11/21追記 本件、20.0.1アップデートにて解消いたしました。 ご迷惑おかけしました皆様には改めてお詫び申し上げます。   ------------------------------------------------ Mac環境においてInDesign 2025(20.0)を初回起動した際に、以下の階層にある「日本語などの2バイト文字」で名前を付けたPDFプリセットが消える問題を確認いたしました。 ~user/<user name>/library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings   この問題は、半角英数字の名前で作成したプリセットは消えません。また2回目以降の起動では、現在消える動作を確認しておりません。   心苦しい限りではございますが、この問題により消えたPDFプリセットは元に戻すことが出来ません。お手数ではございますが、必要なデータを再ダウンロードいただくか改めてPDFプリセットを作成くださいますようお願いいたします。 10/17追記分 InDesign 2025で日本語名を付けたPDF書き出しプリセットを作った場合、次回起動時にそのプリセットが消えることを確認いたしました。 また、該当のフォルダへ消えたプリセットを戻してもInDesign 2025では認識しないことを確認いたしました。 半角英数字などの1バイト文字へ名称の変更をしない限りInDesign 2025ではお使いいただけません。 この認識しないプリセットは、フォルダ内に残るため2024バージョン以下では認識いたします。 nDesign 2025の環境設定の再作成した場合は次回起動時は「初回起動」にあたります。再び2バイト文字のプリセットを消す動作が行われますのでご注意ください。   現在エンジニアチームを中心にバグの修復に努めております。今後の対応を今しばらくお待ちくださいませ。   問題の解決までは、大変恐縮ではございますが2024以下バージョンをご利用ください。 以前のバージョンの Creative Cloud アプリケーションのインストール

With the Acrobat Sign September 2024 Release, Adobe is raising the bar for electronic signatures by providing one of the best-in-class document viewing experiences. On top of that, Adobe is changing the way agreements are authored and sent for signature to delight its users and make Acrobat Sign even more intuitive.   Time for a change of technology  When it comes to getting an agreement filled and signed, signers have been victim to technology limitations of the market. To be specific, what signers are presented with was simply an image of the document with different form fields on an additional layer to fill in information and sign the agreement. With these limitations in document rendering, users are exposed to accessibility disadvantages in the form of pixelation when zooming in and limited support for screen readers that could not access the content of the document, but only the information included in the form fields.     As inventor of the PDF format with a strong commitment for Accessibility, Adobe is here to make a change. Starting with the September 2024 Release, Acrobat Sign will offer a new Recipient Experience that removes the image related limitations by allowing the signer to review the agreement in its native PDF form using the Modern Acrobat Viewer, the best PDF Viewer of 2024.       Find out more about the new Recipient Experience.     Requesting an e-signature has never been easier  Based on user research, Adobe developed a new user interface for Requesting e-signatures. Unlike the classic user experience, the new design leads with a document first approach, asking senders to begin by uploading the documents first. As a next step users can specify any agreement settings, such as reminders or completion deadlines, and add the intended recipients. For each recipient, users can select the preferred delivery method as email or SMS. The sender can also add the authentication method and the private message.      Acrobat Sign adopted a simpler way to specify who needs to participate in each step.   In the classic experience, you had to drag and drop recipients over each over to set a hybrid workflow.  In the new experience, if you need only a group of people to participate at a specific phase, then add a recipient group and enable the toggle. To indicate that all recipients must participate.       If you need only one person to participate out of a group of people, add a recipient group and disable the toggle to specify that not all recipients must participate, but only one. This capability was referred to as recipient group in the classic experience.    In addition, Adobe also updated the Authoring experience. The new Authoring experiences supports all the form fields and makes it easy to locate the form field you need to place. Adobe added delightful capabilities such as additional fonts, searching the document content, and selecting multiple form fields and performing changes to all of them at once. Users can now update recipients, move form fields around, or copy and paste them on another page (using keyboard shortcuts as well). The new Authoring Experience is intuitive and delightful, letting senders complete any authoring steps more effectively before sending for signature.     Find out more about the New Request Signature Experience.     Signing with a Witness electronically  Many agreements (such as tax documents, land registry, powers of attorney, transfers of assets) require that the recipient sign their agreement in the presence of a witness. With the September 2024 Release, Acrobat Sign introduces a new selectable role- “Sign with Witness” which determines the process of a "signer" associated "witness" recipient which the signer must define.    Before the signer can review the agreement, they must provide the witness's name and email address. After the signer completes their signature process, the witness receives an email requesting their attestation to the witnessing of the signature process. The witness is asked to review their name and email address before they can interact with the agreement. The sender must add a signature attestation field for the witness. As the witness is not a party to the agreement, they will not get a copy of the agreement and will not see the agreement in their Adobe Sign account.  Find out more about the new E-Witness role.     Besides these 3 key highlights of the Acrobat Sign September release, Adobe delivered many other new settings and capabilities. Read about all the new functionalities in the Acrobat Sign Release Notes.
