Questions

When several documents are open in Acrobat and I dock the window to the side (left or right) of the screen, I can’t move the window because top part is covered with tabs and useless UI elements so there is no place to grab the window by.

Highlighting text in Adobe Reader can sometimes become difficult due to tool glitches or outdated software settings. To fix this issue, make sure Adobe Reader is updated to the latest version and use the Comment tool for accurate highlighting. Disabling protected mode, restarting the application, or repairing the installation can also improve performance. Proper settings and regular updates help ensure smooth and error-free text highlighting in PDF documents.[Third-party website URL removed by Adobe Moderator]

I do not want Adobe Acrobat to automatically open PDFs when I download them. I know that this can be disabled in Preferences → General. However, whenever Adobe installs an update this setting seems to reset for some annoying reason instead of respecting the current settings.How do I disable this setting permanently?

Hello,I have a question. Currently dealing with a client of mines from my Company that has been dealing with a particular PDF file that has been crashing. It crashes when user is trying to use sign and fill his signature onto the PDF file. I’ve ran repairs/Reinstalled deleting adobe cache for signatures. None of this seem to fix the issue. I saw that it was a known issue from adobe but it’s weird because it seems to just be one PDF file. I’ve tested it with my user with other PDF files and it was perfectly fine.Any solutions? Thanks!

I’m having the same issue today and no updates are available in the help > check for updates

I have been using the same document that was created using Prepare a Form. I input SSN's and use dashes between the numbers. This has worked fine, however, today the form looked different, and it started using a different font. Unfortunately, the dashes disappear after you click out of the box and is blank where the dashes should go. I also put dates and if I put 3-3-23 the form would automatically change it to 03/03/2023 which was a great feature. Now it will not let me enter the date without entering the full year. This part is no big deal just makes it inconvenient. I am not entirely sure how to fix this. 

Hi!I’m running Adobe Acrobat Continuous Release Version 2026.001.21367 | 64-bit.Everything was fine earlier this month. However, by Friday, April 3rd, I started having problems with Acrobat crashing every time I tried to delete text inside a container in the Content Panel.At first, when I deleted the whole container, it would also make the container below disappear as well, but the physical content on the page would still be there and would re-appear once the file was save.Then, I had to revise/replace some text in an H2 tag—not all the text but only some–in a 508-compliant PDF. I had a separate replacement PDF with the correct text and my 508-compliant PDF I was working on. In the 508 file, I went into the Content Panel and tried to delete some of the text in a container and it kept crashing. Over and over it crashed. Then, I separated out the text I needed to replace from the rest of its companion and was able to delete it and then copy in the new text.This is a new development with

How do I make the "Start your free trial of Acrobat" popup stop appearing? It delays things every time I open Acrobat and I will never use it. I'm not going to start my free trial, because I can't do even that without giving credit card info. I just want the popup to never appear again.

I need to overlay two multi-page PDFs - one containing the main content, the second containing a unique label at the bottom of each page - to produce a single PDF where each page shows its own corresponding label.The Background and Watermark tools get me closest (Tools → Edit PDF → Background / Watermark).Both accept a multi-page PDF as the label source, but then only allow a single numeric page number to be selected from it, so the same label appears on every page. If there were a "use all pages" or page-range option at that point, this would be straightforward.Is there a way to achieve a true page-by-page overlay in Acrobat Pro?Thanks. 

Does anyone know how to make the Win 11 taskbar show a separte icon for each PDF that's open? By default, Windows 11 likes to combine together all open files by program.  Looking in the Windows community forums, I fould that we were given the option to turn off that "feature" last year (I'm running build 22621.2861, ver 22H).  So I set the tasbar to Never combine, and it stopped combining my Excel, Word, etc files. Each now shows separately on the taskbar. However, my PDF's are still being combined into a single icon. I know I can click on the icon then select which PDF to work on, but my preference is to have a separate icon on the taskbar for each PDF I have open.  Since Windows 11 does this for other for other programs now, I'm guessing PDFs are being combined due to some Adobe setting. Does anyone know if that can be changed so my Win 11 taskbar shows a separate icon for each PDF I have open?  Thanks! Thx

Is there a way to update a shared adobe acrobat link? I sent a pdf to a client for proofing and they made comments and I want to update the pdf with the new information without sending a whole new link.

I currently have the Acrobat extension installed in Google Chrome, and find it very useful to open online pdf files that I just want to read but not necessarily save. However, when I know that I want to save the file, it would be helpful to download it and open it in the Acrobat app. I know I can do that by opening it in the extension first and then choosing “Open in desktop app”, but is there any way to bypass the extension and directly open it in the app?According to the Adobe Help article “Open PDFs in Acrobat Reader from Chrome”, there should be a way to get a ‘prompt’ to “Open in Acrobat Reader”, however I can’t seem to get that to show up. (The article is from 2022 so the information may not be current.) I’ve tried it both with the extension enabled and disabled; when enabled, online pdf’s just automatically open in the extension, while when disabled they open in the Chrome pdf viewer instead.If there is (still) a way to download online pdf files and directly open them in the Acr

Beginning w/ the update to Acrobat Pro v2026.001.21529 Mac, images/files from xd files are not viewing properly. See example attached (I have more if needed). These are both legacy files created in xd a few yrs ago as well as new files created in the latest version of xd. Users within our org who have updated Acrobat to the latest version are experiencing this issue. Those who have yet to update are NOT having any issues. Images/files do view properly in Chrome. We have experimented w/ every single preference in Acrobat to no avail. Note that I am running Tahoe v26.2

I have had Creative Cloud for years and just discovered that it was what has been causing my computer to lock up so (after A LOT of frustration) I removed it. I still need Acrobat PRO on my PC though and I can only find download options that also contain creative cloud. Does anyone know of a way to get around this? TIA!!!

I am a paying subscriber for Creative Cloud products (specifically Adobe Illustrator).However, Adobe Acrobat is (supposedly) a FREE PDF viewer. I have downloaded and re-downloaded Adobe Acrobat several times and every time it asks me to “Start my free trial of Adobe Acrobat” with the following options: “Buy Now”, “Start Free Trial”, and “Quit”The most annoying part is that I am trying to access a government form that should be free to access for the public, but its being paywalled by bulls**** software. Why is it asking me to pay for a free PDF viewer?

Hi, When I create a PDF document from word, the font Times New Roman is getting changed to Times Roman. Here I use the Acrobat Pro Dc for my conversion of word to PDF.   I found a similar blog Times New Roman in Word documents changes to TimesNewRomanPSMT in PDF documents (Create PDF)  explaining the problem.   Is there any solution to overcome this problem?   Can someone please help?

More precise, how do i disable the “top bar” that pops up for every pdf file i open. It says “This document appears to be in a different language. Would you like to translate it to English using Adobe Express?”. Acrobat is installed in English and the documents i open is written in Swedish so this pops up for every document i open. I have looked in the Preferences but have not found anything. Any solution? :)

My Acrobat Pro just update this morning to Continuous Release Version 2024.002.20759. When filling out a PDF form, I can no longer navigate by using the Tab key.  Every time I press Tab, it opens a comment box for me to make a comment, rather than moving to the next field as intended.  I looked all thru the settings and cannot figure out how to disable this.  This has never happened until now and is incredibly frustrating!
