a fairly simple fix. Very irritating and potentially hindering to business.

  12. The "Make Accessible" tool is making text disappear in the document. Working in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, 2015.006.30505. I opened the document, clicked on Tools, then Action Wizard, then Make Assessible. First fopur steps worked fine, but after runnuing the Document Pass and the Alt Text detection, text went missing in numerous places in the document. This is the fourth time this has happened. Look at the header on the first page.

  13. Redact overlay text does not persist when de-selecting overlay text option. As a user, I need to selectively replace text/other elements in the document with overlay text while also being able to selectively replace text/other elements in the document with a solid shape/box.

    Additionally, as a user, I need to escape Acrobat's suggestion to redact text when Acrobat believes text to be present in the redaction area, as sometimes, there is no text in the redaction area, as Acrobat believes.

    Redaction preferences should persist across program sessions or at least be possible to save.

  14. If you create custom radio button element in Indesign it will be rendered wrongly on acrobat pro (and reader) if

    Preferences >
    Forms >
    "Show border hover color for fields"

    is turned on.

    Once you turn that setting off, acrobat renderes the form element as expected.

    Attached indd, pdf and two screenshots to demonstrate the behaviour

  15. I have built a big Webform and need to edit the text in the underlying PDF.

    The instructions say "Editing does not allow Changing the underlying file (eg: change the underlying file, page order, page orientation)".
    Do I really have to edit the PDF and upload it again and rebuild all of the fields?

    Adobe can't expect people to recreate a webform every time they need to make a change to the PDF. Adobe could easily fix this by adding a text tool. I can't spend hours recreating over 50 fields just for a little text

  17. When creating a text field, under the General tab, where the Form Field is set to "Visible", if under the Format tab you enter the following custom script (for example):

    var message = 'Title'
    if (event.value == '') {
    event.target.display = display.noPrint
    event.value = message
    } else {
    event.target.display = display.visible
    }

    Saving the PDF apparently corrupts the file in some way where when you attempt to re-open it, it causes Acrobat to crash and the pdf is unrecoverable. When the Form Field is set to "Visible but doesn't print" no error occurs.

  18. I cannot get rid of the panel and continue preparing a form after clicking the X to close the panel. When I close the panel, it goes to Edit mode which does nothing for me. So, then I hit prepare a form mode then that huge panel shows up again. I do not need this panel to prepare my form all the time. What I do need, is to be able to see the actual pdf page zoomed in and all my thousands of small fields that I can see and adjust.
    In the previous version, I was able…

  19. New Acrobat Object Properties dialog has a Text Box for "Alternate Description for Links" which does not seem to work when using the Read Out Loud feature.

    InDesign now exports Link Alt Text to the /Contents property under the "Tag Element > /K > [0] > /Obj" hierarchy. This "contents" tag does not seem to be recognized by Read Out Loud.

    Shouldn't Alt Text go into the /Alt field in the Tag Element top level?

  20. When opening a PDF, there is a section in the bottom-left that says "Get PDFs e-signed. Recipients sign online for free." There is a delay between first opening a form and when this section appears. During that delay, you can start typing in a field, but when the "e-signature" section appears, the field you're typing in will lose focus and you'll get interrupted.

    This also happens in Reader DC, but instead of "e-signature", the pop-up is about a 7 day Pro trial.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open a form with at least one text field in it
    2.…
