1. PDF/A Font Deduplication and Subset Consolidation ("Font Hygiene" Option)

   When creating or editing PDFs in Acrobat Pro and saving to PDF/A (particularly PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3), the resulting file often contains multiple embedded subsets of the same typeface, and in some cases complete duplicate font programs. This significantly increases file size and reduces structural clarity without improving visual fidelity or compliance.

   The issue commonly arises when:
   • Combining or editing documents generated from different source applications.
   • Incrementally editing PDFs multiple times.
   • Adding content that triggers additional font subset embedding.
   • Merging files that contain separately embedded subsets of the same font.

   Over time, a single document may contain numerous subsets of the same font (e.g., ABCDEE+FontName, FGHIJK+FontName, etc.), even when the glyph coverage overlaps. In some cases, full duplicate font programs are embedded more than once. While technically valid under the PDF specification and PDF/A conformance rules, this redundancy inflates file size and complicates archival optimization.

   ⸻

   Proposed Solution: “Font Hygiene” Option within PDF/A Save Settings

   Introduce an optional pre-save optimization step within the PDF/A conversion workflow titled Font Hygiene. When enabled, Acrobat would perform the following operations prior to finalizing the PDF/A file:
   1. Font Program Analysis
   • Analyze all embedded font programs and subsets.
   • Compare glyph outlines, widths, encodings, and font metadata.
   • Identify identical or functionally equivalent glyph programs.
   2. Glyph-Level Deduplication
   • Remove duplicated glyph programs where identical outlines and metrics exist.
   • Ensure that each unique glyph is embedded only once per font.
   3. Subset Consolidation
   • Merge multiple subsets of the same base font into a single consolidated subset when compatible.
   • Preserve all required glyphs used in the document.
   • Maintain PDF/A compliance, including required embedding rules.
   4. Duplicate Full-Font Removal
   • Detect and remove entirely duplicated embedded font programs.
   • Retain a single canonical embedded instance.
   5. Font Resource Normalization
   • Normalize and rename consolidated fonts using their proper PostScript or full font names (without random subset prefixes where appropriate).
   • Update internal font resource dictionaries accordingly.
   6. Character Rebinding
   • Re-map all text objects to reference the consolidated font resources.
   • Ensure character encoding and Unicode mapping integrity.
   • Preserve ToUnicode maps and accessibility tagging.
   7. Validation Pass
   • Perform full PDF/A validation after consolidation to guarantee continued conformance.

   ⸻

   Practical Benefits
   • Reduced File Size: Particularly valuable for archival environments and court e-filing systems where file size limits are strict.
   • Cleaner Font Tables: Improves document structure and reduces technical clutter.
   • Improved Archival Integrity: Simplifies long-term preservation by minimizing redundant embedded resources.
   • Professional Production Quality: Aligns with best practices in document production workflows.

   ⸻

   Real-World Impact

   In professional environments where PDF/A compliance is mandatory (e.g., courts, government agencies, regulated industries), users frequently encounter unnecessary file bloat due to redundant font embedding. The lack of a built-in font deduplication mechanism forces users to rely on external optimization tools or manual pre-processing in other software.

   A native Acrobat-level font deduplication and subset consolidation feature would materially improve efficiency, file size control, and archival quality while maintaining strict PDF/A compliance.

   When creating or editing PDFs in Acrobat Pro and saving to PDF/A (particularly PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3), the resulting file often contains multiple embedded subsets of the same typeface, and in some cases complete duplicate font programs. This significantly increases file size and reduces structural clarity without improving visual fidelity or compliance.

2. When trying to "Save As," the pop-up window is blank

   For some reason, this new bug is that when trying to save a file under a different name and in a different folder, the pop-up window that usually has options like "choose a different folder" is completely blank. I have made a work around, but this is clearly a software glitch. A computer restart did not fix the problem. Please fix this.

3. Trial period- I can't access any of the tools I am supposed to be trying out. Your TRIAL is a SCAM!

   I am furious that I wasted my time signing up for what I believed to be a trial period to determine if your product would be beneficial to my position; however, I conclude that I can do no more with yopur FREE trial than I could without it and it is merely a ploy to get people to sign-up with the hope that they forget to cancel. Next time, advertise that the trial only allows access to two tools out of the numerous ones that you list to get people to sign up. I'm extremely disappointed and will be sure that no one else at my company tries your free trial and wastes their time and money either.

4. More than one signature option

   I am someone who frequently finalizes documents and applies my executives signature to a document once they approve. We are not allowed to use the stamp option because it is not super secure. The fill and sign currently allows one signature and one initial (which I use as a second signature). However, I have 5+ executives.. all requiring different signatures. Which means, I am losing efficiency by having to change the e-sig document almost each time. I understanding having 5+ different signature options may be a bit excessive but even just two signatures and two initials would be better!

5. How is it possible to make it worse with each update??!???!

   Stop forcing this useless 'feature' on me.
   I don't want to use, see or interact with any AI features. I can read my documents myself — it's crazy, right?
   I really enjoy how slow and buggy the reader has become just because of this nonsense.
   Stop, let me remove it entirely. It should be an option!

   Its great to see that i am not the only one complaining about this.

6. Acrobat Pro no longer recognizes HP PCL 6 Printer Driver paper size changes

   Acrobat Pro no longer recognizes changes to the paper size made in the HP Universal Printing PCL 6 drivers.

   When I change the paper size in the Printer Properties dialog for the PCL 6 printer, Acrobat's print dialog no longer recognizes the new paper size and no longer changes the preview to indicate the new size. This is reproducible 100% of the time.

   I had been using an older PCL 6 driver (7.0.0.24832) for years, and about four months ago an update to Acrobat caused this behavior to start. Every Acrobat version since has had the same issue. I am currently running 2025.001.21223, which is the latest Acrobat version. After the issue started, I decided it was time to upgrade the HP driver to the latest version. I installed HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v7.9.0) and the problem disappeared for a couple of weeks. I could once again change the paper size and Acrobat would adjust. Then the problem occurred with the new driver as well. I can no longer get the page size to change in Acrobat through the driver. I suspect I will have to uninstall the driver and reinstall it to get it to work. Some setting is getting corrupted. Not sure why, but since the HP Driver didn't get update before the problem started, I believe it is an Acrobat issue.

7. Acrobat update

   Move Acrobat Pro updates to the Creative Cloud app. It makes no sense for one app to live outside Creative Cloud, and the auto update is a resource hog, usually updating at the exact worst time, and creates an ominous warning about restarting while it’s updating. Turning auto updates off in the system settings creates an annoying pop up dialog constantly hassling me to turn it back on. Not a true manual update option. Horrible user experience. Please fix this obvious bug, which has been reported by others over a year ago.

8. Fill

   Fill and Sign does not have an option to change the font when fill a from.

   Every paying customer is asking the same question.

   When will this feature be added? It is a necessary feature.

   Editing a PDF to change the font is not the same feature and messes up the document.

   Thank you.

12. freezing when converting document

    Trying to take notes of a transcript off Pluralsight course. I download the course transcript to follow along with course video and want to copy and paste text into my own notes. When the text is pasted, the formatting adds line breaks in the word document, which then creates extra work. When trying to convert to Word document, Adobe freezes and will not convert. I've attempted three times. This convert option is suggested online in order to avoid the funky pasting that occurs, so I am at a lost as what to do. As a paid subscriber, the operation of the application is poor. Please address and refine program operations.

The Adobe Reader page pops up and the ad page telling me to upgrade my account for $$$ comes up immediately after that and freezes. Even if I wanted to upgrade, I wouldn't be able to because clicking on anything doesn't work. Not only does my machine freeze, but I cannot access the document I am trying to open. Why is Adobe taking over my computer? Even if I wanted to upgrade, I don't have the authority to upgrade or install any program without our school tech people doing it. STOP! MAKE IT STOP.

14. If you put up files in “PDF Spaces”, there is no more facility available for searching files, even if it is OCR done.

    My version: Adobe Acrobat 64 bit version 25.001.21223

    If you put up files in “PDF Spaces”, there is no more facility available for searching files, even if it is OCR done file.

    So, I had to remove my files from PDF Spaces & put these files individually in Adobe Cloud to enable search facility.

    Very Very shocking for me. Can someone guide me on this ??

19. Online version of what shows up as free in Google Search, no longer free

    Force Google search to update if you change so something is no longer free:
    https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/acrobat/ocr-pdf won't let me add a file - keeps popping up an ad
    Same for: https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/acrobat/pdf-to-word?x_api_client_id=adobe_com&x_api_client_location=pdf_to_word

    I have no problem with your choice to charge, just disappointed because I thought it was free...
