Hello there,
Can you add a prompt for updates?
"Adobe Acrobat requires an update that will require a restart before using the application. Update and restart or install later?"

You see, when Acrobat updates automatically and I'm still running the app, I can still open things, but if Acrobat updates and I'm not currently running the app, then I can't open the app until I restart.
In terms of workflow this means that to access a PDF needed immediately for work I need to save and close everything, restart, then reopen everything. This took about 7 minutes without including reopening everything (slow computer, lots of things open and in process over several resource intense apps).
Since I can still use Acrobat if I've already got it open, it obvious that there's some flexibility. If a screen came up asking permission and informing me to restart before I next opened, then the onus would be on me to keep it open and not ***** up my workflow but without that permission you just throw a big wrench into the gears, so to speak.

As of right now, my only recourse for efficient work going forward is to go into the registry and task scheduler and disable the automatic updates which, I'm sure you'll agree is not what you want.

Currently, click-hold and dragging with the middle mouse button results (hand symbol with four arrows) in the document scrolling at a (rather extreme) rate of speed that is determined how far away your cursor is from where you first clicked the button. The document will scroll continuously until you either move your cursor back closer to its initial location, or release the mouse button.
I would much prefer the behavior to be like what you get when you hold space and then click and drag with the left mouse button. I.e., you "drag" the document around with the mouse, and the document only moves as much as you "drag" it.

Please implement this behavior !
Thank you.

I guess this falls under UI? I'm ADHD and it would be SUPER helpful to have a feature where I can dim the screen except for an area I'm currently reading. I read a lot of professional articles and when I go to write a note I completely lose my place. It could be just a static section and as I scroll the section stays the same so I'm effectively moving my page through it. I can cope if I print out the pages, but articles are frequently 12+ pages each and I'd rather save the paper and be able to "filter" digitally.
If you're feeling really fancy, maybe make it so the size and location of the filter can be changed.
Concept example attached.

Allow/enable Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to add the "Open...[file]" command to the Quick Tools toolbar.

I am using the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC as of today 12/1/2020: 2020.013.20064.12623.
When you are constantly opening files, it becomes very tedious to constantly be required to click on the File menu and then select Open... to open files. An Open... command icon is a standard quick command on most other software I have seen. I am surprised and disappointed that no one thought of this or made this a standard command icon on this toolbar. In fact, there are several commands that I cannot even remove from this toolbar that I never use. So, actually, that is another suggestion: don't automatically add ANY command icons to the Quick Tools toolbar that cannot be removed. Every user is different and it would be nice to be able to truly customize this toolbar as needed.
Thank you,
Phil

For the last few days, if I have more than a page of recent documents, when I open Adobe Reader, it immediately becomes unresponsive.

I then have to open Adobe Reader by double clicking on a PDF document and clear the recent document list. Opening Adobe Reader this way means that it doesn't try to load the thumbnails for the recent documents, which is what I assume is the problem. Adobe Reader will then open correctly until the recent files list gets too big.

As a workaround, I have just set the "Documents in recently used list" to 10 which will hopefully solve this. Prior to this it was set to 100.

When I've closed Adobe Reader when it has been unresponsive this has generated a Microsoft error report, so you should be able to track these down and get the error information.

As a result of COVID, we are now forced to have virtual tribunal hearings and present testimony in PDF via screen sharing.

Witnesses often have to point out something in an exhibit - a sentence or paragraph or a point on a map and it is difficult for viewers to see the hand tool because it is too smaller to be easily visible and may not have sufficient contrast with document colors to stand out.

At in-person hearings, it was possible for a witness to stand up a point with their hand to an item on the main display screen for the hearing. The virtual format does not allow this.

Having the ability to adjust the size and/or color of the cursor would help hearings proceed more smoothly by making it easier for witnesses to point out specific items more clearly..
