Acrobat Reader

Sometimes when opening a PDF document from an email the Page Thumbnails panel will be open with the previews. I do not want this to occur when opening a document. I have version 2022.003.20314 if that is helpful.

I have a form that I am trying to create that will be used by ~100 employees. It has 27 fields, but not will be filled in each time. There are 20 text fields, and 7 drop downs.  I have figured out how to set the text-fields to 'Read Only' when a box is checked, but all of the Drop-Downs can still be selected and edited by the person who needs to sign it.  How can I get my form to ONLY have the Signature line as an available option for the signatory? Requiring each employee to go through and manually change each drop down every time it is used is not an option.  Thanks! 

My pdf windows with parts outside the screen, so like I can't see the minimise, maximise, close tabs; I also can't see the File, Edit, View, Window.... tabs. I can still access the tabs with the keyboard but I would like the window to open so I don't have to resize the windows all the time. I tried looking through the options in edit>perferences but can't find the related option. Is there a way make it so that the windows open inside the screen?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum. I have a number of documents that are created in Word and exported to PDF, then hosted/viewed online. I have no trouble creating the document outline in Reader (online and offline) by using Word's heading styles, but I'm wondering how to force a PDF to show that outline by default (the default in Reader and most browsers seems to be that it's toggled off). I have found other PDFs online that have this function, so I know it's possible, but I can't seem to find documentation on how. Thanks!

My printer is working, but I can't print from Adobe Reader.  When I try to print something from Adobe Reader, the print queue comes up empty.

Suddenly, my desktop Adobe isn't allowing printing slide formatted handouts from a powerpoint. Never had this problem before. Any solutions?

I'm marking up a PDF and can't find the callout box option in either the mobile version or the web version of Acrobat Reader. I'm thinking of the text box with an arrow that you can add to the PDF with a comment inside.Has this been removed?

I can open Reader DC in 64-bit Win 10 only with Admin privilege, otherwise get "Acrobat failed to open its core dll" message. Same message when clicking on a .pdf file (but it does work if I open with MS Edge). Also, MS files can save as .pdf despite the same error message which appears after saving. I've tried repair, clear and re-install, and changing security permissions; any suggestions about what next?(2 other similarly configured PCs, with different hardware, work fine).

I want to open documents WITHOUT thumbnails always appearing on the left side. Is this possible? I've checked preferences and I cannot find where to enable/disable thumbnail view. I don't want to have to X out of the thumbnail view for every doc.

We own a couple of dozen Adobe standard DC licenses and have them all registered through our IT department. Only downside is the sync functionally enabling any of user end users to see what others are working on or use their signatures. How do we prevent our end users from seeing what others are working on and take away their ability to sign documents using another's signature. There has to be an easy way to turn off this sync functionality. The only option in Adobe online services is to sync preferences across all devices even with that unchecked it still pulls in the documents. Please helpDrew Parker

Hello,After two days of work adding comments, they are all lost. Please help!

Hi All, I'm having an issue printing eBay shipping labels with U.S. Postal Service barcodes on my Zebra LP-2844Z thermal printer. I'm seeing jagged edges, or horizontal spikes coming out of the main vertical barcode lines. It looks perfect when viewing it in Reader, but printing to the 203DPI Zebra printer it looks less than optimal. The barcode in the PDF appears to be an image, not a vector object. Not sure if that matters.I am not using "Print As Image" and printing at Actual Size, or 100%. Using "Print As Image" degrades the quality of the entire label. I don't think there's a printer driver problem, because other PDF reader software (like Foxit) can print the barcodes perfectly, as straight, smooth lines, as would be expected. I tested this on Adobe Reader DC v023.008.20555 in both Windows 7 and WIndows 10, and it prints exactly the same in both OS's. Please see attached images.  Oddly enough, both barcode images below scanned successfully a

I have spent way too many hours over way too many months trying to figure this out. I have not found anything specific to my problem in the discussions. I have used Adobe on my desktop for many years to edit and sign pdfs. Since the update, sometime earlier this year, I can no longer click add signature and add a signature to a document. When I click on the shortcut next to my document to add the signature I had saved it is now blank. When I click to add a signature the entire app goes black and freezes. This is incredibly frustrating and makes paying for the program completely useless. Has anyone had this issue and found a solution? In addition, almost EVERY time I do anything with a document I get the error message below (4th photo). Any ideas why that keeps happening and why Adobe is not addressing these issues? 

I am unable to access the Menu (icon with the 3 lines) to access the layers icon.  Shift + Cmd + M does not work.  I need to access the layers icon to print out  certain size on sewing patterns.  Without this feature, i cannot print out different sizes contained in the pdf of the pattern.  I was able to do this before on the old version of Adobe reader on a very old Mac.  This is not possible on either my iPad or my new Mac.  Any ideas what i can do to solve this?  I have a screen shot but am unable to post it with this post.  Thank you. Sandra  

I am training people on how to create Digital Signatures.I use Acrobat DC Pro. They only have access to Acrobat Reader DC. When creating a signature with Reader, it does not ask them to create a password. But with my Pro version, it does ask for a password for signatures.Is there a setting I'm missing? Is this not a requirement for Reader DC digital signatures?Thanks to all.

Error message: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC could not open because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and was not decoded)

More than one year ago I posted on this forum about broken functionality to send documents by email using SMTP server configured in AR. There was some discussion and I even uploaded detailed diagnostic files, but nothing happened, and as of today (v. 2024.003.2180) it still does not work - I just tried again with the same result. If Adobe is going to fix it, which I can imagine may be the case given an obvious interest to hosting everything on Adobe cloud, then paybe it's time to retire this function altogether? Why keeping it broken for years?

As the title says, Acrobat reader is freezing. Conditions: - It happens to one user, with one specific PDF. - It happens across this user's devices, and so seems account bound.Attemps to Remediate:- Restarted PC.- Updated Windows.- Updated all drivers and firmware on device.- Repaired installation.- Uninstalled and reinstalled.- Deleted user from admin console and readded user.- Shortened filepath length.- Ran Creative Cloud Cleaner. All attempts at remediating the issue have failed thus far. What am I missing? Have I just angered the Machine Spirit?

When reading a file in Windows, the tab shows only the first few words of the name of the file; how do I see the whole name of the file?

Like refered to on the subject, I can´t copy and paste from the pdf to another app anymore.The pdf is not locked, Copy content is allowed, it is not scaned text...Tried with pdfs used in the past which previously worked, but now doesn't.Is this a bug that is going to get fixed.... or is it to have us buy the paid version ? 

Bonsoir à tous,Je viens d'installer Adobe à l'effet de signer avec un certificat électronique une formalité pour le greffe. J'ai pris un abonnement à Adobe Pro. J'essaie de suivre les instructions pour cette signature mais je ne vois pas les certificats dans "Tous les outils". Lorsque je cherche "certificats" dans la barre de recherche, aucune réponse ne sort non plus. J'ai éteint et redémarré l'application ainsi que mon ordinateur mais rien ne change. Pouvez-vous m'aider à comprendre pourquoi l'option de signature via certificats n'apparaît pas sur ma version ?Merci beaucoup.Bien à vous,Morgane

I somehow marked some text in a PDF to be redacted, and i have no idea how to undo that. I cant save the document now; Acrobat crashes every time. I do NOT want to redact any text. Help? thank you!

I have Adobe Pro DC.  I just got it (so I'm new at using it and am not very good at it yet).  I have searched and searched for an answer to this problem and have had no luck.  I didn't see anything about this in the tutorials, either.  I found out how to change the font size in the parts of the form that users don't fill in, but can't find any help on changing the font size for the fillable areas.  I downloaded a fillable form and when I enter the text in the fillable fields, it does not all fit and so it doesn't show up on screen or when I print.  I don't want to change the text box because it will mess up the appearance of the form itself and I'm trying to keep that as close to the original as possible.  I want to know how to change the size of the fillable font, which is not an option when I select "edit text..."I am using a Mac.  (I also went to the Apple site and got the keyboard shortcuts, but that wasn't much help.)
