  1. Give option to have tool bars back as in version Adobe Pro XI

    You should make it optional to have either the icon tool bar or the same tool bar you have in Adobe Pro XI. To tell you that I HATE the icons is an understatement because you have to open them individually and it's hard to find what you are looking for. Meanwhile it makes me feel as if you think I'm stupid or an idiot. I'm fairly well educated and hate icons taking half of the page that could have been used for editing a document.

  2. Home/Tools/Document Tabs are intrusive and annoying

    It's pointless to customize and 'show' tool icons in the toolbar, because those tools that I want and use are hidden under the 3 dots. And that happens because Home, Tools, Document, and My Account is stuck permanently and uselessly in the toolbar.

    I have set the program to open multiple files in separate windows, so I don't need the Document tab. The Tools sidebar can be opened by clicking in the margin at the edge of the window, so I don't need that. And if users need to open and close files within the program (can't understand why), then…

  4. the new layout is not helpful

    Please revert back to the old layout. Trying to add comments is just painful. I used to be able to quickly select icons to delete, change and replace, add comments, highlight with ease.

    Now everything requires an extra step which is just slowing the process. And now it looks like I can no longer cross text out (without relpacing). Please revert back. It was the perfect tool before. Now it's just awkward and cumbersome and it's leaving me so frustrated.

  5. Toolbar Issue

    Allow all users to choose how they use toolbars, so they can set it up to however they work. This means allowing them to turn it on or off. If on, allow users to dock it to whatever part of the screen they want it on, top, bottom, left or right. And finally, allow them to expand the toolbar to be able to read the names OR have just the icons themselves. The new version isn't that bad, the users just need to know where the tools are, so they can use them. So my final suggestion is to have…

  6. Intelligent "Smart Merge" with Content-Aware De-Duplication and Date Sorting

    I manage a large archive of scanned documents stored across multiple cloud services (iCloud, OneDrive). Over time, I have accumulated many files with redundant content (e.g., the same pages scanned multiple times in different files). Currently, there is no easy way to merge these files without manually reviewing and deleting hundreds of duplicate pages.

    Proposed Solution: I would like to request a "Smart Merge" feature in Acrobat Pro that includes:

    Content-Aware De-Duplication: During the merge process, Acrobat should analyze the visual/text content of pages (not just file names) and automatically identify and remove identical pages.

    Chronological Sorting: An option to…

  7. Feedback on Adobe DC

    I'd like to give feedback on how clunky the new layout/design of Adobe DC is. I really strongly dislike the zoom icons being down in the bottom right corner of screen. Why can't they be next to the save icon?
    Also, the tools menu should be put back on the right side of screen where the other tools are, to save us from having to flick between menus on both the left and right of screen.

  8. Acrobat and Apple Mission Control drag and drop

    If Acrobat is open, and you use hot corners in Apple Mission Control for "Show Desktop", icons on the desktop are not selectable. If Acrobat is closes, normal Mission Control behaviour resumes.

  9. no reason to change the layout. frustrating and a waste of time.

  10. All the requests below are for the return of Acrobat 8 or 9. Face it, you screwed up.

    DC is not worthy of professionals. Bring back a professional grade Acrobat like 8 or 9 and stop with the cute icons.........

  11. Pan & Select Buttons in Main toolbar

    Please ungroup the Pan and Select icons in the toolbar. As an engineer who goes through dozens and dozens of PDF'd prints every day, the added step of switching between the two has become cumbersome very quickly. Here's the background: when I receive a D-sized print I need to be able to zoom in and then pan around, and usually do so quickly. I thought nothing of the change (once I figured out they were grouped), but it's slowly become annoying. There's plenty of space over there.

  12. Acrobat DC needs user interface scaling

    Acrobat DC (2022) needs a "user interface scaling" preference similar to the preference in InDesign 2022. The Acrobat DC menu bar and icons are too large on my 27" retina display. I'd like an easy way to reduce their sizes like I can in InDesign. I'd also like to see the comments list more compact like it used to be in Acrobat X.

  13. Get rid of that almost-invisible new pdf icon

    This new icon makes my computer look like it has some fatal disease. Please do something about it. Who makes decisions about the new icon design? IT is not only confusing, but hard to identify and locate files. Please revise it again, soon...don't wait another 10 years.

  14. Custom Icon for Custom Commands/Actions

    Allow users to assign unique icons to custom commands in the toolbar.

    Currently, all custom commands/actions in a tool bar use the same icon so the user must remember the order they are in and/or mouseover the icon to see the tooltip in order to confirm they are clicking on the right command.

    It would be nice if we could choose from, say, a list of 25 or 50 icon images and assign them to the actions as a way of helping to quickly identify which is which (kind of like how Microsoft's quick access toolbar does in Word/Excel, etc).

  15. Icon and Recent File List

    The new white icon is very uncomfortable. I'd prefer the old icon file please. But even more important is the Recently Opened Files list ... now that thumbnails are included, the names of the files are TINY. I need to know how to make those file names larger, as I use this list multiple times daily! Please make the list as it used to be.

  16. Mac Acrobat DC Does Not Create PDF from Excel

    When I drag an excel file to the Adobe dock icon or attempt to create a PDF in Acrobat I get an error of a duplicate file in the temp folder.

    I've tried clearing out the temp folder. Also, I've reinstalled Acrobat and Microsoft office. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  18. Set 'prepare form' properties to preferred defaults for all future forms

    When converting a .pdf into a fillable form ('Prepare Form') please create an option to set properties so that Acrobat will always apply my preferred properties as the default.

    It is inefficient to always convert the font and other properties to the settings I prefer for the forms I design.

    I am aware I can set defaults for fields once the form is prepared and then duplicate this in a given form. I am also aware that I can multiple-select fields and change the properties for a group. However, I'd like a more efficient default-setting option, please.

    EG: I use…

  19. BUG / Expand to see Thumbnails / Acrobat 2020 Standard (PC)

    This is a bug. When I go over the vertical bar (column) on the left side of the window to make the Thumbnails, Booksmarks and Attachments icons visible, I have to be in the perfect spot to click on it. Otherwise, Acrobat won't let me click even though I'm on top of the bar. Please fix - this should be easy to both reproduce and fix.

  20. BUG - Modal at Bottom of Form Duplicates Itself Constantly

    Zoom in to 300 (might also occur more or less but figuring out the exact steps to duplicate this takes a lot of time even though I accidentally cause it to happen all of the time). Start clicking on the horizontal scroll bar arrows multiple times, or hold/scroll with the actual horizontal scroll bar and eventually this will happen. I think something is triggering it to scroll in both directions... maybe something with the mouse causes it to also scroll vertically... but adobe will render up to three modals (from what I've seen) and then sometimes two of them stay…
