Acrobat create a document based on someone else’s document.  Why do you allow this?

Hola! Tengo Adobe pro y cada vez que lo abro se me tilda de esta manera. Ya lo desinstalé y volví a instalar, pero me sigue haciendo lo mismo. Lo utilizo mucho para poder estudiar en la universidad, por eso uso la versión paga y encima me anda mal. 

Hello, I would like to change the ICC profile of a PDF document. Is this possible, and how can it be done, without starting from an Indesign or Illustrator file?

How can I convert an outlook email with an attachment to a pdf? I want one pdf with the email and attachment. Not a portfolio

Hi, I’m preparing my documents for an NBI online appointment, and I noticed that my scanned ID looks a bit blurry when viewed in Adobe Acrobat. Since these documents are used for verification, I want to make sure everything is clear and acceptable.I scanned it using my phone, but the text and photo still don’t look sharp enough after opening the file. I also checked some details about NBI clearance requirements but still want to know if Acrobat has any option to improve scan quality.Are there any recommended settings (resolution, format, etc.) to make documents more readable for verification?Thanks! [link removed by moderator]

I have recently switched from NitroPDF to Adobe Acrobat DC and I'm starting to question why. So much more difficult than Nitro and Soda PDF, and more expensive! I am trying to add an image to pdf, using the Add Image>Select>open method, to which Adobe responds with a box that says "opening image file as Adobe pdf" (God only knows why !)I then get an error box - "Unknown error" and it then says "the selected image could not be converted and placed in the document"I have tried this with .jpg and .png imagesWhy is this not working?

Hello All,I'm currently running into an issue with Acrobat DC's Fill and Sign feature for signing a document where any time I use fill and sign and type in ACC it crashes the entire program. I've tried running repairs on the program and uninstalling and reinstalling and it continues to do this. I'm trying to type in ACC because it is part of my job title but can't because it crashes after the second c is typed. It does not do this with any other AC combination, only ACC. It also doesn't matter if the letters are uppercase or lower case. It seems the letter combination itself is causing the crash. Has anyone come across an issue like this or know of a solution?

I’m completely lost.   I am working on a form that has several check boxes that I want to generate text based on whether the box is checked or not.  Example:A field named “form required” has a check box.  The text I want to generate is: If the check box for “form required” is blank (false), the text output is:   “\nForm Required: No”If the check box for “form required” is checked (true), the text output is:  “\nForm Required: Yes” How can I do this in Javascript?   How do I get the value to update dynamically? This code does not work:if(this.getField(“form required”).value)  event.value=”Form Required: Yes”;else  event.value=”Form Required: No”; And I’m not sure how isboxchecked works either.   Please advise.  Thank you.   

When creating PDFs from Word and Outlook, I frequently get the error message shown at the bottom of this post.  The error message comes in the form of a text file (instead of the PDF) that's created when I try to convert.    I learned a while back that this can be avoided by going to Windows Printing Preferences and unchecking the box that says "Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts."  However, the software periodically changes it back to having that box checked (resulting in error messages again).  Today, the software wouldn't stop generating error messages on the document I tried to convert until I closed out Word.  My questions are: 1) Why would anyone want this box checked?  2) If Aptos is not a common font, why would this not be included in System Fonts?3) Why does my preference get changed back periodically?  Is there a way to make this stick?4) Why would a company as sophisiticated as Adobe default to somethin

I have been noticing this issue over the past few days and I’m not sure what is causing it.We have a networked Canon ImageRunner printer that I print PDFs to. Lately, when I click the page setup button to select the correct paper size and orientation, Acrobat has been “hiding” -- basically it moves to the background and forces the desktop as my active app. I have to alt-tab back to Acrobat, where the page setup dialog box is open and waiting for me.I would expect it to just open the page setup box and NOT move to the background.I did just realize today that, if I do anything else first, such as click the Properties button next to the printer name drop-down, then cancel out of that and then click the page setup button, it behaves normally. But, if I click the page setup button first, before anything else, this odd behavior happens.Just started noticing it this week. Nothing has changed with our printers or network setups or anything.Anyone else having this issue? [Edited typo]

I have Acrobat Standard DC and I was wondering what the difference between these two bookmark icons is 

I work at a professional printer and we use the Adobe Creative Cloud for our file creation. Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator being our main programs for file creation and Acrobat Pro to manage our final pdf files. Acrobat Pro has a difficult time simply opening and displaying our final pdf files. Sometimes the monitor flickers like a strobe light. Other times the image only display about an inch then just stops. Sometimes the pdf completely draws out, only to redraw and then fail to fully display. We have to constantly quit and relaunch the program just to get the program to open and display our pdf files. It shouldn’t feel like we have to trick the program or that it is an accomplishment just to get a pdf file to open. We have tried all of the display settings in the preference panel, but nothing helps. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. –Chris 

Hello everyone,I have a PDF document where I want to remove a specific text/sentence from every page. This is a footer, but Adobe Acrobat Pro does not recognize it as such.Furthermore, I can only use the "remove header and footer" function, whereas the header needs to remain.If I do execute this function, it only removes the page number (in addition to the header). The page number that appears between the main text and the text I want to remove.If I use the "Search and Redact Tool" and enter the sentence I want to remove, the window shows that 260 sentences containing this text have been found. This number is correct.The problem, however, is that I cannot remove these sentences yet.In cases where multiple instances are found, the last word preceding that text in the main text is also listed. For example, the result for the image might show "for example xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx......" instead of "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...".If I select everything to delete, a lot of text that needs to remain disa

Hello Using Acrobat Pro with “Acrobat Sign” I have a stack of documents to be signed by multiple parties and am running into an issue with how to collect those signatures in an efficient manner for the signers, while being able to maintain the documents as individual documents after signing.If I use the standard "Request e-Signatures" I can have multiple people sign as wanted, but if I upload multiple documents through the web they are combined into a single PDF, which means that I cannot separate the documents after they've been signed, as the file is locked on signing, they just exist a single PDF, which doesn't work for filing purposes (e.g. I need to file the separate documents separately, not all in the same place).I tried using Bulk Send for signatures, where I can send multiple documents, but I cannot assign signatures, and it wants each signer to sign all signature boxes, which does not work. It's obviously meant for collecting signatures on a standardized form from multiple pe

Hi all, so I’ve got a scaling issue that doesn’t seem to be answered by any of the questions asked previously and the solutions they came up with haven’t worked. Basically, the UI looks like shit and is difficult to use. The icons are huge, but if I click on Fill and Sign, the letters are tiny. I’ve tried changing my General settings and page layout settings, but it just stays mixed and garbage looking. Is there any fix to just make this go back to the older version like they had previously? Or are we stuck with this poorly coded mess?  Window sizes crop if I’m using my system settings so I can’t hit “ok” or cancel. Can’t use my scroll wheel on right side of preferences window, only the left sideAny fixes for these?Thanks for the community and I appreciate all of your help on previous issues! 

Hi -I need to have table summaries for all my PDFs with tables to meet accessibility requirements. I automate the creation of Word docs with tables, then batch them into PDFs manually. I dont see anyway to create the table summary in Word though - alt text for the table does not seem to transfer to the PDF. Is there any part of a Microsoft Word document that will transfer over as the table summary when i create the PDF? It would save me a LOT of time, as i can only automate the Word doc, not the PDF file thanks if anyone has ideas or if i missing something -Kimberly

In pdf edit mode, acrobat no longer allows me to delete objects.  I can delete images, and text objects but I can not delete lines or rectangles.  I can select these objects, resize and move them.  Coppy and Past them but can not delete them.  I have reinstalled acrobat 4 times and the problem persists.  I have created a new user profile on the pc and the problem was resolved for 24 house but came back on the new profile. Coppying and pasting objects within edit mode also no longer works the same. 

Hello everyone, I’m working in Adobe Acrobat Pro 2026 Enterprise Edition and I’m struggling with basic image manipulation in the new interface. After inserting an image, I need to resize, crop, and reposition it, but the tools seem very limited.Here are the issues I’m running into: Resizing: The corner handles are difficult to use because the Quick Actions popup keeps appearing, and nearby text boxes interfere with the selection. Cropping: The popup also makes cropping difficult, and the crop handles are hard to grab. Adjust Objects panel: Sometimes the “Adjust Objects” section doesn’t appear at all when I select the image. Quick Actions: I know I can disable “Show Quick Actions on text selection,” but I rely on that feature for text editing, so I prefer not to turn it off. Layering: Bringing the image to the front doesn’t always solve the problem when trying to move, resize & crop the image. Is there a recommended workflow in Acrobat Pro 2026 for handling images? Specifica

"An error has occurred. Please try again.""Access token provided is invalid or has expired." I have reinstalled, rebooted, even unsubscribed and resubscribed... to no avail. I have had to subscribe to DocuSign to get things done. Please Adobe, it shouldn't be this difficult!

Hi.I was filling in a form pdf, its nearly finished and one of the lines needs my "signature".I inserted one using the "insert of draw a signature" function (mines a different language so I'm translating it the best I can), but then I reaslied a typo in previous response.But then I realised after "signing" the whole pdf it "locks" and I can't edit anything, and now I have to do the whole form all over again. Why would you have this stupid design? I searched all over the web and all I get is electronic signatures, which doesn't apply to my case.

I have had creative cloud pro since 2024. I went into acrobat pro to edit a pdf today and it said I needed to “reactivate my subscription,” but I never deactivated my subscription. It then says I need to upgrade now and when I click upgrade now, it says I need to pay for acrobat pro + AI assistant or acrobat standard. If I click the “reactivate subscription” button, a pop up comes up telling me that I am trying to purchase an incompatible subscription, Acrobat pro is included in my creative cloud pro subscription and I am paying $69.99 a month already. Why did it remove my full access to Acrobat Pro? How do I get my access back? 

Templates that previously worked fine are now terribly slow updating fields or entering information.However if I open same template in Chrome it’s fine except I can’t sign the document.Running Windows 11

Acrobat Pro stopped being able to remove anything from a page either using delete or cut yesterday. It does not give any error message, the object just doesn’t go away; when deleting (either with keyboard key or with right-click menu) it acts as if you never gave the command, and when cutting (either with ctrl-X or with right-click menu) it copies the object to the clipboard but doesn’t remove the original. This is only for trying to delete objects, the delete pages function is still working fine. I noticed this starting yesterday afternoon, and a Reddit thread was started this morning where five other users (at the time of my writing this post) are complaining of having the same issue today.https://www.reddit.com/r/Acrobat/comments/1vztnqq/unable_to_delete_objects_using_edit/I use the edit function of Acrobat Pro nearly everyday at work and have done so for many years, this is a brand new problem as of yesterday afternoon. I am running Acrobat Pro version 2026.001.21789 | 64-bit on a

Several users in my office are having the same issue in Acrobat as this user question here: Component Files opened from a Portfolio show as blank when opened. Closing and reopening the same file shows the document properly. | Community HOWEVER, for us, closing and reopening the file does not properly show the file and instead shows the same blank page. Below are example screenshots.Component file in a PDF PortfolioThe blank tab page shown after clicking “Open File” in a PDF Portfolio We found that deselecting the “Open documents as new tabs in the same window” option under Preferences > General fixed the issue, however, this is not a practical solution for us as it prevents us from opening multiple PDF files as tabs in the same window of Acrobat. Re-selecting that preference caused the PDF Portfolio issue to come back.I first encountered the problem roughly 2 weeks ago. The Acrobat application is up to date and being run on Windows 11 Enterprise operating system.
