1. Feedback on Acrobat e-sign workflow and subscription model

   I’d like to share feedback based on a recent real use case.

   I subscribed to Acrobat (trial) solely to review and sign a single PDF contract. During the process, I encountered confusing behavior around signature warnings and version switching (e.g. being forced into a “signed version” where all editing and signing were disabled, with instructions to “save a copy” but no clear or usable way to do so).

   As a non-frequent user, it was difficult to understand the document state or how to proceed, even after following on-screen guidance. The friction was high enough that I canceled the trial despite still being within the free period.

   I believe this reflects a broader gap for low-frequency, task-based users. Many people only need Acrobat for one document at a time. A single-use, feature-limited, or short-term (task-based) pricing option could significantly lower the barrier for these users and potentially convert more occasional needs into paid usage.

   Thank you for considering this feedback.

2. Bug Report: Acrobat Reader installer disables inheritance and overwrites ACL on .pdf\PersistentHandler, removing required Windows capability

   Bug Report: Acrobat Reader installer disables inheritance and overwrites ACL on .pdf\PersistentHandler, removing required Windows capability SID → Windows 11 PDF full-text indexing breaks
   Product / Component

   Adobe Acrobat Reader (latest version as of Jan 2026)
   Installer / Update / Repair actions affecting Windows Search integration and registry ACLs

   OS / Environment

   Windows 11 Pro (x64)

   Windows Search indexing enabled and functioning correctly for other formats (e.g., .docx)

   PDFs are text/OCR-enabled (text can be selected and copied)

   Issue is reproducible on system A; system B (Windows 11, no prior Adobe install) indexes the same PDFs correctly

   Summary

   Installing (or repairing/updating) Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows 11 Pro breaks Windows Explorer / Windows Search full-text indexing of PDF contents.

   The failure is caused not only by registry value mappings, but by Acrobat modifying registry key permissions (security descriptor):

   Acrobat disables permission inheritance on:

   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes.pdf\PersistentHandler

   Acrobat overwrites the ACL (DACL) to include only classic principals like:

   SYSTEM, Administrators, Everyone

   This process removes Windows default capability SID ACEs (notably a capability SID in the form S-1-15-3-…)

   Windows Search’s SearchFilterHost.exe runs with that capability SID in its token (verified in Process Explorer as Group with flag “Capability”).

   Once that SID is no longer granted ReadKey on the PersistentHandler registry key, SearchFilterHost.exe receives ACCESS DENIED and the PDF IFilter chain cannot be resolved/loaded.

   Result: PDFs appear in the index (metadata indexed), but System.Search.Contents remains empty, and Explorer cannot find text inside PDFs.

   Re-enabling inheritance (or restoring default ACL) immediately restores PDF full-text indexing.

   Impact / Severity

   High. Acrobat Reader installation can silently disable OS functionality:

   Explorer / Start Menu search cannot find PDF content

   Windows Search indexes PDF metadata only, not contents

   Users may incorrectly assume PDF content indexing is broken or unreliable in Windows 11

   Affects enterprise setups and forensic/search workflows heavily

   Expected Behavior

   After installing Acrobat Reader:

   Windows Search / Explorer should continue to index PDF contents using the Windows built-in PDF filter (Windows.Data.Pdf.dll) or a compatible handler chain.

   Acrobat should not modify registry key ACLs in a way that removes Windows-required capability SIDs.

   PDF full-text search should continue working the same way as before installation.

   Actual Behavior

   After Acrobat Reader installation:

   PDF contents are no longer searchable (while .docx continues working)

   In the Windows Search index:

   PDF file entries exist

   System.Search.Contents is empty (no extracted text)

   Process Monitor shows registry access failures:

   SearchFilterHost.exe → RegOpenKey / RegQueryValue on .pdf\PersistentHandler results in ACCESS DENIED

   Windows.Data.Pdf.dll is not loaded during PDF indexing attempts until permissions are fixed

   Reproduction Steps (100% reproducible)
   Baseline (works)

   Ensure Windows Search is enabled, and the folder containing PDFs is indexed.

   Confirm that a given PDF has selectable/copyable text (OCR or embedded).

   Confirm PDF full-text search works:

   Explorer search finds terms inside PDF content

   In Windows Search index, System.Search.Contents contains extracted text (or at least non-empty)

   Confirm handler chain is present:

   HKCR.pdf\PersistentHandler default value is {1AA9BF05-9A97-48C1-BA28-D9DCE795E93C}

   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID{1AA9BF05-…}\PersistentAddinsRegistered{89BCB740-6119-101A-BCB7-00DD010655AF} points to:
   {6C337B26-3E38-4F98-813B-FBA18BAB64F5}

   {6C337B26-…}\InprocServer32 points to %SystemRoot%\System32\Windows.Data.Pdf.dll

   Trigger (break indexing)

   Install Adobe Acrobat Reader (latest version).

   After install, check registry ACL of:

   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes.pdf\PersistentHandler

   Observe:

   Inheritance disabled

   DACL replaced/flattened with entries like:

   SYSTEM

   Administrators

   Everyone

   Missing capability SID entries (notably S-1-15-3-1024-… capability SID)

   Observe failure

   Copy a PDF into an indexed folder (or modify a PDF to trigger indexing).

   Confirm:

   Indexing occurs for metadata (System.ItemPathDisplay present in index)

   But System.Search.Contents empty

   Explorer cannot find content terms in the PDF

   Evidence / Diagnostics
   1) Registry key ACL change causes failure

   User experiment:

   When permissions on .pdf\PersistentHandler are set to inherit from parent .pdf, PDF content indexing works.

   When inheritance is disabled and the capability SID ACE is removed, PDF indexing fails.

   Adding back the capability SID (explicit allow ReadKey) or re-enabling inheritance restores indexing.

   Minimal permission requirements observed:

   SYSTEM + capability SID (S-1-15-3-…) required

   Removing Users/Admins/CreatorOwner does not break indexing

   Removing SYSTEM or the capability SID breaks indexing

   2) Process token includes the capability SID (confirmed)

   Using Process Explorer:

   SearchFilterHost.exe → Properties → Security → Groups

   The capability SID appears in Groups with Flag = “Capability”.

   This demonstrates that Windows Search components rely on capability SIDs in access checks.

   3) ProcMon shows access denied

   In Process Monitor during PDF indexing attempt after Acrobat installation:

   SearchFilterHost.exe

   Registry open/query on .pdf\PersistentHandler yields ACCESS DENIED

   Stack shows impersonation-related frames (e.g., kernel path mentions dereferencing impersonation token)

   After fixing ACL inheritance, access succeeds and:

   Windows.Data.Pdf.dll becomes visible/loaded in the indexing chain

   PDF full-text indexing works again

   4) Why SYSTEM alone is insufficient

   Even when DACL includes SYSTEM FullControl, access can still fail due to Windows token restrictions / capability gating:

   Access may require both:

   standard SID authorization AND

   capability / restricted SID set authorization

   This matches observed behavior: SYSTEM alone does not restore indexing if capability SID ACE is missing.

   Root Cause

   The Acrobat Reader installer (or update/repair routine):

   modifies security descriptors (ACLs) of the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes.pdf\PersistentHandler

   disables inheritance

   rewrites DACL to contain only classic principals (SYSTEM/Admin/Everyone)

   thereby removing default Windows capability SIDs such as S-1-15-3-1024-…

   Windows Search indexing host (SearchFilterHost.exe) includes that SID with flag “Capability” and requires ReadKey

   result: SearchFilterHost cannot read PersistentHandler → cannot resolve filter chain → cannot extract contents

   This is a permissions regression introduced by Acrobat install behavior.

   Workaround / Fix
   Immediate workaround (manual)

   Restore default Windows ACL by re-enabling inheritance:

   regedit

   Navigate to: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes.pdf\PersistentHandler

   Permissions → Advanced

   Enable inheritance

   Apply

   PDF full-text indexing resumes immediately after next indexing cycle.

   Alternative workaround

   If inheritance must remain disabled:

   Add explicit allow ReadKey ACE for:

   Capability SID: S-1-15-3-1024-1065365936-1281604716-3511738428-1654721687-432734479-3232135806-4053264122-3456934681

   Ensure SYSTEM also retains ReadKey

   Recommendation to Adobe Engineering

   Do not modify security descriptors for .pdf\PersistentHandler unless absolutely necessary.

   If ACL changes must be made:

   preserve inherited ACEs (do not disable inheritance)

   do not remove “unknown” SIDs (capability SIDs)

   If Acrobat registers its own handler chain, it should do so by updating values, not rewriting registry permissions.

   Add a regression test:

   install Acrobat on clean Windows 11

   ensure PDF System.Search.Contents extraction still works under Windows Search

   verify capability SIDs remain present in ACLs

   Additional Notes

   On a second Windows 11 system (no prior Adobe install), PDF full-text indexing works correctly with the same PDF files.

   The issue is independent of PDF content (OCR/text selection works; document is new and created from Word).

   Microsoft documentation indicates capability SIDs are legitimate and commonly used; they should not be removed from ACLs.

4. Bug im Eingabefeld des KI-Assistenten im Acrobat Reader

   Wenn man den KI-Assistenten startet, lädt er ein paar Sekunden. Wenn man da schon etwas eintippt, springt der Cursor an den Anfang des eingegebenen Textes, wenn der KI-Assistent bereit ist. Das nervt wirklich! Ich möchte eintippen wann ich will und nicht auf den Assistenten warten, bis er fertig geladen wurde.

5. Bug: remove or cover up sensitive text

   After drawing a dark rectangle over some text in order to block out some sensitive data, it looks like it disappeared on the screen. Although then saving the file and re-opening the file, the blocked out text is not visible BUT the blocked out text is still selectable and can be copied and pasted. A user would expect that if a blank box is drawn over something (such as text) that something (such as text) would no longer be there.
   I have found no other way to remove or cover up sensitive data.
   See uploaded file 'Adobe-Example_edit-save.pdf' there is a black rectangle over the word 'General' in '1. General Terms' which all looks ok but if you highlight the text, copy and paste it somewhere the word "General' is still there. This is the problem and is very deceptive.

6. Do you guys actually check hashes after playing, or is it more of a “trust but don’t bother” thing?

   I’ve been playing provably fair dice games on and off for a while, mostly for fun, but recently I started wondering if I’m actually using the tools correctly. I get the idea of client seed and server seed, but in practice I just roll and don’t verify every session. Do you guys actually check hashes after playing, or is it more of a “trust but don’t bother” thing? Also curious if anyone has small habits or strategies that helped them stay more disciplined instead of chasing losses.

9. Suggestion: Custom UI Themes inspired by Geometry Dash aesthetics

   Hi,
   I think the current Acrobat UI is a bit too "corporate." It would be amazing if Adobe allowed users to apply custom themes or skins.
   As a fan of Geometry Dash, I’d love to see a vibrant, neon-style "Dark Mode" similar to the game's aesthetic. Even small icons that react to user interaction (like the icons in GD) would make the PDF reading experience much more engaging for younger users.
   Just a thought to modernize the software!

11. Updated ADMX file to control Menu>Preferences>General>Always Open PDFs saved from the web.

    Create a new ADMx or Customization Wizerd to be used in GPO to control settings for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. In this particular instance, I am looking at managing Menu>Preferences>General>Always Open PDFs saved from the web. By default this is on. We are finding that even when in a Corporate environment and settings are set via GPO preventing Edge or Chrome from opening within browser itself and we have a paid PDF writer software set as default that will open PDF, when clicked on from download within browser Adobe Reader also opens. Traced it back to this exact option. I would like to globally set this so it would be off.

    This option would be beneficial to be controlled, modified in a corporate environment (preferably GPO via ADMx)

14. Add a "Costa Menu" style feature list to Acrobat

    Could Acrobat's UserVoice page have a "Costa Menu"-style section like https://costamenu.uk/ ? Something simple that shows popular tools, new features, and recommended options in a clear menu like the layout. This would help users find features, learn what they do, and vote on ideas without having to search. A friendly, visual menu can make the forum easier to use and more engaging for everyone.

18. BUG: Acrobat crashes when opening PDFs from shared iCloud Drive folders on macOS 26.0.1.

    Acrobat version 25.x crashes on macOS 26.0.1 when opening PDFs that are stored in shared iCloud Drive folders. The same PDFs open correctly in Preview, Chrome, or when copied to Desktop or to a non shared iCloud folder. The issue happens every time with any file in a shared iCloud folder, so it is fully reproducible.

    Environment:

    macOS 26.0.1 (25A362)

    MacBook Pro M2 Max, 96 GB RAM

    Acrobat 25.001.20841 (latest version as of November 2025)

    Steps to reproduce:

    Save any valid PDF into an iCloud Drive folder that is shared with another Apple ID.

    Open that PDF directly from Finder using Acrobat 25.x.

    Acrobat launches and immediately crashes.

    Expected result:
    The PDF should open normally.

    Observed result:
    Acrobat closes instantly with an EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV) crash. The same file works fine if opened from Desktop or a non shared iCloud folder.

    This appears to be a regression in the new unified Acrobat app. Acrobat DC 24.x works perfectly on the same system.

    Please investigate Acrobat’s handling of shared iCloud Drive folders on macOS 26.

    Acrobat version 25.x crashes on macOS 26.0.1 when opening PDFs that are stored in shared iCloud Drive folders. The same PDFs open correctly in Preview, Chrome, or when copied to Desktop or to a non shared iCloud folder.

19. Allow User to Adjust Appearance of Digital Signature Before Saving

    Adobe should make the "Use a certificate" method in Reader be a two-part process:
    The first part allows the user to place the signature graphic and adjust it until it's just right
    The second part should be the "Sign" button that actually locks the the graphic in place and digitally signs the file, opening the save file prompt.

    The problem:
    It's difficult to know if you have drawn the correct sized and shaped box that the signature graphic will appear in. You are only able to know if you did it correctly AFTER you have signed the document digitally, and saved the PDF. If you made a mistake in the placing of the graphic, then you have to reopen the original PDF and start the "Use a certificate" process all over again and save the document the second time.
    If the user had a chance to adjust and tweak the location and size of the graphic before "signing" the document, they would be sure that they are happy with how it looks before the PDF is cryptographically signed.

20. “View All Pages on Screen” Option in Adobe Acrobat Reader

    Dear Adobe Product Team,

    I would like to propose the addition of a new feature in Adobe Acrobat Reader—specifically, a “View All Pages on Screen” option within the View menu.

    This feature would allow users to view the entire document layout, including all pages, margins, and formatting, within a single screen or overview mode prior to printing. Such functionality would be especially beneficial for professionals handling lengthy documents—often spanning hundreds of pages—who need to verify layout consistency, margin alignment, and overall formatting before initiating print or publication. This feature will also save a lot of wasted paper from pages printed without a peek.

    Implementing this feature would significantly enhance the document review and print preparation workflow, reinforcing Acrobat Reader’s position as the industry standard for reliable and user-centric document management.

    Thank you for considering this enhancement. I would be happy to provide further clarification or feedback if required.

    Sincerely,
    Syed Habeeb Ullah Quadri
