1. Better update procedures for automation needed!

   We see in the last month/year a much bader update experience for reader than before. The formerly usable ftp-server is not actual anymore:
   ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/
   And we see lots of customers where the function "Search for updates" inside Reader is GONE - even a clean NEW installation does not show it anymore! So what can be done if this position is gone in the help menu? And how can update enrollment be done better (actually we get the ARM folder on an updated PC and deply this packet afterwards, but this only works incremental - and if one version is missing between it hangs of course).

   Hope for ideas/informations ;-)

2. Drag and drop files

   It's incredibly frustrating that a) the Adobe Document Cloud is so slow, and b) one cannot drag and drop files to folders. Organizing my PDFs has literally taken the whole day.

3. Colour-coding in the comments panel

   Acrobat Reader allows to highlight text and then enter comments to the highlighted text into the separate panel on the right of the text. I use this feature a lot, when reviewing papers. It would be very handy for me if the comments in the right panel were somehow marked with the same colour as the highlighting in the text. Such feature would allow me easily navigate between the comments later, when making a summary: e.g. first selecting green comments, then red comments etc.

4. RichMedia mp4 playback with Flash disabled not working

   According to:
   
   https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/kb/flash-format-support-in-pdf.html

   "Playback of non-Flash media (excluding *.flv and *.swf) content in PDFs will continue to be supported."

   I tested the sample-formatter-richmedia.pdf file in Acrobat Reader "Continuous Release 2020.009.20074" with Flash disabled and the video was not playable.

5. Bug - touchscreen highlighting while viewing multiple pages

   Hello, I have found a bug. When in the following configuration:

   • Read Mode OR Fixed-width scrolling
   • Viewing two pages at once (i.e. bottom of one page and top of the next page are both visible on screen)
   • Using the touchscreen of my 2-in-1 (HP Elitebook G4 if that's relevant) to highlight text

   I am able to tap once to select a word on either page, but one one of the two pages, I am not able to alter that selection (i.e. grab the little handles at either end of the selection and expand it to include more text). Instead, it treats the gesture as if I am using the pan tool, and attempts to scroll left/right (and if I drag up/down on the handles the page scrolls without changing the selected text).

   Upon some experimentation I found that:

   • I have no problems using the touchscreen to select text when viewing a single page (in any view mode). I assume Reader is somehow detecting the "active" page, maybe the one most visible on the screen or something, and treating touchscreen gestures on the two pages differently.
   • When I use the trackpad/cursor to select text (in read mode or fixed-width scrolling), there is no problem and I am able to adjust the selection. It's only using the touchscreen.
   • If the word I initially select is on the "active" page I am able to drag the selection handle to select text over both pages, but not when the initial selected word is on the "inactive" page.

   A relatively uncommon scenario for most users I think, but it's juuust disruptive and irritating enough to prompt me to post about it here (and yes, I'm aware I've spent longer typing this bug report than the cumulative time the bug will take from me! Please fix so that the time can at least be a martyr for all touchscreen users time!) :)

7. Enable adding "Open...[file]" as icon/command to Quick Tools toolbar

   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

12. Prompt Automatic updates

    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.

14. Acrobat Reader unable to access files via junction reparse points

    Acrobat Reader is unable to correctly interpret some mountpoint reparse points (junctions). In practical terms: Acrobat Reader is unable to access PDF files from file systems mounted as directories and this is the root cause of the problem.

    Junctions are special symbolic links that are used in many scenarios; an important one is when a file system is mounted as a directory rather than a regular drive. Junctions contain 2 paths: a “substitute” path which must be a path in the NTOS namespace (not a Win32 path) and a “print” path, which is to be used for display to the user.

    A junction that is used to mount a file system on a directory might have a target like \Device\Volume{GUID}, which might be a file system device. Unfortunately targets such as \Device\Volume{GUID} appear to create problems for Acrobat Reader because it interprets them as the Win32 path C:\Device\Volume{GUID}, which is incorrect.

    For more information on this problem please see this GitHub issue:
    https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/issues/274

    I am the author of the WinFsp software, which can be used to create file systems and I am happy to answer any questions you may have about this problem.

18. Adobe Acrobat PDF Doesn't Convert Custom Page Sizes From Microsoft Word

    I have a Microsoft Word file that has custom page size specified in the layout (specifically width 6.14" height 9.14"). There are also custom margins. When I convert to pdf via File > Print > Microsoft Print to PDF a pdf file is created but the page size is not correct. A pdf file is created that is 8.5"x11" not 6.14"x9.21". After trying to debug and spending 6+ hours with Microsoft tech support, there seems to be a problem on the Adobe side when the Word file is passed to Adobe to be converted into a pdf. I have noticed that it will convert standard page sizes like letter, legal, etc. But it doesn't work for any custom page sizes (I have tried several different sizes as well as Word page document length and the result is the same each time, Adobe always creates a pdf file that is 8.x5"x11").

19. Fix Multi-PDF issue from Win2019 DFS share to Win10 clients..... please.

    The DFS bug has shown it's head again. Win 2019 servers offering DFS fileshares to Win10 clients will no longer allow multiple PDFs to be opened from the OS interface, because of Protected Mode.

    Any other combination works fine (non-Win2019, non-Win10, non-DFS shares, disable Protected Mode).

    Now that the vastly popular Win 2008r2 is out of support, many more organizations are upgrading to Win 2019. Disabling Protected Mode via registry GPO is a poor workaround.

    Please fix!

20. Ctrl home displays hidden side bar & bookmark bar - MOST ANNOYING

    It is already extremely annoying to hide elements in Acrobat.

    For reasons only known to your idiot design team, you persist in the view that the UI MUST BE RESET ON EVERY DOCUMENT LOAD.

    I read > 30 PDFs in a DAY. FOR EVERY ONE, I have to hide elements of the UI (typically the left side). EVERY F*** PDF.

    Today I find that hitting Ctrl-Home re-displays the full left bar.
    WHY.
    WHO THINKS THIS IS A GREAT IDEA - Lets re-purpose a standard document navigation key into a UI state change.
    PG UP to the top page does the same.
    So it seems that the UI Gurus at Adobe though that when I go to document top, I wanted my UI settings overridden.

    STOP DOING THIS.

    Allow the user to setup their work environment AS THEY SEE FIT.
    DO NOT OVERRIDE THE USER's settings.
    DO NOT DISPLAY USER HIDDEN DISPLAY OPTIONS.
    RESPECT STANDARD KEY SEQUENCES in the OS environments and DO NOT OVERRIDE OR OVERLOAD the operators.

    Get a new set of UI designers.
