Question

Comment popup default size

I'm having a weird annoying issue I can't figure out.

 

Whenever i create a popup it is created at a really small cramped size where hardly any text fits (see screenshot) - i have to manually expand every time i create a popup and its anooying and time wasting.

 

If i bin my prefs it resets to the correct size so it is a setting stored in the prefs plist file somewhere but there are so many entries i cant figure out which controls this.

 

I have many settings i wish to keep, hence simply resetting ALL prefs isn't a good solution for me.

 

Thanks!

      Hi @stephenc80756698 

      Sorry for the trouble caused!!
      As you mentioned that deleting plist helps in solving the issue, so could you please share the Plist with us so that we can have a look at it.
      Thanks,

      Prashant.

      Hi there

       

      Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.

       

      Would you mind sharing the version of the Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 22.120117 (Win), 20112 (Mac) installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

       

      Also, try to repair the installation from the help menu (Win Only) and check.

       

      Please try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-default/td-p/4792082 and see if that helps. 

       

      Regards

      Architecture: x86_64

      Processor: Apple M1 Max

      Build: 22.1.20085.0

      AGM: 4.30.116

      CoolType: 6.0.3

      JP2K: 2.0.4.50016

       

      On a Mac as above so no Windows troubleshooting possible.

       

      There is definitely an entry in the .plist file that causes acrobat to do this as when i temporarily remove it, it goes back to default size. Unfortunately my .plist is 86,000 lines 😄

      Hi there

       

      Have you tried to reset the Acrobat preferences as described earlier?

       

      Also, please update the application to the recent version 22.1.20142 and reboot the computer once. Go to Help > Check for updates.

       

      You may also try to enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check.
