Questions

I would like to purchase Acrobat. There are many different versions that differ significantly in price. But the listing and description of the vesions on Adobe.com is very confusing. The following 2 features are important to me:Create fillable forms from Word files or scanned documentsExtracting and merging pagesAre these two features available in Acrobat Standard? (a cheaper subscription version than Pro) If not, then Acrobat Pro 2024 (3 years license) would be an alternative.Is Acrobat Pro 2024 (3 years) the same as Acrobat Classic (3 years)? Who can help me unravel this jungle of options?Thanks in advance!Ute

We are switching from pots lines to efax for incoming and outgoing faxes.  We're using the same MFP printers that had the pots lines, so I'm trying to set it up to automatically poll the mailbox we use to received e-faxes and automatically print them.  I've got everything working except the automatic print.  When the printer (which supports pdf's) opens the attached PDF and tries to print, it fails to match the PDF's page size (8.64 x 10.76) with the 8.5 x 11 paper in tray 1.  The only way I can get it to automatically print is to change the size of the paper in Tray 1 to be custom 8.64 x 10.76.  If it's set to a non-matching size, the print job errors until someone walks over to the printer and selects Tray 1.  Then it prints just fine.  Does anyone have a workaround for this?  We use Ricoh IM series printers.

Today I can't use Acrobat to organize my pages or combine files. What changed?This is the ERROR I'm getting today:"Something went wrongWe're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again later."

I created a fillable form in Word, with checkboxes. For example, there are several rows that have 3 checkboxes (a Yes, a No, and a Maybe). When I go to "prepare form" in Adobe, it recognizes the checkboxes as radio boxes. Is there a way that I can have Adobe recognize them as checkboxes instead? I also tried editing the word doc and using Webdings font instead to create boxes (rather than have the checkboxes from the developer tool), but Adobe didn't recognize those boxes as anything (neither as checkboxes or radioboxes). I know that I can manually add checkboxes onto the PDF form, but I have tons of checkboxes on each page --it's very tedious and ends up looking messy because some are slighly misaligned. 

Many anti-virus vendors detected this file as a malicious.Please refer to below link :https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/57ae938b20bf8eb70b2464b6bb8c6b4230ab308e2aff9b270de9930d1454b07a Is this really malicious file? or fales positive? Thanks in advance

I have checkboxes K1 add-up checkbox, K2 add-up checkbox...K20 add-up checkbox  I also have text fields formated for numbers which are K1, K2...K20.  Finally, I have text fields formated for numbers which are K1_, K2_...K20_. Numbers will be entered into K1, K2, etc.  Those numbers will copy into K1_, K2, etc.  So far, so good.  If I check the K1 add-up checkbox, I would like the number copied into K1_ to change to zero.  I am using the following custom calculation script in K1_: if (this.getField("K1 add-up checkbox").isBoxChecked(0)) {event.value = 0;} So far, this also works.  The problem is that if I check more than one checkbox, say K1 add-up checkbox and K2 add-up checkbox, the zero goes away in K2 add-up checkbox and it reverts to the number that is being copied from K2. Hopefully, I have explained this sufficiently for someone to help me with what is going.  I'm thinking it mus have something t

Hello All!I’ve developed a dynamic stamp in Acrobat that successfully generates a unique ID, prompts the user to "check boxes" aka. Textfields that are populated with an X if the respective value is input, and collects text input for fields, each via separate dialogs or prompts. However, I’m struggling to combine the text field prompts into a single multi-field dialog for a smoother user experience.First I wanted to work out only the text fields and when that works, the goal would be to also have thge "checkboxes" in the same dialog (not a must)Has anyone managed to implement this, or can offer advice? What works:1. Calculate an unique ID-number for each stamp.  A trusted function handles incrementing and saving a counter. The stamp script then reads this value each time the stamp is applied. (✓) 2. Prompt user for checking boxes. A dialog prompts the user to choose "a" or "b", and the script marks the matching checkbox aka textfield with an "X".  (✓)&nbsp

For some reason, every time I open a pdf, the comment pane now opens on the right side.  Can't find a way to make it stop.  It's very annoying.  I think it was from the most recent update.  

Hello   To remove some bugs in Acrobat Pro I followed the Adobe procedure: uninstall Acrobat and then use the AcroCleaner.It took me several hours but it didn't fix any of the concerned bugs.   When I reinstalled Acrobat Pro (64 bits) I got a message telling me that Acrobat Reader (32 bits) would be uninstalled, which was done. The problem is that now I can't reinstall Acrobat Reader, each time the installation ends on this truncated and incomplete message (attached) which seems to say that Acrobat Reader is already installed. It says : "Old/new version of Acrobat already in........" What can I do?   I'm a developer of PDF forms and I absolutely need to have Acrobat Reader to test them. Thank you for your help.  

On Acrobat standard (paid). I'm starting to think this is a VERY basic function they're locking behind a paywall.  -I make a rectangle on a document and fill it with a color. Great, works fine. I want to add text IN that rectangle. Text always ends up behind it. How do I get around this? -Second issue. I just want a text box with white background and black letters. How do I do this?  

Recently, I have been getting a very annoying "Access Denied" popup when viewing PDFs in Acrobat for Chrome. This occurs on publicly accessible PDFs, so there are no permission issues. I also do not know what triggers it. I can view a PDF without any problems for a while, and then the popup will suddenly appear and interrupt my workflow.Refreshing the page or clicking the X in the corner makes the popup disappear, allowing me to continue my work, but it remains extremely frustrating.I have a subscription to Adobe Acrobat through my employer. I have tried signing in and signing back out, clearing browser cache, etc. Is there anything else I can try?

Kann ich Acrobat DC(2015) unter Windows 11 installieren?

Bonjour, je viens de m'abonner à Acrobat DC, mais impossible de modifier un PDF. J'ai pourtant reçu confirmation de mon abonnement. Pouvez-vous m'aider ? Bien à vous, Corinne [P.I removed by Moderator]

I see options for a text field and a bunch of other options like radio buttons or date but I don't see a number option.googled and tutorials from 2+ years ago say to go to format tab in properties but this doesn's seem to exist anymore, atleast not in the PC version in 2025 Are number fields just gone? Am I blind?

We have a PDF of a book that was created with FrameMaker. We want the book to be Reader enabled for commenting so that the users can click on the pages and type their own notes. We did that and had a successful PDF, but then noticed a mistake in the setting of the initial view of the document properties where it wasn't set to open to Bookmarks and Page panels. The person who did the book is saying the Reader-enabling is preventing her from being able to just remove the security (we know the password) and fix the setting and then re-doing the enabling and final security again. Is there any reason she is having problems doing a simple Remove security and doing the needed fix? I do not know the exact version of Acrobat Pro she is using, but I'm sure the Reader enabling is still able to be done on the book. The security settings on the draft with the mistake all worked fine to be able for Reader to do the commenting.

Hi, I have just upgraded to Windows 11 and for some reason when Adobe has been uploaded it appears that I cannot use UK numerals? They all come up in what looks like arabic.  How can I change this? Thanks in advance 

I upgraded to Win 11 and reinstalled Adobe CC.  For some reason Acrobat Pro is not even offered for instillation, although it is part of my full CC package. Can anyone help me resolve this?

A few months ago I bought the lastest MS Surface with a snapdragon processor. Handwritten annotation and notation work great on PDFs in Adobe Acrobat. Because of some incompatibilities with other enterprise systems on campus we invested in a MS Surface with an Intel processor. The problem is that in Adobe Acrobat the handrwritten annotation and notations are not good. The person using the device often has to write formulas and when writing an equal sign just gets two dots. Other handwriting is often illegible as compared to the snapdragon Surface. The issue only seems to be in Acrobat, not other programs like PowerPoint and Notes that exist on the computer. I've read a similar post that mentioned going to Preferences/General and changing Touch Mode from Auto-Detect to Always but that has not made the handwriting any more legible. Looking for other setting to look at (have already adjusted the sensitivity of the Surface Pen to the lightest intensity).

I need some information regarding PDF security to prevent scraping by third-party applications. We are facing an issue where such applications are extracting customer statement data from PDFs, reformatting them, and using the information for personalized offers. This is resulting in a potential business loss for us.Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
