Stop text boxes from combining
PLEASE fix so text boxes stop combining. I KNOW Acrobat is not an "editiing" app but I have to make contact sheets from multiple products and sources from Adobe Bridge. Then the client needs a couple changes, or we need to update an area on the contact sheet ONLY. Constantly have to fight to redo text. Not editable in other apps - Illustrator can only open one page at a time. Can't edit PDF in Indesign. Can't edit in Word. These are NATIVE pdf's from Bridge. Thank you.

Want to selectively delete individual lines from the RECENT LIST without deleting the actual files from my HD or Document Cloud.
Want to selectively delete individual lines from the RECENT LIST without deleting the actual files from my HD or Document Cloud. As it stands now the Recent List gets so long as to be a nuisance. At least allow clearing items after a certain period of time.
3 votesPlease try the following steps after updating your Acrobat to the latest version:
1. On the recent file list, Select the individual files using the check mark on the left.
2. After the selection you’ll see the option “remove from recent” on the right, select the same. -
How to CHANGE a permissions password that I never set in the 1st place
I cannot edit PDF's because I need to enter a permission password to do so. However I never set one in the first place, only the one to sign in to my Adobe account.
6 votesHello,
If you have created this file?
If not, it must be the creator who had set the password for making it non-editable.Regards,

Page Move
In earlier versions of acrobat, it was feasible to move a page by right clicking and inserting new page number. This is very helpful for a large document not visible in one screen. For example, if page number 86 needed to be moved to page 7, then just right click page 86, it will open up move dialog box, and just type page 7. Page 86 will be after Page 6 as desired

Simple basic word processing like paragraph 1st line indentation...come on its an expected norm. If you can edit text you can do this.
Gross lack of basic text formating. Why is this? If the product allows Font selection/ sizing, and paragraph justification then indentation is a must.
Numbering: Unable to start with a specifc letter or number....why not?
Font type: I have to scroll down a list, why can't I type the first letters and it comes to me?

Add "signature/section" function to booklet printing.
Its become a "thing" for people to use old book binding techniques to make journals, and.. frankly, sometimes it would be nice to "print" something with more than a dozen stapled pages. Or, even print such a large thing in "sections" so that you have, say, the first 10 pages as one booklet, the next ten as a second, etc.
Problem is, right now, if you want to do this with a PDF, no matter the source or content, you are left hand calculation every single group of pages, then manually printing each batch. It would be nice to actually support, 'Print as signatures', as a sub option, and 'n pages per signature'. Or, call them sections, to avoid confusion.
The only solutions to do this, other than painstakingly printing every group individually seem to be some hackneyed scripts that try to chop the PDF up into files, which you still have to then print one by one, or other "solutions" for non-professionals, which often flat out do not work, or fail to avoid the original problem - having to print the things one after the other, instead of just say, "print this and divide it up in n page groups".
The booklet feature basically does most of the work already, it just doesn't work when you have 50, or 100 pages, instead of like 10.
But basically, the idea is that you do "booklet", then you tell it, "divide into groups", then you specify an even number of pages. The most common being 4, or 8, then if you have, say 48 pages, instead of printing pages 1,2,47 and 48 one one sheet, then doing 3,4, 45 and 46, (assuming an 8 page group), 1, 2, 7 and 8, then 3,4,5 and 6, before moving on to 9, 10, 15, and 16, etc. This creates 6 "booklets", each with 8 pages in them, which can either be stapled, and handed out as part 1-8, or, for the hobbiest, actually stitched into a bound book.
Not have the feature, like I said to someone on the forums, is a bit like replacing a fan belt by cutting the car body away from the engine. It gets you to the fan belt, but.. that kind of misses the point of designing a hood in the first place. ;)

Icelandic OCR
In fact, all languages supported by the open source tesseract project should be available to Adobe customers. Better yet, Adobe licenses OCR from I.R.I.S. S.A. and meanwhile Readiris 17 has support for 130 languages, including Icelandic. Time to update or lose some license restrictions and move open source. What are you paying for, other than sub-par technology? Tesseract is a project supported by Google with an Apache 2.0 license.
Foxit and ABBYY Finereader also have support. Adobe is severely lagging behind here. The tesseract engine is particularly good at character recognition but does not have a very nice interface. There are scholars all over the world that study this language. Editions of medieval texts are especially popular, and tesseract is actually pretty good at older editions of manuscripts, thanks to community based work on tesseract training. It's a shame to not be able to scan in and use OCR on these documents straight from an Adobe product. It would make it much easier for translators to input text into a computer aided translation tool, and could provide the impetus for a windfall of new publications.
When there is an open source solution available it is a real shame that a paid-for consumer product cannot provide access to the same level of language support. I chose Adobe over the other commercial options for access to a wider range of professional level software, but am left disappointed by this aspect of the software while every other piece of OCR software on the market today beats Adobe out in this field.
This is a sore disappointment, and has been for some time now.

Bug Report: Cannot select first page of a multi-page PDF as icon for a button
This is a bug report for Acrobat Pro 2017.
When creating a new form "button" with an icon appearance, it is not possible to select the first page of a multi-page PDF as the icon image.
- Create a new button field
- In the Properties dialog box for the button choose the Options tab
- Choose "Icon only" from the layout dropdown list
- Click the Choose Icon button and select a multi-page PDF
- Try to select the first page of the PDF as the icon image.
- Only the 2nd or later page can actually be selected (even though the first page will appear in the dialog box).

More user friendly arrangement of Quick Tools area
I have just installed the latest "Acrobat Standard DC", and I'm disappointed to find that still the way in which you have to personalise the "Quick Tools" area is not user friendly.
Apart from having a mandatory set of icons on the left (I can't see an easy way of removing them), the way you have to add / remove icons is annoying - right-clicking on the quick tools bar then selecting or deselecting an item to have the menu disappear so you have to right-click and find the item again and again...! Then not being able to change the order of these is dysfunctional too.
Please improve the way the tools / toolbars can be personalised - I see many comments from other users around this.I have just installed the latest "Acrobat Standard DC", and I'm disappointed to find that still the way in which you have to personalise the "Quick Tools" area is not user friendly.

Comment popup text very difficult to Select and Copy to clipboard
Open an existing comment bubble popup that has text in it. Select (highlight) the text. Now just move the mouse cursor slightly outside of the comment popup boundary. The text you highlighted becomes unhighlighted! I can’t even express how maddeningly frustrating this is. We have hundreds of edits a day that we need to copy the comment text out of Acrobat.
We are CONSTANTLY selecting the text, hitting COMMAND+C, switching over to a different program to paste, only to realize that either nothing gets pasted in or the text from the previous edit is still on the clipboard. I finally realized this is because of the roll-out unhighlight issue. At normal work speed, we highlight the text, hit COMMAND+C, while moving the mouse outside of the box all in one fell swoop (hard to explain but a very natural workflow). What happens is the mouse moves outside of the popup box just before we hit COMMAND+C, so the selected text never makes it to the clipboard.
I've attached a video showing the issue.
Older versions of Acrobat such as X and XI never had this issue. Highlighted text stayed highlighted until you actually CLICKED somewhere else. That’s how it works in every other app and that’s how it should work here. Begging you to please fix this. Thanks.

Would like to export "Saved Settings" in Watermark & Header/Footer Tools to another computer
I have a number of Watermark and Header/Footer "Saved Settings" on one Mac (desktop) that I would like to export from it and import into another Mac (laptop). These include page number specs for different page sizes. It would be a great time saver if, once those were saved in one computer, they could be exported into another without entering in the specs from scratch.
