Hello,Is there a way to password protect a batch of pdfs with different passwords? For example, PDF A will have a different password to PDF B. Instead of password protecting one by one, i would like to apply the passwords to all pdfs in one attempt. Thanks

I'd like to make some text a strikethrough, but is there a way to do it without the popup menu? I'd rather have a button somewhere, I tried opening the Comments panel but see no strikethrough option 

I'm using AdobePDF Library 22.3.39 version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)I prepare forms frequently and started having an issue today.  When I add a text box in Prepare Form, I cannot move or change the size of the box.  I'm usually able to drag the box where it needs to go and be able to resize it. I checked in properties and nothing is locked.  When I try to move the little arrow shows up like it will allow me to move, but nothing.  If I try to resize, the resize icon will appear but won't allow me to resize the box.Until someone can help me, I'm using the Position tab in Text Field Properties box.

Running into an issue with all of our users having this pop up and freezing their Adobe Pro, they have to exit out of Adobe via Task Manager to allow processes to continue. I did find a workaround for this by disabling protected mode (Edit>Preferences>Security (Enhanced)) but was wondering if there was a better way to handle this as we have quite a bit of users running into the same issue?Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi all,  Disclaimer upfront, I am a novice at JavaScript.  I've tried reusing some that has worked for me in past scenarios, and i've searched the internet extensively and just cannot get an answer.  Would appreciate some help!  In concept, this seems like such a simple problem, so I'm frustrated I can't get it working.  I have a table with a lot of form fields.  Each row is a line item.  Some rows only have a member price and some rows have a member and non-member price.  Then there is a quantity field for the user to enter data.  And a total field.  The total field is working beautifully when there is only one price.  I have the calculation set to do a product of the price * quantity.  The problem I am having is when there are 2 prices.  I need to be able to tell it which price to use.  So, I was trying to add a Custom Calculation script. If the member number text field has a value OR one of the 3 me

I'm admittedly still on a learning curve with Adobe software, but I've bumped into a problem I don't even know how to start addressing.  We recently created a new fillable PDF form for internal use in our organization.  This document requires signatures from two different people.  During its first use, the formatting of the PDF text fields completely altered after the request was sent to the second signer.  The multiline fields were all back to single lines, and and text fields set to scroll were no longer doing so.  This made the document relatively difficult to use.  Is there a way to protect the formatting between signers?  I'm trying to figure out what would cause this, as sending the form through other means (e.g. an email attachment) doesn't cause this issue.

Hi,I am sorry if my question has already been answered somewhere else. I run into this post looking for some direction to solve my issue which is: I work with a group of epidemiologists who track restaurant food outbreaks. When there is an outbreak, an epidemiologist goes online to the restaurant menu and literally types in a Word document every item in the menu. Then the menu is converted to a fillable PDF form that is used to interview cases. This is a very labor intensive process and I would like to optimize it as follows: I would like to copy the menu directly on a Word document and convert such document into a fillable form that is easily followed when interviewing cases. Can this be done? If not, do you have any direction as to how I could accomplish something like this? Thanks for any help you could give me with this issue.

 Hello Adobe Support, We have encountered an error on our systems where staff who use Sharepoint are able to open and preview their pdf documents via their browser (Chrome, Edge, etc) but when they click to 'Open In Desktop App' button while the app opens the users are getting the above error message. Opening of the documents works perfect fine if they are downloaded first and then opened, but the users want to make live document changes not have a copy of the document that they change and then need to replace the OG one. We've run thorugh a number of troubleshooting steps to rectify this issue already.1. Reset Browser cache2. Run adobe installation repair3. Check for enhanced security settings within Adobe preferences4. Check for if sharepoint allows for less secure apps5. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Acrobat using a registry cleanup tool like Revo The issue only occured recently and we're starting to run checks to see if there was a possible google chrome up

Adobe is only working on the clould. It's not working via desktop so it's making it difficult to edit and organize pdf's the way I did on previoul laptop. 

Hello community,I have problem with my Adobe Acrobat DC Software. I could activate it in two computers and now after reinstalling it on my updated OS it says I have already two activated devices. The computer where I had it installed does not exist anymore. So I cannot logout from that device. Do you have any recommendations how to get the software running again. The Adobe support said they can't do anything. Perhaps somebody in the forum can help me.Best wishesSimon

I've been using Adobe X Pro for about 15 years now.  All of a sudden I'm getting an "Activation limit reached" error that tells me I have the software installed on 2 other computers.  I actually only have it installed on 1 other computer.  I went back to my old computer and permanently deactivated it there.  When I come back to my current computer and try to restart the program, I get the same activation error message. I called Adobe support, but they tell me that my system must have gone through some non-Adobe update, which prompted the Adobe software to seek reactivation.  Because Adobe X is in end-of-life status, they can't help. I do not want an Adobe subscription - I was happy with just the standalone desktop software I purchased outright.  Does anyone know how to get around this activation issue to be able to continue using the Adobe X I've been using for years?

We have a PC (belonging to our CEO) that has the VCRUNTIME140.dll file replaced when the Adobe Update Service (installed with Adobe Reader) runs with a file having zero bytes. We repaired the file yesterday only to have the Adobe Update break the file again this morning. Any ideas to why/how this is happening. We get the following message: 

I'm new to this java business... I need help defaulting to the amount in field A if the true total of fields b, c, d, e, etc (TrueTotal) is greater than A. if A = TrueTotal value = truetotalif A <TrueTotal, then default to A, notify user that amount doesn't match if A>TrueTotal, then TrueTotal, notify user that amounts don't match and A is too high Thanks so much.

Our company updated our Outlook to the new version. Ever since then, when I open a file attached in an email, it gets renamed to some random string of text and numbers. Very similar to the problem where when packaging illustrator files, Adobe tends to rename linked images from the cloud. This random renaming of my files is very disruptive.  I can't be sure this new renaming issue is an Adobe one instead of Microsoft. I sent them a message too. I assume it is Adobe since the remamed files are renamed in the same way as the Illustrator packaged images from the cloud. Please find a way to stop this.

Is there a way to advance to the next result in the text (not in the search box) in Advanced Searches? Formerly I could press command-G (I think) and it would take me to the corresponding page. This functionality has been gone for over a year. Now I have to click in the search box to get to the next result. I see this discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/key-to-move-to-next-search-result/m-p/12967526 It is unresolved. Has anyone been able to reproduce the bug or find a workaround? Or is the function simply dead now.Ventura latest, Acrobat DC Pro latest, M2 Macbook Pro

I used below code from other post to calculate total time (custom calculate script): if ((this.getField("To1").value.length == 0) || (this.getField("From1").value.length == 0)) {event.value = " 0 Hours 0 Minutes";}else{ var timefinished = this.getField("To1").value;var timestarted = this.getField("From1"). value; var datetimefinished = new Date('1970/01/01' + " " + timefinished);var datetimestarted = new Date('1970/01/01' + " " + timestarted); var difflnMilliSeconds = Math.abs(datetimefinished - datetimestarted)/1000; var hours = Math.floor(difflnMilliSeconds / 3600) % 24;difflnMilliSeconds -= hours *3600; var minutes = Math.floor(difflnMilliSeconds / 60) % 60;difflnMilliSeconds -= minutes * 60; event.value = hours + "." + minutes ;} I am having trouble finding the right script to calculate all totals and how to calculate overtime after 12 am (for Example: From 23:00 till 01:00). 

All of a sudden, I am having issues with downloading PDF files on to my computer I didn't have before.  I work in Adobe Acrobate Pro 90% of the day, everyday.  When using the download symbol arrow, I see my document being saved as automatically in file type as "PDPPlus.Document" and not "PDF files (*.PDF)".   See the attached redacted docment.  I'm not sure how to file it.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Denise

When I have multiple pdf's open and I want to close one (they all get close).I seem to have marked the "always close all" or something and now I realize that was a mistake.I would like to know how to re-set Adobe or if there is an easier solution I would like to hear it.

Hello all. My company has an LGA VIP Adobe account for Acrobat Pro creative cloud etc.  Separately, we have another ENTERPRISE Adobe Sign acccount.  When a user with our domain emails are assigned an Acrobat license and access to Adobe sign enterprise (personal profile and Adobe ID , then company/work profile and Enterprise ID) , the send for signature funcation ceases to work for the user within Acrobat. They must send ALL their documents via the web link instead of the free convenience of the Acrobat app.  We have several areas of the company where they do not require the paid version and want to maintain  their free option within acrobat, however, if we combine accounts to enterprise, that "free" feature within Acrobat goes away anyhow.  Has anyone else expereienced this? Is there no way around this issue? The only fix there is currently is to submit a ticket to adobe for every single user who wants enterprise to provision the user, but t

For years, I have used adobe products. Since mid 1990s. I won't be cancelling or anything like that. But I need to comment on a specific product which is the WORST experience of ANY software ever used. And I work in IT, and I build apps and I know UX. All told, Acrobat is a disastrous experience. Either it always needs an update and it never occurred to Adobe I AM BUSY! I want to decide when to do any update, or else it fails to respond, or else something else. There are a LONG list of issues that go on with acrobat. And they require time to figure out. What I don't understand is WHY with such an important product IT DOES NOT WORK properly. I have spent three years now struggling with Acrobat. Tired of it. Today the issue was it suddenly wanting to do updates. This is the most tone deaf UX I have ever seen. The thing is full of messed up code. It's slow. And I have a FAST computer. Then, to make it worse, and this is the first time I have EVER given adobe feedback, There is now easy wa

Hi guys, When I open an email in Office Professional Plus 2013 and click on a PDF file attachment I get the error message"This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it". The same issue occurs in Explorer. Reinstalling Adobe Acrobat Reader DC I now can see the preview of a PDF in Explorer. When I look in the Trust Center for Outlook I see that "PDF Preview Handler" is not listed. Repaired Office, no change. Anyone know how I get it to come back?
