1. Be able to show Rulers & Guides by default

   It would be useful in Preferences to turn on Show Rulers & Guides by Default. At present you have to go to "View / Show/hide / Rulers & Grids" for every new PDF that you open.

   Right status is Implemented. Resolved is used when we resolve an issue with help, educating the user, providing workaround etc. Actual work from our side in this case – hence Implemented.

2. Worst version ever

   The new version of Acrobat is the worst program I have ever seen in any category. I dont usually use vulgar language, but the long list of 4 letter words available would be the only way to fully describe the latest user interface. Everyone makes mistakes, but the entire team that is responsible for this product should be fired. All tools and details needed to navigate and manipulate a file were so easy prior to this useless version.

3. Searches

   Return back to prev search tools, especially new window with search results listed. And provide user choice tools on the toolbar across top.
   I spend so much more time trying to use newest ver. that I am looking for a better pdf reader solution...you screwed up the most useful tools.

4. Cannot set select tool as default instead of hand tool

   I'm trying to make the select tool the default when Acrobat opens instead of the hand tool.

   I was running Acrobat DC fine with the select tool as the default on Windows 7. I just got a new computer with Windows 10 and now I'm having trouble. Same version of Acrobat, just a new operating system.

   I've tried almost everything mentioned in this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2179758

   The one thing I couldn't try was the scrubbing tool, because I have Creative Cloud. I did uninstall and reinstall Acrobat. It didn't work. Then I tried the "Repair Installation" option in the Acrobat help menu. No effect.

   My new computer has touch capabilities and I read that disabling touch in Acrobat switches the default back to the select tool. I disabled touch, but it didn't change anything.

   I've also tried editing the registry through regedit.exe but it's already showing the select tool as the default. And yet, whenever I open Acrobat, it's still on the hand tool. I tried changing it to "hand", to no effect, and back again, to no effect. Am I missing something? Is there a solution to this?

   I spend my entire work day selecting text and images in pdfs. I've never had a use for the hand tool and being forced to have it as the default tool now is a painful and frustrating waste of time. The "make hand tool select text & images" option is useless, since I have to click several times just to select one word in the document. I need the select tool.

5. As of the latest MacOS 14.4.1 on April 4, 2024, Acrobat has become even slower/glitcher than normal, Save As and the Edit menu don't work

6. Crop tool

   Can Adobe PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY - add the crop tool back to the main set of tools (All tools) so I dont have to constantly remind myself where the heck it is? Why did Adobe bury the lead? The crop tool used to be front & center and now its hidden in a tab. I'm forever searching for it on the rare occassion I need to crop within Acrobat.

7. Add/ allow user to resize/ change width

   Comment Pane: Add/ allow user to resize/ change width of Comment Pane. -

   *This is a f/u to previous posts (2021 and older) regarding the width of the Comment Pane.

   PLEASE add/ allow user to resize/ change the width of Comment Pane.

   Reason? Because each computer monitor, laptop, or tablet have different screen sizes; AND each user have varying degrees of space between actual monitor and eyes (think ergonomic devices, individuals with vision impairments.) Depending on these factors, the Comment Pane prevents the FULL VIEW of a document.

   Is this an issue that can be related to disability accessibility issues under Federal regulations? => Yes.

   Isn't it better to be able to hold the fridge door enough to see everything that's in it? Versus having to open and close the fridge door every time you want to check if you have a certain item?

   Have I tried adjusting monitor settings? Graphics settings? Browser zoom settings? Document properties? Adobe Acrobat properties? etc. => Yes.

   Do I have the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat PRO? => Yes.

   Have I looked in the Adobe forums? Reddit? Google? .edu sites? And asked my IT personnel and peers? => Yes.

   Thank you in advance!

8. [Bug report] Comments auto scroll multiple windows

   When scrolling the pdf, the comment pane scrolls accordingly. This is expected behavior and a nice feature. However, when viewing multiple pdf files in separate windows, scrolling in one window will also scroll the comment pane of the other windows. This is not expected, scrolling in one window should not scroll the comment pane of other windows.

   Installed: Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) (25.001.20435)
   OS: Windows 11

9. New page layout format

   The latest page layout is so confusing. Why did you do this to us?! It's one thing to update looks and add/subtract features. But you swapped sides. Now all editing tools are on the left and navigation (bookmarks etc.) are on the right. Why do this? That just slows us down and confuses us when we are used to it being editing on the right and navigation on the left. There doesn't seem to be a purpose in swapping them except to torment us. Perhaps you can add a preference in settings where we can make the layout as we like it?

10. Keyboard shortcuts to reorder items in the tags panel (Accessibility Tool)

    Please add keyboard shortcuts to reorder items in the tag panel.

    Currently, a user must drag and drop tags in the Tags panel to change the reading order. It is easy to drag and drop items in the wrong place.

    To recreate this problem:
    1.) Open a tagged PDF
    2.) Open Accessibility Tools
    3.) Open Tags Panel
    4.) Attempt to re-order items

    It would be extremely useful to be able to do the following
    With a tag selected, I want the ability to do the following with the keyboard:

    -Move the tag up
    -Move the tag down
    -Move the tag in/under another tag (For example, placing a list item under a list)
    -Move the tag out from another tag (For example, nested paragraph tags)

11. open new window

    Hello Adobe support,

    I cannot find the setting to deactivate "open documents as a new tabs in the same window" (I want a new window for each!) under [preferences > General > Basic Tools] anymore since the latest update. Please can you let me know where I can turn this off? I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader MUI (23.003.20244).

    Thank you and regards,
    Patrick

14. layout is TERRIBLE in the current version the UI couldn't be more difficult to use, little to no concern for rapid workflow or customer use

    This needs to be massively cleaned up. Tools don't work intuitively, workflow is choppy at best. Understand new functionality is being added, but, the smooth fit-for-purpose flow the older versions had where you can get in and out, get your job done is massively broken so badly that we all actively avoid using the tool as much as possible until we have absolutely no choice. It feels like it's trying to become a destination that sinks a massive amount of time. I want my tools to be quick, easy, efficient and get out of them and on with my core focus and business. Acrobat pro is the complete opposite of that and the customer experience is atrocious.

15. Role Customization and additional Collaboration/Markup tools

    We are currently in the process of modernizing our internal approval processes and have a number of forms that have been converted from excel worksheets into PDF forms. These forms when submitted, need to step through and be signed by a number of reviewers before final approval by the company Director.

    Our process is very collaborative and quite often, signers/reviewers have additional information that needs to be added to the document as it passes through different departments.

    With the way our forms currently work with Adobe Sign, whenever a change or addition needs to be made, the sender has to recreate the form and restart the e-signing process again. This is extremely inefficient.

    I would find it hugely beneficial if there was an option in the form designer to flag form fields as collaborative so that reviewers are able to correct errors and add additional information before it reaches the final approver

    Additionally, being able to assign fields to Approver and Reviewer roles would be extremely useful. Currently, Adobe Sign only has Sender and Signer roles which means that the form creator (Sender) has to do a lot of manual work in the form design step when preparing a document for e-signing.

16. Highlight enhnancement

    I regularly highlight documents with numerous colors based on a key. It would be helpful if the comment pane showed the color of the highlight in lieu of the generic grayed out highlight icon. It would make perusing large documents with significant highlights easier to peruse.

    Thanks!

    Bring back the interface where all tools are at the top. In the latest interface various functions are spread out amoung the upper left corner, the top right corner, the bottom left corner, and then some more in the menu bar at the top. Um, who thought this was a good idea?

18. Provide a way to remove/move Request for signatures button in Office Home ribbon

    In a recent update, Adobe Acrobat added 2 buttons in Microsoft Office applications to "Request for Signatures" and "Create and Share Adobe PDF".

    This integration doesn't appear in the Ribbon or in the Add-ins list, so currently there is NO way to remove/move those buttons. It is a significant problem when you work with documents side by side or in lower resolution displays because they take too much space in the ribbon and force other more important buttons/groups to collapse/hide.

19. Home Tab interface

    In the Home tab there should be the following main tools listed:
    - Open (Document)
    - Create PDF
    - Combine files

    Those are what we use the most.

    My Home is showing Organize Pages, Fill & Sign, and Protect.I don't use those.

    Or, you can add the tools bar to the Home so I don't have to switch to the tools tab.

20. shortcut for measuring tool not working

    I created a shortcut for the measuring tool within the floating widget; however, after the last update, this shortcut is not working. I have to go "All Tools" then select measuring tools in order for it to work. The kicker is the measuring tool is highlighted in the widget.
