  1. 12-02-21 - I just noticed that the Thumbnail Preview is not working on .PDF's that were recently created. The older files created with the older version of Adobe DC are still viewable.

  3. There is an obvious and consistent bug in Reader DC. When you enter the page X that you want to go to in the X/Y display in the ribbon, you have to do it TWICE. (The first time it self-destructs.) Admittedly this is a minor annoyance, but it makes Adobe look a bit silly and unprofessional. The second bug ... when I check that I have the latest version of Reader, the whole shebbang crashes! (No way would I buy a paid-for copy of this!)

  4. Why do I get all of this marketing **** when I try to use my paid version of your online product. It makes it hard to use with banners and ads, I just want to use the basic DC cloud for Adobe editing not all of this **** that makes it hard to use... I am always bomborded with new products that make it hard to find the product that I am paying for .... Adobe needs to listen to their customers!

    I had to use Microsoft free version to accomplish my goal of printing a PDF to make it…

  6. When highlighting scanned documents, would be very helpful to have a key stroke option to force the tool to highlight a straight line. Acrobat will currently do this automatically for short/very straight segments. Please consider adding option to hold down a key (e.g., shift, ctrl, etc.) while using the tool to force a straight line rather than truly free form - which can be very messy and unprofessional in appearance depending on the context.

  7. When I use Adobe the CTRL F search function of Adobe Acrobat DC, I often find it hard to see where on the page the item I'm searching for is being highlighted. The highlighter colour that Adobe uses is a light grey/blue and it simply doesn't stand out enough. Very often, I'm searching for a single character and the documents I'm proofreading such as reports and brochures often have a coloured background, making it even harder to spot that pesky highlighter! It seems so simple to me that there should be a way for users to opt for a bright…

  8. Use a circle tip for the drawing/annotating tool. Right now, it's a square and this makes the letters look jagged (as compared to the circle tip in OneNote for example)

  9. We do reviews via shared commenting on our SharePoint site. Reviewers using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2021.005.20060 on Windows 10 are experiencing the following error when they click Check for new comments:
    First a SharePoint dialog appears that never appeared before. If this dialog is closed the message " Could not get new comments. Login credentials are expired or invalid; please re-enter your sign-in for access." appears.

    Expected Results: Any new comments should appear, or a message "no new comments" should display.

    This issue is also noted here (seems to impact other Acrobat versions too): https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/could-not-get-new-comments-login-credentials-are-expired-or-invalid-please-re-enter-your-sign-in-f/m-p/12370427

  10. Adobe Reader has a bug when it comes to pdf files that get updated. I create pdf slides using latex+beamer. After recompiling to make a new pdf, sometimes adobe reader does not like displaying the updates. I close the tab for that file and reopen the file only to see that the old version without the updates. Sometimes the file also then displays some pages as entirely blank from the point where the changes were made onward (or so I am guessing). Quitting Adobe Reader DC, reopening Adobe Reader DC and then reopening the file works to then show the…

  13. In a shared document on macOS Mojave, press Shift + Left-Arrow. The app displays an error message and locks up. The OK button does not dismiss the error and the app must be Force Quit. H/W is MacBook Pro and Apple Wireless Keyboard.

  15. If you comment dots (no movement, just a click) with the drawing tool, erasing anything with the eraser tool will delete all dots regardless of the eraser's distance from the dot.

  16. Please make an Always Show Comments Bar option. I work with the stamp, shape and text box tools on many PDFs daily. I have to open the comments toolbar for each one of them. While it's a small thing to do on one PDF, it gets old fast when it must be done for each of many PDFs every day.

  17. I need to see 2 full pages (A4) up on full screen and still be able to do commenting. Standard 16:9 screen has enough space for that. Just allow to move all menus and panes to either left or right side of the screen.

  18. When the default Highlight text tool (marker icon) is applied on document with inconsistent text (either poorly generated text scattered across page, math formulae etc.) the highlighted area does not look good or even does not make sense. Of course, I can manually click&switch to Drawing tool (pencil icon) and mark that area by hand but it can be set to other color, thickness, and opacity. I wish I could switch between these tools using ALT, CTRL of SHIFT keys for rapid commenting (while keeping the same color, thickness and opacity - ust like if the Highlight text tool is…

    second, I know that we can attach a jpg file ,but you will have to leave the reader and open it and when you send it to others it won't open and I know that we can edit pdf to add images ,but sometimes there is no enough space in the page and its so hard to readjust the pdf so it looks normal again, so if we could to comment with a sticky note but we can add in that sticky note…
