  1. 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.

  2. version 2024.002.20895.
    Recent windows 10 update.

    Single key accelerators no longer active in launch.

    MUST access a menu to activate.

    eg:
    Reader not running.
    Open a PDF, causing Reader to launch.
    Click on the displayed document.
    Type Z for zoom - no change; X for select - no change.
    Type Alt-E to open the Edit menu, followed by ESC to close it.
    The single keys now function once again.

    THIS IS A REPEAT PERFORMANCE OF AN OLD ANNOYING BUG.
    Look up: Regression testing. Read it. Act on it.

  3. 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.

  4. Hello, today after I restarted my MacBook my Acrobat Reader suddenly switched to German (which is set as second preferred language after Romanian). Is there a bug with the Romanian version or why has the interface changed? I'm using version 2024.002.20759. Can someone have a look into this?

    Thank you!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. I am constantly fighting to see portions of the doccument i am working with in Acrobat reader. Either the tool bar (That I don't use) is in the way and appparently can not be hidden according to every search I have done or, the search pop up reminding me to try AI Assistant is covering a good chunk of the landscape when I need to keep the search field open. Why can we not hide the floating toolbar and why after acknowledging the AI popup does it have to keep popping up? It's annoying and feels intentionally counter productive.

  9. 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…

  10. Hi,

    I would like to put the certificates tools permanently to the RHP, but it simply don't work to me. I have read the documentation about the "Tools customization" but that did not help.

    My Adobe Reader version is 2024.002.20687 x64 hungarian.
    Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11 23H2 the same behavior :(

    I don't have the "remove shortcut" option shown in the docs (neither have an add shortcut option).

    I tried the registry way to add the tool at the toolbar, but that did not help and after I close the Adobe Reader, my registry entry simply disappears from…

  11. When using the search function in Adobe Acrobat, the (extremely annoying) AI "help" prompt blocks text on the document. This should be removed or made smaller. Or, the option to remove generative AI from preferences should be made available for all users.

  12. I observe a strange text extraction behavior in Acrobat Reader for the specific documents. The documents are tagged so generally all paragraph text lines are extracted as a single line. But in some cases the paragpraph text is extracted with line feed. Some experiments shows that it may be related to a presence of a Form XObject inside an artifact content.

  13. I disabled new acrobat reader for one primary reason. I couldn't customize the quick tools toolbar, so it reduced my productivity. The new interface would be better if customization was brought back.

  15. As of Adobe Reader 24.x, the setting "bAcroSuppressUpsell" no longer suppresses the upsell button. It now suppresses all items in the tools pane.

  16. You need a command/keystroke to move to the same page position but 1.0 pages up/down. So if I'm zoomed in to a region on page 33, let me see the same region of page 34. Not one screen down, not to the top of the next page, not anything else. Don't move me; just change the page. (I believe this is the same in Acrobat and Acrobat Reader.)

  17. In the digital realm, cookie-cutter solutions simply won't suffice. To truly stand out and make an impact online, businesses need to embrace the power of customization offered by a specialized custom web development company.

    One of the primary advantages of custom web development is the ability to tailor every aspect of your website to your unique needs and preferences. From the layout and design to the functionality and features, every element can be customized to align with your brand identity and goals. This level of personalization not only enhances the user experience but also helps you differentiate yourself from competitors.

  18. Poster print doesn't work in latest version of Adobe Reader - tries on both windows and mac

    On mac - Once you have deselected print as image - you can try and print as poster - BUT it only prints to 1 page - what ever you select in the options - you simply cannot print over multiple pages.

    On Windows - It will only allow you to print the 1st page of the poster print - you can not select or print any of the other pages.

    Can this please be fixed
    I am using latest version of Adobe…

  19. Is your QuickBooks version supported with Windows 10? In case you have updated or planning to upgrade to windows 10, then the major question that arises is that whether your QuickBooks version is compatible with Windows 10 or not. Windows 10 does not support every version of QuickBooks.

  20. When opening PDFs from various sources, I often receive a JS pop up stating "This pdf form requires a newer version of Adobe Acrobat...", in spite of having the latest version of Reader (23.008.20555 as of this post) installed. There are often multiple (as on 3-7+) popup dialogs that repeat this message whether OK or Cancel is pushed (the only difference being OK opens a browser window to redownload what I already have).

    The PDFs in question are often generated by 3rd parties, E.G. Tax preparation software online. One such recent example used iText 2.0.7, which uses PDF version 1.5…
