  2. 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…

  5. 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.

  7. 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

  9. 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.

  11. Teilweise werden Din A4-Dokumente nicht mit den richtigen Dimensionen (zu groß) vom Reader definiert und lassen sich deshalb von einem drucker mit Din A4-Papier nicht drucken. Abhilfe (bei mir) ist nutzung eines anderen Readers, der diesen Bug nicht hat.
    Es wäre fein, wenn Adobe-Reader die Maasse eines DinA4-Dokumentes kennen würde oder wenn diese zumindest munuell korrekt im reader eingegeben und gespeichert werden könnten.

  12. When cropping a pdf in Adobe Acrobat Pro you can hover over the "crop" option and a yellow window appears. There it says "Buschneiden" which is not correct. Maybe you wanted to say "Beschneiden" or "Zuschneiden", which would both be correct. Just wanted to point it out! Thanks :)

  14. PDFs are used often as presentations in place of PowerPoints, however there is no presenter view. Presenters have to awkwardly drag the window to an extended display or mirror their display to the projector. This affects 10's of thousands of presenters annually (at least).

    Solution give us a presenter view. Or at least give us the option to display on secondary display by default (current display options don't work).

  16. Version 2023.001.20064 64-bit Windows 10.

    Copying text from a document that's opened in protected mode causes an error box to appear with "Bad parameter". The OK button on the box needs to be clicked to make the box go away. The copied text still appears on the Windows clipboard as expected.

    I found a post on the forums describing this bug dating from 2018 - that's five years ago: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader-discussions/acrobat-reader-dc-quot-bad-parameter-quot-when-trying-to-copy-text/td-p/10136457

  17. Set Page number for PDF thumbnail preview.

    Adobe PDF thumbnails in windows explorer preview the first page of a PDF. Can this be adapted so a particular page of the document is the thumbnail preview rather than page 1. Could this be done whilst creating the PDF? forexample in indesign when exporting the file.

  18. The function of the "Enable Scrolling" button is exactly parallel to the function of the "Two Page Scrolling" menu option, so why not call it "Single Page Scrolling"?

    I always assumed that "Enable Scrolling" changes whichever view you are in (single or two-page) to scrolling in that same view (whereas "Two Page Scrolling" changes the view and toggles scrolling at the same time.) But "Enable Scrolling" does change the view to single-page as it toggles scrolling on. So I don't have to click "Single Page View" and then click "Enable Scrolling" when the "Enable Scrolling" button does both. Labeling it…

  19. しおりで現在のページを確認したい時に、「現在のしおりを展開」でも良いのですが、しおりの色がはっきり変わるとさらに良いです。
    現状、しおりの色が薄いグレー→ちょっとだけ濃いグレーに変わって、現在のページ位置を示してくれているようですが、非常にわかりにくいです。
    テレワークが増えて大量のPDFを扱う機会が増えたため、分かりやすい色に変わってくれると、作業効率が大幅にupすると思います!
