I am requesting a feature that allows Adobe Acrobat Reader to inherit and display the custom Windows cursor theme selected in system settings.
Currently, Acrobat Reader overrides the user’s system cursor and forces its own internal arrow, hand, and text‑select cursor set. Adobe support confirms this is intentional and that “the cursor does not use the Windows system settings.”

This creates significant challenges in modern workflows.

[Why this feature is needed]:

-Accessibility: Many users rely on high‑contrast or custom‑colored pointers for visual clarity, visibility impairments, or ADA‑aligned accommodations.
-Presentation clarity: During remote and hybrid screen‑shares, a custom cursor (such as a large bright pointer) makes it easy for participants to follow along. Acrobat is one of the few apps that does not respect system cursor themes.
-Professional workflows: Project managers, engineers, educators, and healthcare staff frequently present PDFs. They need consistent cursor visibility across applications.
-System consistency: Nearly all Windows applications inherit the user's cursor theme—Acrobat not doing so creates a jarring exception.

[Requested enhancement]:
Please add an option in Preferences to:
-Use Windows system cursor theme (shape + color + size)
or
-Allow users to choose a custom cursor file (.cur) within Acrobat.

Even enabling Acrobat to simply inherit Windows’ pointer theme would greatly improve usability, accessibility, and the user experience for large enterprise environments.

[Environment]:

Adobe Acrobat Reader (Continuous Release)
Windows 10/11
Use case: frequent screen‑sharing and document walkthroughs in a large healthcare organization

Thank you for reviewing this request. This enhancement would meaningfully improve accessibility and presentation clarity for many Acrobat users.
