Hey everyone, I want to highlight and mark important passages, but I can't select them. I can only select single words and that with a double click. Means selecting a whole passage is dreadful. I checked OCR and yes, I can edit the PDF I created it via word. Checked other documents problem persists with all PDFs. I scanned the PDF, tired editing mode (no words are not in their own boxes). I dont wanna use all the time my reader - that's not why I pay monthly...Thanks in advance!

I am currently working on an account form. I have one drop down called Options with selections "Add" , "Transfer", and "Existing". I have two separate text fields "Add" and "Transfer". For the "Add" selection, I want "Add" field to show only.for the "Transfer" selection, I only want "Transfer" to show. I used script for Transfer field and it works.if(this.getField("Dropdown3").value == "Add Funds"){event.target.display = display.visible;}else{event.target.display = display.hidden;} I tried to the same script with the add field, but both fields remain hidden when I select "Add" in the drop down.   Please help.

I am putting a drop down list in a fillable form that the text needs to word wrap in order to fit in the box on the form. Since multiple lines is not an option in the properties.  Thank you for your help

When editing a PDF document on Mac, trying to add a text box only gives the option of the Helvetica font. I get an error message saying, "The original font Calibrari is not available or can't be used." I added the Calibrari Font to Adobe Creative Cloud and restarted. I went to Adobe Preferences> Content Editing> Changed Font options to both say Calibrari. Let me know what I can do to solve this issue.

I'm trying to have the option from Dropdown1 and the Dropdown2 generate a new set of options that populate Dropdown3. So, if someone selected Option 1 in Dropbox 1 and Option3 in Dropbox2, the options available in Dropbox3 would be ItemA, ItemB, ItemC, Item D, ItemE, ItemK, ItemL, ItemM, ItemN, and ItemO from which they could choose one. Whats happening is, whichever Dropbox1 or Dropbox2 I click on most recently is populating with its selections and deleting the previous ones. I need all 10 to populate.  The code I am currently using in Dropbox1's "Dropdown Properties - Validate - Run custom validation script":var f = this.getField("Dropdown3");switch(event.value){case "Option1":f.setItems(["ItemA", "ItemB", "ItemC", "ItemD", "ItemE"]);break;case "Option2":f.setItems(["ItemF", "ItemG", "ItemH", "ItemI", "ItemJ"]);break;default:f.setItems([""]);} The code I am currently using in Dropbox2's "Dropdown Properties - Validate - Run custom validation script":var f = this.getFie

How can I make the text a user types into a forms text box automatically resized so when they type more text in than will fit it shrinks and resizes so it still all fits?

Hi there, I need to set up a form field name array to check if the field names "8 base 2" to "8 base 8" are visible. If they are visible then I will need to show then next one to show along with the Name, Sig and Date boxes. Also when it shows "8 base 5" Page 2 needs to be spawned. I have asked this previously last week but when it came to spawning a new page it stopped working.  var visibleFields = ["8 base 2", "8 base 3", "8 base 4"];for (var i in visibleFields) {    var f = this.getField(visibleFields);    if (f) f.display = display.visible {        this.spawnPageFromTemplate({cTemplate: "Page 5",nPage: v+2,bOverlay: false,bRename: false}); this.getField("Date5").display = display.visible; this.getField("Sig5").display = display.visible; this.getField("Name5").display = display.visible;    }}Something along these lines.  As always any help would be greatly appreciated, Steve

 I want my "Total Activity Requested" to be the sum of all "Requested Dose" (i.e. fields R1-R10)  Mathematically I'd want: Total Activity Requested = R1 + Sum of (Rx/exp(-0.00632*(Ax-Cal))     (where Rx = Fields R2-R10 and Ax = Fields A2-A10)) Ax-Cal is the time difference between the two fields in minutesUsing the above image as an example: For example R1 = 200 Cal: 11/02/2025 09:00   R2 = 250 A2 = 11/02/2025 10:00  R3 = 120 A3 = 11/02/2025 11:00  The "Total Activity Requested" can be calculated to be = 200 + 250/exp(-0.00632*60) + 120/exp(-0.00632*120)  I am expecting the answer to be 821.  I hope this makes sense.  

Hello... I tried Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorercheckbox in  Preferences, but that did not work. I am using Mystic Thumbs which shows thumbnails of all the other Adobe apps successfully (Photoshop, InDesign, etc) but no luck with PDF files...so I am assuming (possibly wrongly) that the problem is not with Mystic Thumbs.Is there another way to enable this...through the registry, perhaps? Thanks.ssander

Hi guys - not a tech savvy human so go gentle.I am running macOS Sequoia 15.0.0 and Microsoft 365 and Acrobat Pro Both freshly uninstalled and reinstalled and up to date. Every time I open Word or Excel, I get little pop ups for:   'Grant Access File'. Microsoft needs access to the file named "AcrobatUtils.scpt" 'A macro in the file "linkCreation.dotm" is requesting this access. (Screenshot below.)   There will be three or four of them, and even after granting access, closing the doc and reopening word/excel with a different or new doc, the pop ups appear again. I have stopped granting access because I have no clue what I am granting access to ,and it makes zero difference to the outcome.   This only a recent thing - maybe since updating to 15.0.1? But really, I don't know. I am ready to throw the lot in the trash as I am wasting so much time closing the little pop ups and googling what is wrong.   Please help!! I have sought help with Microsoft and they are clueles

Hello, I have an Acrobat web form that is currently called "Assistance Form." I would like the file name (and email subject line, if possible) to reflect data pulled in from the completed form. For instance, if Jane Doe fills out the web form on 2/10/2025, then it should get emailed as "Assistance Form - Jane Doe 2/10/2025." Is this possible? I have not been able to find documentation in the help pages on this scenario. Thank you in advance.

Good morning, I am working on a fillable PDF form, and my client has asked for the text fields to be formatted in terms of the leading (line spacing) in mutliple line fields. I have the javscript written and it should work, but it doesn't. The fields are set to allow rich text formatting. I added the js code to Format > Custom Format Script. I also checked that the form is javascript enabled. The settings seem correct. Am I missing something? Thank you!

Our organisation implements application allowlisting requiring all application files to be digitally signed.The latest updates to Adobe Acrobat include two new unsigned files:MCIMPP.mppWindowsMedia.mppAlthough the files have .mpp extensions, they are DLL files. We have seen this in the past with Adobe plug-ins and have see this be rectified. We request that Adobe ensure these files are digitally signed going forward in future releases. "2/3/2025 3:54:53 PM","BLOCKED","ENFORCED","C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\plug_ins\Multimedia\MPP\","MCIMPP.mpp","5329ce640743bbabb6276abee843c0475a64ae7c918f169ef49351d4c290f0da","msiexec.exe","Not Signed","Adobe Acrobat MCI Multimedia Plug-in","SYSTEM","ALD-757772","NT AUTHORITY","C:\Windows\System32","C:\Windows\System32","services.exe","""2/3/2025 3:54:54 PM","BLOCKED","ENFORCED","C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\plug_ins\Multimedia\MPP\","WindowsMedia.mpp","beddbe83a7fc8ed64098e95902429de34e0acf4a17ceea85f30a0385110a79

Hello. I created templates in the web version of adobe. I am unable to see the templates on the computer desktop app. Any help would be appreciated. How do I edit my homescreen to see templates?  

I've just downloaded Acrobat DC and am trying to use it to edit a previously-scanned B&W document (the document is a PDF large-format scan of a sewing pattern -- just line drawings and text).  What I want to do is delete (or at least mask out) a small portion of some of the detail on that scanned document in order to insert new text or make other corrections.  I can't seem to find a tool anywhere on Acrobat DC that will allow me to select a small section of the PDF image and erase that portion of the image within the selected boundaries, the way I can with Microsoft Paint for example.  Is there an "eraser" tool I'm missing?  Or some other method to select and erase/delete a small portion of a PDF image?  I definitely do not want to change the overall dimensions of the image, or affect the rest of the image at all by erasing a portion -- just mask the section to white.I'd be grateful for any help with this.  If I can't get this to work, I'm going to hav

I have a problem where Acrobat sometimes does not display text, colors, and shapes. Attached you can see the difference. In Chrome, it displays correctly, but in Acrobat, the red box with the white text does not appear. This mainly happens when there are images/shapes layered on top of each other and/or with text. I believe there is a setting somewhere, but I can't find it. Can you help me?Adobe Acrobat Pro, 2024.002.21005

What is the point of having a 'FILE LISTS, Recent' on the home screen of my Adobe Acrobat Pro DC if it doesn't work?  I click on a file in this list to open it and I get the above message.   Then the name of the file disappears.  The file I'm trying to open is still saved in the same place and was not changed or renamed or moved.  It's the same when I want to save a file and try to save it into a folder from AAPDC list of recent folders which has not been changed or moved.  I get the following message: "The location you are trying to open is no longer available and cannot be opened."I've search all morning for a solution.  Thanks for any input or solutions you can provide.  I use a PC running Windows 7 Professional.

So I created this form to help each department see how much each item is before approving the items. Each item can be chosen as each, box, or case depending on how much the staff needs. I wanted the price to populate when each, box, or case is chosen. So if one AAA battery is chosen (each) the expected price would be 1.29, if one box is chosen the expected price would 5.29, if one case is chosen it would be 10.29. Is there a way to do this? I didnt know if i should do a drop down or have the staff type in the response. Please see attachment.
