1. Customize toolbar order

   I understand engineers need to make a living, and therefore must come up with new and adventurous ways to "optimize" content. With the 23.001.20177 release of Pro tools are now delegated to one visible and one hidden list in the left sidebar. PDF standards are near the bottom of the hidden list. I use this all the time, so now I must go through multiple points and clicks to perform a task that was one click before. Either go back to the previous configuration or allow the toolbar to be customized. (I saw "solved" on an old previous thread on this topic. It isn't)

2. Adobe has gone to sh!t

   For month's I've been getting a small popup error EVERYTIME I open a pdf. I've followed the instructions provided but NOTHING ever fixed it. I don't know what the **** is going on at Adobe but I would have preferred they fixed errors FIRST.

   Today I opened Acrobat and nothing looks the same. Some tools are in color, some are greyed out, No notice given and no list of the changes.

   Is AI running the company now? If I had stock in Adobe I'd be giving it away right now. This market is prime for competition and I hope it comes along soon.

3. Search to find Specific Tool

   It is nearly impossible to find some tools in the Tool groups, as they are frequently grouped in a way that is not intuitive. Searching for a tool such as "Zoom" would greatly enhance the customization of my Acrobat product for the things I frequently need.

4. Stop Updating the Program

   Please stop updating the program in such a difficult way that is almost impossible to determine were the functions are. Additionally this updates take A LOT of the screen view of the document when searching for tools. I have to use this every single day for work and constant document stamping and certifications. I do not have time to sit down and learn the entire layout of the program every time one of your developers feels like "impressing" his/her superior. STOP! We are paying for this! Might as well start printing documents and work on them manually. What a shame!

5. Clone and brush tools zigzag across screen when I try to use them

   When I try to use the clone stamp or brush tool, it automatically starts doing a zigzag pattern all over my PDF, not where I had indicated for it to go.

8. Quick tool bar

   New floating quick toolbar to be stacked in the new acrobat experience
   the new floating bar covers the document areas and it is very annoying. User should be given the option to be able to stack the bar up down right or left.

9. If we uncheck "Enable AI," actually disable it for us.

   I very intentionally do not have "Enable generative AI features in Acrobat" checked in my Preferences. For security reasons, I can't use AI in my work, nor do I want to. This appears to be the only place I can indicate my choice not to use Adobe's AI features.

   However, I still have:
   1) a pop-up pushing AI every time I open Adobe;
   2) a bright flashy button at the top of my screen pushing AI;
   3) now when I highlight a word the popup with editing tools ALSO includes an "ask AI assistant" option.

   This is incredibly distracting when editing documents. Please trust users when they attempt to opt out of this feature and stop shoving it in our faces. In the meantime, I'll be testing alternate PDF markup programs free of this garbage.

10. Keyboard shortcut for "Go to next sticky note"

    We need a keyboard shortcut for "go to the next sticky note." This would prevent my having to scroll through the comments pane if I have a lot of callouts and text boxes (in addition to sticky notes).

    Sorting the comments doesn't work; I need to be able to see the text boxes and callouts as I'm reviewing the sticky notes.

12. Get rid of all the visual clutter on the interface.

    The interface is way too cluttered. The top "toolbar" with "Home" and "Tools" and a feedback button is completely unnecessary. Stick those functions in the Mac Menu Bar and free up my screen real estate.

13. Bug on program start

    Not being able to view participants in side pane when first opening the program.

    Steps to reproduce and observed result:
    Once the Acrobat Pro is open and I go to the agreements, I wait a moment for them to load. I click on one of the files to view the information pane to see which people are involved in that file to see who completed the form. When I go to click the tab to view the people, the pane closes and I have to click the file in the list again. It will do this a few times. I have found that if I click the file and wait about 30 seconds to a minute, it would allow me to view the names. After the program runs for a bit it seems to not have the issue anymore. It does have a long lag in switching to the next file to view the information in the pane.

    Environment: (OS: Windows 11 Home, 64 bit, 32GB RAM)

    Expected result: Expect it to load in a few seconds, then allow me to click the file, wait no more than 3 seconds to open the pane and allow me to expand the field to see the name of the person that submitted the form.

    Thanks for your suggestion, but currently we have don’t have any plans to offer our Acrobat on Linux.

16. Tool Bar Obscures Information

    The Tool Bar cannot be easily moved or hidden.
    On some documents this means that information is covered by the Tool Bar and there is no way to move the document to show it.
    In the attached example, the left column of the table is hidden, and there is no horizontal scroll bar to move the document across.

17. AI Removal

    I think we can all agree that your AI pop-up is the most annoying and useless "feature" on Adobe. As you can see, several cases have been opened against it, and ALL the cases have been upvoted. How much longer til y'all actually get rid of it? Since we're talking about annoying pop-ups, can you also find a way to disable the pop up when I copy text? I just need to copy some quick data into another spreadsheet and every time I select the text I have your stupid pop-up to Generate an Image, Simplify, Define, or Ask your Useless AI. Get rid of it. This could easily be mitigated to basic text functions like highlight or strike text. Your little "helpful" tools are a nuisance. I can simplify on my own, if I need a dictionary I'll google it, and we've already gone over your ineffectual AI Assistant. I have to click off my highlighted text to get rid of this worthless pop up and I need to see the text underneath what I'm copying. This pop-up blocks 25% of a page, get rid of it.

18. Customize Mapping for Shortcuts

    I know I had this functionality in Adobe in 2014, but I was able to customize the mapping for keyboard shortcuts for tools I frequently used. In 2014 I mapped 'ctrl + shift + x' so that a text comment could be added wherever I clicked. I did turn on single-key accelerators, which is just 'x' as of recently in 2022. I just want to map my own shortcuts so that I can also create a text callout (for example, 'ctrl + shift + y'). I don't see text callout as a single-key accelerator option. I did use the cycle through drawing tools, but that is also not helpful because I frequently use the line, arrow, and rectangle tools. Using 'ctrl + d' takes too long to get back to the line tool if I am now using the rectangle tool (I clicked 'ctrl + d' over 8 times to get back to the line tool after using the rectangle tool. There is no key that allows me to reverse cycle to the line tool. The text callout is showing as a drawing tool, but it doesn't allow me to use it when I use 'ctrl + d'. I use that tool a lot so I would like the text callout feature to be used when cycling through drawing tools.

    I also wanted to have a shortcut for using a specific tickmark (PBC, Tickmark, N/A, TR, and PY), which I frequently use. This same thing applies to the Engagement tools (I mainly use "Agrees To" and "Footed").

    If I am stuck with using only the single-key accelerators, I would at least prefer to be able to move the first choice on my cycling through drawing tools to be the rectangle and the second choice to the line. I don't see this as an option. I also don't know if there is an option to delete the amount of drawing tools I cycle through so that only the rectangle, line, arrow, and text callout tools are available to cycle through. I don't need the octagon, cloud, or connected lines tools at all.

    Please help me with these and allow this functionality so I can be more efficient when editing PDFs. A ton of my work is slowed down by having to manually click through the tools each time I need to use a different tool.

19. Adjustable Graphic scale set for Measure tool.

    As an architect or an engineer, we are always managing plans with different scales that have (usually) a graphic scale for reference. The measure tool would be EXTREMELY useful if includes an option to set the scale by selecting two points on an eventual graphic scale included within an existing pdf... this will help to quickly have the pdf in scale and ready to be measured.

    Please, include this feature.

20. Adobe Acrobat Pro bug - extracting text with ligatures

    This is about both editing and exporting PDFs.
    The attached PDF has an explicit explanation of the issues + screenshots. Text from the attached file goes right here.

    I’ve got Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Release Version 2015.006.30355.

    On Web page https://www.zm.gov.lv/mezi/statiskas-lapas/nozares-informacija/buklets-meza-nozare-latvija-?nid=1088#jump
    ..there is a link to a PDF file "Latvia's Forests During 20 Years of Independence" 2010, https://www.zm.gov.lv/public/ck/files/ZM/mezhi/buklets/MN_20_EN.pdf
    The PDF file seems to be a nicely composed PDF with Adobe InDesign CS5.5 (7.5.2).
    The font used, Museo Slab is a publicly available font, I bet it should not have any major issues.

    In the said file, page 47 there are multiple issues with a context having a ligature ffi in the source text ‘office’. This is the only occurrence in the file containing the word ‘office’.

    1. When Copy/Paste is applied from Acrobat Pro to Notepad++ with the regular Select tool, I get C2 8A UTF-8 bytes which is shown as [VTS] in Notepad++.

    No ‘office’.

    1. With Text Edit tool (Tools > Edit PDF > Edit) I cannot select the entire word. Only starting from the second letter. I try to do selection both with mouse and with SHIFT+keyboard arrows. No way to select the first letter. BUT as for the remaining letters, I get all the components of the ligature as correct letters in the output with Copy/Paste to Notepad++:

    Just ‘ffice’ of ‘office’.
    But this shows that there is facility to get normal text from ligatures, however it is not implemented correctly or not at all in all the tools and scenarios making them all buggy. Why can I not select the leading ‘o’?

    1. Also, when exported to HTML, the ligature gets encoded as C2 8A in UTF-8.

    The same as for Copy/Paste.

    If the routine which allows copying ffi from the edit tool was applied to Select and Export tools, some of the Acrobat Pro bugs would be fixed.

    I have several other bugs in my list. If this makes sense for Adobe, please confirm, and I will keep posting. Moreover, I hope these will be fixed asap. These bugs are there since at least v9.
