  1. In the Bookmarks pane, the mouse wheel does not scroll like it should (and used to). Windows 10 and Windows 11 machines are affected, with both Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro.

  2. This bug has been reported before. It was claimed that it was fixed in version 22.2.20191 (see this discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader-discussions/adobe-stays-open-after-quick-print/td-p/13068306), but we can still reproduce it in current version 23.8.20533.

    The problem is that when a print command is issued to Acrobat, the application opens, prints, but does not close again when printing is finished.

    We have a customer needing to print batches containing hundreds of documents. Because Acrobat misbehaves, a batch will get stuck whenever a PDF is encountered. The only work-around we found in Acrobat is to manually close the application after each print job. Of course…

  5. Excel supports jumping to a specific workbook sheet by linking to the document and sheet name, similar to an HTML anchor tag. In other words, if an Excel worksheet, named "report.xlsx", contains sheets named "title_page" and "summary", you can link directly to the "summary" sheet using a link like "report.xlsx#summary". You can even link to a specific cell by appending the cell address after an exclamation mark, as in: "report.xlsx#summary!H42". If the sheet name contains spaces, it can be wrapped in single quotes: "report.xlsx#'summary page'!H42".
    All of these links work from Word documents, but Acrobat seems to strip the anchor…

  6. hide the "all tools" toolbar by default. this toolbar is only needed sometimes. this feature is enabled for the exception instead of the rule. since it takes up one-third of the display window and is on the left, it is distracting. when it was on the right, it wasn't as distracting. when viewing many pdfs over the course of the day, having to give up one third of the screen to a useless toolbar is frustrating.

  7. Option in settings for the bookmark/comments and/or 'all tools' pane to be minimised on opening of any file. The user should be given control over their preference, rather than how the document was saved. The 2 panes together take up almost half the screen area and I have to manually close them each time I open a new file. There should be an option in setting to over ride any pre-sets of the file. The creator of the file should have no control over my user experience of Adobe Reader.

  9. If "All Tools" was a living creature, I'd destroy it with Samurai inspired violence!

    If you add a "disable sidebar" function to a near future build, I'll build you a state-of-the-art spaceship that's fitted with cannons that shoot armies of blood thirsty killer crocodiles @ all your enemies. The crocodiles have cybernetic eyes that shoot swarms of heat-seeking killer bees that were trained by the legendary Samurai, Miyamoto Musashi.

    Discuss my "Once In A Lifetime" offer with your DEV team & report back.

  10. **** annoying to close the tools when opening a document. The "last tools state" doesn't work in the preferences. Gone back to the old look-n-feel.

  12. Stop Check for Updates "Update Failed" condition when run by a non Administrator.
    Adobe Reader version 2024.002.20895 (32bit). On some Windows 10 Pcs the "Check for Updates" function works as expected and finds updates if they are available.
    On others the "Check for Updates" function fails with the "Update failed" message, when run by an ordinary user (i.e when not Run as an Administrator).
    But when "Run as Administrator" that same "Check for Updates" function works normally and downloads and installs updates, if they are available.

  13. Adobe Acrobat Reader asks me why I would switch to the old interface, rejecting the new one. Simple. Old interface: Annoying sidebar always appears initially expanded, but does not obscure the document in any way; rather, the document is scaled down to fit screen appropriately. New Interface: Sidebar now on the left, obscures document annoyingly. Never do I need your sidebar items; I just want to read a document, not write a tome in PDF.

  14. Acrobat Reader DC MUI v24.002.20687 that is already configured to always open documents in "Protected View" was unable to confirm me that a Digital signature was already existing in a digitally signed document (I even checked Document properties with [Ctrl]+[D]) that when instead opened with Microsoft Edge Enterprise v109.0.1518.140 (Official build)(64-bit) immediately informed me that "This document is digitally signed. Some signatures couldn't be verified. View signatures" and so it immediately allowed me to see what was digital signature.
    Now I understand that 'Protected View' is already a security feature and that also has some limitations (I even found that…

  16. The app should respect the OS setting to always show scroll bars. Instead, the scroll bar disappears after scrolling even though the OS setting is to always show scroll bars.

    This is an accessibility problem and makes it impossible to drag the scroll bar with a pen.

  17. All Tools automatically opens when a pdf is opened. Meaning to read it in full view you have to close it every time. This is extremely annoying and makes me not want to use pdfs as much. There should be a setting to have it closed by default. And the "Remember current state of Tools Pane" has no effect, seems to be a bug.

  19. The new layout is an incredibly annoying 'experience', and it's almost as if Adobe knew it was, because they added the high-level option in the main menu to disable the new 'experience'. It is frustrating that you have to click this every time you reopen reader though, and there is the worry that at some point they will take away the option to disable it! Please go back to the tried and tested layout or give us the option to permanently configure it that way - if something isn't broken, don't try and fix it! Thanks.

  20. CREATE button is annoying. It takes up real estate for your tabs and when the window is minimized it is too easy to click it when trying to move the window or double-clicking the title bar to maximize. I suggest the option of being able to remove it through the preferences menu or please move it out of the window title bar to a different location.
