Questions

I have a form in which I'd like to insert a date range, similar to the way you enter a departure date and return date when making an airline  or rental car reservation. Our training varies from 2 days to 7 days in length.  I'd like to be able to insert that range in a single field in my fillable form.  I'd like the output to appear in a single field with a format similar to "01 - 07 FEB 2025" (without the quotes). Is this possible?  I'm using Acrobat DC Pro. Thank you for any help. Sincerely, L1011driver  

Hello, I'm having issues with printed pdf files. When I print the file name sometimes has .pdf at the end of the file name and some don't. So when I'm trying to put them together into one file the ones without .pdf are not showing up even though they are in the folder, I don't know how to resolve this, I have tried the following steps that I found online, and nothing since to work, sorry for the long comments, any help would be appreciated, thanks so muchBrowser Behavior:Different browsers may handle file downloads differently. Some may automatically add the .pdf extension, while others rely on the server to specify the extension.Bank Website Configuration:The website might not be consistent in providing the file name for each document, leading to variations when the browser generates the file name.Printer/Save Dialog Issue:If you're saving the file via a print dialog (e.g., Save as PDF), the dialog may inconsistently apply the extension based on internal settings or metadata in the do

I'm new to Acrobat customizations. In our environment, we receive a lot of PDF files created externally that contain relative hyperlinks between documents. For a variety of reasons, we would like to perform a custom action when a user clicks on one of the hyerlinks. I've investigated creating a Javascript plugin but haven't gotten it to work. A code generator provided the below, which I placed into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Javascripts but it produces a "TypeError: this.addEvent is not a function" error. Is the custom behavior on hyperlink click even possible to do in Javascript? Thx.  // Filename: hyperlink_action.js// Define the custom action to be performed when a hyperlink is clicked.function customHyperlinkAction(event) {// Get the URL of the clicked hyperlink.var url = event.target.URL;// Perform your custom action based on the URL.// Examples:// 1. Open the URL in a new window/tab (default behavior, but included for clarity):// app.openUR

I wanted to post because I couldn't find a good clear answer anywhere. In some cases you may want to redact PDFs that are being shared to third parties and it's common for PDFs downloaded from websites to be password protected by default. Use Case:I am filling out rental applications and they are asking for bank statements. I don't want to share any account numbers or purchase history so I want to redact the information before I send it to them. Bank statement PDFs downloaded from Chase are automatically password protected so they can't be edited in Acrobat. Solution (Windows):Open the PDF in ChromeRight click on the page and select PrintUnder Destination, click the drop down and select See more...Select Microsoft Print to PDFClick PrintChoose destination and name for new PDF This will save the PDF as a new PDF stripped of the password protection. This version can be edited in Acrobat.The only issue for me was that the quality seemed to be degraded slightly. I'm not

When you 'prepare a form' in Adobe, can the image field be set to accept more than just .jpg - trying to insert .pngs but it comes up with an error. It works perfectly fine with .jpgs but it would mean always resaving images as .jpgs as the platform they are saved from only downloads them as .png. Is there a way around this?

Hello - this seems like it should be an easy fix but I haven't found anything in the forums to address my issue.  Starting last month selecting test and scrolling at the same time has become extremely slow and laggy. I used to be able to select and scroll at a quick pace. If I am not selecting text I can scroll no problem.  I am using Acrobat Pro on a Mac.  I am using the latest version of Adobe.  Thank you for any help.

I know re-distiling an Encrypted PDF is not supported. My issue is the fact the Adobe doesn't just print a single message but will open what seem to be endless copies of Notepad notifying you of this fact. 9 times out of 10 this will continue until the system runs out of memory and the user is required to do a hard reboot. If I can get CMD open on the system multiple TASKKILL /F /FI "Notepad.exe" will get things working again until Adobe stops the spam. Is there any way to stop this. I realize what the user(s) are doing isn't supported. But locking up the system isn't a suitable response.

Hey Team, Everytime i try to add a page to a pdf from another pdf, i get an error code "Bytes Not Ready". I have closed program and restarted computer and same error. Any assistance? 

Windows 11 Enterprise Build 22621.1848Microsoft® PowerPoint® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2304 Build 16.0.16327.20324) 64-bit Adoba Acrobat Pro Version 2023.003.20215 64-bit Trying to create a PDF file from MS Office document (usually Powerpoint, but also in Word, Excel) using "Save as Adobe PDF", I often get a dialog titled "Adobe PDFMaker" with the message "Adobe PDFMaker needs to save the file before continuing. Do you want PDFMaker to save the file and continue?" If the file is indeed not saved, then clicking "Yes" saves the file and proceeds to select the PDF file name and location.However, this often happens even if I did save the file right before going to "Save as Adobe PDF", and in these cases, clicking "Yes" just closes the dialog without generating a PDF. When that happens, it persists no matter how many times I save the document.For a long time, the only resort I had was to close the file and re-open it, and then a PDF can be generated with no message. It's an a

Posted here earlier today - but it seems to have vanished ! I have a number of identical documents each with 3 boxes that need a person to sign. How can i add the signature box, title and name fields to each one simultaniously rather than 1 at a time. 

I have no idea what Adobe is doing, but their monopoly position over the past few decades has negatively impacted the quality and stability of their programs, account licenses, helpdesk chatbot, helpdesk agents, and PDF handling for printing. As a professional, it's become nearly impossible to work comfortably with these issues. This morning, I chatted with the helpdesk again about a problem. In November, a helpdesk employee and I canceled one license for renewal. I asked six times if it was correct, and each time I was assured it was. From January 1st, I was supposed to have one less license. To my great surprise, I received an invoice today that still included that one license, meaning it wasn't canceled! Instead of offering a solution, the representative suggested a new offer. No, I just want one license to be canceled immediately! What happened to the days when you could get help in your own language? Now, you have to explain your problem six times in a chat and still don

I frequently run compares on multipage documents and appreciate the side-by-side view. When scrolling through, I would like to keep the pages aligned, but they will often become unsynchronized (in an attempt, I suppose, to show me where it interprets content has gone). Is there a way to lock page synchronization as I scroll through a document?

I have a PDF whose properties say it was produced by "Adobe Acrobat 9.3 Paper Capture Plug-in".  (The PDF version is "1.7, Adobe Extension Level 8 (Acrobat X)".  As I understand it, the paper capture plug-in generates a bit-map which can't be searched (quote from the plug-in help: "The resulting file is a PDF Image Only file—that is, a bitmap picture of the pages that can be viewed in Acrobat but not searched." However, I am able to extract text from this PDF without using OCR.  So what is going on?

How do I add a background fill and border to a comment text box in the new Acrobat? In the previous version, you could right click and change it in properties, but I can't seem to right click without it selecting the text.

Hi everyone, Can't seem to figure this out. I will leave comments or sticky notes in a certain file, but when I save and reopen or send to team members, the file is flattened leaving the sticky note icon with no comments. I have tried many things. This only happens for a few of my files. Any way to fix this? Thanks,

Je travaille sur MacOs. Je travaille sur des présentations PPT (dernière version de PowerPoint) et j'essaie d'exporter ou sauvegarder en PDF, mais les polices ne sont pas converties totalement fidèlement. Elles ressemblent mais sont plus fines. Pourtant elles sont bien installées dans le Livre des polices. J'ai testé save as, export as, créer le PDF depuis Adobe Acrobat. Rien ne donne exactement le bon rendu. Avez vous une idée ? (Pour info, sur cet exemple on parle des Quattrocento Sans et Aptos).  Merci !

Hi everyone, I am trying to install a feature Restricted license to Acrobat Pro with no luck.

I have inherited an Adobe form and to my chagrin, I could not find anyone in my organization who can help me. Hoping someone here can help me. When I scan the expiration barcode, it reads something like this: &>0253652359. What I need is a script to convert that to the expiration date in the form. I need the script to remove the &>, convert the 025 to the year (e.g. 2025), the Julian date to a month and date (e.g. 365 to 31 DEC) and the 2359 to a time (e.g. 2359 to 23:59).I tried ChatGPT for help but what was proposed did not work. Can anyone help?

I also tried downloading and installing plugin / patch update, but can't find the app to replace it with .

Does anyone have a soloution that works for the "Not Responding" issue? Adobe can't open a 2 page blueprint without crashing. I have tried just about everything in this form.

Good Day I've had Adobe Acrobat Pro for a while now and normally get charged on the 3rd of every month. This was the case for the month of Feb, however it isn't being reflected in my app. It also doesn't say anything under plans and payment, nothing in orders and invoices or in plans. Please can someone help me?

I need the month names in my date field to be in French as the remainder of the form has been translated from English to French. Any suggestions?

I am using Acrobat XI and suddenly it will not let me place a signature in the pdf. It is asking me to drag out an area where I would like my signature to appear. I have never signed my files this way so wondering how to change back?

Has anyone encountered the issue of pdf forms not opening as a fillable form? Is there a set of steps that I should inform our users of if they choose to open the form on their iPad?

I have figures alternate text errors. When I fix them and check the accessibility again they are fixed but then show up as nested alternate text errors. If I remove the alternate text from those erros are fixed and they become figures alternate text errors again. I fon't have any <Figures> nested instead of other <Figures> tags. I just have a single element inside of each <Figures> tag. See attached image. Anyone have any advice?
