  1. If you use "Clear Formatting" on the comment content after adding a comment with the "Add note to replace text" tool, a new line / return is added at the end of the comment. This completely undercuts our workflow which relies on removing formatting information from comments we are using for review purposes.

  4. Steps to reproduce the issue :
    Happens in certain documents, not sure why.

    Environment:
    Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 22.001.20169

    Expected result
    If the document has 33 comments, I expect to see them all on opening, in the comments panel.

    Observed result
    On opening, only a fraction of comments is listed. E.g.: 3 comments (although the document has 33 comments instead).

    If I scroll down through all pages, the missing comments gradually appear, and the number of comments (on top of the comments panel) gets updated accordingly, while scrolling down.

    The comments' status doesn't seem to make a difference (whether they…

  5. Blocks of text aren't rendering correctly in Chrome or Edge (it works in Mozilla). These are files that have been saved as PDF from Illustrator or Indesign. The text renders correctly in the PDF desktop application, but isn't working properly in browser readers.

  6. when a user selects the line, then some options appears, from them one is highlighting feature, when i click that button selected line selected line converts to highlighted line but but but when i hover a mouse over highlighted button nothing appears. My suggestion is that when i hover mouse over the highlighting button , colour selecting option should appear, so i can change highlighting color at the time of selection.

  8. As explained in this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader-discussions/get-rid-of-7-day-trial-after-rotate-from-context-menu-within-plug-in/m-p/12897117#M90403), we'd like to get rid of the pop up when a user clicks on the rotate buttons in the context menu.
    In the base Adobe Reader it is possible to use other menu's, but when another piece of software uses the plug in, these menu's aren't available and users are left with either the rotate buttons which generate the pop up, or the only option Rotate to the right.
    Please let the rotate buttons in the context menu act without the advert for the 7-day trial.
    TIA!

  9. Dear Adobe support Team. Is rather BUG not Idea.Unfortunately, I noticed that the current 64-bit version of Actrobat Reader doen't handle 3D pdf with animation properly. Previously used versions (like eg. 2015.007.2033) handled these files without any problem. Any suggestions from Adobe or should I look for alternative solutions and resign from promoting solutions based on PDF like eg.HTML for 3D?

  10. Look, I get it. Reader DC is a free product Adobe would love to sell paid products/services. That's absolutely fine. But placing a toolbar button that suggests a basic feature such as rotate view may require the paid version/subscription is disingenuous at best. Seems a bit deceptive when it gets down to it. Not a fan Adobe!

  11. Currently when you open Reader for Windows it prompts you to sign in, even if the PDF you opened has no interactive elements. The only workaround for this - and this unneeded and unrequested sign-in pop-up is much complained about on Adobe forums - is a complicated Windows registry edit.

    It would be better if users could control whether or not this sign-in prompt with a preferences setting. Alternately, this pop-up could be made to fire only when a user is trying to accomplish something (e.g. signing) that actually requires them to login. Both of these solutions are better than…

  12. I use Adobe Acrobat DC 64 Bit to sign documents digitally. When I open a previously signed document, and use the document's bookmarks before signing the document myself, all previous signatures are shown to be invalid after signing and saving the PDF. Looks like using bookmarks is handled as document modification, although it is just normal usage.

  14. 意見ないし要望:
    以下の機能を担うショートカットキーを、新たに設けて欲しい。
    また、それに当たって、当方の希望するショートカットキーの設定も、併せて例示しておく。

    1.単ページ表示 : S キー
    2.見開き表示 : D キー (理由:上記「S キー」と位置的に近い)
    3.全画面表示 : F キー
    4.全画面表示解除 : F キー または Esc キー

    これらは、おそらくは、こと「閲覧」の際においては、割合良く使うものとなるだろうと思われるので、なるべく「ワンボタン操作」にしておいて欲しい。

    ――――――――――――――――――――

    理由ないし詳細:
    フルスクリーンで表示している状態のままで、「単ページ表示」と「見開き表示」とを切り替えたい、と思っている。
    また、「ウィンドウ表示」と「フルスクリーン(全画面表示)」とを切り替える、といった事も、閲覧の際の操作としては、割と良く有る事だと思われる。
    これらについて、ショートカットキーの新設を願う。

    私見だが、これらは、こと「閲覧」といった用途においては、かなり基本的なものであるように思われる。
    こういった「当たり前」ともいえる機能が、未だに整備されていない、とかいった事は、
    当該ソフトウェアが、こと「閲覧」を主目的としているユーザーに対して、配慮を欠いている、と言わざるを得ない。

    また、これも私見だが、当該ソフトウェアの使途としては、おそらくは9割方が、いわゆる「読み専」であろうと思われる。
    文書作成(書き専?)などの使途は、全体の内の1割程度に過ぎないのではないか、と思われる。
    それらの比率から見ても、いわゆる「読み専」とされるようなユーザーに対するフォローは、もう少し配慮されて然るべきであるように思われる。

    あと、これは少し発展的な意見となるかもしれないが、
    この際、「読み専」用に特化したようなアプリを、新規に開発もしくは配布なさっても良いのかもしれない。
    実際、当該アプリは、「読み専」としては不必要である機能が多過ぎる。
    その結果として、アプリとしての「軽快性」や「堅牢性」「簡易性」などが損なわれてしまっては、本末転倒である。
    よって、この際、「読み専」用に特化したような、簡易版ともいえるアプリを、Adobe自ら、新規に作成なさっては如何かと思う。
    上記にても有るように、その使途の9割方は、おそらく「読み専」である。
    想定されるユーザー数ないしニーズは、充分に大きい、と思われる。
    こういった重要な案件を、「他社任せ」などとしてはならない、と思う。
    差し出がましいかもしれないが・・・、
    これを「Acrobat Reader Light」とでも、仮に命名しておく。
    ご参考までに・・・。(笑)

  17. i need to have 2 different type of signature ie one drawn using personal name and one drawn using company name. Presently this is not allowed as one can only have one drawn signature per account.

    there should be a feature to allow for multiple signatures in one account as different document requires different signature.

    Am not sure why we are allowed to create namy digital signatures when one can only have one drawn signature at any one time.

    please add this feature.

  19. 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…
