Acrobat Reader

Hi Everyone, I am currently Downloading PDF Files from my Gmail account to my Desktop.Up until today, I was able to Download these files no problem. Today however, everytime that a PDF Files completes downloading from Gmail to my Desktop, Adobe Acrobat Automatically Opens the file on my Computer. This is Driving me MAD! Is there any way to stop this from happening? I've attached a file that I got from a Reddit post - where other people were having this issue.It seems that in the past, that there was a check-box option in Acrobat Reader under Edit -> Preferences -> General  to turn off this annoying features. But this option is missing on my Acrobat Reader.

I've seen countless posts all the way back to 2020 about this issue while searching the Adobe community and it's hard to believe this is still an issue after 5+ years of users reporting the exact same issue. Several users in our office, including myself, are unable to use the fill & sign tool. After clicking "Sign Yourself" then clicking "Add Signature," Adobe greys out and freezes. It acts as if you're supposed to see a popup or a new window but nothing happens even after letting it sit for a while. The only way to close Adobe at this point is to kill it with task manager. We're alll using Adobe Acrobat Standard (64-bit) version 25.001.20813 on Windows 11 PCs. I've done all the suggested troubleshooting from multiple past posts including the following:Signing out and signing back into my Adobe Account.Updating Adobe to the latest & greatest.Repairing Adobe.Uninstalling Adobe using the Adobe Cleaner Tools and reinstalling.Uninstalling then deleting all folders an

Can someone tell me why is this happening? I have a regular pdf file with text on, but whenever I try selecting a portion or highlighting it, it selects a giant portion as if the font size was giant. I tried the "recognize text" tool (OCR) but did nothing. It's also not the first file I encounter this problem with.  Thanks in advance.

How can I stop Adobe from starting and opening every time I start up my computer?I have both the options "open at login" and "keep in dock" turned off.  Still, it automatically starts and opens when I start my computer. This just started happening recently.

Since about 1 - 2 Months ago Adobe opens Downloaded PDF Files from Chrome or Edge automaticly. The Setting to deactivate it is found under the general Settings.A direct translation from german would be: "open PDF-files that are saved from the internet" The Issue is that everyeone would need to do this manually, there does not seem to be a registry key or anything else to deactivate it on a company level. I don't think any administrator wants to set this setting for their 300 colleagues and if anyone knows of a way to deactivate it automatically that would be perfect. For anyone interested, yes the default PDF program is not adobe but it still opens files that Edge or other browsers download.In addition to that, right below the setting itself is a link that supposedly shows compatible browsers but i only get a "404 not found" when I klick on it.

I've just downloaded acrobat reader on my new pc, but I don't understand why the version looks so different from the one I had on my older pc... anyone knows how to help? 

Hello, Until last week, it was possible to add PDF files directly as attachments to a Microsoft Outlook mail.Now an additional button has been added where a link is shared and the file is shared through Adobe's cloud service. Is it possible to turn off the option to send the file as a link (and thus upload it to the cloud) by default? So that all files go directly to Outlook as attachments by default again?

Hello Adobe team,Since the introduction of the new Belgian eID cards (which use the ECDSA algorithm instead of RSA), it has become impossible to sign PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for macOS.The signature certificates on the card are correctly recognized (5 green check marks), and the PIN is accepted, but at the end of the signing process Acrobat shows this error:"Fout aangetroffen tijdens ondertekenen: Niet-ondersteund algoritme."This issue only occurs on macOS.The same eID card works perfectly on Windows and in the official Belgian eID Signature Portal.According to BOSA (Federal Public Service for Digital Transformation, Belgium), they are in contact with Adobe regarding this missing functionality, as Acrobat for macOS does not yet support ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm).Could you please confirm:-Whether ECDSA support for Belgian eID will be implemented in an upcoming macOS release, and-If there is a timeline for this update?Thank you very much for your a

I have a new (Belgian) eID. But the certificates were not longer recognised. So I re-Installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The certificate for signature is now accepted and tested (5 green check marks). But at the end of the process to sign a .pdf document the error appears: (dutch:) “Fout aangetroffen tijdens ondertekenen: Niet-ondersteund algoritme” (free translated:)”Error encountered while signing: Unsupported algorithm”. What can I do? Please answer.

Hallo,ich habe heute mit Adobe Acrobat Reader DC ein Dokument ausgefüllt und mit meiner Unterschrift versehen. Dabei wurde eine geschützte Kopie in meinem Konto gespeichert ("archiviert") und ein Freigabelink erzeugt. Im Vorfeld war mir nicht klar, dass der Freigabelink ungeschützt ist, daher würde ich diese "Vereinbarung" gerne wieder löschen. Weiß jemand Rat? Mit normalen Dokumenten geht das Löschen problemlos, mit solchen 'archivierten Vereinbarungen' aber nicht. Leider konnte man mir bei Adobe nicht weiterhelfen.Die einzige Anleitung, die ich gefunden habe (<https://helpx.adobe.com/de/sign/kb/delete-an-agreement.html>), bezieht sich auf einen Datenschutzadministrator, was aber für ein 'normales' Adobe-Konto nicht zutreffend ist, sondern offenbar nur für Adobe Sign In - was ich jetzt nicht abonnieren möchte - v.a. auf die Gefahr hin, auch damit nicht an die ohne dies erstellte 'Vereinbarung' heranzukommen.Aber es muss doch möglich sein, die Hoheit über die eigenen Da

Hi all. I hope you can help me with this one.I've created a simple PDF-form with some text fields to be filled out.

Alguns documentos PDFs não exibem mais a pré visualização, no lugar, aparece uma mensagem informando que o arquivo pode danificar o computador, e que, caso confie no arquivo e na fonte, tenho que abrir para visualizar seu conteúdo. Porém, são documentos que eu mesmo fiz e/ou baixei de diversas fontes. E aparece esse mesmo erro de pré visualização. Como corrigir e voltar a ver a visualização sem necessáriamente precisar abrir o arquivo?

The submit form button on IRS Form 4506-B PDF is not working un Adobe Reader and I am unable to find any customer support without paying for an adobe account. Can anyone help me with this? The IRS gives no other option than to submit this form through Adobe reader. So while this button is not working I have no idea what else to do. When I click the button, nothing happens. There is no loading screen, no confirmation screen, no indication whatsoever that anything is happening.

Your feedback matters—and we’ve listened.   We understand that not everyone requires AI assistance in their workflow. Many of you shared concerns about intrusive prompts and lack of control, and we’ve taken action.  Now, Acrobat gives you complete control over AI features through Preferences.

How do I disable the comments bar from opening up automatically everytime I open a pdf file?

On my HP Spectre All-in-One laptop running Windows 11 Professional Edition 64 bit, when I start the laptop Adobe Reader does not open with pdfs where I left off.I have Googled this issue and checked the boxes in Preferences, Documents "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" as well as under General where it says, "Open Pdfs from last session on Acrobat Launch" but it still does not open the pdfs where they were when I shut down the laptop.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader as well. 

Hi,When I type any word, some letters do not appear immediately. I need to wait some time to see them. The Adobe Acrobat Reader freezes, and I need to reload the program again and again. I updated the program, but it hasn't helped.I was wondering if somebody could help me to solve this problem.

When I try to print a page that consists of a standard form merged with data, only the form prints. The printer sounds like it's printing, but doesn't.An example is a PDF bank statement that consists of a form with the bank's name address, logo, etc., and the transactions. The transactions don't print.  If I highlight the data, it prints in a highlighted font. In a different PDF document, it printed only one word of an entire page. Examination of that word revealed a blue shading on only that word.

Alguns dias após instalar o Adobe Acrobat Reader el não abre mais os arquivos diretamente. Toda vez ele solicita que aceite o acordo de licença de software.
