  1. Hi all,

    can any of you tell me how to set Photoshop as the default for opening images from Acrobat Pro DC (macOS Monterey)?

    Whenever I click on an image under "Edit PDF" with the "Edit" tool, the preview is displayed in the "Edit with" submenu. When I say "open with" I can select Photoshop. However, I would like to use Photoshop as the default here so that I don't always have to select the programme under "Open with".

    I had actually remembered that I could set this in the settings under the item "Touch up". Unfortunately, this menu item…

  2. To reproduce: using fully patched Windows 11 (@today) and latest acrobat DC.

    Create a folder in windows explorer (eg C:\files\acrotest) and place a pdf in it. Enable preview pane - works.
    rename c:\files\acrotest to c:\files\acrotest#\ - preview no longer works instead displays "File not found" message.
    rename c:\files\acrotest# to c:\files#acrotest\ - preview now shows HTML directory listing of c:\files
    rename c:\files#acrotest to c:\files..#acrotest\ - preview now show HTML directory listing of c:\

  3. Here is a posting I recently made to the Acrobat "Editing and Exporting PDFs" forum:

    try67 wrote: "Yes, Acrobat Pro DC can scale all the pages of the file in a single command."

    As it turns out, Acrobat Pro XI is supposed to be able to do this, but as I stated offline to try76, "... I experimented with increasing the white space around pages (to 8.5 x 11.0) in XI. The single-column test page I sent you is from a 9-page, mostly three-column document, and when I use the Cropping Tool while attempting to do this, there is one…

    Thank you for the feedback. I have forwarded your request to the engineering team. They will reach out to you if any more information is needed.

  4. Please allow us to move the tools around and add all tools to our favourites. I can't stand having to search for the "add stamp" or other tools I use daily every single time I need it. As well, there are too many steps to get to the stamp. The old way was simpler and much faster & user friendly.

    The create & manage stamp portion does not work so anyone who needs to add a stamp to the document cannot do so and our company uses this daily.

    I liked the old Adobe before this new update. I don't…

  5. Left hand tool bar uses up extra space on the screen. Why can't this be moved to the top or right where there is already toolbars with extra space. See attached document for picture.

  6. Hello,

    I fill out a TON of documents as a freelancer and this software just is missing some simple things that would make my life so much easier. Can we please just get a drag and drop fill option for todays date under that tab next to the signature? This would save me so much hassle alone.

    Anyways, PLEASE PLEASE make this easier for people who are filling out documents as well as creating them. I feel like there are so many tools to create documents but none for the people filling them out.

  7. I cannot get the Page Up/Down keys to work. I'm viewing a multi-page PDF in full page to flip through them and spot changes. I can't see an option to reset tools or select this as a transition option.
    Also, in all other Adobe products, you can hit Command+` to jump between open documents, but not in Acrobat.

  8. Acrobat Pro has stopped processing BPDX files again. This has been working for me for more than a year, and suddenly stopped working after 18 October 2022 (approximately Acrobat version 2022.003.20263).

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create an Acrobat catalog index file; e.g. C:\Flare Destinations\MasterTerminal-PDFs\JMTIndex.pdx.
    2. Create a a BPDX file named C:\Flare Tools\PDFIndex.bpdx with the contents "C:\Flare Destinations\MasterTerminal-PDFs\JMTIndex.pdx /build"
    3. Run Acrobat from the Command Prompt with:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" "C:\Flare Tools\PDFIndex.bpdx"

    Environment:
    Windows 10 Pro 21H2 OS Build 19044.2130 and Acrobat Pro Continuous Release Version 2022.003.20263

    Expected Result:
    Acrobat Pro will open and build the PDF…

  9. I am a Lecturer and I regularly mark scripts. It would be great of we could assess (mark) online on a pdf. There is not many online assessment tools out there. Learning is fast moving to the online space and being able to mark a pdf document will be excellent. I attached a file explaining detail of how it should work

  11. A customer described how he uses multiple colored pens to mark up printed drawings and wants to be able to do something similar with the Acrobat commenting tools. He requested the ability to setup multiple pen thicknesses and colors for easy access, similar to the way PowerPoint allows the creation of multiple pen styles (see attached).

  12. edited: After some browsing, is this true that it's a subscription-based option for users not to view this "floating toolbar"?

    Scenario is to open or make a document; the all tools menu pops out over the screen.

    request is to look In "Preference > General", there should be a new check box and indicating a user that can loads the app without "All Tools" or any tooling menus going to load without user's interaction. With user's interaction, on the screen after app is loaded, Notice the X button close these tools menus, but buttons above for tool menus exists.…

  13. Can you please add a ruler tool. One which you could click on and it would go across the screen. If you could have it utilize the up and down keys to control it's movement, that would be great. Our firm receives a lot of lists in adobe pdf. form and it would help us keep track of where we are as we go through the pdf list.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for reporting your concern.
    Raising a feature request for you. We will get back to you once this request is prioritized and implemented.

    Thanks.

  15. Current Behaviour - If a PDF document has a title present in the “Title” document property then the default initial view of Acrobat Reader and Acrobat PRO is set to "File Name" rather than the "Document Title".

    Impact - Acrobat's Accessibility Checks report the "Title" error while the title is already there. This requires the "Initial View" setting to be changed on each PDF manually.

    Desired Behaviour - Set the “Initial View” to “Document Title” as default when a PDF is opened on Acrobat Reader DC and Acrobat DC Pro.

    Why the feature is needed - All organisations want to…

  16. When displaying a pdf file of photos generated by Lightroom's "Slide Show" module, Acrobat puts a small "Suggested for you" menu bar over the text at the bottom of the page. I can't get rid of it. Clicking on the 3 dots shows a "Hide" but this does nothing.
    Showing this Suggestion Bar makes using Acrobat useless for the display of a pdf slide show.
    Besides fixing this bug, another feature would be the ability to turn off suggestions and pop-ups. Please get out of my way!!

  17. I routinely check, review, mark up records. I also use the markups to keep track of changes. Word documents are unacceptable because I need to keep a permanent record that work was done.

    PDF Exchange editor has a tool that lets me draw a polygon, and set the color blend mode so the polygon acts like a hilighter. I can use this to flag something that is an issue, use different colors to identify the type of issue, and whether or not it has been addressed/resolved.

    Adobe acrobat lets me twiddle the opacity, but this makes reading the file difficult,…

  19. Please stop updating Adobe and making it less functional everytime. I just need a clean surface with a toolbar of my favorite tools at the top (e.g. marking things, the arrow, page navigation, text recognition). Stop the AI tools. Improve your text recognition. Almost everytime I get a new update, I end up being annoyed and disrupted in my workflow. This could be such an easy and clean tool. I would love to go back at least 2 versions, but that is not possible
