  2. Bug Report: PDF Forms

    I have been marketing my PDF forms with many graphics and buttons for about 8 years. The bugs caused by the switch to DC years ago was not backwards compatible—but eventually fixed.

    The latest update to DC is acting very oddly. There has always been a lag for screen redraw but now my machine is “bouncing” and it takes several minutes to enter text in a simple line with 4 fields.

    I rebuilt the form with less graphics with no luck. I’m working on a Mac with the newest iOS and newest version of DC. Any suggestions?

  6. 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.

  7. Missing sign in force closes an unsaved pdf form!

    I have several computers I'm using Creative Cloud on. I can't keep up which is signed in and out. I work a lot with pdf forms. What happens is I'm filling an important form and suddenly Acrobat DC just quits without any warning, not asking whether to save. All work is completely lost and not retrievable! Then I can normally do the sign out from other computers and sign in the current computer (with my Adobe ID), but it's too late, the work is already lost.

    It's a terrible problem and should be fixed immediately.

    If the user has…

    Under review  ·  AdminKaran Malik (Admin, Adobe) responded

    Thanks for your feedback. We are looking into this. Meanwhile could you please let us know whether Acrobat which is not signed in quits immediately after launch or after a while. If it quits after a while, could you please let us know the time period say 1 minute or 5 minutes or more which Acrobat takes to quit on launch.

  8. Replacement Text (AccSupp ActualText entry) Support

    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

  9. allow me to highlight text

    Simply allow me to actually highlight the text I drag my mouse over. Stop telling me what you think I really want highlighted and just let me highlight what I, the person paying for this program and "dumber than AI" want highlighted on my file.

  10. Where do you find 'Send for Signature' tool that will bring up 'Prepare Form' and 'Ready to Send'?

    Trying to find how to prepare a form using Add signature (adding fields before sending) and then sending for signature (in that order), but when I pull up Prepare form, there is only an icon for adding digital signature, but not the icon for Add digital signature tool.

  11. Option to rotate text callouts after inserting from another PDF

    When I copy text callouts from one PDF file to another, often times it is rotated the wrong way upon insertion. To fix this, I usually have to make a new comment instead and only copy-paste the actual text. This is very annoying, and there should be a feature that enables you to rotate these comment objects on the page to make them upright again. Or just automatically detect which way is upright upon insertion.

  12. Remove tools sidebar selector, or make it an option, or an option to move it to the top or the bottom

    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.

    File --> print to Acrobat PDF in Edge browser often creates a PDF with scrambled unreadable text. Print to PDF works fine in Chrome. Acrobat techs: Please look into why Acrobat PDF printer driver does not work well in Edge. Create an Acrobat extension for use in Edge.

  15. PDF text disappears in Acrobat Application but opens fine in Acrobat for web

    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

  17. Bug - Trying to add text causes program to lag

    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. Spell check as you type

    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!
