What is stemming locale?Every time I want to add a file to my index it says that stemming locale has changed. What have I done to change it? I means I have to do a rebuild that takes a long time to do.

I have scanned a document into a pdf file.  I then use Acrobat Pro Edit PDF tool, to recognise the text in the document.It finds all the text in the document, but the fonts it uses/embeds  have a number at the end of the font name.So for example,  text that is Times Roman font, will be Times Roman-13009 or Times Roman 13009 as the font name in Edit PDF font section.What then happens, is that when I go to edit the text, such as delete or change a word, the new text doesn't match and looks different.What is causing this to happen, why does the Recognise text function make the font name with a number after it?Under Document Properties/Font, it  says  the font is embedded, which I am assuming it says that because my system does have standard Tines  Roman font installed. But having the number after it in the font name is like its a different font. Does anyone know about this issue and how to fix it /prevent it from happening?   Thankyou..

Hi all,   We are running into a strange issue with Acrobat Standard XI when viewing PDF documents sent to us by a client. Some of the text appears to be scrambled and unreadable, yet the document looks fine when opened in any Internet browser and even free version of Adobe Reader. User is on Windows 10 PRO x64.   So far we have tried:   - Repairing Acrobat - Updating Acrobat - Fully reinstall Acrobat - Disabling Document Protection - Adjusting a couple of the options in the the Acrobat PDF printer options   Here is a snippet of the problem:

I'm working on a big digital book with lots of internal hyperlinks for convenient navigation (in addition to bookmarks), and a bunch of tagging so it's friendly to text-to-speech softwares and assistive technologies. I'd like to have just one file with all these features at once: internal hyperlinks and navigation buttons, accessible tags, and reflowable (specifically in Acrobat and not just other programs). But when I try to reflow my prototype PDF in Acrobat, it says I can't because "interactive annotations" (the hyperlinks and buttons, notated as interactive annotations in Acrobat's Content panel) can't be reflowed. So I'm looking for a workaround. Here's my ideas right now for how I might be able to do this. Any thoughts?Give up.Find a way to make it that when you try to reflow the PDF in Acrobat, the interactive annotations are effectively "disabled" or "shut off," so they don't do anything while in reflow mode and thus don't mess with the reflow system.Find a way to keep the

When I use the tool to add a comment, the comment is added but unable to type any text into the comment box. Need help. I've been adding comments to Acrobat for over a decade and all of a sudden it is unusable. 

Hi Adobe Community,I’m working on a project to compile various religious texts, particularly Surah Yaseen from the Quran, into PDF format to improve accessibility. Ensuring these texts are both readable and accessible, especially for users who rely on assistive technologies, is essential.Given Adobe Acrobat's robust features, I would love to get some advice from this community on the following:Optimizing Arabic Text: What are the best practices for ensuring Arabic text displays correctly in PDFs? Are there specific fonts or settings in Adobe Acrobat that work best for this?Accessibility Features: Which Adobe Acrobat tools are most effective for making PDFs accessible? I’m particularly interested in tagging, alt text, and other features that enhance screen reader compatibility.Quality Preservation: When converting documents to PDF, how can I maintain the highest quality of text and images? Are there specific settings in Adobe Acrobat that I should use to prevent any degradation in quali

I'm looking for a solution to batch convert pdf files to tiffs. Adobe converts only to 1-page tiffs. My goal is to have multi-page tiffs. Does anyone run into similar issue and has suggestions? Thank you.

I just upgraded from an older version of Acrobat. With that version I could click anywhere on the PDF and free form type.  This used to be called "typewrter tool" I believe. I've tried various things with the current version, but nothing seems to give the same functionality - I get boxes, word wrapping after a few words, and just general not allowing me to type free from. Is there some way I can just type text into a PDF with the current version?

I searched and found many posts about this but no real answer on how to fix this (or I missed the real answer?).  Running in Windows 11 and I using the current Adobe Acrobat  Pro (licensed). Many PDFs I try to print from websites using the "Adobe Printer" (Win 11) fail. The oddity is that if I use "Microsoft Print to PDF" it works just fine. Below is the error I just got when trying to print a renewal that the site made avaiable to me:  %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% Like noted above, I had to resort to "Microsoft Print to PDF". This doesn't make sense as I pay for Adobe Acrobat Pro yet I need to revert to the built-in driver to print. What am I missing here?

Dear Adobe community,I'm reaching out because I'm unfamiliar with this process and was hopingyou could lend me a hand. I'm trying to figure out how to connect my oldschool printer to this Adobe software, and I'm a bit lost. I’ve tried a fewmethods, but nothing seems to be working quite right. If anyone hasexperience with integrating older printers with Adobe products, yourinsights would be invaluable. Additionally, any tips on drivers or specificsettings I should be aware of would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for taking the time to help me with this. I really appreciateyour assistance.Sincerely,Julie   [Split from unrelated thread]

Liebe communitiy,  ich habe folgendes Problem: Wie wandle ich drop-down-menü-Pfeile in einfach Textzeilen um?   

Hello,Currently I have a pdf layout with blank fields. These fields are filled out when I import a text file. Now, using the information I have imported I am able to create my barcode string. For instance, I would generate the following string: 01034531200000111719112510ABCD1234.The issue now is that Adobe PDF does not support GS1 DataMatrix. So, is there a way to javascript a field to generate a GS1 DataMatrix. If so, how would I go about this or are there any alternative ways to proceed with this.Thanks

Hi, I have no clue how to do this, but I need help to calculate a total amount based on the number of checkboxes with an amount field that the client would input. See picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated. For example, if client wanted to order time for a radio station for a certain amount that they would input, then it would show up in the total on the right. If they wanted to order time for more than one station, i need the amount to be multiplied by the number of checkboxes they choose. If that makes any sense.

The Acrobat Pro AI features worked well before but recently found that generating summaries & generating suggested questions take forever. tried to re-install the Acrobat Pro but no luck, appreciate if anyone can help. many thanks

Hi All, We have a client that is experiencing an issue with Adobe and the Chrome Adobe Add-in.The issue with Adobe is that the Fill and Sign is not saving the signatures. They are able to use the saved signatures for the day but the next morning or after a restart the signatures need to be re-added. There are 3 users that are experiencing the same issue with different documents. We have disabled the new Adobe interface but the issues is still in effect.The second issue is with the Chrome Adobe Add-in. When opening PDF's from SharePoint the default view settings are remembered. It defaults to the smallest view and if the user changes the setting it is not remembered for the next document that is opened. Your assistance in this matter is appreciated.

Hello everyone here at the company we have two certificates for purchasing Adobe Pro X licenses. However, there is a difference in the name of the license, one of them is called Acrobat Professional 10.0 WIN AOO License P (6 units) and the other is called Acrobat Professional 10.0 WIN Upgrade License P PRO-PRO (15 units). What is the difference between these licenses? Can I add up the quantities and assume we have 21 Adobe Pro X licenses?

In the New Acrobat GUI, is there a way to add the erase tool, enable scrolling, and one or two-page views to the floating toolbar—or anywhere else that's easy to locate?

Hello. We use our main ERP system to create "routings" that needs text added after being saved. We select print "save as PDF" an save the PDF'on our C drive in Solidworks PDM. Then we open the Solid Works PDF and find the location where I saved the PDF. I need to to add text to my PDF, but I do not want to create a "form" or edit any of the other text on the PDF. As the attached pictures show, the font is very small and on the far left of the line. How do I make the default font bigger without hitting the "A" several times depending how big I want the text and how do I get it centered on the line as default? Also, is there a way to auto fill the 'work completed by' line based on current user signed in and auto fill the date? The yellow/orange highlighted font on the attached 'screenshot 2025-02-21 105837' is the auto size and location I would like the font to be.  The yellow highlighted font on attachment 'Screenshot 2025-02-21 1032025' you can see is too small and

Installed Acrobat Pro 2020 on two new computers using two newly purchased licenses/serial numbers.  After opening the program, I am prompted to use a QR code or URL to log in.  Logging in using either method appears to be successful, but I after I open Acrobat,  I am presented with the QR code/link screen again. Any tips on how to get past this sign-in loop?
