Questions

How can I disable the blue prompt “This PDF contains unapplied redactions. To permanently remove the selected content select Apply.”I do not want to remove the selected content, and I am afraid that I might accidentally click on “Apply”.I use redaction as a workaround to find and permanently highlight all occurrences of a word in the file, because Adobe Acrobat does not have a search and highlight feature.Thanks.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8I've been trying to combine 2 pdf files (scanned to pdf using Preview on Mac) in Adobe Acrobat. However, it keeps getting stuck on checking for security settings for a long time (see screenshot below). I checked the security settings on each pdf file and they both are showing no security.I opened the original file using Preview, open the Print window and saved it to PDF under different name and still I can't combine the files. Is there any other way to get this done? I've been searching on Google and this forum for hours and found no solution to my problem. Thanks.

Your feedback matters—and we’ve listened.  We understand that not everyone requires AI assistance in their workflow. Many of you shared concerns about intrusive prompts and lack of control, and we’ve taken action. Now, Acrobat gives you complete control over AI features through Preferences. You decide what stays on and what turns off—no enforcement, no surprises — just flexibility.  Important Note: Acrobat AI Assistant is continuously evolving, so different users may see slightly different options depending on their version of Acrobat. Rest assured, the available preferences will function as intended. To check the latest version available, please visit here: Release Notes. Where to Find These Settings Go to Menu > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac).  In the left panel, select Generative AI.  Here’s what you’ll see:  Enable generative AI features in Acrobat (If you want to disable AI features entirely, simply uncheck this option) If you want to keep AI enabled bu

Do you have any idea how many PDFs I have open at a time? Sometimes all grouped within one "page" of tabs, while others opened all by themselves. When switching between files I need to first reference the PDF file name so I know I am selecting the correct file. No longer do you show the entire file name within the tab, even if there is only ONE PDF file open...why did you change this? Now I have to take multiple steps to see a file name including leaving the file I'm currently within, suchas an Excel file, then select the Adobe PDF and hover over the tab to see it name. Are you kidding me? Not efficient whatsoever. Let the tab take up as much room as it needs to show the PDF file name! If I add another PDF file to the same grouped "page," then show as much as you can of both PDF file names. Why did you change this? I'm trying to understand the reasoning.

I've created a Fillable form using text boxes and it works well in the preview except that all of the text boxes are blue. I would like my users who are going to fill out the form to not see the blue text boxes; the text boxes should just look white/transparent (like nothing is there) until they put their cursor in the answer area.Does anyone know how to edit/fix this? I'm not a proficient user of Adobe so I may be making newbie mistake! Thanks.

HelloI have very little-to-zero knowledge of javascript so would appreciate any help/advice you can give me.I have searched the forum/internet and cobbled together snippets of code to create the attached dynamic stamp which has various text boxes, radio buttons and dropdown boxes.It (surprisingly) works, but the 2 dropdown boxes appear in separate popup windows so there are 3 popup windows in total.Is it possible to have just one popup window that combines everything?It would also be incredibly helpful if the dropdown boxes didn’t have to be selected every time and had default choices (Approved & Coded for DropdownApproved and File for DropdownFile).I have attached my stamp, and the code is below - apologies for the state of it - as it’s a mashup of random bits I’ve found through searching the internet, I’m sure its full of unnecessary text and is pretty ugly.Thanks again //-------------------------------------------------------------//-----------------Do not edit the XML tags-----

Hello,This topic has arisen before, but the solutions I found aren't working for me with the current version of Acrobat Pro. I assemble graphic novels - the latest one I'm working on has a problem with OCR as the cover page is being tilted when I don't want it to be (image 1 - red outlines indicate where the image has been tilted, creating a white edges that should not be there)I went into the "Scan & OCR/Enhance scanned file" setting and unchecked "Recognize Text" - but the page is still being tilted. (image 2) I saw advice that I can turn off "Recognize Text" via the right side panel using the "Scanned Documents" tab - but I don't have a "Scanned Documents" tab (image 3)Final image is the version I'm using for reference.Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. 

I just replaced my ancient laptop, but with the new one I also had to re-download Acrobat Reader which I use for text proofreading (that's my job). Except, the new version of course no longer supports that, instead I'm forced to manually select to "insert text" or "replace text" every single time. I'm wondering if anyone knows the number of the last Reader version that supported automatically doing that without having to select the right tool first, and where to download it? I believe it was some time in 2023 when that changed.

If out of Text1 and Text2, Text1 is blank and Text2 has text, then Text3 will populate whatever is in Text2, and vice versa for Text1. Text1 and Text2 will never both contain text or data at the same time.

For several weeks (since late Fall 2025), if I have a single PDF open and try to close it by clicking the red dot or by typing "command-W" [Mac], Acrobat becomes permanently unresponsive and must be force-quit. If there are several PDFs open (either as separate tabs or separate windows), I can close each of them this way *until* I get to a single remaining PDF -- and then the "close" process will freeze Acrobat. I *can* "Quit" the application with a single PDF displaying, but I can't close up that PDF *without* actually quitting. I have deleted and reinstalled Acrobat three times, and I believe I have the latest version of Acrobat: Architecture: arm64 Processor: Apple M4 Max Build: 25.1.21111.0 AGM: 7.1.19 CoolType: 10.0.7 JP2K: 4.0.2.54782]Can anyone help? 

Acrobat Pro version 2025.001.21111 hangs for about 3 seconds when it appears to be loading the account icons at the top right near the minimize button. We are having this on multiple computers.

Hi. I get 'AdobeIPCBroker.exe - System Error' on my screen, sying: The code execution cannot proceed because CRClient.dll was not found. reinstalling the program may fix this problem.' - But I haven't intalled 'AdobeIPCBroker.exe' program. This message canot be removed from my screen. Have tried to close and re-start the computer, but this message still pops up - un top of any program or screen I open - aways visible. Anyone know what this is? How to fix? Do I have to delete and re-intall Adobe???

I want to delete an archived agreement from my adobe acrobat web account.  It’s my personal account, and the document is something I don’t want stored on the cloud, and just want permanently gone.  There is no delete button anywhere to be found.  I’ve contacted support and they wanted to remotely access my pc for what reason?  Who knows !  Why in the world can’t I simply delete a file?

In een pdf formulier heb ik 2 opties om in te vullen.Alle velden zijn verplicht, echter kies ik voor optie 1 is invullen van optie 2 niet nodig en vice versa. 

Adobe keeps crashing for only one user in the company. Adobe will stop responding and will have to be force closed via task manager. Also, Adobe is just laggy in general when it is working. This does not happen for other users on other PCs who are accessing the same PDFs using the same version of Adobe. We have tried so many things to resolve this issue, nothing works. We have completely uninstalled Adobe, along with any lingering folders/registry keys. We’ve updated Adobe. The event viewer logs don’t help. They just say something along the lines of “application hang”. This is the free version of Adobe. Is there anyway to get in touch with support or something? Is there support for the free version of Adobe.

When I do a Save As, the save screen fills the normal area on my screen. I can't make it smaller. This is a problem to me as I can no longer see the document that I am saving, or any other references that I might be using to decide where to save the file to. How do I get control of this so I can make it smaller?

Bonjour,J'utilise Acrobat Pro et depuis quelques jours, quand je souhaite modifier une PDF mes panneaux latéraux sont vides.  J'ai désinstaller avec l'idée de faire une nouvelle installation, mais là impossible de faire l'installation (code erreur 136) j'ai donc installer une version antérieur. Et le problème persiste. Auriez-vous une solution.  Un TimeMachine ne m'a pas résolu le problème.Imac sous MacOS Catalina 10.15.7

This is the error am getting while claiming from Airtel Thanks App. 

I am busy preparing a fillable form - not all textboxes were added during the convertion.  When i add a textbox, in some cases the textbox border must be transparent. But when is change it as per suggested option it remains black. 

PS - AI ssistent verdwenen oplossing ?

I disabled the AI "assistant" in Adobe for the simple reason that I do not want it. So why is it that, only a few days later, I'm looking at a pop-up with a big black ENABLE button and the message "You previously disabled generative AI features in Acrobat. By clicking Enable, you'll be able to use these features again"? I didn't accidentally toggle the off switch, which should be obvious, because I had to wade through a bunch of menus to get rid of this enabled-by-default "feature." I made a very deliberate decision to disable AI in Adobe Acrobat because, again, I do not want it. So enough with the Sam-I-Am routine. Stop trying to cram your slopbot down my throat. I don't care if the first hit's free. I said no. 

I am writing to express a significant concern regarding the recent shift from TechSoup to Goodstack for Adobe’s nonprofit licensing and verification process.Our organization serves individuals seeking freedom from addiction, and we fully meet the eligibility criteria listed on Adobe’s own website. However, since Adobe transitioned to Goodstack, every request we have submitted for nonprofit-sector software access has been rejected—despite years of approval through TechSoup under the same mission and status.After extensive correspondence, I learned that Goodstack is applying its own “internal policies,” which are not publicly disclosed by Adobe, and which explicitly exclude organizations whose mission is helping people overcome drug and alcohol addiction. This practice effectively discriminates against a vital segment of the nonprofit sector—those working directly with some of the most vulnerable individuals in our communities. Addiction recovery work is an essential public good, and exc

HelloI have very little-to-zero experience or understanding of javascript and am a complete novice so I would really appreciate any help you could give me as I am seriously out of my depth.Also, apologies if any of the terminology I use is incorrect.I have searched the forum/internet and copied various snippets of code and managed to cobble together the attached dynamic stamp which has various text boxes, radio buttons and dropdown boxes.It (surprisingly) works but the 2 dropdown boxes appear in 2 separate pop up windows so there are 3 pop up windows in total.My question is how do I combine all 3 so I only have one popup window?It would also be incredibly helpful if the dropdown boxes didn’t have to be selected every time and that they had a default answer (Approved & Coded for DropdownApproved, and File for DropdownFile).Apologies in advance for the absolute mess the code is - my knowledge is so minimal and I have copied code from lots of different places so I’m sure it looks pret
