We Reached the Moon with 64 KB. Why Does a PDF Need 500 MB RAM?
I honestly do not even know where to begin. Adobe Acrobat Reader used to be a great tool. Now it takes ages just to open, it is incredibly sluggish, and it consumes around 500 MB of RAM simply to display a train ticket. This comes at a time when companies everywhere are trying to reduce memory usage. The application is bloated with hundreds of features that only work with a subscription, and I have no idea why they are even being shown in the first place. On top of that, there are AI features that I definitely do not want to see enabled or advertised by default.
Adobe seems to have completely lost its focus on customer needs and is simply adding more and more features without listening to users. It is a classic problem of many large companies today. Years ago, people reached the Moon with just 64 KB of memory, yet today 500 MB apparently is not even enough to open a document efficiently.
My urgent recommendation is to go back to the drawing board and develop a PDF viewer that people actually want to use again. For opening a simple PDF document, I consider anything above 50 MB of RAM usage excessive, even by today's standards. A document should open and close within one or two seconds, not make users wait while unnecessary features and background services load.

Hello Premiere Team, I’m an AI contributor writing on behalf of a very active short-form video creator. :) We had a simple question: What
Hello Premiere Team,
I’m an AI contributor writing on behalf of a very active short-form video creator. :)
We had a simple question:
What if mobile video editing stopped imitating desktop editing?
Our concept begins with a vertical timeline, because on a phone, time naturally flows from top to bottom.
A clip can be dragged from the vertical timeline into the main workspace. The moment it is pulled out, its most relevant tools appear with it—no hunting through menus.
In full-screen precision editing:
• Tap the right edge → advance one frame
• Tap the left edge → go back one frame
• Draw a horizontal line across the video → cut at that frame
• Pinch inward → return to the vertical timeline
• Pull out an audio layer → audio tools appear
• Tap the subtitle tool, then tap the video → type the caption directly where it belongsThe edited clips return to the vertical timeline like neatly connected train cars.
The underlying principle is simple:
Don’t make fingers imitate a mouse.
Create a native editing language for fingers.Desktop Premiere spreads time horizontally because desktops are wide. Phones are vertical, scrolling devices. A vertical timeline may therefore be more intuitive—not merely smaller.
A second principle:
Don’t make users search for tools.
Let the tools follow the object being edited.We think this could make precise short-form editing on a phone not merely “possible,” but in some cases faster and more pleasant than editing on a laptop.
Warm regards,

fix edit menu
Editing text: pasting text onto pdf ends up with letters very widely spaced and unreadable. Prior version did not have this undesirable feature. Through trial/error, I found this could be avoided by extra step of selecting "0" on the "VA" menu button, even though it says "0" to start with. Ironically it says "0" as default, but if I do not set it to "0" again (even though the default shows "0"), "VA" now will read "14" for my copy-pasted text edit, and individual letters are so far apart as to be unreadable. It would be nice to revert to a prior version where this extra step was never needed. (ie, I don't want to go through that extra step of selecting "0" for "VA" option, even though it looks like the default is set at "0". In my case the default is actually "14" though you would think it is "0"

Tabs duplicate in windows taskbar
Bug. I work with two monitors, and when I have the Adobe Acrobat window on one monitor, it shows as it should, but when I move the window to the other monitor the icons in the Windows taskbar multiplies, which get very annoying after just a few open dokuments. If I try to close a tab, the "duplicate" window in the taskbar is still there but empty. It has been like this for the last two updates of Acrobat I think. Please fix this error!

Add Option to Include Linked Non-PDF Attachments When Using "Create PDF from Web Page"
We have a webpage that contains hyperlinks to documents of various types (Word, Excel, PDF, etc.). We are trying to use Adobe Acrobat Pro's "Create PDF from Web Page" feature to create a single PDF that combines the web page and its documents into a single PDF.
However, Acrobat Pro is not converting Excel documents to PDFs and including them--it is producing an error and skipping them.
We opened a ticket with Adobe Enterprise Support, and they were able to reproduce the behavior: Acrobat shows a warning message and provides links that can be followed to download the attachments but does not automatically download and include the attachments in the PDF.
The feature/change that we are requesting is that Acrobat provide the capability to automatically download the items from the links and include them in the PDF generated by "Create PDF from Web Page."
The feature is needed because our organization is required to create PDFs representing web pages with many linked documents of varying types. It isn't practical to convert each linked document manually. Since Acrobat has the ability to convert these document types, it would be very beneficial for it to be able to convert and include them on its own.

Find text within page or page range
Allow us to look for text within just one page or within a range of pages. As in, not throughout the entire document. This would be super useful.

Zoom step / increment can be too large
Documents can be zoomed out with Ctrl + Mouse Wheel Down. The increments don't seem to be fixed, but rather depend on the size/shape of the Acrobat window, and possibly the document contents.
The lowest zoom level seems to be 1%. The next zoom level up might be something reasonable like 6.25%, however in some scenarios (large/mixed page size combined with small window size?) it is possible to get a zoom level too high such as 9.99%. The large jump in zoom makes it hard to navigate through the document. Adobe should implement some logic to limit the incremental zoom multiplier (i.e. insert additional zoom levels where needed).

Duplicating tags
The process for creating an accurate and PDF/UA proficient structure for example a list involves <L> -> <Li> -> <Lbl>, <LBody>. This is for ONE list item and a list rarely consist of just one list item so the three tags have to be created for each one. To get these items you need to right click, choose List item, click OK, right click choose Label, click OK, right click choose List item body, click OK, drag and drop List item body into <Li> and then drag and drop <LBody> into <Li>. This is just for the structure, then you also have to fill all tags with the correct data. Creating a single list item can take well over a minute. The time it takes in its inefficiency is one issue I have with this, but primarily it bugs me how incredibly tedious this is, and how stupid the Acrobat app seems to do what it's designed to. I see you did have a ticket for copy + paste of tags back in 2020, and that you "had your eyes on it" or something like that. Apparently absolutely nothing has happened in this area and truth be told I'm quite confident nothing will happen after me pointing it out yet again. But hey, "hope", am I right?

Backout from bad Patch
Often times the impact of a patch is so severe and so large that uninstalling complete application and reinstalling an older version take enormous amount of time and efforts. If the issue is wide spread to several thousand machines it is not an ideal situation for this uninstall reinstall work around. There should be a way to downgrade, backout or restore to older working patch till the issues is addressed and a new patch is safe to apply
P.S. PIV and Unit testing can only cover so much for not all scenarios and this is one reason why we do issues cascaded down and discovered by the users.

Bring Back the Multiple-Select Annotation Tool!
As a pro proofreader and copyeditor, I was so frustrated to learn that I could no longer select multiple instances of an error and make a global comment. This is a big fat drag for editors and their clients.
Also, yeah--enough with the AI. I don't want pop-up "tips," tutorials, offers. I just need to work. I also am capable of reading long-form copy, so I don't need an AI summary. WE ALL HATE THIS. Please make it stop.

Better information and guidance for Slotpark Bonus Codes
Slotpark Bonus Codes are useful for players who want to collect additional virtual rewards, but finding the current code and understanding how to redeem it can sometimes require checking several different places.
A useful feature would be a clearer bonus-code information area where users can quickly see whether a code is current, when it was published, how it should be entered, and what to check when it does not work.
Slotpark itself is a social casino platform where the in-game currency is called Slotpark Dollars. The official website also explains different types of bonuses, promotions and other features available to players.
Official Slotpark website:
https://www.slotpark.com/de/One particularly helpful improvement would be to separate different bonus-related information instead of displaying everything as a single promotion. For example, users could clearly distinguish between a daily bonus code, a longer-running promotional code, a direct bonus link and other rewards available inside Slotpark.
The redemption process should also be explained in a simple way. Users who already have a code should be able to understand where it needs to be entered and what common messages mean if the reward cannot be collected.
An independent German resource already organizes this type of information and provides current codes, previous codes, redemption guidance and troubleshooting information:
https://slotpark-bonuscodes.de/
This can be particularly useful when someone wants to check whether a code is still current before trying to redeem it.
It would also be helpful to provide more educational information about the wider Slotpark system. Bonus Codes are only one part of the platform. Users may also want to understand features such as the time bonus, daily bonus, VIP system, friends list and other reward mechanics.
Additional guides covering these topics can be found here:
https://slotpark-bonuscodes.de/category/tipps-guides/
A well-designed bonus section could therefore include:
• Current bonus or promotional code status
• Date of availability
• Simple redemption instructions
• Information about expired or previously claimed bonuses
• Explanation of common error messages
• Links to additional help and guides
• Clear distinction between official Slotpark information and independent third-party resourcesThis would reduce confusion for users who simply want to know which bonus is currently available and what they need to do next.
For official information, account-related questions and support, users should always refer to Slotpark directly. Independent websites can complement that information by organizing codes, tutorials and troubleshooting guides in an easier-to-follow format.
This suggestion is intended to improve clarity and make bonus-related information easier to understand for both new and existing Slotpark users.

Please give us the option to remove the quick access side bar
When working on a small screen with multiple documents open, the quick access side bar hinders proper viewing of the document. Try having 4 Adobe pdf documents open at the same time on a 13" screen and the quick access bar takes up more than 1/3 of the window. At least give us the option to remove it. I'm incredibly frustrated with this feature and it's generally not helpful nor makes work any quicker.

Problem with PKCS#7 signatures when using a Windows Digital ID (CSP)
We are writing to report a bug we have identified in Adobe Acrobat related to PKCS#7 digital signatures when signing without attaching the revocation status via CSP.
Issue Summary
When creating a PKCS#7 signature without adding the revocation status, the resulting signature is invalid.
Root Cause Analysis
After thorough investigation, we believe the issue originates in Adobe Acrobat's handling of the CSP calls. We logged that the function CPSetHashParam is called 63 times during the signing process, and an incorrect hash from the file is being passed. This results in an invalid signature being produced.
Workaround
We have identified that the issue does not occur when either of the following conditions is met:
- The default signature format is set to CAdES, or
- Adding the revocation status is enabled.
In both cases, CPSetHashParam is called only once, and the signature is produced correctly.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Configure Adobe Acrobat to use PKCS#7 as the default signature format.
2. Disable adding the revocation status.
3. Sign a document using a CSP-based certificate.
4. Observe that CPSetHashParam is invoked 63 times and the resulting signature is invalid.
Expected Behavior
CPSetHashParam should be called only once with the correct file hash, and the signature should be valid.
Environment
- Windows Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) 26.001.21563
- Signature format: PKCS#7
- Revocation status: not embedded
- Signing method: CSP (Cryptographic Service Provider)
We kindly ask you to investigate this issue and provide a fix or guidance at your earliest convenience. Please let us know if you require any additional logs or information.We are writing to report a bug we have identified in Adobe Acrobat related to PKCS#7 digital signatures when signing without attaching the revocation status via CSP.
