Questions

I often receive PDF files that I want to rename once I have looked at the content more closely.How do I just rename an open file in Acrobat (rather than Save As, or closing the file and going into the OS file manager to do it?)

Salut Equipe Adobe je veux faire un abonnement anuuel sur le composant Adobe (extraction, Diviser, appliquer un OCR sur un fichier PDF, etc.), pour une utilisation dans Power Automate.Impossible de faire l'abonnement. le chat bot virtuel ne m'offre aucune solution, Que faire ?je suis en Côte d'Ivoire, peut etre qu'il y a une restriction sur le pays ! Merci.

Yesterday, I updated 2 iMacs to Sequoia v15.3.2. Today, I downloaded a bank statement PDF and the text was not displaying. Past PDFs from this same bank have the same issue. PDFs from other sources, past and present, seem to be fine. Trying to narrow down the problem, I compared the 2 iMacs. On iMac #1, the bank's PDFs are unreadable. On iMac #2, the PDFs are readable. I followed multiple suggestions to fix the problem, to no avail. Reset Fonts in Font Book (several times, with a restart after each reset)Validated all fontsEliminated any personal fontsUninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat ProCleaned up cacheRan a maintenance programRan various Acrobat utilities to embed the fonts. The only success was to convert the fonts to outline.The Document Properties show Arial (embedded Subset) and a strange series of fonts named "T3Font_58, T3Font_59", etc. I was able to edit the PDF and change all of the fonts to Arial. But what a pain in the neck!

Hi all!I have a problem with differences when checking separations in Output Preview and Preflight between Adobe Acrobat Pro 2025 (enterprise license) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 Classic (probably the last standalone version).  When I checked the PDF file for the presence of additional colors other than Pantone in the 2025 version, they did not appear, but in the 2020 Classic version, the software detected elements containing CMY colors. It also works the other way around - in another PDF file, the 2025 version software detects an element in the form of a line (microscopic - with the color defined for the shape, not for the line - so the line itself does not have a color), but the 2020 version software does not detect it. I am attaching screenshots of the two cases (one with CMY 88% elements and the other with just the line in another file). Please help - it's important that these two checks are the same.

I am writing on behalf of a doctors office. We use adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  We have many forms which our clientel need to sign at different dates however, the documents become locked after signing them once. Is there a way to disable this feature in settings? If not, is there a previous version of Adobe Acrobat Pro that we could revert to that does not cause the document to have editing limitations? We are not worried about having a fancy digital signature authentication. We just want to lay down a digital signature. We considered chopping up the forms by removing pages and signing them separately, however we decided that this would significantly slow down our workflow. We have spent a very good chunk of money setting up a custom signing terminal and it will have been a useless purchase if we cannot edit documents after signing them. Help is greatly appreciated. Below I have linked a couple of our most commonly used forms, in case it is relevant to solving our problem:

When trying to send an attached PDF file I get a message that states "We don't support PDF version below 1.4. Please convert your file to version 1.4 or above and try again." Can I get someone to help me in doing this? I am using a Mac computer. Thanks.

Dutch | English belowHallo, Graag wil ik een invulformulier maken met daarin een vak waarin iemand anders een handtekening kan zetten.  Met Adobe Acrobat heb ik een formulier gemaakt middels "Een formulier voorbereiden". Ik kan een handtekeningvak toevoegen (zie screenshot). Als ik het formulier download in PDF kan ik er geen handtekening inzetten. Ik kan alleen tekst typen. Dit maakt niet uit of ik kies voor "Signature" of "Signature Block".Graag hoor ik of iemand een oplossing hiervoor heeft. Ik wil namelijk het formulier toevoegen in een mail naar klanten en niet telkens ook nog elke klant een aanvraag moeten sturen voor "elektronisch tekenen".  Alvast dank!___________________Hello,I would like to create a form with a box in which someone else can sign. I have created a form with Adobe Acrobat using "A prepare form". I can add a signature box (see screenshot). When I download the form in PDF, I cannot enter a signature. I can only type text. T

Y prendas versátiles uso la firma digital a través de Acrobat y me funcionaba perfectamente. A raíz de la actualización que tuve el.13 Marzo de 2025 intento firmar un PDF y me aparece firmado digitalmente que me lo indica la plataforma en el lateral derecho, pero no me aparece el sello visible cómo hago para que me aparezca el sello visible. Llamé a la casa de moneda y timbre en vez de que es un fallo de Acrobat no sé si os ha pasado o es un fallo de configuración. Gracias 

 I want to use the text recognition feature using this tab, but I get the following error: "Acrobat cannot replace the current page with the recognized page due to the following error: Invalid parameter. This is due to either low memory or insufficient disk space." What should I do to fix this error? I would appreciate your help.

Hi, I am having some issues with several users at my work place not able to convert Excell files that are saved as xlsx using Acrobat PDF Maker tool within Adobe Acrobat STD. This suddenly started happening. What happens is when the PDF Maker tool is used if the Excell files has multiple tabs or no tabs the Excell will not convert to PDF and the original excel file if it had tabs they will become hidden for some reason. It works fine when the file is converted to the old excel format xls then the PDF Maker creates the PDF and dose not hide the tabs. Are you able to please assist? Thanks, Zoran 

Is there a way to stop Acrobat from hijacking pdf handler?  In general I prefer to use the browser pdf handler. However, in some cases I need the full featureset of Acrobat.  The problem is that every single time I "open with" Acrobat, it is hijacking the association. "Tell me if Admobe Acrobat is not my default.." is unchecked and ofcourse not clicking the "Select as default PDF handler" button. 

Good day Pros,               I am looking to toggle three different boxes. The toggle box is "Unhide" and it unhides two other boxes. "Convening Date" and "Graduating Date". I have a third box "CT NOTE" that hides these two boxes. I want the Unhide box to hide both the Convening Date and Graduating Date boxes and Show the CT NOTE box. When clicked it would do the reverse. It will unhide both text boxes but hide the CT NOTE box. Is this possible?

Ich habe Acrobat Pro 2017. Mit dem Start erscheint seit ein paar Wochen „Leider ist ein Fehler aufgetreten“ mit dem Hinweis, mich an meinen Administrator zu wenden. Daneben kommt die Mitteilung: „Ihre Testversion ist abgelaufen. Kaufen“ Nun war Acrobat Pro 2017 zwar kein Abo aber auch keine Testversion. Leider kann ich PDFs nicht mehr erstellen und bearbeiten. („Diese Funktion ist in ihrer aktuellen Lizenz nicht enthalten“)Ich habe einiges ohne Erfolg versucht (Reparatur, localAppData für Acrobat gelöscht, Konto mit Prod.-Code geprüft). Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen? Meinen Dank im Voraus.Ferdinand

I am currently working with agencies and need to submit documents signed using Adobe Sign electronic signatures. Once signed, the files become encrypted and cannot be modified. After submission, the agency reviews the documents and either approves or rejects them, often stamping and signing the documents. However, this process is currently hindered by the signature panel and encrypted files.Could you please provide guidance on how to use Adobe Sign for signing these official documents, ensuring that the agency can stamp and sign them after review?

Hi Adobe Team and Community,I’d like to suggest a new feature that could improve how we share PDFs in Adobe Acrobat.Please consider adding:A "Share to WhatsApp" option for WhatsApp Desktop/Web usersA "Send via Gmail" feature that opens Gmail directly with the document attachedThis would save a lot of time for users who rely heavily on WhatsApp and Gmail for both personal and professional communication.It would be even better if this feature could be included in the free version of Acrobat.Thanks for considering this!

Bookmarks are an amazing feature of PDF files, but there are two things that drive me crazy with them (and I use them ALOT) so if anyone has any useful workarounds that they can share, I would appreciate it. I'm a Specification Writer in the Architectural field, so I edit documents in MS Word, print to PDF and combine in Acrobat. It is not uncommon that the volumes I create are 120 or more files combineed into 1. I also love that Acrobat creates a bookmark for the first page of each file that is combined HOWEVER (and this is what drives me crazy) it automatically sets the zoom level of  the bookmark to "Page Width". Have set the default level of bookmarks to Fit Page, but amazingly this seems to only apply to bookmarks that the user creates manually! Really Adobe? Give me a break!! Of all of the other preferences you can set (of course finding a perference is another story and 90% of which I don't have a use for) surely something like this could be added as there seem to be o

Hello! I have the following example: First Last, CFP® with the subscript appearing correctly in the dropdown menu. While it appears correctly in the dropdown menu, when selected, it does not remain a subscript but becomes the font size of the name.  Is there anything I can do to correct that? Thank you so much for your help!

I'm using Acrobat Pro on a MacBook Pro.I have a file that I frequently open, edit, print and then close without saving. However, when I made the switch from a PC to a MacBook I noticed immediately that there was an issue. When I click "Don't Save" it will save my changes anyway. This has forced me to undo all of my edits back to the original state and then close the document so that it doesn't overwrite my original. I have contacted support multiple times but for some reason it NEVER behaves this way while they are watching. I went through everything with them yesterday, couldn't replicate the issue and then today its right back to being a problem. I'm beyond frustrated with this issue and I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting it. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello, I am experiencing an issue where comments disappear during the conversion from PDF to PDF/A format.After testing, I noticed that comments remain intact after the conversion if they are locked.My question is: Is there a way to automatically lock comments? Is there a setting for this in the preferences?

I encourage others to share your experiences in remediating PDFs for ISO 14289 (PDF/UA) compliance. Let’s learn from each other’s experiences.   I am working with documents that previously passed the Acrobat checker and PAC 1.3 along with manual checks for WCAG 2.0 compliance – so, the documents were as accessible as I knew how to make them. Below are the errors that I am seeing quite a bit from the new PAC2 PDF/UA-compliance checker. The “fix” is not necessarily the best, just what I have found that seems to work. I am using Acrobat Pro XI.  error: Font not embeddedfix: Tools > Print Production > Preflight > PDF fixups > Embed fontscomment: This does not always work as some font licenses do not allow embedding. If you encounter non-embeddable fonts hopefully you have the source document and can use a different font.error: Tagged content present inside an Artifactfix: Open the Content pane. Open Artifact containers to find any content containers hiding inside. Dra

The original question is locked, as if solved. https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/possible-to-permanently-disable-the-quot-this-appears-to-be-a-long-document-quot-popup-header/m-p/15282885 I have the same question. I have AI turned off completely, becuase why in the great green **** would I want AI in Acrobat? (Or pretty much anywhere else, but I digress.)The same banner pops up for me every time, telling me that a 4-page PDF of mostly images and diagrams is "long" and needs a summary.  Please help me disable this garbage.

I wonder when Adobe will update Acrobat so you can select text like every other program out there... By this I mean double clicking a word, and holding down on the second click, and then dragging which will highlight word-by-word. This is a universal way of selecting text, but Adobe doesn't have it for Acrobat. Odd. 

Hello, I am trying to resolve an issue with an end user of mine where they attempt to print to pdf on one of their solidwork drawings. When they try to print to pdf, it will freeze, and get stuck trying to create the pdf of the Solidworks part. I tried a full uninstall, and reinstall of Adobe which didn't work as the same issue would come back after a day. I made sure to update to the latest version of 2025 Adobe acrobat pro, but now we are having issues where the pdf refuses to save and doesn't generate a file.  Solidworks support tried to look into it but they couldn't figure it out from the solidworks side of things.
