Hey ☺️I'm desparately trying to figure out how to insert an "Invisible Rectangle" using Acrobat Pro (subscription).  All searches suggest I should find a "more" option under the "add content" menu.  I don't.  I only have "text" and "image".  I did manage to find an "add link" option when I highlight text,  however this only allows me to convert text to a hyper link (either to a webpage or to a page within the file), and does not offer the "invisible Rectangle" option.  I wouldn't mind using the hyperlink option, except that it is not compatible with the foreign language text I am trying to link and turns it into gibberish once I convert the text to a hyper link.   Please help?

I just updated to OS Catalina and the latest version of Acrobat Pro DC and InDesign. I was previously using Sierra. I've never had crash issues in Acrobat Pro DC until this update, but it seems I only have this crash problem while working in PDFs exported from an InDesign 15.0.2 doc provided to me from another designer. The crashes are specific, too. They only happen while working in the ORDER tab for Accessibility. I try moving items up or down in the list and it crashes Acrobat. I can open other PDF files and reorder items with no crashing. Acrobat has always been finicky when it comes to making PDFs read in a particular order for Accessibility, but I've not had crashes before now. Any ideas of how to remedy this?

I need a security comparison of the following: Scenario 1 - Using Adobe Reader I add a signature to a document.  The document does not have any fields and is not an electronic form. Scenario 2 - Someone sends me an electronic form created using Adobe Pro. I click the signature field and sign it. Does the signature in scenario one have the same digital information as the signature in scenario two?  What are the advantages of scenario 2 type signature over someone just adding their signature using Reader? And finally, if someone adds their signature to a pdf document using Reader, does the file automatically lock down so that it can't be altered like it does with an elctronic form? Background:We have many documents that only require a signature and a date.  We need to know what the drawbacks are of not creating an electronic form with a digital signature field and just letting the recipient use Adobe reader to sign. 

I was given an  online Acrobat Pro license from my employer (See attached photo).  Using the email sent from Adobe, I downloaded the Acrobat Pro 64 bit software and sucesfully installed it.  I launch the program, sign into my work Microsoft Profile but when the Adobe screen opens I get propmted to buy the software or start a free trial.  There is not option to validate the bulk license or to close the pop-up without closing the entire program. How do I fix this? 

Hi,I can no longer see the option to add a password to pdf before sending for signature with Adobe Sign. You normally add this when setting up the PDF for signature - that option has gone. This is not the same as password-protecting a PDF - it's something that is done as part of the process of sending it for signature.It is usually under the Options section when preparing the PDF for signature, but there is no longer an Options section. This functionality was there 2 months ago.Could you please advise?

I am having an issue in an enterprise environment where the account that applied MIP labels is no longer around and now people are unable to open the files the labels are applied to. The label requires security group membership which does still exist, it is just the document owner account that was deleted.  Is there a way to bypass or fix this issue since the label controls are based on the security group membership or are these files going to be locked forever since the labelling account is gone? 

As you can see, the black lines are after redacting and accepting changes.  We tried doing it again on the original file, but we encounter the same issue.

I have an editable PDF. I copy the text but there is nothing to let me paste it. No button, nothing on right click. Nothing.

Hello,The name in our send from address recipients see in their confirmation email is incorrect when using Adobe Acrobat Sign, how can I edit this field?

Over the last month or so nearly all PDF's open with the menu bar above the top of the screen so menus are inaccessible and the window can not be moved without resorting to keyboard. Very frustrating.

Hi, I’m working with a pdf form, the first page is an input page with fields for various info like Employee Name, Title,  Telephone Number, and Cell Phone Number. The second page is a business card with the information entered from the first page. On the second page, I have a text field named Employee Block which combines the employee name, title, telephone number, FAX number, cell phone number and email address. The telephone and FAX number fields are drop-downs with numbers to choose from, (in this format: (xxx) xxx-xxxx), the cell phone number field is completed by the user. The Format properties of the CellPhone field is set to Special under the Select formatting category and Phone Number is chosen for Special Options so when the user types in the number in the CellPhone field it is formatted as (xxx) xxx-xxxx. However, the cell phone number shows as 10 numbers all together, no () and no – in the Employee Block field. I need assistance in the coding that wo

We're experiencing significant issues with the Adobe E-sign feature.We've used it without any problems for over four years, but over the past year, the issues have escalated from being merely annoying to rendering the feature unusable.Initially, we encountered problems with the application, but we managed to complete drafts and send them for signatures using the online version.Now, even the online function has become unusable. Whenever we try to access the "Request e-signature" tool, it simply doesn't respond.We've taken several steps to resolve this:- Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro- Cleared the cache for the online portal- Verified that the client license is active- Tried multiple devices on both our network and on 4G/5GDespite these efforts, the issue persists across all platforms.I've seen numerous discussions suggesting reliance on the online portal, but should a product this expensive be so unreliable?

How do I get rid of the vertical side bar where 'comment' and 'fill and sign' are shown, so I don't have to click the arrow to hide, everytime I click on a new page of a pdf document?

Hi, I have multipage PDF with both portrait and landscape orientation pages, and little dimensions difference. So I use the "organize" tool to put them all in portrait mode; then I use the "define page zone" too resize them all to 214x301mm. Well, the landscape pages appears correctly in portrait, but the size is incorrect and when I try individually to modify, it's not working, the page remains landscape.I save my PDF, and open it in illustrator : actually all the landscape pages are still here, no rotation!please help!

I have a PDF document created by GPL Ghostscript 9.18 and when I use the convert feature to convert to Excel or Word I get an empty document, another PDF created by Microsoft XP works fine. Also if I try to Copy/ Capst from the Ghostscript PDF i get wierd characters while with the Microsoft PDF it works fine. Only work around I found was to print the PDF as a PDF file but then all the data gets bunched into a single celle when I convert to Excel. any suggestions? 

Hi everyone,Is there a way to keep the Tools pane minimized by default when opening PDF files in Adobe Acrobat (Reader or Pro)? Every time I open a new document, the right-hand Tools panel is fully expanded and takes up a large portion of the screen. I have to manually minimize it each time, which becomes frustrating when working with multiple documents.I've looked through the preferences but haven't found an option that controls this behavior. Ideally, I’d like Acrobat to remember my last layout or allow me to set the Tools pane to stay minimized unless I open it manually.Has anyone found a workaround or setting for this? Any registry edits, scripts, or plugin suggestions would also be appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Good morning, all. I have wrestled with this error for months. I have a macBook M1 Max running the new Sequoia 15, although this problem surfaced before I moved off Sonoma. So, I don't think it has anything to do with the operating system. (NOTE: I can say, however, that my Windows PC does not have the issue I am about to describe.) Anyway, when I go here ... ... and then try to click any of these ... I get this ... I have tried everything: the macBook "cleaner" tool, resetting Creative Cloud, uninstalling/reinstalling Creative Cloud, uninstalling/reinstalling Acrobat, and even wiping out my entire macBook and starting over from scratch. I also called Apple Support. They went through an extended call with me, tried a number of solutions—including an examination of all the privacy and security settings that are usually in play whenever non-Apple software tangles with an Apple device ... and none of it worked. They declared it an "Adobe issue." I h

I tried to set up a form with a submit button that would attach the PDF format of the form to the email. All tutorials are showing 4 options in the Submit Form Selections Screen whereas I get only three options to choose from. Here is the screenshot:I read somewhere that I need to enable Adobe Reader Extended Rights but you can do that AFTER you set up the SUBMIT button and you can't make any modifications after that. Can someone help me with this?
