  2. 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

    I have forwarded your request to engineering. It will be picked up after prioritization. We will contact you if we need some more information on this.
    Thank you for your patience

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  6. 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?

  7. 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).

  9. 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.

    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.

  12. 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!!

  13. After placing a drawn signature using the "Fill & Sign" Tool on a PDF prepared with form fields, you are unable to move the signature box or delete it using the "Trash can" above the signature box.

    Issue can be bypassed by closing the Fill & Sign tool and reopening it.

    I cannot identify any document properties that might be causing this, when compared to a blank PDF there are no differing properties; however, when using the Fill & Sign on a blank PDF I get more options on the tool bar, when using Fill & Sign on the document…

  14. 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.

  15. 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)

  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,…

  18. 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

  19. 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

  20. Add "EIN" as a formatting option in Adobe Pro using > Edit pdf > More Tools > Prepare Form > (highlight field) Properties > Format - drop-down choices include Social Security Number, Zip Code, etc.
    I had a field formatted using what shows as "Arbitrary Mask" but the formatting created an error which started recently. I did correct things but lost my tab order.
