Questions

I'm creating a PDF report for preschool teachers, and I'd like them to be able to easily indicate feedback using smiley icons. Ideally, teachers should be able to toggle the visibility of each smiley by simply clicking on it: one click makes the smiley appear, another click hides it again.How can I achieve this functionality in Adobe Acrobat? Can this be done using interactive form fields, buttons, or scripts? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I finally found the keep tool and customized my toolbar to add it back. Except it doesn't show up. What am I doing wrong? You can see I added it and saved it. But it's nowhere to be seen on the toolbar. If I click the annotate button (where it appears when customizing the toolbar) it's just my signature.

 Hello, I have noticed that Acrobat is using a lot of RAM, almost 90% of available RAM, even though I have just turned on my computer and have not run the program yet. That causes my computer to sometimes freeze. How can I report this to Adobe so they know about this problem? 

My acrobat will not combine files like in previous versions. Also, if I have a pdf open and then try to open another pdf, it takes upwards of 5 minutes and then all the sudden opens even if acrobat is no longer running because I gave up waiting. Seems to be an issue with the most recent updates. Anyone else have this problem with either function? Also if I go to open a previously viewed multiple page pdf, it only opens on the page I last closed it with...why isn't it opening at page 1 like it used to?

Hi, Anyone have a proven fix for this issue? Microsoft definitely does not a proven fix. Mac Office 2021 & 2024 Word & Powerpoint.This is one of the 2 in Word and 3 or 4 in Powerpoint: Run-time error '53':File not found: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ MACPDFM/MacPDFM.framework/Versions/A/MacPDFM Thanks

Multiple computersNewest version of Acrobat DCIssue only seems to happen with drawings exported from CAD programs but Acrobat will become unresponsive after 10-15 seconds of scrolling through the documents. It never crashes tho, just switches between being unresponsive and not (the "not" phase it still isn't usable/can't interact with the program, just Windows doesn't report it as unresponsive)Tried disabling accessibility options, all comments options, protected mode, rendering options, clean install Created diagnostic log 9550e1b6-fd48-45b3-9d9e-e9d818508fb4 for the trouble. Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

As the title suggested, when opening some CAD drawings saved as PDF (not even heavy drawings), Acrobat just struggles enormously and this has gotten worse over the years, to the point where it's not even workable anymore. Opening, switching pages or zooming in takes a very long time.  I just downloaded Sumatra PDF, and I opened 20 CAD drawings in less than 2 seconds and the viewing experience is just on another level, it's blazing fast.  If the original developer of the PDF format doesn't know how to handle these basic PDFs whereas a free software does the job 1000x better and faster, there's clearly something wrong.  My workstation specs are quite ok: Threadripper 3990x, Nvidia RTX3080Ti and 265GB RAM so I don't think that's the problem. 

I have a nuberic field on my pdf and what I would like to know if there is anything in JavaScript that will select (highlight) the field value when you select the field with your mouse. The number gets selected when you Tab in but not when you click in with the mouse. I tried some code on a mouse down event but did not work.

Hallo, seit ein paar Minuten habe ich Probleme PDF Dateien zu öffnen. Ich öffne die Datei, sie öffnet sich auch ganz normal aber dann geht direkt das ganze Bild weg und es bleibt nur ein grauer Bildschirm. Ich habe die Adobe App schon geupdatet und sogar repariert. Geht trotzdem nicht. Benötige bitte dringend Hilfe!

I like AI Assistant, but simply can not use "new acrobat."  Would you please enable the use of AI Assistant in "old acrobat?"  As an alternative, perhaps consider making "new acrobat" look and behave like "old acrobat" so all of us could actually use it.Thank you. 🙂

I am running Adobe Acrobat in protected mode. I have certain files that I need to grant access. I have given access to them in "ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt" file located in Acrobat folder. I have also ensured that I have added "bUseWhitelistConfigFile" and set its DWORD value to 1 under registry key Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown.It takes all my files properly but when I do changes in "ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt" file to update new directories / files, It fails to do so. If I delete it restart in Non Protected mode and then recreate it in Acrobat folder it again takes the new changes and starts working.Am I doing anything wrong here? Is there a way to prevent adobe using its OLD FILE. [I HAVE ALWAYS RESTARTED ADOBE AFTER CHANGES] . Or is there some place where it caches this file so that I can delete it and Adobe Acrobat takes my new changes in the file. 

Hi,I've just started using Acrobate Pro DC and thought that editing a document was easy.But it turns out that it's not.The problem that's occurring is that when I add lines of text to a bounded box it flows into the box below and corruptes the text.I thought that Acrobat would take expand the box and shift boxes down, but it doesn't.What is the proper to add text without corrupting subsequent boxes.Thanks in advance for any help.

When opening a shared PDF on Adobe Document Cloud, the right side panel shows "Comments" by default. I would prefer that it show "Bookmarks" or "Destinations" by default, rather than "Comments".  Is there a way to achieve this?

Wenn ich eine PDF Datei mit doppelklick öffnen will, geht die PDF Anzeige in den Vollbildmodus... so dass ich meine anderen geöffneten Fenster  am Windows PC nicht mehr sehen kann .....  Das nervt .. Vielen Dank für einen Tipp

I’m having an issue when trying to combine files using the context menu shortcut. I’m on Windows 11, and when I attempt to combine files through the context menu, it only opens the program without showing anything. I’ve already tried repairing the installation, uninstalled and reinstalled the program, and the PDFs are not corrupted. Is there any solution? I’m using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. PT-BR: Estou tendo um problema ao combinar arquivos pelo atalho do menu de contexto. Utilizo o windows 11 e quando tento combinar arquivos pelo menu de contexto, apenas abre o programa e não aparece nada. Já tentei corrigir a instalação, desinstalei e reinstalei o programa, os pdfs não tem nenhum tipo de corrompimento. Há alguma solução? Utilizo o Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

I've scoured the community looking for an answer but unfortunately nothing so - hopefully i'm not alone in this and we're able to get a fix. Mac M4 Mini running Sequoia 15.5 - Acrobat Version 2025.001.20529 For this particular example, I'm opening a pdf that has multiple pages with graphics and text. ALSO The graphics that have a little bit of transparency aren't showing up when I open in Acrobat - that's another issue (and I from something similar on my search, that's one of the problems) - then when I simply go to File - Compress a PDF - (retain existing) no changes - I click OK and then I get the "Conversion Warning". No amount of playing around on my own has fixed this and I haven't found anything clear as to what's going on. Hopefully someone can walk me through.Thank you!

I have and old manually typed document that I scaned to PDF.  The PDF document reads well. I then converted the PDF to Word file from Acrobat DC,  In some instancies the Word file had a text compression (letters and spaces mashed together) I tried changing fonts, paragraph and line spacing and could not correct.. When I pasted the compressed line in this text box the compression went away. So I made a jpeg with a screen capture.  

after i sign the pdf has me save but it locks the document from editing anymore even though i selected from fill in digital sign permitted. i need multiple signatures and i cant even draw a sign field afterwords, only thing it lets me do is validate? not sure what happened, used to be able to create sign field, sign it, still work on the document even, then send in an email to have someone else sign it. but now i cant do any of that. 

I am happy to have Acrobat updates installed automatically, however, that occurs whenever it occurs, and I have no choice in timing those updates. Acrobat updates often bog down the performance of Acrobat, presenting the lovely and frustrating spinning wheel. It would be an improvement if Acrobat's Updater provided options to time updates to occur while you're sleeping instead of in the middle of your work day. 

I am having issue sending my print job to my printer. When I print a PDF from the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro it gets sent to the print queue. From there it gets sent to the printer, the job disappears, the printer lights up, and then nothing happens. The printer does not initiate the job. It was working this morning and then it suddenly stopped. I can print from Preview and I can print a Test Print from the Print Queue but not Adobe. I'm running the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro (2024.002.20687). My computer is running macOS Sonoma 12.4.1, latest version, it is an M1 Pro MacBook Pro. Can someone please assist? I've tried updating the printer, restarting the computer, and making sure everything else is up-to-date.

Hi Adobe Community, I'm trying to publish a webform. I spent quite a while manuarlly reordering the tab order in Acrobat. However, when I upload to a web form, all of the tab orders have been reset to default values. Is there a known way to resolve this? If so, please share. Thanks, in advance!

Creative Cloud All Apps 100GB lists Acrobat Pro why is it not available to me?

Hello all, I am having an issue with Acrobat signatures. We have some documents that require digital signatures. The users usually use the chrome acrobat extension to sign the document and send it off, either through outlook or shared to sharepoint. The problem is when the PDF is downloaded and opened in Acrobat, the signature is no longer there. If I right-click the pdf and "Open with > chrome" it is there, but opening with acrobat it is missing. This also happens with text blocks sometimes but that is more rare and is less important. -Kevin S.
