  1. I have been freelancing for a while and I want to branch out into different niches under separate profiles to attract different clients. The problem is the main platforms are really strict about having only one identity. How do people handle this without getting flagged and losing everything overnight?

  4. The latest update to Adobe Reader DC 32 bit version 25.001.21208 no longer launches on Windows 7 SP1 x64 as the previous version worked just fine. Although Windows 7 is long out of support it is still listed as a supported OS for Adobe reader and the incompatible update is automatically being pushed out to these systems. Error upon launch is The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-winrt-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem

  5. Issue:

    Adobe's unified installer is currently taking 2.53 diskspace and not suitable for adobe reader users. We are wasting the disk space there. So, we need a new unified installer where it can act as reader with less disk space and can upgrade into Acrobat pro once the license is allocated to user. All those premium features should get installed on top of this unified package based on license.
    This helps on using the disk space efficiently.

    I think this is practically possible and will be more use full for all organizations

    Single unified package :

    Should act as adobe…

  7. Defect report
    Adobe Acrobat reader
    Version: 2026.001.21691 64-bit

    Seach function is not working when using paratheses "(" or commas ","

    Industry standard documents for medical equipment, the DICOM conformance statements contain DICOM tags. The format is (xxxx,xxxx)
    Search for this in a PDF is not possible. There are two issues:

    • starting a search with a parenthesis "(" show not results. (see screenshot is attached document)

    • search for text with a comma "," shows -no matches- when clicking on one of the items in the search result list, where there are many matches.

    Any suggestions?

  8. Posting this on behalf of a client using WIndows 11. She attempted to open a PDF with Adobe Reader both at work and home, expecting to be able to open and view the PDF as normal, only it suddenly forced her to sign in. Once she signed in, the .json files on both her computers were forcibly associated to Adobe, even though it can't open .json files. It is possible the app upgraded to Pro without a subscription, which I have read is a notable issue experienced by users. This is an issue as she was using a PYQT6 app…

  9. Acrobat DC appears to update TWICE after a number of days.
    See the attached history and release dates.

    The first instal was created soon after the release was announced.
    The subsequent instal appears automatically a few days later.

    This HAS to be a BUG. Please investigate and fix a.s.a.p.
    Thx Raphael

  11. Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription without (additionally paying for) bulk such as Photoshop Express, Premiere Rush, Cloud Storage, AI, Firefly and whatnot. Just a program for locally reading, creating, editing, signing, searching, comparing, converting, optimzing... PDFs.

  12. It looks it is not taken into account that for the languages with diacritic characters (like in Polish language for example) when a text filled contains diacritic characters a sheriff type font is seleted automatically and when a text does not contain diacritic characters - a non-sheriff type font is seleted automatically. Moreover the font sizes do not match. That leads to situation where the same document presents the texts with significantly different fonts and finally it looks rather unprofessionally.
    Note that in general a non-sheriff type font is preffered.

  13. Hello Adobe Team,

    With the introduction of Adobe’s powerful AI and editing tools, PDF editing has become easier than ever. However, this poses a major challenge to the psychological trust of "the vast majority of light users."

    For decades, ordinary users have perceived a .pdf file as a digital equivalent of a "printed paper"—an unalterable, finalized document. They do not check properties (Ctrl+D) or look for hidden security tabs. They simply open the viewer, read the file, and trust that it is the definitive, original version.

    As editing tools become more mainstream, these light users will face growing anxiety: "Is…

  14. Acrobat Pro: 2026.001.21691 (64-bit):
    Using Virtual Printer PSA API v4 based designed drivers, Choose Paper Source by PDF page size does not function as expected.

    Preview indications within Acrobat's print dialog correctly choose PageMediaSize member within PageMediaSizeFeature of WorkflowPrintTicket, however during actual printing process, the same member(s) are not chosen.

    Instead, driver preferences default page size selection is seen in the delivered WorkflowPrintTicket. Both can be observed within the OnPrintTicketValidationRequested() event. The PDL being generated is Postscript.

    This occurs for single page PDFs, as well as those that are multipage with varying sizes. In either case all pages perfectly match…

  15. Quería compartir mi opinión sobre qué factores influyen en el ritmo del juego. No se trata únicamente de la velocidad de las rondas, sino también de cómo están diseñadas las mecánicas, la frecuencia de las recompensas y la interacción con la interfaz. En mi experiencia jugando en https://plataformahcvb.cl/ he notado que el ritmo cambia mucho según el tipo de modalidad y la manera en que se presentan las opciones al usuario, lo que afecta directamente la sensación de dinamismo y control. Plataforma HCVB me parece un buen ejemplo de cómo una estructura clara y bien organizada puede marcar la diferencia,…

  16. I just installed version 2026.001.21691, 64 bit, running on Windows 11. When I disable scrolling, and I'm in the "2 pages side by side" mode, when I click the arrow to go forward or backward, I get a popup that says “Bad parameter.”

  20. I'm going to just remove the entire app if you don't stop changing my preferences. I DON'T want adobe to automatically open every PDF I generate or download. I keep deselecting the defaults in my preferences. But the buttons keep getting turned back on.
