    Adobe Acrobat Pro XML Export Bug Report
    by Rich Hartness, rhartness@mabnc.org

    1 Title: Isolated field format losses with Acrobat PDF to XML exports

    2 Intent

    I'm writing to report there seems to be a very small but significant bug in the Acrobat 2017 and Pro DC PDF to XML exporter, to share my compelling evidence, and hopefully to gain your support to authorize a code fix that will correct this issue in a future update.

    3 Problem description and scope

    The problem seems to only exist in XML…

  2. For example, if I type "Tomić" when correcting recognised text, after clicking "Accept" it changes to "þÿ".

    I'm using Acrobat DC version 2018.011.20055 on Windows 10 Pro version 1803.

  4. Problem: when I read pdfs with more than one columns, I have to constantly scroll down each column, return to top, and continue scrolling. This is not only a hassle but also seeing other information in other columns usually distract me from the text I am reading.

    proposed solution: It would be nice to have an option to scroll columns of text separately. For example the column that my mouse pointer is on it would become clear for reading and I could scroll it down, while the rest of the columns are slightly blurred to avoid distraction. By…

  5. When viewing a document in reflow, complex grouped graphics (including text, for example, a large map with countries/cities) tagged as figures with alternate text overlap text when viewed in reflow mode. If graphics are ungrouped, they appear fine within the text flow. How can grouped graphics be tagged to allow them to appear without overlap in reflow for accessibility?

  6. it's frustrating to 'see' the list of Bookmarks that I cannot export or copy into plain text. I need to search each of those items in our image database and I'm forced to do them one-by-one. Why can't I just copy/paste? I can 'see' exactly what I need, but I can't copy it and use it in a timely manner. One-by-one is AWFUL.

  7. When editing a photo in a newsletter for example, I only want to edit the photo, by using photoshop, only to have text recognition mess up the text from a clipping on the same page. So there's no way, or extra steps needed to fix a page and then we receive complaints from clients, because we didn't catch it. This was rarely the case with older versions. I'm sure you're aware of this. WHEN are you going to give us back out old editing capabilities?

  8. I believe there are no current JavaScript functionalities to format the text in an auto generated email or even the alert method. This could include bold, italics, or highlighted, in the actual body of the email. Are there any plans to implement this in JavaScript, or to allow HTML to be used for this?

  9. It would be great to send one document that needs an individual signature to multiple people at one time; receiving each copy individually once person has signed document.

    eg: Send ABC form to Bill.Cool@gmail.com, Sandra.Cool@gmail.com, Tricia.Cool@gmail.com as group email.
    Each person receives their own copy of ABC form...Bill signs form and submits, Sandra signs her ABC form signs and submits, Tricia receives her ABC form, signs and submits. Sender receives, Bill's signed form, Sandra's signed form, and Tricia's signed form all individually with unique signature in each one. As it stands now I must…

  10. I use the Dark Theme for accessibility because of light sensitivity.

    When using Dark Theme, many of the Navigation Panes (including Bookmarks, Content, Order, Tags, and probably others) display black text on a dark grey background, instead of properly switching to light colored text. I think there are other parts of the UI that have this same problem, but I can't enumerate all of them.

    The lack of contrast makes these parts of the UI effectively unusable in Dark Theme. Using low screen brightness (again, because of light sensitivity) exacerbates the issue. The bug is very easy to reproduce…

  11. There should be a setting when creating a form in Acrobat Pro such that when a user opens it in Acrobat Reader and they click on the comment icon, that the comment list pane on the right side of the document does not automatically open up. This is confusing for some users. They should be able to open it up manually, but it should be possible to set it to not auto-open that pane.

  12. The default for fields is set to Auto. Each field must have the Appearance edited manually for a different font size. Users need to be able to set defaults for font sizes, i.e. 10pt, for all documents without creating templates.

  13. Hello, When I access my PDF file all text and numbers are changed to symbols. I have checked and all programs are up to date and I have cleared all my cookies and caches of data. But the issue continues. What can I do to correct this? Thank you.

  14. Summary of the Problems: Search result snippets in an Advanced Search are often uninformative due to two distinct problems.

    Problem 1. The length of text snippet in each search result is too short.
    Problem 2. The search term occurs too "early" in the result snippet (that is, the term you searched for is the first or second word in the snippet--you see nothing that came before your term, which is often what you needed to know).

    Solution to Problem 1: allow the user the ability to customize the maximum size of snippets returned with search results. We have…

  15. In the last day I was using Acrobat PDF in a document I was reading and adding commets with the text box tools. When I scroll across the document or close and open again, the text boxs appeared in different pages, duplicated. For example, this blue text was originally in the 30th page but when I opened again the document it appeared in the index

  16. PDF document reflow (Ctrl+4) is not possible for documents containing images with an alt-text. When the images are decorative (artifact) de document reflows normally. Is this a known behaviour of Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader? Foxit reader reflows documents with images with alt-text normally.

  17. New Acrobat GUI with controls on left > Scan & OCR > Correct recognized text > previously could begin typing into "Recognized as" field. Now have to click into field before beginning typing. And previously could hit "Enter" to Accept but now have to click on Accept. New GUI is much more time consuming having to use mouse. Please return putting keyboard entry control into first character of "Recognized as" field and allow Enter key to do "Accept". Thanks.
