Microsoft Access Cloud:

For over twenty years, Microsoft Access Database has been one of the leading relational databases used by modern enterprises, a critical part of Office and Microsoft 365. It is a pioneer in low-code, no code database solution development. However, with the emergence of the cloud, Access customers tell us they need more hybrid solutions that keep the value and ease of use of Access with the value and flexibility of cloud-based storage and development platforms.

Making your Access solutions mobile with the Power Platform

One of the most requested capabilities Access users ask for is the ability to bring Access data and data entry onto a mobile device. With the new Access connector for Power Platform, Access data can now be brought onto any mobile device; your organization’s data is easily migrated to Dataverse where it can then be used to create a mobile Power App.

With the flexibility of the Power Platform and integration across multiple services, you can add features to the Power App to further customize how your Access data is consumed (figure 2) and viewed. This is one of the many ways the Access connector can help your organization bring its Access data into more applications and devices for consumption, viewing and real-time data entry. Now large organizations who depend on Access, can create hybrid solutions that embrace the cloud, and enable form factors beyond the PC to better meet their business goals.

Connecting Access to Microsoft Teams

Another exciting new capability the Access connector enables is allowing your employees to view and edit Access data in Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams has rapidly grown into the collaboration tool of choice for the modern enterprise. Teams has nearly a quarter billion monthly active users, and now these users can view Access data right inside the Teams UI as they work with colleagues and execute on daily tasks. With the Access connector, Access data is migrated into Dataverse for Teams and can then be viewed by Teams users.

Now organizations can modernize their solutions and easily migrate across different scenarios. Some users who prefer Teams can replicate their Access forms as apps in Teams, while other users can continue to use the Access forms they know and love on their PCs. Meanwhile, IT managers can rest easy as all this is managed with a single data store in the cloud through Dataverse.

Adobe Reader is very slow after I resize the window on my Windows 10 laptop. This includes maximizing and restoring down a window. If I only open one document, it usually takes 1-3 seconds to respond, depending on how complicated the document is. This is already significantly slower than Firefox and Chrome. Furthermore, if I open two documents, resizing takes 3-6 seconds, and longer when more document tabs are opened. This is a big performance issue. Looks like Adobe Reader is rendering all the documents synchronously after the window is resized, which is completely unnecessary; it should only render the current tab synchronously and render the other tabs in the background.

The two problems add up and cause significant performance issue when I try to move the window between monitors. The window often get stuck for at least 10 seconds, because it will do the inefficient rendering several times; one time for resizing the window on one monitor, one time for changing the scaling because two monitors have different DPIs, and one final resizing for maximizing the window on the new monitor. This results in an unacceptable "not responding" freeze.

I do hope Adobe could improve the performance of PDF rendering. The current version is really wasting me so much time waiting for the frozen window.

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 use acrobat for work and use it mostly for map prints I have to add notes and add lines. So I use the connected line tools from the comment section to draw the lines from certain points on the map print but I don't really like it because it sometimes makes it hard to get to one point to the next when I have the map print zoomed in . I can't scroll to get to the next point when using the connected lines tool. It's frustrating, so I would like there to be a pen tool like in photoshop to create lines and also be able to do curved line and arrow tool to be able to grab the point I need to get if I need to move just the point and not the whole line. The pen tool should be where connected line tool is at in the comment section in acrobat. Sometimes when I use the connected line tool and i want to move a point of one of the lines when the lines are on top of each other it gets the whole line of another line I don't want. I don't use photoshop because it would take me longer to finish the map print because the map print I open in acrobat are a few pages and photoshop can't open a document with pages like acrobat does. I think Adobe acrobat should have more tools that photoshop has that could help people using acrobat. For mac, ipad and windows
