  1. The user experience of using the Accessibility tags feature is unacceptably inefficient. Consider that the user might need to tag hundreds of documents, themselves hundreds of pages. Try this yourself, or observe someone else trying it. You should quickly see how unnecessarily slow and tedious the workflow is, using these tools. Dragging little tiny icons around in the sidebar panel is slow, difficult, and often inaccurate. There's no way to just click on something on the screen to indicate what it is and how it should be tagged. You can't draw an area around an image/caption. When the…

  2. The "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary." banner is disrespectful and a disgrace. My document only had 6 pages and this popped-up. How you shove AI tools in our faces has gone beyond all dignity. Also, this banner "eats up" monitor space and therefore my document is displayed smaller than it could have been! Add an option inside preferences to prevent this banner from appearing.

  4. When I open a pdf the toolbar is not visible.

    Going to edit> preferences> Documents> unticking Allow documents to hide the menue bar, toolbars, and window controls then saving does not resolve the problem.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  5. I open a pdf and go to tools > prepare form> open then select a form.

    As soon as I click on 'add a field' or an existing field, a stopwatch icon appears and Adobe closes. So I can't edit a form which makes a fillable pdf form impossible. Given the fee I pay every month I am NOT happy.

    Yes I have the most current version, Yes I tried the 'repair Adobe' option.

  6. the look and feel with your latest acrobat reader just sucks ... in previous versions i was able to configure my tool-bar

    for example add advanced search to the tool bar so i can access it just using one click, now i have click 3 times

    same with lots of others usefull functions i am working with on a daily basis

    you took them all away for me and millions of other users

    what a waste of our time

    at least give us the option to decide what we want to have in the toolbar and what not

    this is…

  7. Pan tool is converting to the selection tool after I pan a sheet. I have pan selected; and am panning over images.

    Bump and agreed. The software juggling between pan and select is the most irritating feature I have ever experienced in all adobe products I have ever used. This shouldn't be considered a feature. Anyone who ever uses this has the knowledge to click the select tool before selecting stuff. When you have to browse through dozens of construction plans with comments and the whole bit that can amount to millions of dollars in liability if done wrong, and…

  8. This new version of adobe reader is not useful at all. I have just wasted a half hour trying to find the "Find" tool. I want the old version back - I wasn't even offered an option to keep it even without support. When things are not broke, don't trying fixing them.

  9. No basic functionality in the top menu (Reduce File, etc.), no immediate access to a Marquee Zoom tool because the tool bar has to be opened in a separate tab every time I open a file before I can use them. I'm shocked that Adobe is still pushing on with this awful excuse for a UI. It's convoluted and a waste of user time, let alone visually inconsistent with all other Adobe products. Lots of user complaints relating to the same issues but, as usual, Adobe don't appear to want to fix it, just carry on shoe-horning what they think…

  10. give option to permanently hide bookmarks panel, who even uses this, why force on every document????!!!! good job guys, real smart, every person and every document needs a bookmarks panel that nobody uses. you are so innovative and fresh to ruin perfectly good software by cramming in stuff hardly anyone needs, just so you can say you are evolving, so you can sell more junk. get it together sometimes less is more.

  12. Why does Adobe not allow payments with PayPal in Switzerland?
    Such an important company and especially that we are nowadays all using different payments tools beside the classical credit cards, should be really updated. It is almost like a discrimination towards us and it is incomprehensible. Almost every company uses nowadays PayPal as tool and it does work perfectly

  13. To ensure that assistive technologies can parse tables, headers that are repeated across pages should be marked as artifacts. This is recommended by the PDF Association's Tagged PDF Best Practice Guide: Syntax: https://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/TaggedPDFBestPracticeGuideSyntax.pdf . However, this structure is not followed by PDFMaker when converting from Word to PDF.

    Steps to reproduce the issue
    1. Open the attached Word document.
    2. Go to Acrobat > Create PDF.
    3. Press Save.
    4. Open the resulting PDF (also attached).
    5. Open the Tags panel (View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Tags).
    6. Expand the <Table> tag.

  14. I need a simple box that can be added into a form which activates the drawing tool to enter a manual signature. If someone is filling out a form, they won't know at the signature point they have to jump to the tool menu and select the pen. For a user they are in the form, keep them in the form. Just a simple setting on a signature box to switch it to pen rather then Digital ID would be great.

  15. I've added new "Custom command" -> Inspect document -> Text to Curves

    I've added that Custom Command to Quick tools toolbar.
    The idea was that i have one click text to curves button.
    After clicking indeed the text changes to curves, BUT when you click save icon, it goes disabled (as if you'd think you saved the file). Yet if you reopen the file the text is text not curves.

    It only works if you go Save AS and then choose your file once again but it defeats the purpose of having custom command. It's then easier to just add…

  16. To whom it may concern,
    I noticed that fill and sign tool is not provided in Adobe Acrobat Reader
    specifically in the version English supporting Arabic; so I chatted with
    technical representative who admitted that this tool has not provided yet to the mentioned version and they worked on it. I also asked him/her when he/she expected to be added; so he/she suggested
    to fill this form to see this suggestion. I hope to support this idea, please. Thank you

  17. There used to be a great feature where you could click a box to "keep tool selected" so you keep using the same tool, over and over again without clicking on the Icon again and again and again. It was especially useful when reviewing a large document where you wanted to highlight several passages or for adding text, etc.

  19. Need tool to "Search for hyperlinks in documents":

    Description of desired feature: Search tool: advanced search, search for: "http" or "weburlstring" etc. even if it is a hyperlink that doesn't have that displayed.
    Why the feature is needed: it's 2024, we should be able to search for things in the PDF that I can manually search for.

  20. The introduction of what I'll dub the "save helper" is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever seen implemented in a well known software. In no circumstance does it do anything than take more time since you have to open a file dialog no matter what you click - all it does is introduce another impediment to workflow.

    The best thing to do is remove this "feature" and have it actually default to where you opened the file from! You know, like software has been doing for the last 30 years?

    The newest version also seems to have broken OCR,…
