Questions

I have an Excel spreadsheet with a tab set to scale to fit a single A4 sheet of paper.  My Adobe PDF printer and preference settings in the Create Adobe PDF tab of the Excel ribbon are all using a conversion setting with the paper size set to the standard A4 sheet size.  When I print the sheet using the Adobe PDF printer, the single sheet is printed onto an A4 size page (210mm x 297mm).  When I use the Adobe PDFMaker function with the single sheet selected and the conversion option set at 'Actual Size', the single sheet is printed onto a page with dimensions 396.2mm x 560.5mmn (i.e. not even close to A4 paper).  Screen snips of the above are attached.I have checked every possible Adobe print setting to ensure the default paper size is A4 but can't find where or why this odd paper size conversion is happening when using the Adobe PDFMaker function.  I have seen similar threads n the Adobe Community but now actual resolution or solution.  Any/all help apprec

I have been using checkboxes and summation boxes from these checkboxes, but it's complicated and slowing down my document for several reasons. I would like to try using summations from dropdowns instead. i.e. if "FOC" is selected in a dropdown, this value (1) is added to a summation box at the end of the document so you can see that 'FOC' was selected 30 times, 'LOC' was selected 12 times, etc.Is this possible please? I have done a search of the forums as I did think I'd posted this already but can't find it anywhere and the other threads I have found don't answer my query.Thank you very much!

Hi, looking for any workaround to being able to "number" or sequence page numbering in a footer if I have to number attachments 3A, 3B, etc.  I have Acrobat Standard, and it only seems to give me options for "1" or "1/n" type numbering.  Most of the time when I have to apply numbering, it's as actual numbers, so adding a footer works great.  But for 5A through 5AN (it's happened), I had to type a comment, copy/paste to the rest, then manually change the letter after the number.  I'm hoping there's an easier way, something akin to a SEQ in MS Word.   Does Pro accommodate lettering?   Thanks, Ann

Ich habe ein Formular mit den Textfeldern für Wochentage Montag - Sonntag. Ich möchte die Felder zählen, in den ich einen Zahlwert eingetragen habe um zu ermitteln, ob ich eine 5 oder 6 Tage Woche erhalte. Hat jemand eine Idee?

I have a document ”test.pdf”. The last signature shows that it has been modified, but when I add an annotation with Adobe, the signature shows that the byte range is invalid. Why is this? The last annotation I added was with Adobe, shouldn't it still show that the document has been modified?

Hello:  I am using a current version of Adobe, and I am trying to attach files to a document and usually can click on the attachment icon (paper clip) and then it turns the cursor into a push pin, where I can navigate to the area where I'd like to add the file.  For some reason, I am not getting the push pin.  I can choose a file, but it just loads it into the file area but I cannot add it directly to the document itself.  

I have a few users who are receiving errors when trying to combine files.  When trying to combine files if several are selected the system appears to start combining and then a message will pop up with the file path and state 'could not be added to the list because it does not exist' (Adobe Acrobat message window).  When grabbing only a few of the same files, the name of the file will appear in a pop up (Add Files message window) and 'File not found. Check the file name and try again.'  After much testing it appears it may be due to the length of the file path.  i.e. the documents have similar names and reside in the same location, one file has approximately a 160 character file path and it loads without error, another file that has a 193 character file path triggers the error messages.  The number of characters are below the OS(windows) limit.  Is there a file path limit for files when combining?  Any suggestions on what to try.  If I download t

Hi there! I'm working on a form that needs to be used on ios (iPad specifically).I added a button that turns a group of fields to read only.The code is:if(app.alert("Document vergendelen?",2,2)==4) { this.getField("Group1").readonly = true; }This works perfectly on desktop, but on ios it doesn't give me the Yes/No option, only an "OK" button which cancels the action (tried on Acrobat and PDF Viewer). I also tried it on PDF Expert which does give the Yes/No option, but then the app freezes and nothing happens.We would prefer to stick to Acrobat or PDF Viewer though for ease of use.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Adobe Acrobat wouldn't print some pages.  A message said, "A drawing error occurred."  How can I change that?

Cuento con una licencia de adobe acrobat pro desde 2015, una licencia perpetua y ahora me sale que alguein mas la esta usando y no me deja enrar.   

When I edit small things in an Adobe doc, the application crashes and says the document can't be found. I lose the document. This has happened with all Acrobat Pro versions for at least the past five years, so I'm not surprised. It renders the editing tools useless. Or, if users don't mind playing roulette (they may lose a PDF file entirely or maybe not ), then it's okay.  Acrobat engineers should remove the editing feature if they're not reliable. Or at least add a warning on click that stipulates users may lose their entire Acrobat Pro document if they employ certain editing features. None of the troubleshooting solutions offered in this community discussion (dating back to 2017) have ever resolved the problem. It's beyond frustrating because it's unreliable.A crashed application is one thing, but an important document that no longer exists after adding a comment in Acrobat Pro is careless and disappointing. It creates a consumer trust issue.

It used to be that when filling out forms, the software was able to recognize a box and automatically insert a check mark when the box is clicked. This is no longer happening on New Acrobat. In addition, when adding text to fill in a preset form on the line, you could just click and start typing in a new text box (typically grey) that overlays the pre-existing text (typically a blue box) that makes up the form. But now, when I click and start typing, it has me typing in-line and in the big blue box. This is obnoxious as the line for text to go on-top of is now looking like[_____Money____] instead of [___Money___ ] which messes up the entire form. Not to mention it keeps trying to prompt me to write comments on a doc that doesn't have any comments or need any comments. Where the [T] text box used to be on the little side toolbar, there is now [*comment icon*] and it won't let me remove it and replace it with the [T] text box. But [T] text isn't acting the way it used to a

Hi there, We've been attempting to optimize large files that are output from our xml/text editor. The output file is 245 MB, which is too large for our clients to use as is.When attempting to optimize, Save as -> Optimized PDF, it starts the process but shortly after crashes without an error message.We suspected that it could be an issue with the format of the document, but we trimmed down the document to be smaller, 13 MB, and it was able to optmize the file without issue. We suspect it's a memory/resources issue as it while watching task manager, it reaches almost 100% resource use before it closes the Adobe. Not sure if anyone has run into an issue like this or would know how to start remedying it.Any help would be appreciated.

Hi - I need to get an agreement signed and witnessed. I want the witness to complete the signature box electronically (after the signatory) but not to receive a copy of the agreement afterwards (for confidentiality reasons). How do I switch this functionality off? Thanks!

I bought 2 days ago Adobe convert from pdf to word. BUT I can not convert my document. Then I want to cancel membership. I did not see the option. Please help me How to cancel the membership? Thank you.

Looking to find a way to have multiple pages in adobe that are all hidden by default, until the user of the form will click a button, or select an item from a drop down menu, that will unhide the respective page that they need. example, I am creating a tool that has about 4 or 5 different checklists, but i do not want all of them to show up at the same time when opening the document. instead i have a master sheet where the user will select which type of chechlist they need to fill out. once they select the type of checklist they want, i am hoping that adobe can show the selected checklist on the next page. if possible can you assist me with the appropriate java scripting for the use of a "List" in adobe that will unhide the relevant pages based on the selection. also i am new to adobe so if pages need to be hidden can you assist me with the scripting to that as well. for your reference, the checklists that need to be hidden/revealed are"Personal Check

One site requested additional verification of my signature on a document. I found it possible to save the signature certification document in adobe acrobat only in .fdf, .cer and .p7c format. But the site asked me to upload the file in pdf format only. I could not find any converter to convert these files to pdf, just like I could not find any option to save this document in pdf. Could you please advise me how I could do this?

In the attached file, after adding an annotation with Acrobat, the last signature is verified as valid However, after saving and reopening.While tried to validate this error message displayed:Error during signature verification.Unexpected byte range values defining scope of signed data.Details: The signature byte range is invalid I get this error for adobe Acrobate pro  2024.005.20320 

There is an issue printing web pages from Chrome and Edge using the Adobe PDF printer (which does not appear to have been updated since the Obama administration - it still looks exactly as it has for the past ten years, and still only has 1b as a PDF/A option): the resulting PDFs contain only the T1 font, are not searchable, and the text cannot be selected. (It selects in tall blue lines - see screenshot.) Copying and pasting the text yields only gibberish.There is no fix for PDFs created this way; they cannot be re-OCRred (even after removing hidden text), nor can they be edited with the Edit tool.Increasingly I have seen this in PDFs created by the courts, and the only way we can work with them is to print and re-scan them. But now my own Word Processing department has been creating them, unwittingly using the defective Adobe PDF printer. I have scoured the Internet as well as searched this forum, and, astonishingly, can find absolutely no mention of this issue, which I hav

How to create hyperlink in adobe acrobat PDF?

Good afternoon, I am unsure if this is the correct location to post this inquiry, but I am having a difficult time creating, adding, editing, and deleting my personal signature using Adobe Acrobat Pro. What I have read, so far, is that once a signature and/or initials are entered into a PDF document, it/they cannot be edited, deleted, and replaced. Is this correct? I wanted to change my current signature, which was a practice one, to my original signature. Thank you.

Hi,  I am using Adobe DC professional and since we moved to Windows 10 (coincidence??) when I now open a PDF the thumbnails open by default on the left hand side, which drives me nuts.  In an earlier version, I turned this off, but am unable to on this one. I can do it once I have opened the document, but I have to do it every time.. First world problems 😛I would appreciate any advice, thanks...
