hi, I'm using XFDF from decades and with the last relase of Acroread 21.007 we have a trouble to open the file from 'windows launch document'.If I start Acrord32 and request Open a XFDF file, it works correctly.If I start a fulle command Acrord32 'filename.xfdf', it works perfectlybut If I dbl-click a XFDF file from  windows explorer.exe  / desktop or if I 'start by document' , windows start a 'installation phase of Acroread DC' then 20 secondes later  acrobat open my file.       I suppose there is something to declare under windows 'extension association system' but what !!  if someone can helpthanks by advance.manu 

I have a user who receives read only flash drives from the government.  She is unable to read the files and gets the error that the file is not a supported type (.PDF, so not that) or has been damaged. The files are not damaged.  Not only can I open them perfectly well on this computer using Chrome (Acrobat plugin) and Edge, but when logging in as a different user, the files opened fine in Acrobat Reader DC twice before they started displaying the same error message for that computer user as well. Moreover, if I copy the files to the local drive, they will open in Acrobat Reader DC with no 'repair' or other changes.  It is only if Acrobat Reader DC tries to read the files directly from the r/o flash drive that I get the error.  And finally, I know the files are good because I take them to other computers and they open from the flash drive without error in Acrobat Reader.  It makes absolutely no sense to say the files are damaged or the wrong file

Hyperlinks in a pdf created by me in Adobe Acrobat on a PC do not show when the pdf file is opened in Acrobat reader on my Samsung Galaxy S7 tablet or on my mobile phone. Are hyperlinks supported on mobile applications using Android. If so. what do I need to do to activate them. Thanks.

I have a thermal printer (for 4 X 6 labels) and an inkjet printer (for 8.5 X 11 labels) both hooked up to the same iMac. Is there a way to have 4 X 6 automatically be printed when I select the Thermal printer, and 8.5 X 11 paper be printed when I select the inkjet printer. I own an e-commerce company, and we need to print a 4 X 6 shipping label, and a 8.5 X 11 packing slip with every order. It is so tedious to go in to Page Setup and change the page size every time.  Thank you in advance.

I am getting a required sign in when launching PDFs from the net or files. If I open Adobe Reader and go to File Open document it eliminates the sign on...but this defeats the efficiency of clicking on a file type. Here is the second window I see. I do not want to license any software or try any software at the moment. I just need to use Reader accordingly. I have read several proposals and none of them seem to work.   

I configured e-signature in Acrobat, when I start my system after proper shutting down, everytime I have to configure the signature again to sign the document. Please help.

Hi,We are a company that uses 8 licenses of Adobe DC Pro, and after the last update, we can't make use of the software as we were before.We use it for PDF merges and splits mostly, but it seems that the RAM fills up pretty quick and it's exporting mainly blank pages as the merge carries on. Is there an update with regards to finding a solution yet? Also, what's the department from where I can discuss license discounts on the back of this fiasco? Thanks 

When I open the Adobe Reader, it showws "Access Denied" and I can't sign in my account. But when I close the window, I can use the software as usual.Is it a bug or something wrong with my account? I have reinstalled Adobe several times but that didn't work.

Hi, how can i disable the full screen mode when i open a pdf file with adobe acrobat reader dc ?

I am unable to add new tools to my 'quick tools' toolbar in adobe reader - I've seen guides online saying there is an option to "customize quick tools" when clicking on the blank space in the top right of the toolbar, but this doesn't show for me. I want to add the text box function to this top ribbon, is there a way I can do this? Many thanksGabriel

After the automatic update pf Acrobat Reader DC to version 2100720091 on the 14th of September the applicatrion keeps crasing contiunously. It just stays runningv for less than 20 seconds with or without pdf files open. I have reinstalled the application but that has not resolved the issue. The automatic reporting system of Adobe does not provide any solution.Does anyone know how can I install an older version of acrobat until the issue is resolved, since if I try to install a previous version the installer does not let me proceed, since it states that a newer version of Acrobat reader is installed in the system. Thanks in advance.

I'm installing Adobe Acrobat reader in an enterprise environment under Windows 10 20H2 (all security updates present).  When it finishes installation, and I run it for the first time, it opens up fine and I can open a PDF.   When I close it, it appears to want to run something else that requires admin elevation.  The only unique clue I have is that it gives me this:   ac76ba86-1033-1033-7760- bc150114ea700s   as the name of an executable.  If I deny administrator privileges to it, then I'm properly back on my desktop.  If I give it privileges, I'm properly back on my desktop, and it *appears* to not run again.   What is this, and can I turn it off, or is it one time only?   Charlie   You need to ask program questions in the forum for the program you are usingTo ask in the forum for your program please start at https://community.adobe.com/Moving from Using the Community (which is about the forums) to the correct forum...

Hi The attached pdf doc was created by myself without any password protection. When I opened the pdf with adobe acrobat 9 pro, the text editor as highlighted was diabled. appreciate if anyone can advise how i can enable the feature. Thank you.

When I run Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in "native OS mode" on my Macbook Pro with an M1 processor (Mac OS Big Sur 11.6) I am not able to open PDF files that are password protected. If I disable (uncheck) " Enable native OS moded for optimal performance", quit Acrobat Reader and reopen it I am able to open the password protected PDF file.Anyone else running into this issue?

Hello,Is it possible to hide the section "always open PDF files in Acrobat Reader" on the Home tab on the welcome page.I think I have gone through the settings that seem to have to do with this but to no avail. In any case, I have managed to hide everything else but not this.Take care// Martin

I did forget a PDF File Password. Can I retrieve the file password ?

Bonjour à vous, J'ai sur mon poste (Windows10) adobe Reader version 2021.007.20091 et lorsque je souhaite ouvrir des PDF la fenêtre de selection de logiciel s'ouvre en me demandant "Comment voulez-vous ouvrir ce fichier personnel"J'ai beaux avoir mis Adobe Reader par défaut et cocher "Toujours utiliser cette application pour ouvrir les fichiers .pdf" elle considère les pdf que je reçois pas mail comme fichier personnel.J'ai réinstallé le logiciel sans succès et je ne vois pas pourquoi ça me fait ça. Il me le demande sur tous les fichiers et à chaque fois. Auriez-vous une idée d'où ça viendrait et de comment résoudre définitivement ça? 

Hi! I just got a new Macbook for work and installed all of my Adobe Creative Cloud software. I am an admin on my computer and have been able to successfully open all programs, except for Adobe Acrobat DC. I installed it and clicked the icon to launch and immediately got an error saying "Adobe Acrobat DC quit unexpectedly". It does this every time I try starting the application. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, I have tried shutting down my computer completely and re-launching the application and no luck. I'm still getting the same error. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? I've seen some posts to the same effect, but they were pertaining to Windows users, not macOS. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

We had Adobe Reader working fine for a long time on the RD server and last week one user wanted to edit files, so I activated a license for them and since then, it upgraded Adobe Reader to Adobe DC Standard. All other users that don't require the upgraded version is required to sign in, so they can't use Adobe Reader. After signing the user out and uninstalling Adobe DC Standard and installing Adobe Reader again, all the users can use Adobe again, but as soon as the user that had the license, open Adobe Reader, it automatically upgrades to Adobe DC Standard. So that causes all the users to have to sign in but they can't even if they had an account, it keeps asking is they want a 7 days trial, they don't require to edit only open pdf's. I used the AdobeCleaner program and it didn't make any differnce.I have cleared out some Registry files, but doesn't seem to have helped. Is there a way to fix this for good. Adobe DC Reader 21.007.20091Windows Server 2019 RD

I was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice on catching design inconsistencies in large PDF documents. For example, let's say I'm reviewing a 50 page PDF document that has 20 introduction sections that are supposed to be formatted identically. Other than printing out the entire document to see all of those sections side by side, or scrolling back and forth to compare each section with each other, is there a better method to do this? The text isn't necessarily identical, so I'm not able to flag the same word/words throughout the document.  Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

HII have a user unable to save PDF files to our server, User is running Windows 7 64bit, DC, is able to save word etc to the same file path, did question the length of the location and file name as Microsoft has a limit.This has not been affected as can save other file types in the same folder.Any ideas??Thanks
