When you open the form in Acrobat, before you do anything, save the file on your computer first, and then try adding the details.
Also, if possible and if the form is publicly available, give us the link, and we will review the form.
Thank you for your continued support and patience.

Thank you for following up. You’re absolutely right—while the Polygon Line tool is often used for quick estimation, the appearance of those lines (especially arrowheads) should still offer a cleaner, consistent look.
If visual clarity is important:
You could use the Single Line tool repeatedly for each segment (though admittedly less convenient).
Alternatively, after drawing the polygon, you can right-click > Properties, and change the line end style to “None” (if available).
If that option is missing, it may be a UI inconsistency worth reporting as a feature request.
Your feedback is very valid, and we encourage you to submit this directly through Acrobat User Voice: https://acrobat.uservoice.com/forums/590923-acrobat-for-windows-and-mac. The team regularly reviews usability suggestions, especially for markup and measurement workflows.

When you send the form using e-signature, do you see the checkboxes filled in the preview form. Also, when you create a form, ensure you have
"Prepare form for e-signing selected, that way the fields are compatible with e-signature services.
Let us know how it works at your end.

Hi @casual_athlete5721,
Thanks for your question! This is a great use case, and we understand the need for converting from A4 to Letter, especially in batch workflows. That said, there are a few important limitations to keep in mind:
What Acrobat Can and Can’t Do:
Acrobat Pro allows you to change page size via Print to Adobe PDF (using Letter size as target), or by using Preflight > Fixups > Scale Pages, but:
These methods will scale the content rather than reflow or adapt it.
Form fields, annotations, or text might not reposition or resize accurately.
Acrobat does not support true layout reflow for page resizing like a word processor or layout app (e.g., InDesign) would.
Workarounds You Can Try:
1. Preflight Fixup (Acrobat Pro)
You can batch-scale pages using:
Tools > Print Production > Preflight
Select “Scale pages to a specific size” fixup (Letter: 8.5 x 11 in)
Apply to one or multiple files using a batch profile.
Note: This method scales visual content only, not form fields or tags.
2. Print to Adobe PDF with Letter Paper Size
File > Print > Printer: Adobe PDF
Paper Size: Letter
Print Range: All
Scale: Fit to Printable Area
This essentially generates a flattened copy at Letter size.
Note: This will not preserve interactivity (form fields, layers, bookmarks, etc.
For Layout-Preserving Resizing:
If maintaining layout precision is critical, you may want to:
Convert PDF pages to an editable format (e.g., Word or InDesign), adjust the layout, and re-export
Let us know your exact goal — is it for printing, compliance, or digital distribution? That’ll help us recommend the best approach for your workflow.

Hi @christine_1074,
Thanks for reaching out. What editing program are you talking about? If you are talking about an Adobe application, let's say Adobe Acrobat. It is better to install a fresh copy rather restore application from the backup, backed up application will not work because of licensing restrictions.
Let us know if you have further question and please share more details

Hi @andreaf1540630,
Thanks for sharing this issue — we understand how frustrating it can be when a Guided Action fails to complete properly, especially when it comes to saving output.
To help investigate and assist you more effectively, could you please clarify a few details?
To understand the behavior better:
Are you using Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader?
Was the Guided Action created using the Action Wizard, or was it provided by someone else?
Does the issue occur with all PDFs, or only certain ones?
Are you seeing any error messages or prompts during or after the action runs?
Suggested Checks:
Try editing the Guided Action in Action Wizard and verifying the “Save” step—ensure the path is valid and accessible.
Check your folder permissions (especially on macOS or in enterprise environments).
Temporarily disable Protected Mode (Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)) and test again — just to isolate the issue.
About Suppressing Save Prompts with
While Acrobat JavaScript allows some automation, including saving files without user interaction, there are important security restrictions:
What’s Possible:
To trigger saves, you can use this.saveAs() or this.saveAs("path/filename.pdf").
Prompts can be suppressed if:
The script is trusted (i.e., run from a folder-level script or certified context)
The save location is predefined and permitted (e.g., whitelisted in Enhanced Security settings)
Acrobat is in full version (Pro) — Reader limits many of these operations
Restrictions:
Acrobat Reader cannot silently save files via script unless it’s part of a certified workflow, like using digital IDs, trusted functions, or approved plugins
Security prompts cannot be suppressed entirely in untrusted scripts for user safety
What You Can Try:
Create a folder-level trusted function in Acrobat’s JavaScript folder that includes your saveAs call. This runs in a privileged context.
Ensure the Action Wizard step uses “Save” with predefined output path if possible.
If using Acrobat Pro, test with:
this.saveAs("/C/temp/Output.pdf");
Under Preferences > Security (Enhanced), you may need to add the output folder as a privileged location.

Sorry to hear that the app is still crashing, @guillermohcastro. Is this crashing happening with all the PDF forms or a few? If the files are located on a Network or Cloud drive, please copy them locally on the machine and try again. Lastly, if possible, please share a sample PDF form and a video of your workflow. In the meantime I am discussing this issue internally with the engineering.

Hi @Kris5E2F,
Sorry for the troubled experience.
There was a known issue yesterday related to the app crashing on iOS devices, which was addressed yesterday. What we can try is:
1. Ensure the app is updated.
2. Clear the app from the background and launch it again.
If the issue happens again. Let us know the following details:
1. OS version number.
2. App version number.
3. Video of what is happening.
4. Device name and model number.
Let us know how it works either way.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out. Printing borderless (i.e., with no margins) for posters in Acrobat can be tricky, and you’re absolutely right — this outcome depends on several factors working together. I am not here to provide an exact solution, as it depends on a number of factors.
Here’s what to consider:
1. Printer Capability
Not all printers support borderless printing, especially for large-format or poster sizes.
Even if the file has no margins, most standard office printers impose minimum hardware margins.
Check your printer’s specs and driver settings for a “borderless” or “edge-to-edge” option.
2. Acrobat Print Settings
Acrobat itself doesn’t “force” a no-margin print — it respects what the printer driver allows.
When printing, uncheck “Fit” or “Shrink oversized pages” and use “Actual Size” to avoid scaling that might introduce whitespace.
Under “Poster” settings, set the tile scale to 100% and verify if Acrobat is adding any “Overlap” or “Cut Marks.” Reduce or remove these if not needed.
3. PDF Document Setup
Ensure the original PDF has:
No white margins in the page content
Correct TrimBox/BleedBox settings (if exported from InDesign or Illustrator)
Flattened content (if layers or transparency might interfere with edge rendering)
General Troubleshooting Tips:
Try printing to PDF first using the Poster settings and checking the tile layout. Are the margins added there or only when passed to the physical printer?
Export the file from a layout tool with proper bleed settings (e.g., InDesign with bleed set to 0 and trim area matching the artwork).
If your printer supports it, in the print dialog, select borderless paper sizes (such as A4 or A3 Borderless).

Hi @jeffrey_7364,
Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the delay.
Current Functionality:
In Adobe Acrobat, the Measuring tool’s Polygon Line is designed primarily for visual estimation rather than detailed engineering precision. As of now:
Each segment is measured individually during drawing, but there is no property dialog to edit or numerically adjust individual line segments or angles after placement.
The measurement values shown are based on the current document scale and are stored as annotation metadata, but not as modifiable geometric properties.
Workarounds:
Alternatively, use Acrobat’s single-line measurement tool for precise linear values one segment at a time.
Feature Insight:
We understand this could be useful for architecture, construction, or technical reviews. If you’d like to see this improved, we encourage you to submit feedback via Help > Send Feedback in Acrobat—our product teams monitor these closely.

Hi @MP_Company,
Sorry for the troubled experience. Yesterday's crash of the app is not related to the file disappearance. The crash was due to online services. If you have uninstalled the app, it clears the Acrobat folders from the device. If the files were uploaded to the cloud drive, they will be intact.
Let us know if you have further questions.

Hi @Asterixx, Thank you for this detailed question, and sorry for the delayed response. You’re raising an important point about how different PDF/X standards and Preflight profiles affect both compliance and output fidelity.
Clarifying the Differences: PDF/X-1a:2001 vs. 2003
Both versions are functionally very similar, but PDF/X-1a:2003 adds clarifications and minor improvements around metadata, color handling, and output intent definitions.
From a preflight and validation perspective, differences may appear more prominently depending on:
The source application used to create the file (e.g., InDesign, Illustrator, a RIP, or a third-party plugin)
The profile used during preflight in Acrobat (e.g., GWG, custom preflight profiles)
Rendering intentions in the final print pipeline
How Acrobat Preflight Handles This:
Adobe Acrobat’s Preflight tool supports a variety of PDF/X standards, including both 2001 and 2003 flavors. The validation behavior may vary based on:
Whether you’re using ISO-standard preflight libraries or custom vendor profiles
Specific color profiles or font embedding rules in your file
Differences in how the file was tagged and flattened
To Help You Further, Could You Please Confirm:
Which source tool is used to create/export the PDF?
Are you using Acrobat’s default preflight profiles, or third-party ones (e.g., Ghent Workgroup, Enfocus)?
Do you require compliance for press output, archiving, or something else (e.g., a publisher requirement)?
Is the discrepancy occurring during validation or output (e.g., print or RIP behavior)?
Could you share an anonymized version of the PDF file or profile if possible?
Let us know, and we’d be happy to dig deeper with you. ~Tariq
