  1. 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!!

  2. 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,…

  3. 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

  4. Hello,

    We have a PDF file that seems to be ZUGFeRD compliant according to the ZUGFeRD Community verification tool (ZUV - https://www.zugferd-community.net/en/open_community/validation) but when trying to validate this PDF file using the Adobe Acrobat Preflight tool there is an error message that states the XMP data is not valid.
    I am attaching the sample file, a report from the ZUV validator, and a screenshot from the Preflight tool.

  5. Reopening the bug notice from 2019.
    The artifacting error is not fully functioning within Acrobat's tools as of July 2022 with the current beta version.

    @Rachit/Adobe, please reopen this case.
    See original post at https://acrobat.uservoice.com/forums/590923-acrobat-for-windows-and-mac/suggestions/34682290-artifacting-error

  6. When creating a form in Acrobat Pro DC, fields set to be read-only and locked can still receive focus while they should be skipped and their contents be unselectable. This happens even when the PDF is saved as Reader Extended with "enable more tools", regardless of whether the resulting PDF is opened in Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader (DC)

    Closing this for now until we have further info on the request.
    Can revisit later

    1. Open a multi page pdf
    2. Open Organize pages tool (my files are over 50 pages)
    3. Set view that you can see several pages and the page control appears on the right side of the screen.
    4. Enter a page number into the page control and press the enter key.
    5. Press the enter key again.

    Results: Either nothing happens (first time clicking <enter>) or the Organize pages tool closes (second time clicking <enter>). This makes the page control useless within Organize pages. I have to larger documents I'm trying to sort out and this is making it **** difficult to do!

    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.

  8. I mostly use the Edit or Prepare Form tools. While I'm updating my document, Acrobat crashes at random times. There is nothing consistent, it just seems to be more finicky after the most recent update. After it crashes, I reopen it and the customized toolbar on the right has reverted back to the default tools. This is very inconvenient and happens several times a day while editing or preparing a document. Is this a known issue and is there a fix for this?

    I am sorry for the inconvenience you are facing.
    Can you share with us the acrobat version and the operating system you are using
    Can you share with us some sample PDFs with which you are facing this issue.

  9. Place pointer on tool bar of comments, don't use enough to remember to get the pointer back the Esc key needs to be used

  11. Updated today as prompted by Adobe. My redaction tool no longer works. When I go to apply redactions, I just get a white box with a spinning blue circle in it. Tried restarting, extremely frustrating as redactions and batestamping are the only reason I'm paying for an adobe subscription. Redactions worked beautifully on the version I updated from.

  12. Add horizontal and vertical text alignment options for the Panel Tool fillable text within the text box. Currently the alignment function only allows for the text box itself to align on the page. The ability to align text within the text box is crucial when the lower half of text is cut off at the bottom of the text box when changing fonts.

  13. Build and make available a PDF recovery tool for your paying licensed users. From time to time a PDF will corrupt and will not open. Often a ton of work has gone into assembling/noting/creating that file. There are options on the web that are "pay for recovery". However, I do not want to put sensitive corporate data into some site on the web to "try" and recover it. Nor am I interested in purchasing a recovery software from an unknown vendor that again "may" recover the file. I don't know what else that app is doing with the data in…

  15. The distribute tool buttons that are available when editing forms appear to be mislabeled compared to other programs like Illustrator and InDesign. The button that has the symbol to distribute horizontally distributed selected form elements vertically. The tool tip also seems to be mislabeled.

    I'm using the Windows version of CC by the way. I've compared to the other programs that have align/distribute features and believe

  17. Since we can only move the toolbar from the left to right, it blocks data on the document. Please allow it to be moved from top to bottom also.

  18. When you use the Check Box Tool to manually create the Check Boxes that the program could not detect when you run the Prepare Form Tool and say there is a whole row of them going from left to right or even up and down and they are all in line with each other that there would be something you could click on to when you right click inside the check box that you just created to be able to detect that and have it done automatically for you at that point since it takes way too long to do…

  19. Every time Acrobat updates in the background, it inserts its buttons on my Word ribbon. I can hide this section or disable the plugin, but these changes are erased with the next update. At times, the plugins also break Outlook. I don't want or need them. Can I opt out?
