  3. Until recently, you could close the Adobe Reader window (the one showing Recent, Starred, Scans, etc down the left side) with COMMAND-W. While you can still use COMMAND-W to close a PDF file, inexplicably this function no longer works with the Adobe Reader window. In workflow this is ridiculously annoying; I hit COMMAND-W to close my PDF window but then I have to go hunting for the CLOSE button to click on for the Adobe Reader window. At least, I am assuming this is a bug; I can't imagine someone purposefully enabling this highly obnoxious and laborious "feature" into the…

  4. Can you please hide the Acrobat Standard features, or allow the user to hide them.

    I appreciate you want to encourage users to purchase the license for Standard DC, but it is mis-leading showing the features on the right side of Reader DC if you can't even use them.

    Having the option to hide these features from Reader DC would be good

  8. In the influx of remote learning, students are being sent work in PDFs. Opening them through Google Classroom in an internet browser offers no way to easily edit the content and fill in answers. As this will be a way of learning for the immediate future, something needs to be rolled out to allow this to be done for free for students. Currently I have to download and then open with adobe, but it’s a lot of extra steps when it could be so much simpler.

  12. I want to create a window-in-window which will hold the next image in pdf. This way, if a reader is reading a book or a journal with diagrams, he/she will not have to switch pages just to see the diagram.

  14. I need to send out multiple documents at one go for signature. But today I heard that this feature had been disabled for all Adobe sign users on the latest version.

    I think this is a good, convenient, and hassle-free feature that must be added in.
    It really saves us a lot of effort.

    Please have this feature back on as soon as possible.

  15. As a writer, I like Adobe Acrobat very much. It allows me to digitally display magazine articles as accurately as in print.
    But the problem for me, and other writers I would guess, is in displaying articles in an online portfolio. While I can set the "view" as 2-page continuous in Acrobat, once my PDF is posted on a webpage in PDF viewer, it goes back to 1-page view. I contacted Adobe support, and was told there is no option to make it a 2-page view.

    When these articles are first published in print, many times a feature article will…

  18. Helping to organize favorites, some type of grouping, would be very useful.

    Folders would be a neutral way, stacks are fine as well. Any creative solution which helps to group different PDFs to keep them organized on quickly accessible would help.

  19. Allow a preference for "left-handed mode". When using a tablet, it would be much more convenient to have the scroll bar and side panel on the left-hand side as I am left-handed and using a stylus to annotate.
