Questions

I haven't revisited this topic in a while, but here goes. Is it possible to install Adobe Reader on a RDS server and have it function correctly for the end users?  I tried to do this a couple of years ago and Adobe would not function correctly and I had to uninstall it. I would much rather have it installed and working as the default PDF reader instead of Edge. If there is a step-by-step document, I would apprectiate it. Thanks in advance.Jeff

Video attched. When I try to calculate a value for a pdf field, it won't accept anything. Not picking fields for basic calculations, simple or custom javascript code. Tried on 2 different computers and confirmed I'm updated to latest version.

I am trying to calculate sum based on a drop down on a page generated from a template , can someone help function doFoodTotal(){var aNameParts = event.targetName.split(".");var cPostFix = aNameParts.pop();var cPage = aNameParts.shift();if(/^P\d/.test(cPage)){var fSum = this.getField(cPage + ".Additional.Total.").getArray();var totalF = 0;for (i = 0; i < fSum.length; i++)if(this.getField(cPage + ".Additional.Category." + i).valueAsString == "Food"){totalF += fSum[i].value;event.value = totalF;}elseevent.value = 0;}}

Hi. Here is the problem. I have Acrobat Pro. I have prepared a form with required signature. When I send that form to the customers with iPhones, they fill in the form and send it back to me, and the form is still editable. The costomers say that the form does not request signature. However, if I send the form to Windows users, they fill it in, put signatures, and the form becomes ineditable. How to fix the issue on iPhones? Please advise.

Hi everyone,I’ve been working with a lot of scanned documents and exporting them as PDFs using Acrobat Pro, but I’m running into issues with file sizes being way too large for easy sharing or archiving.I’ve tried the “Reduce File Size” option and even optimized some settings manually, but I’m still not getting the results I need—either the file is still too large or the quality drops too much.Does anyone have a go-to method or best practices for compressing PDFs effectively in Acrobat Pro? Are there specific settings or techniques that balance size and quality well?Appreciate any advice or tips—thanks in advance!Best regards

 I just saved a PDF file and everything was fine, but when I went back to reopen it in Photoshop I got the message "Couldn't open because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." I'm running the latest version and no other PDF files are giving me this issue. Now the preview shows warping and lines on the document. I need to edit this thing but its unuseable. What on earth happened? I'm working on a Mac on a shared server that causes many issues, but this one's a first. 

Has a general Community email policy change been made lately? For a reason I have not been able to identify, in the last 3 days I've become bombarded with emails of Community discussions that I have not been a part of or shown and interest in. Every time I look at my inbox I find another 20 Community emails.

As we are sending out contracts for signature, I would like to remove a form field that Adobe insists on installing.  It insists on installing an esignature form field at the bottom of a our contract page.  The contract already has a signature field applied.  It will not allow the contract to send unless this form field is installed(twice).  Just wondering how to edit this second automatic field out before sending.

When I use Save As, or have multiple PDF's open, this is what happens ... I copy the info behind the black bar; it's the file path/address.  I've tried everything I can think of -- turning of "New UI," unchecking Show quick actions on Text selections, etc.  It happens when I work remotely or locally, so it's not the monitor.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   

I would like to create photo reports from the job site by simply editing an Adobe Reader form on my phone and capturing the images using my phone's camera. Is this possible with Acrobat DC? I haven't been able to make it function. Please help 🙂

I have a fillable PDF form with 2 boxes that calculate the value of a selection of other data fields.  However, when I go to "Request E-Signatures", Adobe automatically changes the format from "Number" to "Text" on these 2 boxes, which results in an error.  I am able to change these back to Numbers and the formulas work fine, but I want Adobe to leave them as Numbers to start with. Adobe does NOT change the format of other data fields that are formatted to be Numbers.  It's only the 2 fields that include a calculation. Any idea how to fix this?

With the hyperlink tool in Adobe Acrobat one can simply add hyperlinks to particular parts of a document but all the links it creates are rectangular.Is it possible to create non-rectangular links?If so, how?

I have double checked to make sure I assigned e-signatures to specify signers BEFORE submitting the agreement. Was told from one of the signers recieved to sign as usual but this time asked to sign in someone's spot too. That was not supposed to happen. How do I fix that without cancelling the agreement?

Dear Adobe Support Team, I’m reaching out for assistance with an issue I'm experiencing while using Adobe Acrobat Pro's e-signature feature. I intended to send three separate documents for e-signature to a single recipient. To do this, I used the Bulk Signature option, uploaded all three documents, and sent them for signing. The recipient was able to sign successfully, and I received a signed copy via email. However, the signed output is a single merged document, whereas I need each of the three documents returned as separate signed files. Could you please guide me on the correct process to achieve this? Is there a different workflow or setting I should be using? Looking forward to your support.

I'd like to have an attachment deleted from a thread of mine since it contains some sensitive information. Who do I contact? Regards,

I have send a document to sign to a group of people. All but two of them have signed the document. The two have not received the document, nor can they sign it after I send it again due to the password protection. There also seems to be no way to remove the password protection. What can I do?

No matter what file I try to print, I see this:Followed by:  And it happens no matter which pages I choose to print: Acrobat failing to print is like McDonald's running out of cheeseburgers.  Unbelievable.    

In the 'remarks' window:Properties --> General --> selecting 'making properties standard' does not work?

The Acrobat PDF reader has become much slower in the last couple of years, especially when you open a large drawing or document. When you compare it to other programs or the normal browser, Acrobat is really slow. Is this because of the large number of features offered? or is there something in the settings I can do to make it faster?A suggestion would be maybe create another program to read drawings and design submissions.Note: I have a powerful machine, so I do not think it is a hardware issue. Also, I like the offered features.

Its been reported in our organization by Governmet Auditor, We do have vulnerability in our adobe product however we have updated Ato the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader v2025.1.20432.0 is still using vulnerable openssl library v3.0.14, however the new v3.0.16 is available. I am wondering if there is a planned fix for updating the openssl library from Adobe in order to mitigate vulnerabilities related to openssl library? Thanks in advance.

My eyes are sensible and i would like to modify all of my PDF with GREY background and Orange text, i figured out for the background but for the text i have to do all of text box separetly , is there something faster to convert all of the text to orange ?

Hello,  In Adobe Acrobat desktop version I am unable to 'drag and drop' documents using the 'Combine File' tool for any document attachments in Outlook. I am however able to drag and drop the email itself which has the text of the email, but the attachments no matter the format (e.g. PDF, Excel, Word, Powerpoint) will not attach. It doesn't look to be any error so when you're dragging across the item, the expected icon appears to indicate there is no error, however when you drop the item nothing ever appears. I am wondering if this is some sort of preference setting or security setting that is preventing the document being attached. I can open the documents absolutely fine and combine 'all open documents' absolutely fine (if it's a PDF) however this drag and drop functionality is quite important for how we use this tool, especially for other document types to a PDF. It's not an option for us to save and upload in combine file due to the volume we process. &nbsp

Acrobat makes my user of Apple 'Pages' complicated - too many features/choices

I've searched previous posts and not found anything useful, logical or coherent that can make any sense of the issue - and before anyone chimes in with the "PDF's aren't meant to be edited this way" hokum, first answer the question of why the text box function exists in the first place, or check boxes, or any form tools at all for that matter.I have tried every trick recommended on this forum and elsewhere imaginable, and unimaginable - short of making each text box an image file.Is there a work-around or a legitimate and actual fix for the incessant merging of text fields within a form during the form creation process?
