  2. Quicktools – Allow FULL customization.
    The top 6 tools are not default. They are mandatory. I cannot remove them from my quicktools bar. This is extremely frustrating. Of those six, I've only ever used two (select text & highlight).
    Please allow full customization of the "quick toolbar" !

  4. Have the link functionality able to work in all browser pdf viewers online and not by download.

    I will attache a file, the click me links work on desktop, but not in a browser window. We cannot expect our clients to download these files in order to use them. It would be great if these buttons continued to work in a browser window without needing to use acrobat as the default viewer.

    Please respond with any questions. I would love to help make this work. or let me know of any solutions to this issue i am experiencing. Many thanks…

  6. Mac OS X 10.13.6
    Acrobat Pro DC – Version 2021.001.20138

    Inserting a text watermark using the Helvetica Neue font enters a series of boxes instead of the text. All weights and slopes affected except, bizarrely, the ‘Thin’ weight.

    Inserting text using the Helvetica Font produces the error message “The font ‘Helvetica,Xxxx’ contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display correctly”. This error message appears on saving the PDF and every time it is opened in Acrobat Reader DC.

    Both fonts are system fonts and work satisfactorily in all applications (e.g. InDesign, Word) including Acrobat Pro DC, but not as…

  8. Serious freeze-on-startup problem with Acrobat Pro DC--it seems to be completely broken. (I've stopped using it and have reassigned Acrobat XI Pro as default pdf application. Though Pro 11 is no longer supported, it's at least functional.)

    • App version: Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 19.012.20040
    • System: 2016 Macbook Pro, OS 10.14.6; 2.7GHz Intel i7, 16GB RAM.

    • First observed on Mac OS 10.13.4 (High Sierra) and corrected by updating to OS 10.13.6.
    • Problem resurfaced with OS 10.14.6 (Mojave).

    Note: uninstall-reinstall attempted with no improvement in both old and new operating systems; also tried restarting the computer.

  9. Bookmark visible as a stamp on page itself so that the user can see what the document title is without having to open the bookmarks pane. This should be a toggle on/off capability and be moveable on the page (select which section of the page it appears in default). Might also be helpful if the stamp defaults could be edited for font, size, etc

  10. TERRIBLE habit of Adobe to force through an upgrade when you want to use it. if Adobe is set as the default pdf reader, one may have to wait 5 minutes for the upgrade to go through PLUS restart the computer. there MUST be an option to delay the upgrade.

  11. When creating a form and using the Execute Menu Item->Submit a Form in order to email the completed form to someone when they click on a link, the following message appears, even though PDF is selected in the Submit Form Selections:

    "The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself. The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help…

  12. Too much time is wasted by doing the simple little things all around Acrobat Reader and I want to address as many of the concerns as I can in one post. Turns out I can fit everything

    1) Ability to lock anything on the page so it never gets moved unintentionally. To unlock it you could click a padlock in the corner, if it's right on top of another if you highlight the padlock for 3 seconds a small popup could show vertically what you have with a solid background with the padlock so you can see clearly what you…

  13. We have hundreds of on-going shared reviews in Tracker. It is very difficult to locate files. The default sorting method appears to be based on recently opened files. If there's a file that hasn't been looked at for months (typical), searching through the "Joined" files is more than tedious. Sorting by file name (as well as other options) would be great. Alternatively, a search function would work as well.

    And while you're at it--any way to speed up Tracker on start up? With this many files, it takes a heck of a long time to load.

  14. I ran into an issue where shortly after opening Adobe Acrobat the program would close with no indication of what was causing it to close. When trying to run Acrobat as Administrator I was shown a "adobelicensingwf_acro.exe" error (See Attached image).

    After trying to open the program a few more times I noticed that Acrobat would close about the same time as the profile picture would change from the default account to my account picture (See Attached image). It seemed to be closing the program after a handshake with the adobe web service. That reminded me to check…

  15. I find the new icons difficult to differentiate among. In my toolbar, multiple functions are served by the same icon, which requires me to hover over the icon for the popup to see which tool it is (until I've committed my ordering of tools to memory). In my side panel, the Generative Summary icon is the only purple icon, showing that it's possible to recolor them.

    Please consider allowing us to show by default the names of the tools/buttons to the right of the icon.

    Additionally, please consider allowing us to change the color of the icons in the control…

  17. We need more color option in the toolbar, usually, I like to use differents opacity/colors. So every time I need to change color, I need to find the most recent highlighted text and set his "properties as default". This action takes some time and it disctract me a lot.

  18. I have wasted so much paper because of this ****** bug. Printing double sided should never ever be automatic or the default setting. I turn it off all of the time, and even went into settings to disable double sided book printing, yet it still randomly turns it back on. This has to stop.

  19. The Save As experience in Acrobat on Windows 11 is extremely frustrating for real‑world workflows. When I create a PDF from an Office document (e.g., PowerPoint), I want the PDF to save in the same folder as the source file or at least be easily reachable via Windows Recent Folders. Instead, Acrobat shows its own “Home”/Recent UI that ignores Windows’ Recent Folders shell and often doesn’t default to the source document’s folder. This forces extra navigation steps every time. Please add options to (1) always default Save As to the source document’s folder and/or (2) surface Windows Recent Folders directly…

  20. Can we use Windows group policy to opt-out on data collection for users for privacy reasons? By default it's set to opt-in for a user before they log on but we would like to opt-out without the users' intervention.
