  1. I love the idea of a paper free world, and Adobe Sign might help so much to it. It could mean the end of printing documents to just sign and file them. I don’t get how come the Adobe managers have not realized of the great opportunity that lays out in front of them. An opportunity to make this product viral and as popular as the reader. Even more, making Acrobat Pro free, too. Now, it’s the perfect time for it when the world is under a lockdown and strongly needs great tools to produce documents and sign them. Please,…

  2. When I click on "search for new updates" on my acrobat reader on my windows laptop surface laptop 3, there appears a new window where acrobat checks whether there are new updates, but this window is blurred. You have to adjust your programm script so that acrobat reader can handle this situation. I think it has something to do with the windows scaling function. I have set the scaling as recommended on 150% on my laptop. If acrobat would be programmed correctly this shouldnt matter. Please fix this. As you can see in the attachment its badly blurred.

  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 frequently have to sign timesheets that have been scanned on to email. (i.e Flat form without autofull fields) Adding my signature is easy, but I have to type the date out as text. Having an extra button that allows the date to be added, without having to type it would be fantastic.

    When copying from a PDF document the text gets cut off after the SECOND letter 't' when trying to paste.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1) Open the PDF document attached to this
    2) Go to the first page of PDF
    3) Highlight the sentence "If the input parameter is a timestamp (without time zone) it applies the offset of the time zone you specify and returns a timestamp with the time zone."
    4) Paste into a text editor

    Expected Results

    All the text is copy/pasted

    Observed Results:

  10. Recently we have noticed certificate revocation checking failures with the latest version of Acrobat Reader DC.

    In the Department of Defense, the OCSP URLs in the DOD PKI are "http://ocsp.disa.mil". These servers work. But they do not respond on the SSL-enabled port (https). But when we try to verify signatures with Acrobat DC, we get connection failures. Network tracing has revealed that even though the URLs in the certificate specify http, Adobe Reader is trying to connect to the https port, and this gets timeouts.

    Environment: MacOS X
    Steps to reproduce: Get a certificate that has an OCSP URL…

  11. 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.

  14. When a reviewer adds a Reply comment in adobe acrobat, a notification email is sent. The email includes a copy of the reply but it does not have the original comment. Most often the original comment is required for context, especially for large documents or when some time has passed since original comment was added.

    For example, the Reply "Ok, thank you" Is useless with the original comment.

    Forcing me to click the 'Go to comment' button is an unwanted additional step.

  16. Speaking for Acrobat Reader DC for Windows, it needs to be able to email a PDF as an attachment using Outlook new. It can already email a PDF as an attachment using Outlook classic, but Microsoft is pushing customers to move to Outlook new. I get that Outlook new does not support MAPI like Outlook classic does, but these two large companies have the resources to solve this. Not every PDF workflow is suitable to be shared using a link in an email - an attachment is sometimes best.

  17. In a scientific PDF with references, like [1], I cannot search for the string "[1]". It says it finds nothing.

    The same search works however when using the Microsoft browser to view the same PDF.

  19. My users are SSO'd via an access package from our Microsoft tenant. While being able to access reports there are an option, it's usually tedious to get. If I could get a report/ audit log from within the Admin Console for Adobe, that would save me so much time. I could see: which applications my users signed into (Adobe Reader, Acrobat, InDesign, etc., the frequency of the use of the app, and last login activity. If I could also see common errors my users get, that would be so helpful!!

  20. I’m really glad I found this forum and this discussion in particular, as it turned out to be much more helpful than I expected. It gave me a better understanding of how people approach AI tutorshttps://www.reddit.com/r/languagelearning/comments/1quufm1/curious_learning_method/ , and what actually works in real learning situations. I appreciate how different opinions are shared openly, from skepticism to positive experiences, which makes the conversation feel honest and useful. It also helped me rethink my own approach and consider trying new tools more thoughtfully. Overall, this was a great read, and I’d definitely recommend others explore this thread if they’re interested in…
