I was using Acrobat to create fillable forms. Its a breeze with it and great options. I have successfully create a few forms for our HR group. I was creating yet another one ( in prepare form) and about to add an action to a button when I noticed that the "execute menu item" choices dialogue box was empty. It was populated last week and not is empty. Is there anyway I can repair or troubleshoot it so the choices are populated again?ThanksMH

Since converting our individual licenses for Acrobat Pro to a team account I am no longer able to locate the settings/signature preferences that allow us to force recipients to use the "Draw" signature option to handwrite their signature.  Is there a way to force the "Draw" signature option in an Acrobat Pro team account?  

I have a signed document, but Adobe indicates that the byterange is invalid. This is because the document has a structural error, which Adobe fixes in memory, causing the byterange to not match. I had the same problem in a previous document, and it was due to missing spaces in the Xref lines, but in this case, I haven't been able to find the problem.Any recommendations on what it could be, or what tool I could use to analyze it that would be more specific about the error, since I've tried Acrobat and QPDF without success

I'm seeking assistance creating a custom label which includes autmatically filling in that days Julian Date (L5106 for example) and then a separate field which contains an expeiration date 420 days from that day. I've used the below script in previous labels for the expiration date, but have never calculated a Julian date. Any assitance would be much appreciated!  Validation Script:var expFld = this.getField("Expiration");if (event.value != "") { // check if populated else script will fail.    var d = util.scand("mm/dd/yy", event.value); // gets selected date from "Today" field    var DateNextYear = new Date(d.getTime());    DateNextYear.setDate(d.getDate() + 420);    expFld.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yy", DateNextYear); //assign future date to "Expiration" field} else expFld.value = ""; Javascript Code:var f = this.getField("Today");f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yy", new Date());

I feel like I know the answer already butWhen you covert to PDF from mail merge if you have 150 pages they save as "PDFMail Merge 1501" and then saving them using address' or another identifier is a painful process.Is there a way of them converting saving using a field name to make it easier rather than a laborious process of re-saving them all?

I've set up a template document which has some required fields in it for the signer (participant 1). I've set them all to participant 1 only. I also have a few  (not-required) fields which are to be prefilled by me. However when I try to send the document, it is requiring me to complete all the required fields despite them being set to participant 1, and won't let me send the document to said participant without completing them. Not sure what I'm misisng. Any help would be appreciated.

When I added personal images to my pictures folder and mistyped the name, I saw that there was a lock on the folder from AdobeCollabSync.exe on this folder.Why is adobe looking at my images, why is this process which appears to be syncing to some cloud?I have not given Adobe any permissions, specially since I don't have an account logged in to Acrobat Reader. What is this? It appears to be an invasion of privacy, in my opinion.Why does AdobeCollabSync look through pictures? What is it doing? Why was it installed in the first place!? To which account is it syncing to if I'm not logged into Reader?

Editing a pdf on acrobat web on firefox and I cant seem to find the "timeline or version history button anywhere

Hello,  I was browsing through my Acrobat Pro and noticed the benefits of partners from numerous platforms, including discounts.  However, when I go to redeem the discounts, Adobe does not provide the discount codes and will tell you to contact the partners ie (zoom 20% discount) (dropbox 5o%) (WeTranser 40 %) When I contact the partners, they are not aware of this discount partnership!  Has anyone else been successful in redeeming their benefits? The prices listed on the photo is the normal pricing~ no code is provided by either companies!! 

This sounds like a dumb question, and before today I would have thought so too. Basically, I'm looking to edit the page labels in a PDF so the first page has a blank label, the first 3 are i, ii, and iii, and then proper numbering starts. Before today, I've had no issues with this. Right click on the page thumbnail, labels, change the label. Sorted. Now, though, there is no Labels option, and clicking "Organise Pages" takes me to a browser site that still won't let me do what I want to do. I'm pulling my hair out over this, so hoping someone can help.  

Hey Leute,seit dem letzten Update in Acrobat Pro und im Reader "wackelt" es immer kurz kurz wenn man von einem Dokument zum anderen über die Registekarten wechselt. Schätze mal das soll ein neues Feature sein oder so... Allerdings gleiche ich seit 12 Jahren Dokumente visuell ab, in dem ich diese auf zwei Registerkarten nebeneinander lege und dann hin und herschalte. Dann sieht man eigentlich sofort, wo sich etwas geändert hat (Dokumente vergleichen kenne ich zwar, macht aber in meinem Fall nicht viel Sinn). Durch das Wackeln kann ich jetzt aber nicht mehr alles vernünftig erkennen 😞Kann man das ausschalten? Oder kann ich ein Downgrade machen wenn ich die Creative Cloud im Abo habe? Danke und Liebe Grüße!André

Hi, Can anyone cleairfy a couple of things? I have the Creative Cloud All Apps subscription, which I believe gives me Acrobat Pro. When I open the programme, the 'About' info just says Adobe Acrobat, not Pro. Are they the same?I'm trying to use the auto generate alt text that is meant to be an option under 'Accessibility' but the tool option on my mac is called 'Prepare for Accessibility' and the 'add alt text' doesn't give me the autogenerate option. Any ideas why this is? Thanks 

Hi all,  I'm adding tags manually to a pdf but they don't show up in the order panel. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. If I auto-tag they do show up, but the auto-tag is not something I can use because they need to be adjusted/modified.

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro (About info below) and am unable to turn off Reflow for a document. Once I access Reflow, the option becomes greyed-out in the menu and remains that way even after I close and reopen the document or exit Adobe Acrobat Pro and restart the program. Architecture: arm64Processor: Apple M2 ProBuild: 24.2.20759.0AGM: 7.1.5CoolType: 9.1.0JP2K: 4.0.2.54782

Hello,I would like to export data from a signed Adobe PDF-File (formular with values) to an ASCII file with a JavaScript triggered by a button in den PDF-file. e.g. Javascript:var DataWrite = "Data XYZ...";var doc = this.createDataObject({cName: "Test_Export_Data.txt", cValue: DataWrite});this.exportDataObject({cName: "Test_Export_Data.txt", nLaunch:0}); This code works fine without a signed document. With a signed document (fields are write protected) following error occurs:"NotAllowedError: Sicherheitseinstellungen verhindern den Zugriff auf diese Eigenschaft oder Methode.Doc.createDataObject:4:Field..." I have also tried the TrustedFunction but this don't solve the problem.var DataWrite = "Data XYZ...";var DataExport = app.trustedFunction(function(DataWrite){app.beginPriv(); this.createDataObject({cName: "Test_Export_Data.txt", cValue: DataWrite});this.exportDataObject({cName: "Test_Export_Data.txt", nLaunch:0}); app.endPriv();});DataExport(DataWrite);&

So, I am working through an estate resolution and got a pdf from a financial institution.  I opened it in Acrobat Reader on a PC and was able to fili in the form and check the boxes.  I brought the file back home weith me and need to make some changes but it doesn't work on either my Win 10 or win 11 PCs with Acrobat Reader???  I can't edit the text lines or make the check boxes.  Is there a solution for this?  And, no, I am not getting a subscription to full Acrobat for this one-time use.

Dear community, could anyone please give me a clue how to solve this problem?It is about a book for learning French as a foreign language, it is aimed at mother tongue English students. My task is to make this book accessible. The main language of the document is English, the second language is French.In this book there are several vocabulary lists. Each word and its translation are in the same paragraph: they have the same paragraph style in InDesign but the translation (English) has a character style applied. Through the 'Object Properties Pane' in AcrobatPro, I'm try to designate the FRENCH language to the specific words, but it doesn’t work, unfortunately. As both words belong to the same paragraph it seems that these could be read (assistive technologies) either in English or in French. Is there a way in Acrobat Pro to split the paragraph and make possible to assign a second language for the words in French?I really hope there is a solution …&nbs

Recently I am having issues converting my pptx files to pdf.  I'm on Windows 7, Powerpoint 2007 and have tired both Acrobat 10.1.2 as well as Acrobat 9.5.When I choose save as PDF from Powerpoint, it publishes BUT, many of the images (created in powerpoint with clip art and shapes) are disappearing from the PDF.  Some of my pptx files have converted without issue (using the combination of pptx & Acrobat 10.1.2)  - however, if I go back in an make even a simple change (even to text) it will NOT convert to PDF accurately - once again images go missing and I get an error message.I have tried repairing my Acrobat - that didn't change the results. I also tried going to an earlier version of Acrobat reader and that didn't work either.  I even uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat, re-started my computer - etc. I'm at a bit of a loss - since I've not had issues in the past?  This issue seems recent - within the last couple of months.  Any ideas where else I mi

I'm a premium member and on my iPhone it will not let me edit documents... it keeps saying I need a subscription, so I click on buy subscription and then it proceeds to tell me what I already know... that I already have a subscription!  Then it starts doing the thinking circle thingy and never stops.  I have to exit out of the app to get it to stop.  I've tried deleting the app and re downloading it, still same issue.  I need help to fix this!
