  1. 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

  4. 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.

  6. Allow to reopen all previously opened tabs at once, to restore the session from when we closed Adobe Reader, in a way similar to web navigators for instance

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  13. I tried to enter a Greek mu into the search bar in Acrobat Reader for Windows.
    The letter is entered by pressing ctrl+m on a German keyboard layout. Acrobat freezes immediately when doing so.

  14. Please make the floating toolbar dock-able. It is constantly covering things in my document that I would like to see, no matter where I try to position it. It is really annoying. There is a lot of space in the top menu bar area where all the icons from this toolbar can fit it, where they will be out of the way and easily accessible.

  15. Expand the left flyout to the last open position with a single click. Remove the step that expands the list of icons without opening a panel (such as Pages or Bookmarks).

    Currently, the left flyout can be collapsed with a single click but requires two clicks to reopen the Bookmarks panel (one to expand the list of panels and the second to open the Bookmarks). Given that the list of icons is always available when a panel is open and that users typically return to the same panel once a panel is open, requiring the second click is extremely inefficient…

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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!

  20. 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.
