Dear Sirs,I've a problem with some licences of ACROBAT X Pro.I've bought some licences it and I've used it for several years, more than 10, on all of my office PC.Now, from today, the prgram told me that my licences are not valid, or better, the serial number is invalid.I don't know why because,  up to now it has worked correctly without giving problems of this type.I have also done a check on the other machines and on these too there is the same problem.I have 12 licenses for which I have the codes, but I have no other data, what can I do?, given that the person I bought it from is no longer there?There is someone who can help me in order to restore the correct funcitionality of the programs on all my machines?Thanks in advance

Since 2014 I had been using Adobe Acrobat Standard X on my HP 18 All-in-One PC 18-5107Ain which had Windows 8.1 Single Language as the 64-Bit Operating System. An authorised service centre of HP in Mysore City, Karnataka State, India formatted the C drive on Saturday, January 18, 2024 as my HP 18 All-in-One PC 18-5107Ain had become slow. They have installed Windows 10 as the new Operating System. I was able to download Adobe Acrobat Standard X or Adobe Acrobat 2017 from my Adobe Account. But I have not been able to activate Adobe Acrobat Standard X or Adobe Acrobat 2017 on the Windows 10 Operating System despite giving the correct serial number because I have not been getting the option of Adobe Acrobat Standard X in the drop down menu whenever I am trying to upgrade! Tanveer(Tanveeruddin Syed)

If I have a PDF with fillable fields saved to Adobe Cloud and open on two different devices, can I expect that when changes to the fillable fields are saved on one device (to the cloud) they should automatically be reflected in the open copy on the other device? Currently it seems that I need to close and reopen the PDF on the other device in order to see the changes, but not sure if there is a preference that I can update to get the desired behavior.

Hi thereI'm from Central Europe and when put some special character using "fill and sign" function adobe switches to different font but just for text lines which include special character. The problem was discussed by TNo user here: changing-the-font-in-the-fill-and-sign-function and but hasn't been rectified.I have done all steps which usually are suggested by support. I have newly installed Adobe Reader with all updates (Adobe Reader 2022.003.20263 | 64-bit Windows 11) and I checked a lot of PDF files created by me and downloaded from the Internet.Because more than a year has passed since the previous thread I've mentioned above, I have some clue for you Adobe. As long as I use characters included in ANSI coding space "fill and sing" function uses Arial font with ANSI coding, but one special character is enough to cause Adobe to switch to MinionPro Regular font with Identity-H coding. Arial font supports Central Europe characters by itself, so the problem is selected coding. If it's

I'm trying to convert a Word document to a PDF with simple markup, but it either shows all the markup or nothing. How can I do this, please?

There is a document I am editing and can't turn off the "bold" option in the format box.The text I am editing is not bold and it is a font that is included in Acrobat.I have tried changing fonts and even "adding text" and text still comes out "bold".Maybe it's something dumb but I need to get this document done.

I'm trying to solve an error caused by a drop down list when I request e-signatures. It is a list of percentages for the user to choose for a pension contribution (between 5% and 18%). I don't know what's wrong because Acrobat doesn't highlight the error in red, unlike the other errors I fixed earlier. I've been working around it by not using drop downs, but I need a drop down in this case.The form works great for the calclulations, but I can't send for signatures. Screen shot attached.Thanks,Sean 

I searched for this and found one post but no resolution, hoping someone has an answer for me. When I view rulers the size is not compatible with the document size. As you can see in the pict, the document shows as 11.25"x8.75" but the rulers are showing less than 10". This makes editing very difficult with a lot of guess work. Rulers are set to inches, zoom in/out makes no difference.  Acrobat Pro Cont. Release ver 2023.006.20320.

Hi, I have a fresh installation with Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 and Windows 11. My Scanner is a Brother MFC J4420DW.  Adobe Acrobat shows the first page only while the scanner is still scanning all pages. I'm using as well an older Windows 10 System with Adobe Acrobat 9 - using the same (!) scanner via LAN. The old Acrobat 9 works without any problems showing all pages. What is the problem with Acrobat Pro 2020?  Any help would really be appreciated as the old system is going to be decommissioned. Thanks in advance Mark

I have a mild visual impairment and my job requires that I work with annotated PDFs quite a bit. Below is an illustration of my question.Is there a way to make the text in the Comments List bigger? I haven't yet found one, and the teeny, tiny text is incredibly problematic for me!

Hi everyone! After reinstalling Adobe Acrobat on my macOS, I’ve noticed that the “Save as Adobe PDF” option now appears multiple times in the print settings (at the bottom left). Does anyone know how to remove the redundant entries? Is there a shortcut in the user library that I can delete to fix this? Thank you!

Adobe Acrobat sign-in process is anti-customer and designed to frustrate your clients.(1) I have to click see more to click on sign in with Microsoft. Only Apple, Goole, and Facebook are avaiable on teh first screen. I highly doubt that Facebook is used more than Microsoft, but regardless, there is more than enough room to allow all 5 of the allowed SSO methods to be available on the main sign-in screen.(2) You only allow 2 computers to be signed in at a time, regardless of whether the other logins are active. This is problematic and frustrating behavior for someone who uses 4 different computers (3 desktops), whether working from home, office, a laptop or other regularly used computer. Stop the nonsense. Allow me to stay logged in on 3+ machines, but simply do a check in the background to detect if more than one computer is an "active" user so that you can still prevent lost revenue due to password sharing.(3) The sign in procedure should not take me to a browser and then back to the

Hi, this is a beaten subject, multiples hits on the requirement to disable Adobe Cloud and yet zero support from Adobe, just spent 3 hours on a phone with Adobe support oh my oh my. Thank you for multiple posters on this board - this is how I found feature lockdown information via windows registry, the keys bToggleDocumentCloud and bToggleSendAndTrack This accomplishes exactly what I want - it removes the cloud icon from the interface and does not allow users to save file to Adobe cloud - perfect! But it breaks "Fill and Sign” because Acrobat stores signatures in cloud - now when cloud integration is blocked I can not create/use signature to sign a document.  How can I configure Acrobat to store signature locally? I can use a key bToggleFSSSignatureSaving to stop Acrobat from saving signature - but this creates a problem for the user, every time user wants to sign a document a new signature needs to be created.  Is there a registry key that

Hello all I am using the XMP Toolkit SDK to try to attach an XMP file to a pdf. I am unable to add the XMP data to some pdf file. Those pdf file does not contains the xmppacket, so the "XMP_MethodIntro(TXMPFiles,bool)::CanPutXMP ( const SXMPMeta & xmpObj )" method returns false.

I have developed a form with multiple fields with a a light gray background as set in the properties field. Once the user "Locks" the fields I want to change the background color of the fields to white. Here is the code I'm using: function DisableField(cFieldName) { var oFld = getField(cFieldName); if(oFld) { oFld.readonly=true; oFld.fillcolor=color.white; } }The fields lock but the background color does not. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 

Has anyone used Acrobat Pro to organize files and receipts? I have been using a program called Paperless for Mac which organizes scanned docs and recognizes certain info from the scans for both documents and receipts. However, the company has disappeared and I need to now relocate many years of saved documents and receipts from that software. The good part is they are already stored as pdfs, the bad part is I would probably need to rename every single file unless I find another software that can import the files. 

I am using Radio Buttons to make a certain image appear when the answer is correct. In case the answer is wrong, another image will appear.The problem is that I need to consider the possibility that the user changes his mind and chooses another radio button after he has made a fisrt choice. As a result of the user making a second choice, I have now two images being shown every time this happens.So, I need to insert a command that hides the image as soon as the user changes his mind and his first option is deselected. Can you help me, please? Thanks a lot in advance.

Can is there a way to configure the print settings (i.e. paper size, orientation, etc.) and save this setting as part of the pdf file? I would like the users of pdf files to be able to open the file and simply print, without having to manually configure the print settings.

I did not know Adobe changed the layout. I just upgraded to a new computer and had a difficult time adjusting to the new layout.  I tried the new layout for several days and it was hard to get use to. It covered my document and it took me longer to find what I needed. Having a fluid toolbar that can be moved left to right was a distraction. Just keep the toolbar at top. I was unable to switch back with the instructions since in the new layout it does not allow to disenable. I guess this is a Adobe thing. I had to finally reach out to Dell IT to have them remove the new layout and reinstall my older verision which was only 5 months old. I am not sure if Adobe did a testing of the new layout before putting it out to the universe, but the new layout would not be my first choice.
