Acrobat Reader

I am sorry to disturb again the community but i still cannot install Acrobat Reader on my PC (Win 11 Surface Pro).I am using the official download from Adobe web site, installation starts and finishes successfully but NO Acrobat Reader is installed on the PC.I tried this over and over again. I also used Adobe cleaner to make sure that no garbage from prior installations remain on the PC but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.Many thanksDinos

I am constantly being bombarded with annoying Adobe Autocrat update pops and Adobe product promo popups several times each day. How do I stop them?

Hi there. Normally when someone send me a PDF, I can open it via iphone/ipad and use the fill&sign and drag my signature to sign it and the form is saved. Recently the pdf file sent to me are password protected and i can import to acrobat and enter password and sign but it doesn't get saved. Is there a work around for this. There is no problem when doing it on desktop but I don't want to leave my adobe signed in on desktop with my signature and I prefer on iphone/ipad as it's faster and I am always on the move. Please advise. Thanks!Swadeep

I realize it may seem somewhat unusual to post a question and then answer it myself. However, after more than three decades developing interactive PDF forms and applications, I thought this might be a useful topic to share with Adobe Reader users who may not realize how much functionality can be built into a PDF while still allowing the completed application to operate in the free Adobe Reader.The answer is yes — and considerably more than many Adobe Reader users may realize!Interactive PDF forms can be designed to perform many application-like functions while still operating in the free Adobe Reader. Depending upon how the PDF is developed, JavaScript can be used behind the scenes to perform calculations, validate information, automate repetitive tasks, manage form data, populate fields, search and retrieve stored information, and provide other interactive functions.From the user's standpoint, none of this requires an understanding of Acrobat JavaScript or PDF form development. The pr

I have some digital downloads that are google pdfs. Is it possible to convert them to Adobe PDFs? All I see is the option to convert them to other formats. I need to do this in order to print them.

Dear Sir, When I open a PDF Document I am taken to a website - Contacting [weblink removed] for OCSP based revocation checking... but when I cancel by pressing escape my PDF document is opened. Please guide me what is this happening while opening the PDF Document... Murugan Narayan

How can I: 1-Compress multiple files in a directory, or 2-Compress an entire directory, or even 3-Compress an entire thumb drive full of pdf files?The question is clear enough

I am trying to setup digital signature on Macbook Air with M3 chip. It is not beeing detected automatically during "Configure a Digital ID for signing" -> "Use a signature Creation Device". I understand that workaround is to Attach Module in Preferences -> Signatures -> PKCS#11 Modules and Tokens.  The button Attach Module is not active. Is there any way to solve this?

I have a PDF located on a dropbox server accessible to about 4-5 people. 3 people were on the document leaving comments as a way to proof. When one of them went to save, the entire document got corrupted. The file was NOT a read only file. This issue only happened with one person, the other two were able to save it fine. Was this an issue because it was 3 people on one large file? or is there something else going on?(i know very little about tech stuff. feel free to explain things to me like i’m 4.)  

Sometime in the past couple months the Fill & Sign text color changed to white...which makes it useless for filling in forms on white background. I've searched the community and everything says the color of the Fill & Sign font cannot be changed.I had to uninstall version 2019.021.20061 and reinstall an older version (.20058) to be able to use Fill & Sign again.Anybody else? Since I didn't find any Community topics where someone else mentioned it, maybe it was just a quirk of my PC/system or a bad install. Certainly it could not have been intended...Thanks

Well, this question has been on for a long time but everyone seems to ignore it, so I'll just give it another shot.I get this error when trying to copy something.Most of the time, if i ignore the error I can still find it in the clipboard.Sometimes I'm lucky and it doesn't happen (using the same document), so this clears that it has no copyright protection.Yesterday I worked all day on a document with no problems, but today I'm losing a lot of time dealing with the problem and trying to fix it. (hope this clears that I have all software up to date and no plugins missing)The thing is that I often work on asian character texts and ignoring the error does no good because all I have left in the clipboard is junk data (an example of copied text: ‘¾—zŒõ”­“dƒVƒXƒeƒ€‚ÌLCA)If I try to copy again, sometimes it works (I have to try from 3 up to more than 15 times though), but I will get the error when I try copying the next word.I really doubt there's an instant solution for this, so all I'm aski

This has been bugging me for ages and I haven't ever found a fix.Why is it that when I open an existing PDF, edit that PDF, and then click save, it ALWAYS asks me where to save it? I just want to override the previous file. 99.999999% of all products I use where I open an existing document, then click save, it automatically saves it to the same location I previously had the document saved to, and it doesn't require me to go in and select where I want to save it.It makes no sense to me and drives me insane that when I make one small adjustment, I can't just click save and be done with it.

Hello everyone,, It's considered the premiere pdf software, but it has trouble just opening files, let alone more than one. Scrolling leads to system hangs. The program crashes periodically even when you're not really doing much that stresses it [Spam link removed by moderator.] Is the issue a simple bit of code that IT pros are familiar with, or is it just buggy for no good reason???

Adobe Acrobat Reader has become exhausting and frustrating to use.What was once a simple PDF reader now feels like a bloated platform full of forced features, popups, banners, side panels, auto-opening windows, and promotional messages. Even when I only want to open and read a PDF, I am constantly interrupted.This is not productivity. This is distraction.There are far too many unnecessary settings and integrations that normal users never asked for. The interface is cluttered, confusing, and overloaded. Basic tasks require dismissing multiple UI elements before you can even focus on the document.The software feels intrusive. It pushes upgrades, cloud services, accounts, AI features, and other extras that have nothing to do with reading a PDF.For users who simply need a fast, quiet PDF reader, this experience is unacceptable.Right now Acrobat Reader feels closer to adware than professional software.Many people do NOT want an ecosystem. We do NOT want forced integrations. We do NOT want b

The adobe upgrade will not install. The message "Upgrade status - installing. Thanks for your patience."Any suggestsions on how to fix?

In our enterprise, few users (60+) are facing an issue while launching  the shortcut Adobe acrobat reader DC, "Invalid Plugin detected. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC will quit".   As mentioned in the Adobe technical forum, downloaded the latest patches from vendor site and installed the same. issue was still persist.   later we had used the Adobe utility removal to cleanup the corrupted installation files. Rebooted. Installed the latest version. issue was still persist.   Finally just renamed the plugin folder from this location, C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\plug_ins and launched the shortcut. it is working as expected.   After successfull launch, changed the folder from plug_ins_rename to plug_ins. launched agian, no issue persist.   Could you please help me to understand why the exisitng plugin files (before deletion) were not working. how do we fix this for large number of users. is there any automated fix for wider dep

The “Make current properties default” option is missing from the comment properties pop-up, so I cannot change the colors of my comments, or my commenting name, and have the changes stick. See! No “Make current properties default” at the bottom! This happens regardless of whether I’m using new-look Reader or reverting to the old version. I’m in Windows 11 and using a 32-bit version because apparently that’s all that works with an ARM processor. I remember this happening once before (on my previous laptop), and I don’t remember what fixed it. (Perhaps related: I am not signed in, or at least it does not appear that I’m signed in, because when I do try to sign in, the browser sign-in works fine, but then the app freezes up and a I just get a repeated error ping if I click on anything, and I have to force-quit out.

I saved MS Word docs a Adobe PDF for many years without having any paid Adobe subscription.  15 months ago I took out an Acrobat Pro subscription, but recently (because of under-use) I switched over to Audition.  Now I can no longer use the Save as PDF function in Word (Desktop version 10).  It seems that removing my Pro privileges also removed a feature that had been available to me for previous years.  How can I get this functionality reinstated?

Hi everybody, I was surprised seeing that Adobe Reader DC is showing the "title" of a PDF in the top bar (above the menu). But actually, nobody is using this functionality when creating PDFs out of Word for instance. (Used Version: 2019.10.20069)How can I change it back in Adobe Reader DC to just see the "filename" of the currently opened document? Thanks, guys, for your thoughts and helpCheers, Chris

I created a PDF file long ago, but now I forgot the password. How can I recover my password or open the file??

I recently had an update to Acrobat Reader through the automated update program.  Without my knowledge, permission, or warning, the update installed the Microsoft Bing Rewards extension into my Chrome browser.Why was this part of an automated update?If I wanted to use Bing search on my computer, I would use Edge instead of Chrome.  Personally, I have a real problem with this because this software is supposedly trustworthy and it pulled a stunt like this.  Remember folks, this is MY computer and I will have the final say of what runs and does not run on it.
