Acrobat Reader

Adobe Reader (pro) constantly asks questions in blue boxes such as asking me to enable extensions in Chrome (even if they are enabled). I never want to see any of these boxes ever again. In preferences I have “Don’t show messages while viewing a document” checked and “Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat” unchecked. I don’t know if Adobe gets more “points” for documents being opened in a browser but there are plenty of quirks in the browser experience to have the app be preferable. You should let us prefer the app and not advertise your Chrome extension all day.

Hello, My organization has a use case where we need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe Acrobat Standard installed simultaneously for certain users. It looks like as of Reader/Acrobat 26.001.21651, the Print dialog in Reader does not display the list of software printers correctly. For example, the Microsoft Print to PDF option prints to a different printer when selected, and shows that other printer’s properties when Properties is clicked. This is the case for all software printers in the list. Physical printers on our print server appear to be unaffected. I did a capture with ProcMon, and it looks like what is happening is Reader is enumerating all of the printers the user has available, but does not list the Adobe PDF Converter that is installed along with Acrobat (it shows up as “Adobe PDF” in the Windows registry and the Procmon log). However, I think although when it filters the name of this printer, it isn’t removing its properties, so those properties ‘roll over’ to the next

Any solutions?

I have installed Adobe acrobat reader on my Mac. When no PDF files are open, I see it automatically opens a “welcome” screen, the default page being the Recent tab. This tab contains advertisements which I don’t like so I would like to hide this tab or perhaps the whole default screen When acrobat reader launches. Can I find a setting to do that in the preferences? Architecture: x86_64Processor: IntelBuild: 25.1.20643.0AGM: 7.1.17CoolType: 10.0.7JP2K: 4.0.2.54782

I have two OneDrive folders on my laptop: one for my personal account and one for my university account. Whenever I open a PDF file from my university OneDrive or my laptop's local files, it opens completely fine, like normal. But when I try to open any PDF file from my personal OneDrive, it pops up with the message, "There was an error opening this document. Access denied." All the permissions for the files allow me to open them, and some of them are files I created. It has only started happening recently, despite having worked for a long time before this issue arose.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat, and I have signed out and back into my OneDrive, but nothing has worked.  If I move the files to my university OneDrive or local files, the file can be opened, it's only when it comes directly from my personal OneDrive. I have tried opening the PDFs on a different computer, and I could access them from my personal OneDrive, so it's specifically t

Hi everyone, so I am trying to print my .pdf file in color, but it only prints out in black & white, even though it's in color on the screen itself.I made the .PDF in word and then converted it to a .PDF .. Could it be some word settings?I can print out other .pdf files normally in color, so it shouldn't be the printer settings. Everything is up to date, driver etc.What should I do?

Hi all. I'm posting this in the hopes that it might help someone else out that may have the same symptom. Last week, my Adobe Reader stopped printing. Nothing I did produced any result. Not hitting the print icon. Not hitting CTRL+P. Not selecting "print" from the drop-down menu. There was no error message. No nothing. It was as if I hadn't clicked anything. I tried repairing the installation, no help. I've rebooted the computer many times over the last couple weeks. Here's what finally fixed it. On a whim, I went to Windows Explorer, right-clicked on the PDF file, and selected "print" from Explorers context menu. Adobe flashed open for a sec, and the document printed. Now, Adobe Reader prints as it always used to do. There must have been some little "glitch" or something going on.Problem solved. Hope this helps someone else.Artie

Correct a "PDF missing component" error message after opening Quiockbooks Pro 2020 in Windows 11

As of today, I am unable to delete some editable text and/or images in familiar pdf files. I can put a bounding box around the item that want to delete and I can resize it, copy it, paste it and I can even move it off the page, but the delete button has no effect. This seems to only affect some of the editable items or images on the page and not others. I have been following through on some suggested fixes on Copilot but nothing has resolved it so far. I am guessing an update has caused some issues as this is not the only thing that I have encountered with Pro today. Other settings have changed, which I have had to reset. Would be good to get some prompt attention from Adobe on this. Using V.2026.001.21789

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader -  the free version.  Everytime I open a pdf file, a pop up comes up asking me to subscribe to the free trail and to buy now for the Adobe Pro.  When I close out the pop up, it shuts down the Adobe Reader as well.  How can I just use the free version?   Thank you 

Whenever I open an existing pdf document, by default Acrobat always includes the right-hand side "tools pane", which takes up about 1/3rd of the window pane.  To minimise it, I have to always go to >>View,>>Show/Hide,>>Tools Pane>> then toggle/click.  Or on my laptop shift+Fn Key+F4.How can I change this to not include the Tools Pane in full and just have it in its minimised form, like icons on the right-hand side, which is how it shows when I manually hide it.

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.

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
