Questions

Hi,I've read an earlier explanation of a similiar question, but in my beginner-eyes the discussion became to advance for me to understand.Therefore, I try to ask my question here instead.In my pdf form I have three checkboxes named: checkbox1, checkbox2 and checkbox3.I wish the following to happen:If checkbox1 is checked, then checkbox2 and checkbox3 also becomes checked,but at the same time checkbox 2 and checkbox3 also become disabled (by disabledI mean not checkable, not clickable).Thank you for helping me out./Dennis

Hello,I would like to create a dynamic stamp composed of three different fields. The first field should include the Name and Identifier in the format "Name (Identifier)" from the "Identity" section of Adobe preferences. The second field should display the current date, and the third field should show the name of the file on which the stamp is applied. Here is an example. I have already tried, but only the date is dynamic; the rest does not work, and I am getting error messages in the JavaScript console saying that I do not have the necessary permissions. This stamp should be able to work across multiple sessions. The goal is to copy and paste it onto several users' PCs in the stamp directory on the C drive or the hidden AppData folder of Adobe.Thank you.

In an MS-Word document (a medical/legal chronology), I want to insert a hyperlink to a specific page in a PDF that resides in the cloud on Adobe.com (a 400 page PDF of medical records).  I want to link to a specific page so the reader only has to click once on the hyperlink and be taken to the exact location in the medical records that corresponds to the date in the MS-Word chronology.While the PDF was open on my screen, I generated a link by clicking the Share button.I edited this by appending "#page=5" to the end of the link.  I then created the hyperlink in the Word document with that addendum.Clicking the hyperlink in the Word document takes me to page one, not page 5.When the PDF resides on my local drive or on CanLII [eg, https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/bcca/doc/2023/2023bcca110/2023bcca110.pdf#page=7 ], I have met with success, but not when the PDF resides on Adobe.com, nor on Google Drive, nor on Dropbox. Is there a solution? I had expected that hyperlinki

Hi this sounds an easy question but I have been scrambling around reading the seriously bad instructions on the adobe help pages and am no further forward. I want to send a pdf for two parties to sign. I hit prepare form. The help pages imply I can add seignature emails at this point, I cannot. It then generates hundreds of little boxes around things. I am hoping I can ignore this, I simply want people to sign the document, I have added the fields to the relevant areas. Now, how do I send it to recipients, with the esign, because there is nothing I can do here, if I click the esign tab, that are two rotating 'thinking' circles, that do nothing, am I supposed to be putting their emails there? Cheers

 Hi. I was sent a pdf and I have downloaded adobe acrobat on my mobile as well as laptop but this is what opens and not the actual file. How can I fix this?

We use flowcharts to map out our company procedures. This works great, but there are some steps within a procedure that require additional explanation. Is there some way I could create a pdf that hides/shows a text box with additional instructions when a user hovers over a step within the procedure? I tried just using the highlight/notes feature, but the text can't be formatted which makes for a less than ideal user experience. The whole goal here is to make our documentation as easy to consume as possible so people actually use it. Ideas are greatly appreciated.

I do graphic design in MS Word. Today, most of (nearly all) of my text turns to black. I have words in white with blue shading behind them. Today, they are all black so I can't see it. I have tried multiple ways of saving it. Colleagues in my industry are experiencing the same thing. Is there a workaround until it gets fixed? I have some deadlines and these documents won't render correctly from MS Word app to Adobe PDF. I have tried other PDF converters but b/c these are created in the MS Word app (not web), it lays them out differently.  I have been doing this for 10 years and this is the first day it has done this. 

Hello all,A couple coworkers of mine are having an issue with their E-Sign on Adobe Acrobat. Hopefully I am asking this in the correct place. Basically. When I go into "Request an e-signature" I have the option right off the bat to "Select Files", and it allows me to select multiple files at a time, combines them into 1 package, and lets me fill them out from there.My co workers, however, only have the option to "Select a File", where it only allows them to select 1 single file. Now, they can add files later on after it goes through the upload process, but they still have to manually select them 1 at a time.We work with lots of documents and constantly have to mix and match singular files into 1 larger file, so manually having to add them 1 at a time is a pain and takes up a lot of time. I do not have to manually add them 1 by 1. I can select them all at once and add them, my coworkers can not do this though. We all have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat, and we all have th

I have an order form I'm creating for a client.  There's a quantity column, price each column, shipping column and total column.  User will input the quantity, along with some other info.  However, the quantity column has to x (times) the price each column + the shipping column to get the total.  (A1 * A2 + A3 = TOTAL).  How do I write up the calculation or script in Acrobat, or can it do this?

Is it possible to use a Form Radio Button or check box to hide unnecessary portions of a document based on which button or box is checked? I have a 40 page document that covers 16 topics. I would like to have a form at the top of the document where a user can select which topic they want to see and then only that topic is shown. 

Tried everything. But this error message wouldn't go away, and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro Reader can't be downloaded on Windows 10. I tried disabling the anti-virus, it had nothing to do with that. I tried uninstalling and re-installing, it didn't work. Please show me know how to troubleshoot this?

 When I work with Adobe PRO (delete blank pages, move or add pages) the application freezes and the pages that are displayed are blank. And it's impossible work on it.  

I have had an account with Adobe for several years. The subscription was paid recently. When I open the app, it seems to lock up. I am not able to select the login function or even move the app to a different monitor. I have to use the End Task fuction in the control panel to get Adobe to close. This started within the past week. I am using it on the same laptop, which had no problems for the past 6 months.Any insight on how to resolve this issue?

Find function completely useless in Acrobat Pro which I updated to thinking that it was a problem with free Acrobat Reader. Downloaded latest version of Acrobat Pro so I doubt it is a patch problem. I am using Acrobat Pro Version 2023.008.20423 on an Apple M2. Neither Control F nor selecting Find Text or Tools makes any difference. I type in the word that appears at least 20 times in a 200 page document and it says it can't find it anywhere. Super frustrating.

Hi, I am considering Acrobat or, at least, a PDF tool that can do what I want. I need to create mailmerged fillable forms. That is to say, I need to distribute partially-filled PDF Forms from a mailmerge, but they need to be fillable forms (not just a flat pdf), because the recipients need to complete the rest of the fillable fields.  Ideally the mail-merged bit of the form will NOT be editable, but I can live with that. Can Acrobat do this, or can someone recommend a better tool for this purpose?

When I attempt to convert a word document to a PDF, I get a message: An error occurred while uploading. Please try again.  Any ideas as to what may be causing this to occur? 

I have a will that was witnessed, I am aware Adobe Acrobat Sign is not to be used for Will in some jurisdictions.   Both witnesses viewed the document under the same IP address... All three parties were remote from each other according to the sworn statements by the witnesses.    How might that be possible?   Thanks for any insight.   [Attachment with private information removed, and formatting adjusted]      

Hello, All I was trying to do was to type in a pdf document. However, the longer the line of text got, it started sloping upwards all by itself. I tried using the "turn" feature on the text box to try and straighten it out, but it only made it slope in the opposite direction. Also, many of the normal functions are not working as expected. I uninstalled, and reinstalled, but no luck. Additionally, the document will not save correctly. I tried the help/look for updates, but it says there aren't any. Windows 11, 64 bit, Core i7 Dell. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

M3 Max MacBook Pro, macOS Sonoma 14.5 Earlier this morning I shared a PDF document for collaboration using the built-in Acrobat DC feature.Even after closing the document (with Acrobat still running), the Acrobat Collaboration Synchronizer process was using between 150 and 200% of CPU energy. I used the AppTamer application to put a limit on it when Acrobat was not in focus and it helped but I believe this should have not happened in the first place.More worrying, though, is the fact that:1. the process should not be running if the shared document is not open2. the process should not be running if Acrobat has been quit!!I have been obliged to Quit the process in Activity Monitor to prevent it from using resources best needed elsewhere. Please fix this kind of damaging behaviour as soon as possible.

Hello, I am in the process of making an editable PDF that includes fillable text fields. I have a text field for a certificate number. My intention is to habe "Cert No:" to the start of that field, allowing the user to simply input the number while ensuring that the phrase "Cert No:" always remains at the beginning of the field.  I have encountered scripts that allow for placeholder text to vanish once the user begins typing in the field; however, I am seeking a script that ensures the words remain visible and always at the start of the field. Thanks.
