  1. After a system crash, Outlook stopped working completely. The OST file still exists, but it does not open anymore. I only need to read old emails in a browser without restoring the full Outlook setup. What options do I have?

  2. Strange behavior on Windows 11 taskbar when uncombined. As you can see in the attached video, the Adobe Acrobat icon is duplicated when shifting the windows to another monitor and stays like that until I close the app and open it again.
    It becomes very annoying when opening many files such as 5 or more. The taskbar will be full of Acrobat.

  3. In the Spanish version of Adobe Acrobat, the option corresponding to
    “Change only black text and line art” is translated as:

    “Cambiar solo el color del texto negro o arte lineal”

    The use of “o” (or) is misleading. It suggests an alternative or exclusive choice, while the original English text clearly refers to both elements together (“text and line art”).

    This wording creates confusion for users and makes it difficult to understand how this option interacts with the following one (“Change line art as well as text”).

    Suggested fix: replace “o” with “y”, or rephrase the Spanish text to explicitly…

  5. I use the photo to pdf conversion very often.
    Now when I want to help the screening enhance the file, it is marked but the button disappears.

    This is the status since the last update about 2-3 weeks ago.

  6. On MacOS Tahoe 26.0.1, while switching between tabs, the window automatically comes out of maximized mode. It is a minor issue, though unexpected. I want my windows to remain the way it is.

  7. When Acrobat is placed in full screen and multiple PDFs are open in tabs, everything works correctly at first — new files open as additional tabs within the same full-screen window. However, when switching between these tabs (for example, clicking from one document tab to another), Acrobat immediately exits full screen and reverts to a standard desktop window.

    This behaviour breaks macOS’s Spaces workflow, which is essential for professionals who rely on full-screen app management and gesture-based navigation between programs. It only occurs in Acrobat; other apps remain stable in full screen on Tahoe.

    The issue appears to have started…

  11. When merging two/more fillable forms that contain identical field names (e.g., 'Name' in two distinct form sections) into one document, the information from the first form automatically populates the corresponding fields across all forms. There should be an opt-out from this feature to prevent data duplication when the forms represent different information and still need to be combined in one document.

    • Open the attached "test53.pdf" in Adobe Acrobat.
    • The PDF contains 53 levels of nested Form XObjects (XObjects within XObjects).
    • Beyond a certain depth (52), the nested content does not render at all, even though the PDF is valid according to ISO 32000 (no recursion, only nesting).

    Expected behavior:
    Content should render consistently, as the PDF spec allows arbitrary nesting of Form XObjects.

    Actual behavior:
    Beyond 52 levels of nesting, the PDF viewer skips rendering the content.

    Attached is also a "test52.pdf" file with 52 levels of nested Form XObjects that renders correctly.

  13. I am getting this error message "There was an error while reading a stream" when opening several newly created PDFs today. Older files open fine. I have the latest Adobe reader DC and have tried a reinstall. If I open the files within a browser, either Chrome or Firefox, they open just fine.

  14. When you have multiple documents open, they appear as tabs on the top of the screen. The tabs are really large. When you have a split screen (so sharing Adobe with a different software at the same time on your screen), only one tab shows at a time because the tabs are so large. It makes it very difficult to move between documents. The old version of Acrobat Pro had the tabs smaller so you could more easily navigate between documents at once.

  15. Supposedly, I have Acrobat Reader installed - I honestly can't even tell. That's what the menu has anyway, "About Acrobat Reader". Everywhere else it's just "Adobe Acrobat". I clicked on Share feedback, it took me to this page - "Acrobat for Windows and Mac". But in that long list on the left, there's a separate link/section "Acrobat Reader for Windows and Mac". Like I said, I can't even tell this much, not with any certainty. And then, supposedly, it's "DC", the version that came after 11 (or was it XI?), but then the About section only says 2025.001.21151. I can't…

  16. Your AI is useless. I cannot figure out how to get ANY Help from Adobe. I click Visit Help. I try their fix, but I cannot get to "

    "Open Acrobat.

    Select Menu > Help > " THIS IS WHERE I AM STYMIED. WHERE IS THE NEXT STEP CHECKING FOR UPDATES."Check for updates (Windows) or Help > Check for updates (macOS).

    Install available updates and restart Acrobat. "

    Your AI help is helpless, clueless and wasting my time.

  17. There has been a major issue with dragging PDFs from an email (outlook) to a personal drive on Windows and from there not being able to open/view the PDF with an error message popping up. I now have to open the adobe PDF in the email and print as Adobe PDF and save, which takes more time. Also, I just became aware of this issue and I'm no longer to able to access older PDFs that I have saved originally by dragging, which was no issue before.

  18. Microsoft blocked-off standard users being able to add features later (to the installation from CCDA - eg PreFlight to allow production and verification of PDF/A). This was by blocking MSI repair and feature additions for standard users. MSI being run by SYSTEM/local admin from a full installer and configured to simply pre-install everything does work (eg ADDLOCAL=ALL).

    We have now deployed the 64-bit installer as enterprise-managed, as all-inclusive, as above.

    Also, we need to either:

    • Hide the CCDA installation of Acrobat Pro (because the default does not include all features)
    OR
    • Have the CCDA configurable to install all…

  19. When opening a fillable form in Acrobat. Upon the first time its opened, edited, and saved acrobat states it cannot save the file. No protections enabled. After closing all the prompts and the save window. When you save the file again it saves without a message. The save went through when its re opened. Seems to only happen when you first open the software.
    I cannot show much in images because it is private info.

    Windows laptop continual update version. If you are a dev. then I have an older email attached to the account different from this one.
