  2. Acrobat Pro DC Bug (version 21.007 using Windows 10)

    This is a new bug, so suggests it relates to a recent update.

    When Splitting a PDF file via Top Level Bookmark.
    You receive the following error message (see screenshot).

    "The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different file name or in a different folder".

    Trying either of the above suggestions will not work and you continue to receive the same error message when attempting to split the file.

    The only way to get around this, is to manually…

  3. Not sure if this is a Windows issue (just updated this morning) or a recent Adobe update, but I am now not able to export as JPG. It goes through the motions, but no file is visible after it's done. PNG export appears to be fine.

  4. Hello,

    I'm a graphic designer and receive a lot of amends to work via PDFs using comments I can have upto 200 comments to deal with. Previously you had authors names in different colours so you could clearly pick out the changes. Now with the new update, all fonts are in black or grey. It needs to be at least customisable for the viewer to change this in the preferences.

  5. My computer downloaded the latest update of Adobe on 4.22.2024 and now when I open a form with fillable fields (that I have used hundreds of times) I cannot modify/change the information contained in the fields. The fields are unlocked for 10 seconds (roughly) in which time you can modify them, like normal, after 10 seconds all fields lock and I cannot modify any information. PLEASE HELP!

  6. Redact - please make it possible to use multiple replacement texts or images

    I want to use a few of different replacement texts while redacting one document.
    I would be very usefull when each replacement text has an own icon in the tool bar. Each replacement text has an other color on the screen, before the redactions are applied.

    Now I have to save the document each time, when I need to change the replacement text for redaction.

  7. After completed adding comments from all the people, I downloaded the comments as fdf file and imported to the original file ("save as an Archived file" is not available today), and found the comments quality is changed. it is no problem during online shared review, but after download the place of comments are changed. especially Strikethrough is terrible. It needs manually checking.

    Also the strikethrough color is really different from online and desktop. it is really clear online, but the same strikethrough is almost invisible on desktop.

    Please fix this bug soon please.

  8. Saving a pixel perfect Adobe Illustrator as a pdf doesn't keep the pixel perfect content when previewing in Acrobat. It distorts one line pixels to two pixels in random area. Icon are distorted as well.

  9. The option "Delete Empty Tags" is still visible within the Acrobat UI and has been broken since an update was pushed September 2020. I understand from working through the Admin Console that there are no plans to fix this.

    "Delete Empty Tags" is a very important function for PDF remediation. Since this option was broken three years ago, remediators have to manually delete each empty tag.

    Please bring this back.

  10. I do NOT wish to show my last name on comment bubbles. I have tired to update this several times. It does not keep the data even when I check the box for "make these properties default"

  11. I LOVED adobe a few years ago up until recently, where everything is so overcomplicated and impossible to use that I would rather inscribe my documents onto a stone tablet and give it to my boss. Expansion and upgrades just to seem flashy while serving no purpose have ruined this application. Additionally, why is it impossible to save things to my desktop?? It wasn't an issue for 30 years but now there are 5 buttons to save something to my cloud and the desktop option is still MIA in my eyes.

  12. Since acrobat pro dc 20135, and patch 20138, acrobat is not working with BPDX files to update a search index. I call acrobat.exe with a bpdx file passed as an argument, acrobat launches, and then the window appears as it did before attempting to update the index. Then message appears "fatal search engine error (-6) not able to find the file". I just went through an issue - after update 20135, with acrobat not being able to search a PDX file - saying file not found. Update 20138 fixed the issue with acrobat but I suspect the issue still exists…

    Hi,

    The issue has been fixed in our latest Acrobat release (version# 21.001.20142). Please update your Acrobat and let us know if you’re still facing this issue.

    Thanks

  13. I can't apply a digital signature on my desktop. Adobe forces me to route it electronically and applies a signature that does not have my certificate details such as time date stamp and reason for signing.

  14. When a ' or & is in the subject field when sending a document for signature, those characters come through as gibberish on the other end. This only happens when sending from the Acrobat pro dc desktop client.

  15. I use the compare files feature daily for my full-time job in publishing. Since the program has been updated beyond version 21.001.20155, it hasn't worked correctly.

    Before the update, I was able to page through the documents seamlessly, flipping from page to page to make sure all corrections and insertions have been made in the newest PDF. It worked correctly, showing the same page from each document, side-by-side. For example, page 5 from the old file next to page 5 from the new file.

    Now, since the update, the files rarely mirror one another. Instead, as I…

  16. As stated in the title, Acrobat is repeatedly seizing window focus and popping back on top of the other windows when it opens another file.

    This even happens when running actions on an entire folder of pdfs.

    I have been running a set of action sequences on a folder of about 400 files for the last few days.

    My original intention was to start the sequence and then continue to work on other portions of the project while the pdf's were modified and saved.

    Instead, acrobat grabs the mouse and keyboard back every time it opens the next file (about…

  17. The highlighter tool currently stops at a page break. The workaround is to select the text BEFORE highlighting and then pressing the icon to highlight just that text ... but the actual tool should be able to do it as well ... and can't.

    Hello Frank ,

    Thanks for contacting us.

    Regarding this feature request as the comments are associated with a page and in right pane comment list a comment falls under a page accordion so a single highlight cannot spam across page.

    When select the text BEFORE highlighting and then pressing the icon to highlight the text you can see that two different highlight comments are added and can be seen in comment list.

    Same can be done by adding two highlights separately.

    Its as per design.

    Thanks and Regards

  18. Not an idea! A complaint

    Each month I get one report, extract each Account Managers pages and email them to them individually. With the new update I have to save each PDF before I can email it? Who's bright idea was that? Takes twice as long to send reports now. Not to mention I don't need them once I've sent them off. Now I have to delete everything I've saved. UGH!

  19. For contracts (sometimes containing up to 600 pages) I need to add an initial on each page (requirment from our legal department). Now I need to do it manually on each page.
    Would it be possible to add the option to copy the initials to all pages?

  20. When using the Recent function to find a previously created PDF it would better that the program searches the entire computer for the file. I scan documents to Desktop first and, when done, move it to the appropriate file. With this new program I have to use other venue to search instead of the convenient Recent function. My older version was able to find the file regardless of where it is saved.
