  2. With the introduction of virtual desktops in Windows 10, some users such as myself have multiple projects going on simultaneously. The virtual desktop feature greatly aids compartmentalization in this aspect.

    Let us say I am working in a virtual desktop called vd3 for instance, and I do not currently have an instance of Acrobat running on vd3. Now I open a PDF file and there is already an instance of Acrobat running on a different virtual desktop, say vd1. Now, instead of opening a new instance of Acrobat in vd3, Windows forces a switch to vd1 and opens my PDF…

  3. Hello,

    I have usually opened few pdf files on my 3rd monitor (datasheets, manuals,etc - documentation for somethig that I work on right now), I also send inquires and initialize orders for things I need to... When I open pdf with invoices/inquires those files tends to move the Adobe Reader window to my center (primary) monitor and resize it (and change zoom) - it drives me mad.
    I did a bit research and this must happens because those files have defined so called "InitialView", so here is my petition:

    Add option that prevent window Adobe Reader DC from moving and…

  6. Restore the simple, clean layout of Reader 11, at least as an option, for those of us simple needs. I want a simple document reader, not an editor. Thank you.

  8. In todays world, many browsers now have built-in PDF viewers to help deal with end of browser plugins and the rise of HTML 5 and mobile apps. Can you please consider eliminating browser plugin for Adobe Reader DC and make Adobe Reader a Mac and Windows App store app as quickly as possible to modernize pdf experience and introduce adobe Scan app which uploads scanned document from iPhone directly to mac or windows PC as well.

    As many websites are going HTML 5 and browser plugin support is being reduced, we need to see adobe acrobat reader app converted from…

  9. We Desperately Need To Be Able To Control How Much Zoom We Want In Full Screen Mode.
    The Ctrl+ And Ctrl- Just Take Such Big Steps And I Cannot Adjust The Right Amount Of Zoom I Want.

    I Hope It's Not Too Difficult To Understand Or To Implement ... Because Without This, I Cannot Use Adobe Acrobat/Reader

  10. Hi. I would like to see in future versions two new improvments:
    1) set the "read mode" as de default viewing when opening every PDF file, instead of having to press "Ctrl+H" each time (just add an option in Preferences);
    2) create a new form of navigation throughout the file, a full screen thumbnail view, with page thumbnails side by side similar to what Adobe made with "Adobe Reader Touch" (too bad you discontinued that app) with a button shortcut to access it;

    Thanks

  11. I was asked to create a document in such a way that when it gets passed along it opens in Read Mode instead of with the comment, fill &sign and more tools panel open. Apparently that can't be done.

  12. When opening a fillable form, if you click in the form immediately after opening it in Adobe Acrobat, it will crash. You have to wait for the blue sign-in button to appear on the bottom left-hand portion of the screen. Once you see the sign-in button load, the application doesn't crash anymore.

  13. Please, keep the Toolbar menus as they have been; there is no benefit to the professional end-user community for the change, we don't have the time to learn yet another new way to do something that works fine in the original format. We know you are bored. Please find something else to do. We appreciate that you kept a lifeline out of the mess that was done, truly. On the next security patch update; kill that bloody "new menu" option. It'll wind up becoming unsupported, and another security surface opportunity for villains.

  14. バージョン2023.006.20320において、Acrobat Readerに関連付けられたPDFファイルをバックグラウンド印刷することができなくなりました。
    エクスプローラーでAcrobat Readerに関連付けられたPDFファイルを右クリックして「印刷」を選択すると、既定のプリンターに印刷されるのが期待値ですが、実際には印刷動作が行われません。
    Acrobat Readerを起動してからバックグラウンド印刷を行うと正常に印刷が行われます。
    印刷の関連付けに基づいてバックグラウンド印刷を行うアプリケーションが動作しなくなっていて非常に困っています。

  15. When commenting on files, I frequently switch between "add comment" "replace selected text" "cross out" and other tools. Now that tools are arbitrarily grouped together, it takes wastes time getting to the tool I need, especially if I have a document where I'm making thousands of comments.

    Please make the toolbar customizable as the new changes render the program much less functional. I'll be finding a new commenting program if this isn't fixed.

    Also, the toolbar should be at the top to make it much easier to reach. Please hire a UX person before making changes in the future.

  16. With the older version of Adobe reader in the commenting feature, I could highlight some text and start typing and it would automatically cross the text out and allow me to type to replace it. Now I have to manually select the function any time I want to replace text.

    Same with selecting text and deleting it.

    The update is not user friendly, and it's now taking me a lot longer to complete my proofreading jobs.

    Dear user,

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We are fully aware of the problem, and I want to assure you that our team is actively working on it. We will notify you as soon as we have a fix scheduled for inclusion in one of our upcoming releases.

    Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.


    Regards,

    Arvind

  17. I haven't seen anything as catastrophic as the new interface in years, it will be **** to work with this.
    The problem is the new floating menu for "Add comment". The menu, if activated, used to be on top of the page, so you could access everything with one click.

    Now with the new menu, I have to laboriously access everything with at least two clicks. It is beyond annoying and time-consuming.

    I am an editor and I work on lage pdfs which may have hundreds of comments and corrections. This will add to my workload no end. What on…

  18. You've provided toolbars at the top since the pdf reader existed. Now they are on the side and we cannot move them in this, the era of customization. Who thought this was a good idea?

  19. Technology plays a pivotal role in advancing audio description video accessibility by introducing innovative solutions to enhance the creation, delivery, and user experience. Here are some key roles technology can play:
    1. Automated Audio Description: Utilizing machine learning and artificial intelligence, technology can automate the process of generating audio descriptions, making it more cost-effective and efficient.

    1. Personalization and Customization: Technology enables users to personalize their audio description experience, allowing them to adjust narration speed, voice preferences, and even select specific audio description tracks tailored to their needs.

  20. The commenting feature on the new version is not as nice as the older version. It is limited to one type of text and confusing with sizing options. The old features w/ commenting and editing the document should be brought into the newer update to allow flexibility when editing the document.
