  1. Adobe Reader is very slow after I resize the window on my Windows 10 laptop. This includes maximizing and restoring down a window. If I only open one document, it usually takes 1-3 seconds to respond, depending on how complicated the document is. This is already significantly slower than Firefox and Chrome. Furthermore, if I open two documents, resizing takes 3-6 seconds, and longer when more document tabs are opened. This is a big performance issue. Looks like Adobe Reader is rendering all the documents synchronously after the window is resized, which is completely unnecessary; it should only render the…

  2. Adobe Reader DC version 2021.007.20099 has broken the Right-Click menu, removing "Marque Zoom". Yes, I know the icon can be added to the toolbar, but I and my staff have been using the right-click method for years and do not understand why we are now forced to change. Why can't we add it back to the right-click menu? It was working fine, why change it? Note this is a problem that generated identical complaints back in 2015.

  4. I share my computer with someone who does not have an Adobe Acrobat account. I would like to be able to sign out of my account but have them still use reader. As it stands now, if I sign out, they have to uninstall adobe acrobat and then reinstall the reader

  8. Mostly there are many documentations which associates lot of text info referring a specific Image or Diagram. While reading the text, it always required to imagine the diagram if it is in another page and having a window side by side when clicked on this image to use it for referring while reading the following text or comparing other diagrams could be very useful to many industries.

  12. The real reason I came here:

    PDF's are usually 1) created by the author 2) sent to the recipient for review (mostly always it is a contract for me to review) 3) Edits/mistakes are communicated by the recipient to the author to correct. 4) Author corrects and returns to the recipient again for review/signature. 5) Recipient has to read the WHOLE contract over again (in my case 25 pages of an awesome rental agreement (wow what a miraculous story that was) when really I only want to review the areas the author edited (and review for the corrections only) without…

  14. The first step to connect canon printer setup to WiFi is to locate the Wifi button on your printer. You can confirm the button by consulting the manual that came with your printer. Now, press and hold the Wifi button until the Wifi lamp begins to flash blue. Release the Wifi button after the Wifi lamp flashes twice. To begin the Canon printer wireless setup, go to your access point and press the WPS push button. As a result, the printer will begin to display the Connecting status, indicating that it is looking for your router. visit https://ijstartcannonn.com/canon-printer-setup/ to know…

  15. Every time I send a document to sign. It always ask the client to review and sign. But that langue is extremely aggressive and literal losses me clients all the time. Because no one wants to push a button that says sign before even reading what's in the document.

    Can you just change it to review.

    Getting people to read a document is hard enough, I don't need a program giving them a built in excuse not to open it

  16. Many times, I am confronted with a text string that needs a search (I generally use Google) and from within Acrobat I must select and copy the text, then go to the browser and search. I know it sounds fundamentally lazy...but these steps if repeated over and over take time. From the Chrome browser, we can select and then right-click text and "Search in Google" is an option. Acrobat is a much richer environment for working with the PDF but then the constant charade (for instance in a legal document with citations) of select, copy, open the browser, open or…

  18. Trying to open PDFs from write protected media (eg SD Card with write protection set) results in an error
    "Adobe Acrobat Reader could not open <file>, file type is not supported or file is damaged"
    (Translation from german message)

    This error shows up most times, on some PCs and also sometimes on same system doesn't.
    There is no reproduceable logic behind it .

    Works normal once write protection is removed.

  19. The attached PDF file contains a bitonal image which uses the DeviceGray color space, has a BitsPerComponent value of 1, and uses color key masking to make the white pixels transparent (via a Mask array).

    The file contains a shipping label with a large X over the entire label, and the text "VOID" over the barcode. One of the lines forming the large X is under the image, and the other is above the image. The "VOID" text is under the label image.

    Expected Result: The large X and the "VOID" text are fully visible at any window size, and…

  20. Following bug has been introduced with a recent Adobe Reader (or Windows?) update. It affects all our customers.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create a 64 Bit C# application (32 Bit Works)
    2. In the application, use ActiveX, or WebBrowser control and open/navigate to "C:\documentname.pdf"

    Expected result: PDF shows up

    Actual result: Screen stays gray. In the Windows Error Reporting you will see that AcroPDFImpl64.dll has crashed.

    It is very important for us, because our customers rely on this functionality and our software product is currently not useable due to this bug.
