Acrobat Reader

Hello folks, Does anyone know why Adobe Acrobat Reader is so *incredibly* slow & keeps hanging please?I keep getting the 'not responding' message; have to close it down & try again.Documents load *really* slowly, if at all!I have a fast PC with 16GB of memory, so that shouldn't be the problem... Any ideas on speeding it up please?Maybe Adobe you coudl do so?! 

There is really no accessibility option to increase the UI font size? I find this hard to believe. The "scale for screen resolution" option does nothing. For older people it's nearly unusable because of this. 

I have a valid license for Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe E-signature. I reinstalled the Pro version, but I'm still seeing the same error.I’ve also signed in and out of Adobe E-signature, but it still says "You don't have an E-signature license." However, I can edit documents, and I do have active licenses for both Adobe Pro and E-signature.Could you please assist in resolving this issue?

Adobe has literally gotten on my last nerve. This software has to be the biggest piece of crap I have ever used in my life. Every single time I open a PDF it either crashes completely or takes a good minute of not responding before I can move forward.  If I want to combine PDF LMFAO forget about it ...it crashes immediately. This problem has been an issue with this software for yearssssss. So the question I have is for Adobe when are you going to finally make your software functional? Shall we just cancel our entire business account and find other PDF software company that can service us?

Since an update that took place on 6th November, if I place the cursor between two letters and press the space bar, ie to insert a space, then the space symbol does not show – only the caret symbol. The Comments box does actually have a space within it (you can't physically see it but if you place your cursor within it and press the right arrow key, the cursor will move one space); however, you can see on the PDF that a space has been inserted. The same thing happens if I select a group of characters and press the space bar to 'replace' those characters with a space.I attach a screen shot: the first markup is one I did before the update; the second two shows what happens after the update.Does anyone have any ideas how to get a visible space symbol back please? I have a PDF that needs returning to a client which now has inconsistencies in the markup.

Hi all-Our office recently installed Acrobat DC and we are becoming more familiar with it as we go... For me, I receive large scanned document files that I have to read, highlight, redact, sometimes edit and comment. I am able to use the highlight tool fairly easily, but is there a way to highlight in a straight line, rather than to have the shake of a hand make my document look unprofessional?  The highlighter gives me a circle for a cursor and it does not hug the text line at all. Any help is appreciated.ThanksFrank

I've created a fillable form; how to I justify the right margin for the interactive blocks?

I am over this!!!! I have tried to have it resolved by Adobe for the past six months and it is still not fixed. I can't open CAD drawings without my program crashing. The larger and more detailed the file, the faster and worse it crashes.  I have tried everything on these forums to fix the problem but it keeps happening. Please let me know when this will be fixed.

Is there a way to stop this? I disabled enhanced security and it still happens. It takes forever to save any documents and its annoying as it does virus scanning every time.

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - I rarely use this app and am very frustrated by its Save and Save As screens. I need to open a PDF through a network link (I do NOT know the path to this PDF), make comments, and save it. Simple.  But when I try to save or exit, Acrobat Reader is forcing me to select a Save As location. Why?? How do I force it to just save over the same PDF? I don't know this location, and it would be a tremendous amount of work to figure out where the PDF is. This is not a read-only file, and I have honestly never seen a piece of software from any other company force me to select a different path to save a writable file. Why does Adobe have to make everything so difficult? How do I force it to just let me overwrite the file?

Try to open a PDF document and get the error below. Note that, though it says "Acrobat", I'm using Reader.Since it's an XML parse error, I'm assuming this was an XFA doc created and converted to PDF using LiveCycle. Why am I getting this error, and how can I remedy it?

Hi,I have a number of pictures in an Adobe Acrobat DC file and the majority are showing up as grey boxes.I have already gone into preferences and selected show large images. Does anyone have any other suggestions?Thanks in advance for your help.

I am using the free Adobe 2023.003-20244 on Windows 10. There is a single tab along the top for each document opened. Unfortunately, the tab contains the document title instead of the file name. This is not useful for me because I open many files which show the same letters in their respective tabs. It turns out that the document titles are quite long and they differ only in the last portions of the titles. The tabs only show the leftmost portions of the titles, so the tabs display the same letters. The document titles are determined by the originators of these documents. In past versions of Reader, the document tabs showed the PDF file names, which I *do* control. I can choose file names that are distinguishable even though the tabs only show the leftmost portions of the name. Is there any way to have Reader show file names instead of document titles in the tabs?

Hi, I have a particular Excel document that hangs when opening the PDFs that are embedded in it, this has been occurring since the start of last week and has gone from one user to five being affected. This lead me to believe it was related to the latest updated, when using a version of Adobe Reader v22 there are no issues at all. However on the latest version, the application Acrobat Reader will hang on 95% of the embeds and not load, and on the remainder it wil say "An error exists on this page, Adobe may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." again this spreadsheet works fine with older versions of Acrobat Reader. Other Excel documents that have embeds seem fine, it's only this particular one so I think it is possibly something in the PDFs corporate template that Reader is having the issue with now. I've tried ensuring that all users were on the latest versions of Office 365 and Adobe Reader. I've perf

I have always been able to draw as much as I want on my PDF but recently whenever I lift tup my pen it reverts back to the selection tool.For example if I want to draw a word: after I draw the first letter and lift up my pen I cannot keep drawing the rest of the letters of the word. It just selects the letter I have drawn and lets me move it or delete it.

At some point recently a big blue button suggesting I try Acrobat Pro DC has appeared on the tab bar, it's so large it blocks view of the tabs when viewing a pdf alongside another window (approx 95% of my use of acrobat reader). See image below. How does one remove this? It's making the program difficult to use. 

To whoever it may concern,While I was working on my other monitor, I suddenly saw a command prompt window pop up and then disappear immediately. I went to check the "Task Scheduler" application, and it said that the last thing that ran was an Adobe Acrobat updater. This happened at approximately the same time I saw the window pop up. I checked the triggers, and it says it only triggers at 2:00 PM Everyday but the pop-up appeared at 1:39 PM. The only other trigger says "At log on -  after triggered repeat every 03:30:300 indefinitely," which I'm unsure if it caused the pop-up to appear. I unfortunately couldn't get a picture of the command prompt window as it disappeared way too fast, and I don't have a screen recording that I can look back on. I'm unsure if I'm just being a bit too paranoid or if this is just normal. I recently got hacked, and I'm starting to notice a lot of small details I previously hadn't noticed before.  I have disabled the task for the time being until I

Hi,, We are having issues with Standard 2020 and Pro 2020. All installations suddenly is unable to print from Adobe itself. All PDF files.

I have finished making a form fillable PDF.  I want to put some restrictions on the form, so that end users cannot edit the forms or add additional text/move text around.  When the users complete the form, I want them to be able to print the document to PDF.  My current encryption is as follows:Printing = allowed at high resolutionChanges Allowed = filling in form fields and signing existing signature fieldsRight now, when I print the document to a printer, there is no issue.  But, when I print the document to PDF, I get the following message:%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%I have read countless posts about not being able to print an encrypted PDF file to PDF, but that just is not accurate.  I use form fillable PDFs all the time.  Those PD
