Hello, I have a form where I have to allow date formats of m/d/yyyy and just yyyy.  My field format is working great for that.  I found this method online for that: if (!event.value) {event.value = "mm/dd/yy"; // Default format} else {try {var date = util.scand("mm/dd/yy", event.value);event.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yy", date);} catch (e1) {try {var date2 = util.scand("yyyy", event.value);event.value = util.printd("yyyy", date2);} catch (e2) {app.alert("Invalid date format. Use mm/dd/yy or yyyy.");event.value = "";}}} I'm having problems adding validation so that the date cannot be greater than today or older than 1/1/2000,  whether it was entered as m/d/yyyy or yyyy.   Today is 5/14/25, so anything greater than that, older than 1/1/2000  or a year that doesn't fall between 2000 and 2025 should result in a message to user that date is not valid. Thanks to anyone who can steer me in the right direction. 🙂 I've been searchi

I'm noticing that when I use the Adobe PDF printer in Acrobat during a print job, some of the landscape pages are rotating to portrait.  Is there a way to keep them as landscape during the print process?

Hi all, Notebook MSI i5-8300 @2.30GHz RAM: 16 GB WIN11 x64 Home edition Adobe CC licensed AV: Bitdefender   Adobe Acrobat DC - up to date   In the last 18 months, I am experiencing an issue when I am exporting PDf to MS Word. This month I tried to uninstall Acrobat Dc and re-installed it. The error is even worse. Now, Acrobat DC is crashing when I try to export to MS Word. The names of the file and folders are disappearing. The desktop icons have a weird font. The only way I can view the names of the files and folders is to reboot the computer.   The error appears no matter what PDF file I try to export to MS Word.   All the other Adobe applications are working just fine.  

I have a CMYK PDF document that was meant to be printed on tan paper.  It turns out that it will be printed on white paper.  Could I shift the color of both the background and the text and images so the result will look like it was printed on tan?  Or is there a way to shift just the white background to tan?Thanks.

in simple terms.   How do I install the Calibri fonts in my new version of Adobe Acrobat DC?  It is substituting Minion Pro...I need to edit pdf documents.   My previous version of Adobe Acrobat 2015 had the font.  what happened?thank you!

I am unable to merge DA files, which means I will have to attach multiple separate military forms, including continuation sheets. It seems unreasonable that merging documents is not possible even if they are considered "secure" or protected. Presently, the usual methods like exporting to Word or JPEG and then converting back to PDF are ineffective. It is illogical to impose such restrictions on document merging without providing an alternative solution. Is there anyone familiar with a method to merge Army DA documents and avoid the need for individual attachments or a zip drive?

Either an error occured connecting to the system or i type one or two letters of an email address and it kicks me back to editing. Using 2015.  Pretty frustrated, I paid for this service and can't use it;

Hi,I use Adobe Acrobat's own split function to split a PDF into single-page PDFs whose file names are made up of the bookmarks of the source PDF. Each page can be accessed with its own bookmark. The bookmark 'Page_1' leads to page 1 and should be written out as a separate PDF with the file name 'Page_1.pdf'.I create the bookmarks in the PDF with the following JavaScript. After splitting, however, only a single PDF is written out. Why isn't a separate PDF written out for each page, as I specify in the settings for splitting? var root = this.bookmarkRoot; for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) { root.createChild("Page_" + (i+1), "this.pageNum=" + i, i); }  yosimo

I need proof that a file was shared in Adobe Acrobat.  Adobe Acrobat displays the receipents did not view the file, but I need documentation of the date the file was shared with the receipents. Thank you for your assistance.

Using Adobe Standard on a Win10 22H2 Enterprise PC. Starting recently, Adobe opens to a blank white screen when opening either the application or a PDF directly, and crashes back out after ~2 seconds with nothing appearing on screen.-I've uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled both Adobe and then again with Adobe & Creative Cloud for good measure with no effect.-I've uninstalled, ran Adobe's AcroCleaner, and reinstalled with no effect.-Rebooted a half dozen times to no avail.-Signed out of Creative Cloud to see if it was an account-related issue but it had no effect-I've enabled the crash dump files, started Adobe to witness it crash, then checked the crashdumps folder and I see about a dozen 12mb files that were there already... but the two new ones from after I enabled the crashdump logging are ~325mb each. I appreciate your assistance in advance.

Hallo zusammen,ich habe ein Problem mit der Farbdarstellung in Adobe Acrobat festgestellt, wenn ein PDF-Dokument über SharePoint oder die Adobe Cloud geöffnet wird.Problemstellung:Beim Öffnen eines PDF-Dokuments über SharePoint oder direkt in der Adobe Cloud werden die Farben nicht korrekt dargestellt. Während das gleiche Dokument lokal auf dem Rechner in den korrekten Farben erscheint, gibt es beim Öffnen über die Cloud-Dienste Farbabweichungen.  Ist dieses Problem bekannt, und gibt es bereits eine Lösung oder einen Workaround?Gibt es spezielle Farbeinstellungen in Adobe Acrobat, die dieses Verhalten beeinflussen könnten?Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen mit der SharePoint- oder Adobe Cloud-Integration gemacht? Danke für euer Feedback! 

Does anyone have any ideas to to resolve a problem with the Fast Web View setting changing from Yes to No after saving and reopening the PDF? This only seems to happen on large PDFs (5-10K pages, 40-70MB)These PDFs also need to be secured as well.

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro and trying to print a large image using the "Poster" print option. It successfully splits the image across multiple pages (tiles), but when I try to reprint just one specific page that was missed, the "Pages" option under "Pages to Print" is grayed out , I can only select "All".Is there any way to print only one specific tile/page from the poster layout, without printing the entire mosaic again?Thanks in advance!

How do I cancel my free 7 day trial of Acrobat 

WIN 10 64 Pro  Adobe Acrobat Pro DC .20100Unfortunately, I did receive the most recent windows update.Problem: The PDF icons on my desktop turn black.Acrobat is set to shop images in the icons and view as large icons.When logging in to windows, icons first appear as generic red/white icons, then become images.At the end of windows login, all Desktop PDF icons snap to black.Icons show images in all other folders except desktop, as well, images show in Dropbox.Is there a way to fix this? If it is the update, can it be redacted?Many thanks

On the $15/year non-profit subscriptions, what happens if an employee separates employment? Can we transfer the remaining months or change the user ID/login for that subscription?

I found out how to keep tools such as the Stamp Tool selected but this does not work for Check Boxes. Has anyone found a way to keep the Check Box tool selected?

I like the feature in Acrobat where I can upload a picture of my signature and use it to sign PDF forms using "Fill & Sign". However, I was extremely disturbed to discover that my signature can be copied and pasted into another program (i.e., Microsoft Word) and Saved as a Picture by anyone receiving one of my signed PDFs! This is really concerning. I am basically giving my signature away to anyone who wants to use it.  Is there a way I can use a signature on a PDF so that it's "baked into" the page and not be a separate, copy-able layer? The only way I know is to workaround I've been able to come up with is print the form, physically sign it, scan that signed page, then insert the page into the final PDF. However, that's a lot of steps. Please let your users know that it is very dangerous to add a signature using Fill & Sign, because anyone can copy & paste their signatures and use it for whatever purposes they see fit.

Hi Everyone,I'm having a "This font can't be used in editing" error when using Arial in PDF editing. The document I'm editing was created by me, and used Arial previously. Now, it won't let me use it. I'm using the 2015 release of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (cloud). Super annoying, I need to make some changes on the file (work related) and can't since the font wont work. Another font isn't suitable as Arial is needed for consistency. Any advice?ThanksKatherine

Hello, I have installed the latest version of Acrobat from the CC. After i tried to run the Preflight, it says its installing preflight, so i waited. After some time i restarted the acrobat and it said, that it has finished installing Preflight.So i ran it, but didnt load any presets into it. (not even the default ones) ... so i decided to import the kfp files into it manually - some did work, some didnt.The one i desperately need is the "convert fonts to outlines" and i believe this one is in the Acro2015.kfp - but i cannot import it "Unable to import Preflight profile file Acro2015.kfp"...I am using Windows 11 Pro. I tried reinstalling acrobat but the behaviour was the same. Installed also the Optional update 22.003.20263, didnt fix the problem. 

I have a 1000 page PDF document and will be splitting every 2 pages. I will end up with 500 different documents that needs to be renamed to a specific pdf title Ex. Employee_1.pdfEmployee_2.pdfEmployee_3.pdf..Employee_500.pdf Preferably, I'd like the name of the document be reference off a text that will be subtly shown at the bottom corner of the 2nd page. Is there a way where the system is able pull off the text from the PDF and use that text reference and save it as the PDF document name?

What would I enter in the Custom Format Script field if I want a number to appear as a percentage with 2 decimal places? So, for example, if 8 is written in the field, it shows up as 8.00%. I found this: if (event.value) event.value+="%";  which shows 8 as 8%, but what do I couple it with to show 8.00%?  Thanks,Sarah 

It would be very helpful if Adobe would address this issue with being able to set the zoom level of the hyperlinks within the pdf document to inherit zoom as a default setting. As explained by others (Set Default Link Actions (zoom especially) – Share your feedback on Acrobat DC (uservoice.com) it is a real pain to have to change all the hyperlinks in the document one at a time to accomplish a "inherit zoom" setting in a large pdf document that can have hundreds of hyperlinks. Using inherit zoom is a document standard that is required in many industries, so it is not just a preference that I personally prefer. I must use inherit zoom hyperlinks in documents submitted to the FDA. I have also read in other blogs that Legal documents submitted to courts must be filed using inherit zoom. I hope Adobe program engineers will recognize that there is a great need to have this functionality in their program. Adobe currently has not addressed (implemented) all of ms.TechWriters comments abo

I regularly send documents out to be signed and then witnessed by separate individuals.  Adobe sends this to signatory one and when the person signs the document its automatically passed to signatory 2 and on completion the finished version is completed and filed by Adobe.  Until recently this worked seamlessly but now I am not getting a copy of the completed document and there is no record of it being filed.  I've tested it twice and it's behaving as if it's complete but no record is retiring to my Adobe account.  Grateful for advice. I've contacted the Helpdesk who could not provide any advice.  Thank you
