1. PDF file type association broken after upgrading from Reader 2017 to Reader 2020

   In Windows 10, the file type association for .pdf stops working after upgrading from Adobe Reader 2017 (Classic Track) to Reader 2020 (Classic Track). Issue occurs if file association was originally configured by DISM or user for previous Adobe Reader version. The same .pdf file association is expected to work with new Adobe Reader versions.

   Double-clicking a PDF file displays Windows prompt "How do you want to open this file?". The HKCR registry key still contains an entry for the ProgID, AcroExch.Document.2017. Should the Reader 2020 installer remove the HKCR\AcroExch.Document.2017 registry key? Deleting the key appears to resolve the issue.

   Steps to reproduce the issue:
   1. Install Windows 10 Enterprise.
   2. Install Adobe Reader 2017 (Classic Track) using bootstrapper installation (setup.exe).
   3. Set default PDF program manually. This can also be applied using DISM during operating system deployment with XML containing the following entry; <Association Identifier=".pdf" ProgId="AcroExch.Document.2017" ApplicationName="Adobe Acrobat Reader 2017" />
   4. Install Adobe Reader 2020 (Classic Track) using bootstrapper installation (setup.exe).

2. Acrobat Reader 2017 start menu shortcut not removed after installing Reader 2020

   In Windows 10, after installing Acrobat Reader 2020 the start menu shortcut for the previous installation of Reader (2017) has not been removed. The Reader 2020 installer is expected to remove the Reader 2017 start menu shortcut. This does occur as expected if the base version of Reader 2017 (17.008.30051) is installed prior to installing Reader 2020.

   Steps to reproduce the issue:
   1. Install Windows 10 Enterprise.
   2. Install Adobe Reader 2017 (Classic Track) using bootstrapper installation (setup.exe). Setup.ini includes PATCH command under [Product] section; PATCH=AcroRdr2017Upd1701130196_MUI.msp.
   3. Install Adobe Reader 2020 (Classic Track) using bootstrapper installation (setup.exe).

4. "highlight current bookmark" does not work any more

   When the above option is selected the hightlighting of the current bookmark should follow the reading, i.e. the hightlighted bookmark should be synchronous to the currently read text. This was the case in former Readers but does not work any more.

5. Adobe Reader DC should open Windows Protocol Handler links regardless of the default browser

   Hello. We have a situation where a Windows protocol handler product is used to open documents from an EDRMS. At some point Adobe has apparently changed how it opens links. Now it simply passes a link to the system's default browser on the command line. As as some browsers (notably Chrome and recent builds of Edge which are based on Chromium) don't handle protocol handler URLs from the command line, this style of link now fails to activate.

   Links will be of a form similar to example://12345/open but I think this is an issue for all Windows protocol handlers.

   ENVIRONMENT:

   Windows 10,
   Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2021.001.20145, and
   Chrome 89.0.4389.90 (64 bit) as the system's default browser.

   STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

   (1) Create and register a Windows Protocol Handler. (Example instructions: https://medium.com/swlh/custom-protocol-handling-how-to-8ac41ff651eb )

   (2) Make sure Chrome is the system's default browser.

   (3) Create a PDF which includes a hyperlink to open a URL of the registered protocol's form.

   (4) Confirm that the protocol handler activates and does its thing when pasted into the Windows Start/Run dialog. (This is just to confirm that it's registered properly as far as Windows is concerned.)

   (5) Open Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, disable "Enable Protected Mode At Startup" under the Enhanced Security preferences, and restart Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

   (6) Open the PDF that was created in step 3.

   (7) Click the protocol handler's link, and click through any warnings.

   EXPECTED RESULT:

   • The protocol handler should be run according to the link that was clicked. (In our own case, the designated executable should go to the EDRMS and cause the document to be checked out and opened.)

   OBSERVED RESULT:

   • A blank Chrome browser window opens.
   • Interrogating the process list with Powershell indicates that the new Chrome window was opened with the protocol handler's URL on the command line. For example:

   PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-CimInstance win32process | Where-Object {$.Name -eq "chrome.exe"} | Select-Object CommandLine

   CommandLine

   ---

   "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --single-argument example://12345/open
   "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --type=crashpad-handler "--user-data-dir=C:\Users\usernm\AppData\L...
   "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --type=gpu-process --field-trial-handle=1660,1197437607337992284,2...

   "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --type=utility --utility-sub-type=storage.mojom.StorageService --f...
   "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --type=renderer --field-trial-handle=1660,1197437607337992284,2916...
   "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --type=renderer --field-trial-handle=1660,1197437607337992284,2916...
   "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --type=renderer --field-trial-handle=1660,1197437607337992284,2916...

   ADDITIONAL:

   If Firefox or MSIE was set as the default browser, then the browser opens. It typically displays an additional warning, but still allows the protocol handler to be activated. This is consistent with those browsers' behaviour when a non-http link is provided on the command line.

   Ideally, if there's no compelling reason not to, I think Adobe Reader should be telling the OS to handle the protocol handler links instead of the default browser. It might be that this will still fail when Adobe Reader is running in Protected Mode, but we're making a conscious decision to run it without protected mode in some contexts so that we can use these links.

   Thanks.

6. save all closed tabs

   It would be nice to have a 'save all closed tabs'. Then I can re-open these on the next session. Unfortunately, this option is still not available.
   Google has such extension called OneTab. Something similar on Adobe Reader would be great!
   This has been requested by several others (see in comments https://acrobat.uservoice.com/forums/590923-acrobat-for-windows-and-mac/suggestions/31145458-save-all-tabs-with-one-click)

   Once you re-start, you should just be able to re-open the whole bunch of pdf's that you closed before with one click

9. regarding meaning search

   If we don't know meaning of the word while reading in a document then there must be search by web option along with the copy tab or you can simply add Dictionary into Adobe so that it will become more user friendly and more helpful to the person who is in need to search that meaning.

10. Show commenting tools in full screen mode or at least allow to move all menus and panes to sides.

    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.

11. Use alt / ctrl keys to force freehand marker instead of cursor-based highlighter

    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 used on document without selectable text in that area).

12. Blur tool in Photoshop for iPad

    Photoshop for iPad is of great importance especially for natural work with a pencil. Especially with tools like brush, eraser ... But why isn't the "blur" tool available in Photoshop for iPad? This tool is directly designed for the pencil, according to my experience. Would it be possible to supplement it?

    I color code my highlights and would really appreciate having an option to choose any color from a color wheel or hex code rather than having to choose from the 12 predetermined colors in the app. The iPad app is even more limited with only 7 colors to choose from.

17. Ctrl home displays hidden side bar & bookmark bar - MOST ANNOYING

    It is already extremely annoying to hide elements in Acrobat.

    For reasons only known to your idiot design team, you persist in the view that the UI MUST BE RESET ON EVERY DOCUMENT LOAD.

    I read > 30 PDFs in a DAY. FOR EVERY ONE, I have to hide elements of the UI (typically the left side). EVERY F*** PDF.

    Today I find that hitting Ctrl-Home re-displays the full left bar.
    WHY.
    WHO THINKS THIS IS A GREAT IDEA - Lets re-purpose a standard document navigation key into a UI state change.
    PG UP to the top page does the same.
    So it seems that the UI Gurus at Adobe though that when I go to document top, I wanted my UI settings overridden.

    STOP DOING THIS.

    Allow the user to setup their work environment AS THEY SEE FIT.
    DO NOT OVERRIDE THE USER's settings.
    DO NOT DISPLAY USER HIDDEN DISPLAY OPTIONS.
    RESPECT STANDARD KEY SEQUENCES in the OS environments and DO NOT OVERRIDE OR OVERLOAD the operators.

    Get a new set of UI designers.

18. Allow opening several PDFs in several windows - not in tabs - by default.

    I know that a lot of programs are switching towards a tab-based structure when opening several files at a time. But it sometimes is very handy to be able to open several PDFs in several windows. I know that this is possible by rightclicking the file etc., but I miss a setting that opens PDFs be default in a new window - and not in a new tab.

    Can there be some kind of "setting" that says:
    O - open PDFs in new tabs
    X - open PDFs in new windows

19. Web-Search option back to browser PDF-viewer right-click menu

    I have to work with PDFs a lot and I have to deal with them via browser. For the past years I haven't had any problems with using the browser PDF-viewer, but as of recently the option to do a quick google search in a new tab when highlighting text within a document and right-clicking on it is no longer available. There is 'copy', 'print', 'rotate', 'save as' but not the 'search the web for [highlighted text]' which was so very helpful and useful for me. Please, consider making it available again since I can hardly imagine how anyone would benefit from removing this feature.
