copy text from PDF including changes (e.g. made with "strikethrough" or "insert" tools)
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.

Batch superscript or subscript within a field
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.

Font size displays incorrectly when editing text
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.

Users should be able to drag and drop text boxes (full of text or not) from one page to another.
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.

Add Conditions to the hyperlink field
Just like all the other fields, we should be able to add conditions to a hyperlink. Why is this field treated so differently?

Not possible to edit text after saving files with active windows in PDF.
Not possible to edit text after saving files with active windows in PDF. For example when there is active window where we should write date and then we are adding signature, then field with date is not active anymore and it is not possible to change date with EDIT function either. It is very flustrating!

2. Use prepare form tool to add a fillable text field, set the field properties so that font size is "Auto"
3. Save, and open in chrome using the Adobe Acrobat extension (Ver 24.8.1.1)When entering text, it does not fill the whole field and the font size reduces abruptly. Behavior is not seen in built-in chrome pdf handling, or in Acrobat Windows App.

Bug: export of plain text file produces nearly empty file
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.

Bug Report - JavaScript Editor - TAB key to move text over exits the Editor
Bug Report - In JavaScript, it's common practice to format the code to make it more readable by using the TAB key to indent text. This has worked fine in all previous versions of Adobe Acrobat that I've used. However, in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, pressing the TAB key moves the text to the right once, as it should, but then the focus moves to the OK button to close the Editor. The focus should stay in the Editor so TAB can be pressed again to move the text further to the right. It is EXTREMELY inconvenient to…

Wrong calculation in copied fields
when doing a calculation in a form like
A1B1=C1
with given standard values A1=2, B1=3 resulting in a field with calculation result of 6 (from 2x3=6) you get mistakes in a new calculation when you
- copy the three field
- rename them to D1, E1 and F1 and
- change the standard values and the calculation to D1=3, E1=4
- change the calculation to D1E1 with result 12
the shown form is still A1*B1=C1 values in both linesThis is a bug that should be solved.

Date format from Adobe Forms not carried into Adobe Sign
Hi,
The date format using Adobe Form doesn't get carried forward to Adobe Sign. With the volume I am working with, it is just not possible to manually change dates in the form each time as there are several dates in the form and I have to send a large volume of the forms in one go. I tried using the script "Text1es:signr1:isdate(format=dd/mm/yyyy)" in Prepare form under Custom Calculation Field and it doesnt work. I tried locking the format and it doesnt work either. This is causing so much problem and…

PDF forms using JAWS and NVDA Screen readers with latest Acrobat update
With the latest update of Acrobat (2024.002.20895) I have been experiencing issues reading, completing, and interacting with PDF forms using both JAWS and NVDA screen readers. The screen reader keeps leaving forms mode when I'm in fields. Instead of typing into the field, it recognizes my keystrokes as JAWS commands. For example, when I try to type "Henry" in a Name field, pressing "H" makes it jump to the next heading in the document instead of typing the character(s). I have confirmed that I am in forms mode (both visually and via the sound…

AI tool for text recognition
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.

Why can't I copy the text just as it is in my original document?
I am trying to copy both Thai text and Burmese text from a Pdf document. But these are not recognized languages in this Adobe program so it tries to copy them as English and makes a mess of them. Why can't the text be copied over as it appears in the original document? Then, I could use Google translate to change that into English. There is no need for Adobe to recognize the language being copied, just copy it exactly as it is in the original document.

Search inside graphic selects extraneous text
Searching for item as shown, when it finds it in the graphic it selects extra text! (Is there no check that the selection only includes the search and then trims if necessary?)

Is there a way to scan a document for text without making that text editable?
I want scanned documents to be searchable, and I want people to be able to copy/paste text from the documents, but I don't want them to be able to edit that text. I cannot find a setting that allows that.

Change the text size/font style of a measured dimension!
I think the measure tool in Acrobat Pro is very useful. But It is not possible to change the text size/font style of a measured dimension!
