  1. Had to revert to the older version to be able to add new text boxes. I'm trying to add text to PDFs of documents saved during the "Print to PDF" feature. When doing so, the bounding boxes are placed in seemingly arbitrary locations, and any attempt to edit them HORRIBLY messes up the formatting. My job requires I add text near the title of the document, but the default bounding box takes up about 4/5ths of the printable area. This hasn't been an issue for me before, as using the "add text" button on the top ribbon opened…

  2. 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.

  3. Using 64-bit Acrobat since version 22.003.20282, in any PDF document when opening Document Properties, then changing to the Description tab and to Security tab the text is overlapping.

    We have found that if you disable Sandbox Protections under Prefereneces - Security (Enhanced) - Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at startup it resolved the issue. We plan on opening a ticket with Adobe.

    You can also turn it off via the regitry
    [HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000

  5. When scrolling a PDF document with highlighted text using the two-finger gesture on a trackpad, text that is highlighted when creating a Comment does not visually scroll properly. See the attached video. Same problem occurs when using the cursor to scroll the page (not captured in the attached video). Reproduced on several documents

    Steps:
    1. Select text
    2. Bring up contextual menu
    3. Select Highlight Text
    4. Write and post a comment
    5. Scroll page: text creates a visual "ladder" while scrolling and then the page is re-drawn.

  6. The Convert Webpage to PDF, and Add Webpage PDF functions were completely destroyed by Adobe about 9 months ago.  I requested fixes a couple of times and eventually Adobe restored these to much better functionality about a month ago.  I responded that the functions were now good.

    BUT I have since found that once the PDF is created from a webpage, there is no text recognition within the PDF.  When I try to use the OCR recognition function, it responds "could not perform recognition because this page contains renderable text".  

    The consequence of this is that highlighting of…

  7. I want to be able to see my sticky notes comments at a glance without having "highlighted text" comments clogging the pane. But I still need to have the highlights appear in the document itself. Filtering in the comments pane makes those disappear. Can we get the option to make the filter apply only to the pane? I'm sick of scrolling through hundreds of "highlighted text."

  8. 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

  9. 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…

  12. 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.

  13. 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!

    Hi,

    Thanks for providing your feedback. I will share your feedback with the engineering team and let you in case we have any updates.

    Regards,
    Sandeep

  15. 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.

  16. When I need to move a text box, I have to move the cursor over the box many times (or enlarge the text box) because the move pointer doesn't show up. It's extremely frustrating and a waste of time.

  18. After adding a signer, proceeding to fill form fields loops back to document with no signer listed. Also, no longer able to add myself as a signer under "More Options", which also just loops back to document with no signer listed. THIS APP IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL AND I CANNOT REQUEST SIGNATURES. Continuing to mess with the UI in updates makes no sense - with every update I have to figure out how to navigate to perform the most basic e-signature. If it ain’t broke DON’T FIX IT. I am extremely frustrated with this product. Done with Acrobat.

  19. 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…

  20. 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!
