  1. Critical workflow regression: Missing modification asterisk, broken autosave indicators, and forced UI changes in new Acrobat
    This report describes multiple regressions introduced by the forced New Acrobat experience that significantly disrupted my workflow and removed essential functionality.
    Description:
    I want to report several issues caused by the forced rollout of the new Acrobat experience. These changes significantly disrupted my workflow and required extensive troubleshooting to restore basic functionality.
    1. Removal of the modification asterisk
    The classic asterisk indicator (showing when a PDF has unsaved changes) no longer appears, even in Classic mode. This is a critical regression. Without it, there…

  2. Steps to reproduce the issue: Create portfolio from multiple email messages in Outlook and attempt to change column headers and set a split view.

    Environment: Acrobat Pro 2024/Classic, Windows 11, Outlook 365.

    Expected result: In the previous version of Acrobat (2020 Pro, perpetual licence) I could open an email portfolio file and make minor changes, primarily to 1) set a horizontal/vertical window split view and 2) add a “To” column the default From/Subject/Date/Attachments/Size columns.

    Observed result: When right-clicking on a column heading the previously existing right-click "View" context/submenu is missing. See attached screenshots. The functionality is still there because I'm…

  3. Steps to reproduce: In Outlook, right-click on selected emails and choose "Append to Adobe PDF" to add further emails to an existing portfolio.

    Environment: Acrobat Pro 2024 / Classic, Windows 11, Outlook 365.

    Expected result: Additional emails are appended to an existing portfolio created using the Outlook PDFMaker add-in.

    Observed result: The append process begins but is stalled by the error message "PDFMaker cannot append to the selected Adobe PDF archive because it was not created by Outlook PDFMaker". The process is then cancelled.

    Additional information: As shown, I used Outlook's PDFMaker add-in to create the portfolio, and attempted to…

  4. I have very simple PDF receipts that are usually between 500-600KB. Clicking on Optimize PDF, then Reduce File Size should simply reduce the file size. But this usually needs to be done THREE times. I'm not changing the name or location. Why must I pay $239.88 for an app that can't do something that should be easily done?

  5. If I have a Word document with table/figure captions and use Microsoft Word 365 to create a PDF (save as pdf), Caption tags are created in the tag structure.
    However, if I use Adobe Acrobat Pro (Adobe PDFMaker 25/Adobe PDF Library 25.1.5) to create a PDF, Paragraph tags are created in the tag structure instead.

  6. When using PDF Spaces and AI Assistant, the AI Assistant doesn't always recognise files that have been added later in the process. So, for example, if you are completing a research paper and some new evidence has come to light, you add that new evidence, and use AI Assistant to search all papers, there have been times where it will not reference that new paper. This risks leading to gaps in research for people who may be working with files closer to the 100 file limit.

  7. The AI Assistant does not provide citations when using PDF Spaces in the desktop version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both copies of the program, logged out, logged back in, cleared the cache, cleared the history, turned the citations off and on again, NOTHING fixes it. There is a bug. This is happening both on my Mac and PC.

    This does not seem to be affecting single files, nor PDF Spaces in the web version, but the desktop version, my preferred version, will not provide citations. It does provide the summary though, but I would prefer the citations.

  8. Currently, many users rely on inefficient workarounds to transfer files between devices, such as sending documents to themselves via WhatsApp Web or email.

    It would be highly beneficial to introduce a feature that allows direct file transfer between devices without relying on cloud services.

    Proposed solution:
    When opening a file (e.g., a PDF) in an Adobe application, the system could generate a unique, temporary QR code. By scanning this code with a mobile device, the file would be downloaded directly onto the phone, using a local or peer-to-peer connection.

  9. The Adobe PDF Embed API viewer displays a rendering error when the screen has a specific resolution; the text search bar overflows the visible area. The bug is reproducible on the online demo available at
    https://acrobatservices.adobe.com/view-sdk-demo/index.html#/view/FULL_WINDOW/Bodea%20Brochure.pdf
    in full‑window mode, by clicking the button that opens the text search on a 1920×1200 notebook screen.

  10. I am annoyed and distracted by the constant prompts to use Adobe's Generative AI feature. I do not want this feature. I have disabled the feature. But I still see a brightly colored button advertising it every time I open Adobe. What is worse, when I try to do a simple search, I get another prompt encouraging me to use Generative AI. I already pay $20/month for Acrobat. I should not have view ads on software I am paying for. But Adobe repeatedly forces me to view what is essentially an ad for an feature I do not want. It's…

  12. Acrobat Pro - Right clicking only reveals source file in Finder if acrobat doesn't detect any 'changes' .

    This action is a core part of Mac functionality - every app on the system reveals the file location by right clicking at the top of the window. Please fix.

  13. Bug/issue: Tagged Link structure reversed when exporting from InDesign 2026 to PDF - Windows.

    We have a hyperlinked grouped object in InDesign 2026, when exporting this to PDF the Tag structure makes the <Link> tag the child of the parent <Figure> (which is incorrect), whereas when the same file is converted and exported from InDesign 2025, it makes the <Figure> the child of the parent <Link> (which is correct).

    This is causing an accessibility failure, and we have 300 to manually correct in our PDF document which is time consuming, and we don't want to convert the file should anything…

  14. When merging multiple PDFs into one and organizing the pages, Adobe on occasion will copy data fields from one page on top of another page overwriting the original data without my knowledge or permission. This is a major bug that needs fixed ASAP

  16. I'm having issues when creating links in a PDF file with Adobe Acrobat (Pro) (Continuous Release | Version 2025.001.21288 |64-Bit).

    When I create the link to another PDF while the original PDF is in location A (a network location, that is addressed with the absolute location: \netServer\netFolder\fileName.pdf), the link works fine and the linked file is opened in Adobe Reader displayed.

    This is how the link is created (German version):

    Verknüpfungseigenschaften > Aktionen > Aktion hinzufügen > Aktion auswählen > Artikel lesen
    Aktionen > Datei öffnen > File

    English should look like this:

    Link Properties > Actions tab > Select…

  17. disable annoying popups like "Translate with Adobe Express" or let us disable them in options with one click. It looks like Adobe is out of finding useful functions and just adding more and more clutter to all excising apps.

  20. PDF Spaces doesn't work in Spanish language!
    Spaces are a nightmare! when the title of the archive contains an ñ or an accent, it simply informs of an error.
    I think acrobat is very expensive to expect so many mistakes
