The attached PDF file contains a bitonal image which uses the DeviceGray color space, has a BitsPerComponent value of 1, and uses color key masking to make the white pixels transparent (via a Mask array).

The file contains a shipping label with a large X over the entire label, and the text "VOID" over the barcode. One of the lines forming the large X is under the image, and the other is above the image. The "VOID" text is under the label image.

Expected Result: The large X and the "VOID" text are fully visible at any window size, and remain visible both during and after window resize.

Actual Result: When the Acrobat Reader window is larger than a certain size, the image white color mask works correctly and the full X and "VOID" text are visible. But below a certain window size, as the window gets smaller, the full X and the "VOID" text are only visible during the window resize, and become invisible as soon as the window has finished resizing. Please see attached GIF of the window resizing. One of the lines in the X remains visible throughout, because it is not below the image, and thus is not affected by the broken color masking.

Environment: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2021.011.20039 on Windows 7

[Problem]
Comparing Acrobat Pro/Reader 32-bit, the PMI and the outline of 3D model are unclear on Acrobat Reader DC 64-bit.
(Please find the attached sample PDF and captures, test01-03.)

"DirectX 9" is able to be selected from the renderer option on Acrobat Pro/Reader 32-bit.
(Edit -> Preferences -> Multimedia & 3D -> Preferred Renderer)
However, it doesn't exist on Acrobat Reader DC 64-bit. So, only "Software" is available.
Therefore, the PMI and the outline of 3D model are unclear.
(Please find the attached captures #1&#2.)

Acrobat Reader DC 32-bit: 2021.007.20099

[Request]
Please make “DirectX 9” selectable on Acrobat Reader DC 64-bit.

Top Considerations Before Migrating

Ensure Your Active Directory is Healthy
If you’re an Active Directory house (and you probably are), you’re most likely going to use something called Azure AD Connect (AADC). This allows folks to login with the same credentials they use for applications not being moved to the cloud.

But first, you need to ensure your Active Directory is healthy enough to synchronize with Azure. This means bringing a couple of tools into play.

First, review your Organizational Unit (OU) structure and decide if you want all that extraneous data pushed into the cloud. Many objects aren’t necessary for the cloud, so why push them there? Perhaps all you need to be migrated are user accounts and some distribution and security groups. Better to adjust the structure so that when you select the OUs to synchronize in Azure AD Connect (AADC), you don’t have to jump through more hoops to select what you want (and deselect what you don’t).

Next, run Microsoft’s IdFix tool. This will provide a report of all the fields (names, addresses, etc.) that are incompatible with Azure Active Directory. IdFix also finds duplicate addresses and invalid characters. Since you’ve already tidied up the OU structure, you can tackle the objects you know are in-scope first, then return to clean up the rest of the directory when time permits.

Review Your Current Email Environment

Spend some time cleaning up old distribution lists and removing mailboxes that are no longer required or in use. You don’t want to waste time (and perhaps licenses) on old data and users who are no longer with the company. Work with HR to clean the Exchange databases and purge any mailboxes that are no longer required. Management, legal and perhaps HR will also have a handle on how many emails ought to be retained. Sometimes, policies to purge old data are not universally applied. Don’t forget to ask users to purge data they know they shouldn’t keep but are reluctant to delete. The more unnecessary data you have, the longer it will take to move the good data to Exchange online with the help of the Exchange Online Migration service..

Prepare Your Existing Email Security & Hygiene
Message hygiene solutions are prevalent these days, both on-premises and cloud-based. These include Mimecast, Proofpoint, and Barracuda, to name just three. Each of these offers documentation on integrating with Office 365. Mainly, these services scan and pass SMTP traffic, so there’s little else that need to be done. Download the relevant documentation from the vendor and review the Office 365 sections. These will help you configure the service to send Email into Office 365 rather than to the on-premises server, as well as configuring the outbound connector to send messages from Office 365 Cloud to Cloud Migration based solution.

Gather Info About All Applications & Services for SMTP Relay
Gather information about all applications deployed on-premises that need to send Email. Your IT help desk system, timesheet system, and expense notifications will all need to start delivering Email to Office 365. At your earliest opportunity, document everything and discuss reconfiguring the applications with the service owners. It’s best to get these things ironed out before moving users.

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.
