  1. Create a function that allows administrators within an organization the ability to lock down the functionality of creating a self-signed Digital ID. In organizations that use digital ID's as a result of PIV cards, the ability to verify signatures on PDF's is critical. Administrators should have the ability to restrict digital signing to PIV certificate authentication and not allow users to create self-signed digital ID's.

  2. Generally, this new version of Acrobat pdf is not user friendly. Editing is much more difficult. Adding text is more challenging since the existing text blocks get highlighted as well, so you have to add your new text box to the side and then drag over.
    Adding images is hit or miss as well. Many times, the file won't even load. I'd like the old version back.

  3. Of the more than 30 "online" subscriptions our company pays monthly, Adobe is the only one that does not provide a monthly invoice to a email inbox. It has been widely accepted in the industry that monthly "subscriptions" are now the new norm for software. The VERY least a company can do is provide an invoice receipt to the user's inbox on a monthly basis. Not doing so creates an inconvenience and alienates your user base.

    PLEASE provide a monthly invioce copy sent directly to the user's preferred email address.

  4. The attached Output.pdf renders the image differently in AcrobatPro to non-Adobe PDF readers (eg, Safari). There is a faint light grey line, about 13 pixels wide, down the right edge. If you "Browse Internal PDF Structure" you can see the grey pixels as fe rather than ff in the JPEG stream, so it seems as though the PDF JPEG decoder has an off-by-one error.

    I've also attached Original.jpg which shows what the image should look like. It doesn't have the grey line, as you can see by loading it into, eg, Photoshop. If you convert it to a PDF using…

  5. Bug: The attached PDF file has a perfectly valid JPEG image (1200x1600 RGB, progressive), but Acrobat DC reports "There was an error while reading a stream." Every other application can display the PDF fine (Dropbox, Microsoft Edge, PDF Expert, Google Chrome, etc). If the JPEG stream is extracted to a .jpg file byte for byte, every viewer can display it. I don't know what causes Acrobat to fail to decompress (DCTDecode).

  6. Accessibility checkers (such as CommonLook) reject PDFs with visible digital signatures, presumably because they lack an Alt-Text feature like standard images have.

    We have new requirements to produce all documents for web postings as being accessible, which means we cannot use digital signatures until they become compliant with accessibility requirements.

    Please add Alt-Text capabilities or another means of making digital signatures accessibility-compliant. It would be nice if default Alt-Text could be set as part of the digital signature configuration (e.g., "Signature of John Smith".

  7. Steps to reproduce - Click sign in top right corner of desktop app
    OS - Windows 10 home build number 19042.685 Acrobat version 2020.013.20074
    Expected result - give a dialog to sign in

    When I go into help, it says I'm logged in however I still see sign in button on right side and I can use request signatures. It shows authentication failed as shown in screenshot.

  8. Provide a back and forward arrows to view previous or next file in current folder.

    The reason for this is that it is very time consuming to view a file, close it and open the next file in a folder. I have a free program called IrfanView that I use for image files that has this feature. It really works great and saves time.

    1. Since the last update to Acrobat DC, searching an Embedded Index file using a script fails: No results are ever found. The same search command, using the same Index file, can be performed manually, and once that is done the script works, but not if it is executed on its own.

    2. To reproduce:

    3. Create an Embedded Index (.pfx) file for a file.

    4. Run the following JS code (adjusting the file-path of the Index and the search term, of course):

    var cIdxPath = "/C/Test/MyIndex.pdx";
    search.query("search", "Index", cIdxPath);

    This results in 0 results, and the search doesn't seem to…

  10. Scenario/Description: I have a large PDF that is 310 pages, so I'd like to print selected pages to a new PDF for smaller files. e.g. print pages 168 - 208. Upon printing selected pages to a new PDF, it opens the created file and the total page count is correct, but the selected page number is wrong as it starts its count from its position in the original file (i.e. so instead of showing page 1 out of 41, it shows page 168 out of 41).

    Preconditions: PDF with multiple pages open (310 from scenario above) in Adobe Acrobat Pro.

  11. After the recent update, Acrobat accepts blank spaces in comments, which is very good news.
    The bad news is that comments containing just a blank space are incorrectly imported back in Indesign (see image).

  13. I make ADA Accessible documents. Inherit Zoom is a necessary thing.

    When I need to combine multiple pdf files into one document I often create a narrative that includes links to other pages of that document. I back up those links with bookmarks.

    While it's quite easy to change all of the bookmark actions at once to Inherit Zoom, it's not so easy to change the links.

    Currently each link action must be edited individually. And each Zoom is set to custom. There is considerable time taken to adjust each one, especially when I have 50 to 200 links in…

    Hi,

    We are delighted to share with you that Acrobat and Reader Desktop release for DC Continuous (20.012.20041) is Live now and this takes care of this Feature Request

    For more Info refer here : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/whats-new.html

    The Set Default Bookmark Zoom Level menu item is now added to the PDF bookmark options. While creating a new bookmark, you can easily use this option to set the default zoom level. By default, the Inherit Zoom option is selected.

    Also, Acrobat now provides an option in the bookmark properties to retain the destination page number when you adjust the zoom level of multiple bookmarks.

    Please update your Acrobat (It should Auto update or you should do Help → Check for updates) and let us know your Feedback.

    Thanks
    Ayush Jain

  15. When asking field properties on Mac French version :
    The text in the bottom of the windows appears in a wrong position.
    You need to do a screen copy, then, with Aperture or other, you need to do a vertical switch to see correctly the text.

  16. When attempting to manipulate text within a document an annoying "helpful" pop-up menu keeps getting in the way. Like an eager puppy bouncing at your feet, it constantly pesters; Want to generate an image? Want image ideas? How about copying with formatting? Huh, huh! Get the "F" out of my face! If it's possible to turn it off, I haven't figured out how. I just want to do my work. Put those pop-up options in a tool bar that I can call up if I need it, and quit slowing me down! Unfortunately this is a problem that…

  17. Prior to mid December 2016 it was possible to create a file in Indesign, export it to Acrobat, export it from Acrobat to Word and then compare it in Microsoft Word (Office 365) with another file that has been subjected to the same workflow.

    Since some stage in 2017 an incompatibility was introduced and this workflow ceased to work.

    I have tested this workflow by comparing the Word files produced in Deltaview/Workshare and the comparisons are unstable and unusable, so the problem is not just with Microsoft Word's comparison engine (which works fine with files created within Word).

  19. Hello,
    Concerning the floating black tool bar that shows up when text is selected, it currently has only 5 functions (Highlight, Underline, Strike through, Copy & Edit text-images).
    My requests:
    1. Kindly make it customizable, so that users can add whatever buttons they like.
    2. Especially, make it such that users can add anything from 3-5 highlighters of different colors, so that I will not have to go through the tedious task of changing the color of the highlighter each time I want it changed.
    3. Kindly allow the "Add note to text" icon there either by default…
