This is an odd problem to explain, so bear with me. Here's the point-form general idea ... open PDF File1 (opens in maximized window)minimize File1 window & set desired size for that windowclose Acrobat while in the minimized windowopen PDF File2 (opens as expected in desired-size minimized window just set)maximize File2 windowopen PDF File3 (opens as expected in maximized window)minimize File3 window ... does NOT go to desired size as set for File1, but a minimized size from some previous sessionThat's the best I can describe the issue. Essentially, the ideal minimized size I want (per File1 setting on close) just won't "keep". Acrobat keeps reverting back to a prior minimized-window size I had set months ago. And I can't get it to "forget" that size, and stick with the one I want.  I've attached two screenshots to show the "desired" minimized size (aaa), and the one that keeps coming on opening any subsequent file (bbb). The only clue I have is that

We are using a LIMS to generate a specific report. However, the report software (Crystal Reports) is unable to correctly add page numbers, as the report contains cross tab tables that will span > 2 pages. Is there a way via the command line to call Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit the pdf and add the page numbers? With a user interacting with the Acrobat, there are pagination functions available to add the page number and total pages, i.e. Page X of Y.  We plan to apply this soltuion on a server so multiple users generating the reports from the LIMS would all have the same functionality. Thanks for the help

Buenos díasTenemos un problema que solo nos sucede con la version de pago Adobe DC. Al ir a firmar un documento digitalmente se bloquea. O se queda la aplicacion traslucida como si fuese a intentar abrir el certificado a seleccionar, o aparece un error como que ha de reparase la aplicacion. Si se desinstala, funciona la primera vez, luego ya se bloquea. Sin embargo, con el Reader no sucede esto. Alguna solucion o pista?Gracias. 

Get error message "The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder." Preview is NOT enabled in File Explorer.Nobody else has the PDF open.Closing File Explorer or changing to a location other than where the PDF is saved allows the PDF to be saved. (This is not a practical solution though).Using Save As to save over the existing PDF works. I have seen this issue pop up from posts as far back as 2020 but know-it-alls scream turn of Preview in File Explorer, but as stated above, Preview is not enabled. What is the solution, Adobe?

Hello. Since the latest update I am now unable to send the documents I need signed away to people. I can go through all other steps such as filling in the document and adding places for signatures, but nothing happens when I click the "Send" button.  I don't know what to do anymore... I haven't seen anyone else with this problem and all my systems are updated. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I have to remediate a number of PDF maps for which I do not have the source document. The design fails many of the accessibility checks (color, design, etc) so I'm moving things around to create a better format. If I move the map legend, the text in the icons disappears. They also disappear if I try to fix the reading order to meet the accessibility requirements. I have tried moving the text within the contents panel but it is not working. The only way I have gotten it to work is by deleting the text and re-writing it. Then changing the reading order makes it disappear, but I can fix it in the content panel at that point. This is taking a significant amount of time to do and I have to remediate hundreds of these. Is there a better way to fix this issue?

 These options used to be available but now they are greyed out. I can't find any settings that will turn them back on again. I need the redact tool for removing sensitive information from documents  

Hello, I'm hoping someone might be able to assist me.  I'm in the process of developing a fillable PDF whereby I would like to add a value of '3' to the current year, to reflect when the contract will expire/end.  Currently, I have a field whereby the user enters in the year (e.g. 2025; the field is called 'Year_af_date'), and further down in the document I need to add the expiry/end date.  For the expiry/end date field, I have used Simplified Field Notation with '3' added to the year field ('Year_af_date').  However, upon previewing the PDF, the '3' appears as a default value until the current year (e.g. 2025) is entered.  I have tried everything to eliminate the default value of '3', but to no avail.  This seems like it should be a simple fix.. Would anyone know how to prevent the '3' from appearing? Before the date field is updated:After the date field is updated: (i.e. 2025 +3)I would appreciate any suggestions!  Thanks in advance! 

I just found that Acrobat DC Pro writes too much data on my disk. Over 200GB was written within one day. For example, it will write 200MB when I just highlight a few lines and save the file. Do you have the same issue? OS: macOS 12.6  AcrobatVersion: 2022.001.20112

My first post! I am looking to have my text fields each be worth 1 point, so when they fill out the field it adds into my sum.  I cannot see a way to have my text field be fillable but still have a value? thanks for any help   

How to make the actual hyperlink visible when creating a link in a PDF document? Not just the visible / invisible rectangle but the link itself. For me, the link itself is always invisible!

I am programming some accessible forms. Presently, I use the adjacent text as the Description for the field. For example, if the the field is for First Name, then I set "First Name" as the Description, as well. The problem is that a screen reader will then read, "Frist Name, First Name" (if I'm not mistaken) – once from the text and once from the field description. This seems like it would be pretty annoying to the user. Are there standard practices that people use for the descriptions of checkboxes, radio buttons, text fields, etc? I was thinking maybe for a text field, instead of repeating the adjacent text, it would make more sense to say, for example, to say, "type here." Thanks in advance to anybody who can offer some expert advice.

I previously used Adobe PDF 2020 with my Fujitsu fi-7160 scanner, allowing me to scan and edit documents seamlessly. Adobe would even match the font for editing. However, since updating to Adobe Acrobat Professional DC, I can no longer edit scanned documents. I have tried using Scan & OCR and printing the PDF to PDF in Adobe, but neither method worked. Converting the file to Word results in significant data loss. How can I regain the editing capabilities I once had?

Hello to all,using Acrobat Pro 2017 (Classic Release), I created a fillable form. In the form I have a column with number fields that have the following field properties according to the screenshots:  As expected, the form contains a 0.However, numbers with commas can still be entered. In the PDF form, these numbers are then rounded, e.g. 1.99 becomes 2 (compare screenshots):  How can I prevent rounding in Acrobat Pro or prevent commas from being entered in the field?I am already very grateful for tips, ideas and possibly code examples!I probably won't be able to get around JavaScript.Regards, Daniel Schunk

Thanks to all in advance.I have a sequence action button that I want to abort after answering NO to an Alert answer generated by a script.The problem is that every choice you make (YES or NOT) the actions button go on (it seems a known issue).I tried to split actions in 2 button, the first with just alert script and the second (hidden) with all other action that goes in excecution by the script clicking YES.Bur here is another problem: Acrobat seems does't permit excecution button by script.Does anyone have a brilliant idea?

Hello, I am creating an election form and I would like for the selection that is chosen to populate into a corresponding field. For example user selects "Employee Only - 1.99" the text field will show a value of $1.99. I also need a way to add if a person selects radio buttons 1-4 it will add the amount from box a and total in the final field. Is this possible? I have never used javascript before and I am absolutely stuck. There is a picture below of what the radio buttons look like.  

In days gone by you used to be able to email your file from within the application. Over the years Adobe have been pushing the use of its cloud storage services and made it increasingly difficult to do. Now that facility seems to have been dropped entirely from its sharing option OR am I missing somethign here?  ATM if I click on the envelope (email button) it starts an automatic upload and shoots a link to it in my mail app. I am not happy about this - can anyone help?

I signed up for a free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro because I need to crop a pdf....but I can't get the edit feature to install. My computer is brand new and internet is stable. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing twice. It just keeps saying that the edit feature is installing. I don't even see a progress bar for it....nothing.  Just says it is busy installing (for the last 3 hours now). Any other suggestions to get the edit feature working or installed?

Hello, I am finding that after combining multiple documents (which look fine on their own) some of my text is turning into symbols. All font is the same, just different sizes and some bold. This is in Windows and using Adobe Pro. The document in question is from Tax Software so we dont have any ability to change its fonts etc.
