  1. There is an issue with the "Review recognized text" feature. It fails to properly update the OCR text when a correction is made. It erroneously replaces the special character "•" with "€" upon clicking Accept. So for example, the slogan "Cleaner Air • Safer Roads" will be saved incorrectly as "Cleaner Air € Safer Roads". I'll happily provide the example document via email if requested.

  2. Adobe Case ADB-37893074-J2Y3

    What we would like to have is to be able to highlight parts of a document (with the highlighter tool) without automatically creating a comment.

    Alternatively, to be able to filter out (disappear) all the blank comments which have been created because we highlighted a certain text so that we only see the comments where we actually wrote something.

    Consider this. When we were at school we used to get our highlighter pen and highlight the important parts of a book / article so that we can read them later. That is we wanted the important parts…

  3. I need the editing tools that have disappeared (strikethrough, text boxes with arrows,etc). These are essential for copy editors and reviewers and they were the reason I bought this program (Acrobat Pr). It is pretty useless to me without these tools!

  4. "Use Current Properties as New Defaults" should also apply to the auto-field detection wizard. It seems to defeat the purpose of being able to set these defaults if it only works when adding each field individually and manually.

  7. Does anyone else have this issue of opening a PDF in the Acrobat application, and the text disappears, but when you open it in the Acrobat for web or in the preview app, its totally fine. Like what am I paying $25 a month for if the Web version is more reliable.

    Have tried to do all the suggested check for updates/ embed text/ remove security settings etc etc but still haven't been able to get it to work

  9. I'd like to have spell check AS I TYPE while writing post-it note comments in Acrobat. Every other form field in the world checks spelling as you type...but not Acrobat. Why? This is a ridiculous product limitation!

  10. We noticed that your PDF viewer doesn't have AccSupp ActualText support. This means that copy-pasting technical text such as shellscripts and programming code, does not work in your PDF viewer and this greatly restrains the use of your whole program.

    The replacement text is said to be supported, according to the file "Document management - Portable document format - Part 1: PDF 1.7" both on Table 323, page 559, and on section 14.9.4, page 615. Available here: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/PDF32000_2008.pdf.

    But according to the tests made using PDFs produced by pdflatex using the package accsupp, the replacement text support…

    Hi,
    I understand your concern here. I have shared this with the higher management. We currently do not have any plan to implement it but we have kept it in our radar and will pick up in future,

    Check the latest features in Acrobat Pro DC by keeping the software on latest version.

    Thanks

  12. I must admit I find the Acrobat editing features terrible. Why not have an "Edit" that allows editing of text and fields, instead Edit PDF and Edit Form. When I try to move a small field (radio button), 90% of the time I end up resizing it, a better targeted way without letting go of the mouse to indicate what I want to do (finding the sweet spot for cross hair or resize should be so difficult or at least have a right click). Why does it have to be so difficult to move an element (text

  13. Text items in the JavaScript Debugger window show up with black type on dark grey background, which is almost impossible to read. The Console window however displays white text on dark bg. Please fix this.

  16. It would be great to have the Layers feature in Acrobat. That way a person could always have signatures visible and not hidden behind a form field!

  17. Environment: Windows 10, 16GB RAM, Adobe Acrobat Pro, New Installation ver 24.2.20759.0

    Steps: Menu->Create-> Blank Page. Then click 'Text' under Edit and place a new textbox. Type in a sentence.
    Expected: Characters generated as key is lifted
    Observed: Sometimes acrobat pro lags between 3 to 10 seconds and then generates characters.
    Sometimes other actions like highlight text will cause program to lag too.

    Attempted:
    Turning off Sync preferences across devices and document services under Adobe Online Services in Preferences

  18. When creating a form, you use to have the following tabs when accessing the text field properties. General, Appearance, Position, Options, Actions, Format, Validate & Calculate.

    Ever since the update a few versions ago this has been removed, and I cannot longer format and action certain text field for a certain type of component.

    I only have these tabs now General, Appearance, Position & Options.

    If i access old forms, they have that all 8 tabs, but if I create a new one they only have the 4.

    Please, please, please or tell me what I'm…

  19. The tool sidebar is too close to the scroll bar, and make it difficult to use and select the scroll bar, which is almost always used. Make the position and/or the visibility of the tools sidebar a preference, since this redundant control is available using many other existing ways. This is the must frustrating, duplicative, and unusually located user control I have seen in many years.

  20. If i have a bunch of pdfs that i want to convert to forms it would be great if we could make a style template that would be applied to the group of documents, a default that sticks instead of having to choose the font size, font face, and alignment etc for every document ...
    also when the document opens i might want to select a group of "multi-page documents" to batch process and tell the interpreter to only make the first page into a form, retain the original formatting of the rest of the pages or…
