  2. hello, as you know, SHA-224 consists of six functions, 256, 384, 512, 512/224, 512/256, 256 and 512. But it encrypts with adobe acrobat sha 256. In my country, only 256 algorithm is not used. However, only 256 encryptions are made in Adobe. In my country, there are 384 sha encryption generators among the e-signature certificates produced by e-signature companies. I have the sha256 certificate, I can use it, but I cannot use the sha384 certificate. Having a method that supports or selects all sha values ​​in your software will provide a great opportunity for both the development of your software…

  3. McAfee as a default is an absolute disgrace. I wish there was some simple PDF software provided by a company less willing to bend over for a dollar.

    Don't provide McAfee to finally appear as a legitimate, customer-first company. Embarrassing.

  4. I would like to use my 2-in-1 for reading PDFs, but I want to swipe left and right to change the page. It currently only supports swiping up and down, which is extremely counter intuitive!

  5. The "Save" function for saving a pdf is extremely annoying, it behaves like "Save as". And from googling I see this is "as designed"??? Why would you design the "Save" function to behave like "Save as". It's like 4-5 clicks to save one pdf! I see others complaining about this also. Why would such a big company design it this way one wonders..when every other program uses "Save" as they're supposed to.

  6. When having multiple tabs open from diferent PDF documents, would be nice to have to option to save current session to close the program and be able to reopen as left in the previous state. Sometimes Windows is requiring a restart for updates and you don´t want to loose all the documents open for the next day.

  7. ... and I am not referring to the distinction between hand and select tool. I am referring to another problem:

    I have set my own cursor scheme for Windows (Lefty Scheme) in Windows system settings. Every application accepts that but Adobe Reader. Whenever using the reader the mouse changes from a white arrow pointing to the upper right corner (lefty scheme) to a black arrow pointing to the upper left corner.

    How can I change this? I want the Reader to use the Windows System setting.

    I am using Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit, Version 1709, OS Buils 16299.431 and…

  9. After a recent update, all user interface is getting rendered with wrong (very small) text size, on a setup with text scale 150% (4K 40" monitor).

    Note that the window caption bar is rendered with correct text size, because it's done by USER.DLL

  12. Hi,

    A pdf form with a button with action to submit form to e-mail address was working in 32-bit version for more than a year. After installing 64-bit version, it gives the message " One of the specified recipients is not resolvable" regardless the e-mail address.

    64-bit version is 2021.007.20099, installed on Windows 10.

    So button action is "on focus submit a form", url "mailto:address@site.com" (no spaces)

    It is only one e-mail address which works in 32-bit or in Android version but no longer in 64-bit.

    I tried also with "mailto:nobody@adobe.com", addresses from yahoo or gmail…

  13. Since I do not use these buttons, and can use keyboard shortcut I want to remove them as when have muti-windows open and Reader is small portion of screen, the only visible tools are not useful. Other windows may not be Reader. The only useful tools are the find and page. This worked well in older versions of reader and acrobat in general.

  14. 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!)

  17. 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…

  18. Today I learned that when a PDF's text includes URLs that are -not- marked up as hyperlinks, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Apple Preview, and Google Chrome's built-in PDF renderer all attempt to convert the URLs to clickable hyperlinks for the reader's convenience.

    However, Adobe Acrobat Reader does a noticeably worse job than the other software. Specifically: if the URL is followed by punctuation, Acrobat includes the punctuation in the target of the hyperlink, resulting in a broken link. Apple Preview and Google Chrome handle punctuation correctly.

    You can see this behavior by opening the attached PDF in Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, and…

  19. Buenos días!

    He creado un archivo con Adobe LiveCycle, en el que campos deben rellenarse después de la firma. Todo funciona correctamente con Adobe Pro, pero no con Adobe Reader.
    Contacté vía chat con el servicio de asistencia pero me dijeron que era un problema de incompatibilidad de ambos programas por que esa acción se creaba en forma XFA, que no soportaba Adobe Reader.
    Considero importante que se pudieran firmar ese tipo de documentos con Adobe Reader o DC, que es el que utiliza la mayoría de los usuarios, ya que sí que funciona perfectamente con otros lectores de pdf…

  20. When I put an image field in PDF Acrobat form - and then test it, it will upload portrait pictures the right way. However, when you open the same document in Adobe Reader, and upload the picture, the picture is then orientated (sometimes various orientations but never the right one). If I rotate the picture first and then try and put it in the Adobe Reader form, it remains rotated in the position I don't want so I still don't get the right presentation. This does not happen with pictures that are taken in landscape from my camera - only…
