Questions

When I select any tool in Acrobat (for example, Edit, Organize Pages, Prepare Form, etc.), the left panel appears but it is completely empty. No options or tool settings are displayed. This happens in every tool, not just Edit. I already tried restarting the app, logging out and in, reinstalling Acrobat, and resetting preferences, but the issue persists. This seems to be a very recent problem on macOS, because until last week the tools panel was working normally.The first image is from an official Adobe tutorial, showing the Edit tool with its options correctly displayed in the left panel. The second image shows my case: with the same tool (Edit) selected, the left panel is completely empty — no options appear. The third image is just illustrative, showing that the full list of tools does appear in the left panel, but the problem starts when any tool is actually selected.macOS  Version 15.6 (24G84)Adobe Acrobat Pro:Architecture: arm64Processor: Apple M3 ProBuild: 25

Hello Adobe Community, My team is currently developing a highly dynamic PDF in Acrobat Pro to replace a legacy XFA-based form that has been in production for approximately 10 years. Conceptually, the form is similar to a complex tax document: it contains numerous questions with varying response types (strings, integers, dates, etc.) and performs extensive cross-field validation and data integrity checks.Because XFA is deprecated, we are rebuilding the logic using Acrobat JavaScript. Core Requirements: The PDF must function fully offline (no web dependencies). All features must work in Adobe Acrobat Reader (not just Acrobat Pro).  Current Architecture:A typical page in the form contains: 20–30 user input fields (text, numeric, date/time, etc.) 100–200 button overlays For certain multi-select scenarios, users can either: Manually enter a numeric value into a field, or Click a corresponding attribute button that auto-populates the value (Not implemented) JavaScrip

I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro several years ago.  My old computer DIED and there is no way for me to deactivate the application on this computer.  I was able to download my old Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with my serial number on my NEW computer, however, just days after doing this, I'm getting a message: "The serial number XXXXX is already in use by the maximum allowed computers.  You need to deactivate another computer within 15 days to use this product."  HOW DO I DO THIS?  I don't want to purchase another adobe product as I had no problems with the Acrobat XI Pro -- I didn't need any updates to that program.  I signed into my Adobe account and tried to deactivate my old computer but it is not even listed. If this is a way for Adobe to make me purchase another program...I'm not happy!      I   

Hello, I need to disable the grey pop-ups that display alt text when hovering over images. However, I need to do this while keeping the alt text embedded in the document for obvious accessibility reasons. That is, the document must remain accessible and meet all accessibility requirements, but I need these pop-ups not to appear when they are not needed. This is essential for presenting work in settings where no accessibility support is needed, while the document retains accessibility features for other instances. Please let me know how to do this.  Thank you.

I dont know how to report issues but the version of Adobe Acrobat 25.1 when using the new view cannot ocr specific pages in a document and will ocr the entore document even if you select only 1 page. In the old view of acrobat in the same version works as expected and will only OCR the pages speciified. 

I have signed up for a free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro.I am trying to turn my PDFs into a fillable form that anyone with access can download and simply fill in text fields with their answers.However, it seems that there is no option under "tools" to prepare a form. I've looked up multiple tutorials, and all of them tell me to look under tools, then choose "Prepare Form". Yet that option or nothing similar even appears.The closest thing I have to creating a form is a web form, which is not what I want. Is anyone aware on how to find this option or if there is a new way to add fillable text to your PDF for others to fill out?

Help! There is no way for me to biew any files that are opwned anymore. There is no menu bar, no controls, only an arrow and a tiny sliver of a box that if I click it wants to close pdfs.pdfs say they are open but I can't view any of them. Clicking the dots opens the Customise toolbar window, but o access to any other options at all.See screenshot. Running a laptop, Lenovo, windows, all new & work fine for every other piece of software except adobe.

Our agendas are formatted as lists, which often span multiple pages. I've found that when exporting from Word to PDF, any list that spans multiple pages will be split into multiple <L> tags. This is non-compliant with accessibility standards. I'm looking for a way to get the whole list, regardless of how many pages it spans, to export inside of one <L> tag. I'm able to remediate the tag structure after the fact, but it adds a lot of seemingly unnecessary steps and I'm not typically the one generating these documents.

I have a 4 pager document that outlines a partnership proposition. I would like to convert this 4 pager into a professional presentation with a corporate feel. Is this something adobe express can do?

I have unclicked the "show comments pane when a PDF with comments is opened" every time I use acrobat. I always click ok afterward. I close the program, restart my computer, yet the box is checked again. What is the fix for this?

 My stamp palette doesn't open in Acrobat. How can I fix it?

How to enable scrolling by default. I'm using Acrobat DC. Every time, when I open document I chose in view -> Page Display -> Enable scrolling. It works, untill I close Acrobat. When I open acrobat next time, in order to be able to scroll I should do this set up again. How to make this setup stick?

good morning I purchased these products in 2017. They were installed and used on my computers. I noticed yesterday that the program did not allow access to modify pdf files. Access was requested. I gave access and password with correct email but the programs were started in 7-day trial mode. In practice my license is not recognized .... what do I do now?

Hi, i'm having trouble with how Acrobat displays colors. When looking at the file from inDesign (or illustrator too), colors appear as they should. But in Acrobat they appear significally more saturated. I already had this problem last year and solved it by disabling new Acrobat. But after updating to the last version it now happens on both old and new Acrobat.  I thought it was because Acrobat wasn't "applying"(?) the file's color profile (Fogra39) but I checked and it happens with RGB (sRGB profile) files too. I have checked multiple times the color management settings on both programs and everything is as it should.It isn't really much of a problem as the file's color is still correct, Acrobat's color checker matches the values on inDesign. As a curiosity, the color acrobat shows is the same that inDesign or illustrator's color picker shows too. No idea if it has any relation. 

Hi, I 'd like to give a try to this Acrobat version. Where could I find the download link? I mean Pro edition.

We are trying to use the sign feature in adobe but what we are finding is that once we sign locally, when the file is sent to a higher level, they are not able to add their own signature flow to the document.  We thought of adding the entire flow at this level, however that will not work as their flow can change based on certain criteria and we may or may not know the correct routing.  Is there away we can have our signature routing for local and once completed, and the file goes up to a higher level, they can then add their routing for signatures as needed to complete?

I want to list the files in a folder in a list box that the user can select from.  My trusted function code is:myListFilesInFolder = app.trustedFunction(function(cFolderPath){    app.beginPriv();        var folder = Folder(cFolderPath);        var files = folder.getFiles();         var fileList = [];        for (var i=0; i < files.length; i++) {            if (files[i] instanceof File) {            fileList.push(files[i].name);        }    }    return fileList;    app.endPriv();}); The code to be run with a button in the PDF is: var folderPath = "/c/temp/my_files";var filesArray = myListFilesInFolder(folderPath);if(filesArray && filesArray.length > 0) {   app.alert("Files found:\n" + filesArray.join("\n"));} else {   app.alert("No files found or an error occurred.");} I get an error in the trusted function saying Folder not defined.  Need help on the button code too to show the files listed in a drop down or list box that my user can select from too.  I’m trying to cut an

When i am trying to preview a pdf document in file explorer, it now says "the file you are attempting to preview could harm your computer, if you trust the file and the source you received it from, open it to view its contents".   When i go to the document properties, under General/Security, there is a check box at the bottom to "unblock" the document. Is there a way to remove this security feature so i dont have to do this?  I have been using adobe pro for years, and this is new, never happened to me before. Thanks in advance!

I saw some threads never resolved about this.

J'utilise Adobe Acrobat au sein de mon entreprise, et lorsque je clique sur assistant IA, une boîte de chargement apparaît en continu et ne se passe plus rien, j'ai essayé de désinstaller de réinstaller, j'ai bien mis la dernière mise à jour, je ne sais plus quoi faire... 

Back in August of 2024, Patrick39031314z52u asked this very same question with a poor response from an Adobe community manager. Here is Patrick’s text, which matches my issue exactly:“I wrote my thesis on Overleaf using LaTeX and then downloaded the final document as a PDF. In order to submit it, I need to add certain accessibility features to the document using Acrobat, including language, title, and alt text for the figures. The first two of these went fine, but when I clicked Prepare for accessibility > Add alternate text, Adobe told me that there were no figures in the document. Then, when I clicked Autotag Document and let it tag everything in the document including figures and paragraphs, it found the figures but added a bunch of unwanted dashes between words, which I take to be space characters that have for some reason been unhidden (see attachment). How can I1. Eliminate all of the space characters/dashes from the document[second question deleted because it doesn’t match my

I purchased Adobe Acrobat X Pro many years ago and it has been working terrific for the entire time.  Quite suddenly and with no changes a Trial Version screen started to appear and asked for a serial number to activate.  I tried to enter the serial number that I had on the original packaging but to no avail.  Needless to say the “trial period” ended and I now have no access to the product.  Itried all of the suggestions on the help center (Uninstall, reinstall, install trial version, delete certain files) to no avail.  How can a product that I purchased just stop working and how can I get it to start working again?!

Acrobat crashes immediatiely when reading checkboxes and radio buttons with NVDA.  This has been ocurring for at least two days as of August 20, 2025.For NVDA users, this means they cannot read or fillout accessible PDF forms. For me, this means I cannot test the accessible PDF forms I am creating. This is critical to debug.
