  1. Holding the Command key (Mac) or Control key (Windows) should allow for selecting/highlighting multiple, separate characters or words within a text field. Similar to how the Shift key can be used to select/highlight a single range of characters.

    This would allow easier batch modification, to be used when making many singular characters within a paragraph into subscripts, for instance. Command or Control-selecting each character to be modified then enables the user to only have to click the subscript button once, instead of for each character after highlighting.

  2. The attached generated PDF files contain text which is 36pt in size.

    When inspecting the text using Edit Text in 'original.pdf' the size is incorrectly shown as 48.

    If the element is copied and pasted as in 'copied.pdf' the new element shows correctly as 36 and the original as 48.

    Running a preflight check reports all text as 36.

  3. Changing text size / color used to work fine until a forced update to Acrobat DC today to 19.021.20048.
    Now selecting a comment and changing text size or color seems to work the first time I try to use the feature after opening the document.
    After that I either don't get the popup to change text size / color; or if the popup shows and I click on the color box (change color) no additional popup for color change comes up.
    Using Windows 7 laptop.

  5. When opening a PDF exported from Adobe Illustrator in Acrobat Pro, text that has been converted to outlines (curves) is displayed incorrectly. The issue affects the visual appearance of the outlined text, which appears thicker or distorted compared to the intended design. This problem is visible only in Acrobat Pro and does not occur in Illustrator or some other PDF viewers.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Create a document in Adobe Illustrator with text elements.

    2. Convert all text to outlines (Object > Expand or Create Outlines).

    3. Export the file to PDF using standard export settings.

    4. Open the resulting PDF in Acrobat…

    Hi all,

    Adobe Acrobat and Reader official update containing the fix for this issue is now available. This update will be automatically pushed to all existing installations of Acrobat and Reader. If you want, you may also manually trigger the update by opening the application and going to Help > Check for Updates.

    More information about this release is here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/acrobat-dc-2015-acrobat-2017-february-23-2018.html

    Please try it out and let us know your feedback.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

  7. 1) Read in the attached file ("a.pdf").
    2) Select "Export a PDF>text (plain)" and save to the file "a.txt"

    For me, the file is nearly empty, 14 bytes in size (see attachment). a.pdf has plenty of OCR text and cut-and-paste copies plenty of good-looking text. I don't know how a.pdf was originally created, but in any event export of text should produce something better than this I think.

  8. In the commenting mode for Acrobat DC Pro, there are "strikethrough", "replace", and "insert text" tools, among others.

    When I select and copy some text (for example, to count the words or rephrase it in another window), it copies the original text and disregards anything crossed out or inserted. This means I have to re-do all the changes by hand.

    It would be great if one could copy the text in a way that incorporates the changes, similar to how you can opt to copy text with or without formatting, in some programs.

  9. When webforms are created, using adobe sign, there should be option to allow rich text formatting so that users can edit font types and functions like Bold, Underline, Italics. Also the font type on webform is limited to just 6 and often does not match the other pre printed text on the document

    Additionally, users should be able to paste objects or tables in webforms.

  10. When editing a PDF, users should be able to drag text boxes (full of text or not) from one page to another. This would allow easy rearrangement of previously populated PDFs or easy reformation of currently being created PDFs.

  12. Adobe has just been updated on my computer.

    Examples uploaded of what is happening now, and what I used to be able to do. I have hidden confidential information, apologies for this.

    I used to be able to draw a text box to make it of a certain width before I started typing, and as I would type the text box would expand downwards as needed. Then if I needed to I could adjust the width afterwards as well.

    I can no longer draw the text box to a certain width and despite having the little spots to…

  14. The New Acrobat Pro experience has broken the Edit - Add Text feature.
    In the old experience, if one clicked on the "Edit" icon then all existing objects such as text boxes would be shown and one could edit text inside them. If one clicked on the "Add Text" icon then those existing objects would no longer show their boxes nor be editable so one could position the cursor over such a box and add text which would create a new text box. This is the way it is supposed to be and lets one easily add Text to…

  15. 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.

  16. The popup that comes up for the user is in a most annoying position. The main reason is that it covers text that the user is in the process of reading.

    There is often better grey space to put this in. It might even be better to have this at the top if you must insist on it being present. This is because people read top to bottom and often hover over the text to read and it is less likely to occur at the top of a page because the user is not likely keeping their place.

    And why…

  20. Ich muss oft Dokumente einscannen, die natürlich nicht den gewünschten Dateinamen haben. Jedes einzelne Dokument zu öffnen um es dann umbenennen zu können ist unheimlich Zeitaufwändig. Es wäre daher sinnvoll ein Tool zu haben, das den Text erkennt und daraus automatisch einen passenden Dateinamen generiert.
