1. Open the attached document, which is a dishwasher manual, in Acrobat reader, and search for the word "floor". It will not be found. However, it's present in the document on page 6 in the bottom of the left column.




2. In Reader, go to the page 6 and copy to clipboard the line beginning with "When the GREEN LIGHT"'; then open Notepad and paste. You will see the space in the middle of the word "floor".

So it looks like the text has a space in the middle, although the word appears in Reader without the space. This makes more difficult text operations and search.

The copy paste function doesn't work with words that contain letters with accents on my Mac running Big Sur. Letters with accents paste as a space. It doesn't matter where I paste the text. The result is the same. This is a real problem for people using languages with a lot of accents. I'm able to open the same PDF using Preview and copy/paste the same text and see all the letters.

I opened another PDF that was created years ago with accented letters. The copy/paste worked in my browser and in Preview. I had the same problem when copying/pasting using the Acrobat Reader on Big Sur.

The version I have installed includes support for Intel based Mac computers which I assume is the problem. Hopefully an Apple Silicone version of the reader will be available soon.

I'm working on a book and constantly use very large documents (300-600 pages) that I need to search through for specific terms. Trying to search for something as simple as a single word doesn't work 95% of the time. The app either (1) freezes and never returns results or (2) presents hundreds or even thousands of results for the first letter(s) of the term I entered in the search box. Ironically, I've uploaded those same huge PDFs to my iPhone and Adobe Acrobat Reader works perfectly, easily finding those exact same words in those exact same huge documents within second. So I know it's not about the length/size of the document -- it's something Reader isn't doing right on my MacBook Pro. I'm attaching a screenshot of me searching for the term "senna" and Reader showing as results 496 words that start with "se". I'm also attaching a screenshot from my iPhone with the instant and correct search results on the same PDF - the term "senna" only exists 4 times in the document. This happens to me every day with dozens of large PDFs. Please help! It's very frustrating. I often have to force close Reader because it can't handle my search. And it only happens in large docs. Thanks! (Using 2017 MacBook Pro with touch bar and the latest OS and iPhone 11 Pro with the latest iOS). -- NOTE: Tried uploading JPEG screenshots and the website wouldn't let me.

I am trying to sign in to another adobe account on my desktop. The way the software application has been built MAKES THAT EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE

Because for whatever reason, who ever developed the sign-in flow DIDN'T REALIZE THAT PERHAPS SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO LOG IN TO ANOTHER ACCOUNT SO LETS GIVE THE USERS THE OPTION TO DO JUST THAT!

Instead, what the application does, is it forces the user to continually log into the same **** account and no matter how many times you try to get to log in page, it AUTOMATICALLY SIGNS YOU IN

WHY DOES YOUR SOFTWARE HAVE TO FORCE ME TO GO TO CREATIVE CLOUD?

WHY DO I HAVE TO TAKE THIS ROUND ABOUT APPROACH TO SIMPLY LOG INTO ANOTHER ACCOUNT?

DOES IT SOUND LOGICAL? CONSIDERING IF I COULD SIMPLY JUST LOG IN AND OUT FROM ADOBE DC WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE THIS DRAWN OUT JOURNEY!

I share PDFs to clients and they correctly receive the email and click the button link which displays the shared PDF.
I'm sure that in the past I've received email notifications whenever they have viewed the file. (The status of the PDF then updates in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC desktop app to say 'VIEWED' or 'OPENED'.)
Recently I've had no notifications and no updates and yet the client HAS received and viewed the PDF. Through much testing, I've worked out that the notifications/updates only trigger if the client is signed in to Adobe (with an Adobe ID) which I find limiting.
I like the assurance that a PDF HAS been VIEWED (and therefore RECEIVED) as part of my workflow and suggest that the act of clicking the link button in the recipient's email SHOULD trigger a VIEWED notification regardless of whether the person is signed in to Adobe or not. Afterall, the email that I am entering to share the PDF is the same as the one receiving the email. Clicking the link implies that they are giving permission to view the PDF from me.
WeTransfer triggers a download notification using the same kind of emailed link.

In Windows 10, the file type association for .pdf stops working after upgrading from Adobe Reader 2017 (Classic Track) to Reader 2020 (Classic Track). Issue occurs if file association was originally configured by DISM or user for previous Adobe Reader version. The same .pdf file association is expected to work with new Adobe Reader versions.

Double-clicking a PDF file displays Windows prompt "How do you want to open this file?". The HKCR registry key still contains an entry for the ProgID, AcroExch.Document.2017. Should the Reader 2020 installer remove the HKCR\AcroExch.Document.2017 registry key? Deleting the key appears to resolve the issue.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Install Windows 10 Enterprise.
2. Install Adobe Reader 2017 (Classic Track) using bootstrapper installation (setup.exe).
3. Set default PDF program manually. This can also be applied using DISM during operating system deployment with XML containing the following entry; <Association Identifier=".pdf" ProgId="AcroExch.Document.2017" ApplicationName="Adobe Acrobat Reader 2017" />
4. Install Adobe Reader 2020 (Classic Track) using bootstrapper installation (setup.exe).
