Questions

I have a pdf that I want to add check boxes to which has 3 columns of check boxes and multiple lines. How do I add them quickly and make them all aligned and the same size? See attached PDF.

My snapshot tool looks like this and it doesnt stay selected. it only copies the area. how can i change it back to the original snapshot tool?

With recent updates, we have found that the snapshot tool has lost certain functionality. Previously, when our staff would use the tool, it would hilight the area blue, and from there we can zoom/adjust as necessary to get the exact screenshot we were looking for. The zooming was critical as it would maintain a high resolution when copy and pasting. Now, the tool automatically copies to the clipboard after highlighting with no ability to adjust the highlighted area like previously before. Now when zooming in and trying to screenshot, they are incredibly low resolution, even after adjusting the snapshot PPI in the settings. This is the same case when switching to the “old” version of Acrobat. Please bring back the functionality or at least an option to enable it, it is a CRITICAL part of our workflow that has been taken away with no warning or alternative provided. 

Hi everyone,I'm working on an online CRS Calculator for Canadian Express Entry applicants, and I'm looking at ways to make a simple PDF worksheet that users could download and use alongside the calculator.For example, I'd like the PDF to have fillable fields for things such as age, education, language test results, Canadian work experience, foreign work experience, and other CRS factors.I'd also like the final PDF to be easy to use on both desktop and mobile, with clear instructions and possibly calculated totals where Acrobat supports it.The online calculator I'm working on is here:https://crscalcu.ca/For anyone experienced with Acrobat, would you recommend using Acrobat's Prepare a Form feature for this type of worksheet? Are there any particular best practices for creating accessible fillable forms and making sure they work reliably across different PDF viewers?I'd especially appreciate advice from anyone who has built interactive PDF forms with calculations.(Third-party URL removed

I have a document that I want to convert from pdf to word. The document is very long, over 1,000 pages. I don’t know if this has any thing to do with the issue but when I attampt to convert the document, I have a column on the right side that consists of lines. When the conversion takes place, most of the time the lines come out correctly, but sometimes the lines come out as multiple underscores which is incorrect.How can I convert this document and have it consistently convert correctly with just blank lines.I have attached a picture of an excerpt with yellow near the correctly converted lines and green where the lines were converted incorrectdly./Thanks in advance.

In my new experience of Adobe, my All Tools toolbar is on the left side of the screen and the Zoom in/out feature and the Rotate page features are in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.  I want to be able to move these.  I want the All tools back on the Right side of the screen and I want the Zoom & Rotate features back at the top of the page.  Is there anyway to do this?  I see how to customize the toolbar, but I don't want that small toolbar.  let me know if this is possible.  Pics are attached in the word document below. thanks in advance.

The signature function stopped working and i get a blocked option. I cannot close by clicking the x.I have a paid version of Acrobat, I erased the program and reinstalled it.

Hello,On this picture, I have opened it in Acrobat Pro, and I have used “Scan § OCR” in order to OCR it, but I am unable to edit the text. Why ?  

When using the online acrobat conversion, it says You can create high quality, rich and accessible PDFs using Adobe Create PDF cloud service. However, the photo image quality is disappointingly poor. It is certainly not ‘high quality’. Is there no way to improve the quality?Also these days, if you install the mac version of Acrobat pro to allow you to create pdfs directly from Powerpoint, these is no way to adjust quality? The ‘settings’ just take you to a pointless window that advertises the underwhelming Adobe creative pdf cloud service, which I have already established is not great quality.

We export formatted PDFs for clients to their design via a web interface.All is well, PDF is the perfect format for doing this and I’ve spent a lot of time ensuring all the text and formatting is rendered in accordance with the designs given.However… recently we have been getting reports that when you open the PDF in (latest) Adobe Acrobat Reader… The background images will render at first and then either start to artifact/wipe/disappear as you scroll.These PDFs work practically everywhere else except the one place I’d expect them to be at their most perfect… adobe acrobat. Initial loadScroll up and down a tiny bit or highlighting text...After scrolling OR highlighting text This is a huge issue… we cannot control WHAT version a client may have OR what version of acrobat reader any person they choose to forward the PDF to has. Again, it’s only acrobat reader.On my computer, it will sometimes be working fine for 5 seconds, and then the issues start.Changing the “Smoothing” options in the

We identified what appears to be a bug introduced in a recent Adobe Acrobat update.After updating Acrobat, PDFs fail to print correctly when "Choose Paper Source by PDF Page Size" is enabled.We were able to reproduce the issue on multiple machines and confirmed it was introduced by a recent update. Rolling Acrobat back to a previous version immediately resolved the problem.This particularly affects workflows using the PDF Printer, where the setting is required to preserve page orientation when packaging documents for digital signing.Posting this for Adobe's awareness, as we have implemented a workaround by rolling affected users back to an older version, but it would be great to see this issue investigated and resolved in a future release.Affected versions:26.001.21771 Planned update, Aug 01, 202626.001.21745 Planned update, Jul 23, 2026Previous version working:26.001.21691 Planned update, Jun 25, 2026

Running Acrobat Pro on Windows 11.  I am trying to modify the Adobe PDF Conversion Settings in the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences dialog box.  The selection boxes to the right of the four options for Default Settings, Adobe PDF Security, Adobe PDF Output Folder, and Adobe PDF Page Size all are missing on the right side of the box.  See below screnshots for what i would expect to see and then what I am seeing. 

I’m troubleshooting a PDF created from an HTML page using Print --> Save as PDF.Acrobat reports Tables > Headers – Failed even though the <TH> cells are correctly configured. I found a decorative vector Path associated with the <Table> tag, and artifacting that Path makes the Headers check pass.Is there a way to fix this at the PDF-generation or source level so the Headers check passes without manually artifacting the Path or deleting the tag in Acrobat?  

In attempting to open a pdf file, I receive a message that “A font package is required to correctly display this page”. I follow the link to the “Download font and spelling packages” page on adobe.com & click on the download link for Adobe Acrobat Reader 64-bit for Windows, Release Year 2023, Continuous, Font and Spelling Pack (the latest version available). I download the Windows Installer Package but then receive a message that “Adobe Acrobat Reader version 23.008.20421 or later must be installed & the process then terminates. As noted in the title of this thread, I am already running the latest version of Acrobat Reader 26.001.21662. So I am getting nowhere trying to install the necessary Font and Spelling package. Please help!

I am working with couple of PDF files—approximately 7,000 pages and 25,000 pages. There are no additional plug-ins installed.However, Acrobat takes an unusually long time—or appears to freeze—when performing even basic actions such as:Saving the PDFUsing Save AsAdding a symbol/text annotationDeleting a single pageIn many cases, the application becomes unresponsive for an extended period, making it difficult to determine whether it is still processing or has hung completely.Could someone please advise whether there are any Acrobat preferences, settings, cache options, performance configurations, or recommended workflows that should be enabled for handling PDFs of this size? At minimum, I would expect basic editing and saving functions to work reliably. 

I want to use my Apple Pencil to annotate PDFs in adobe acrobat, can this be done? Every other app recognises my pencil except adobe, though acorbat does recognise touch drawing without the pencil. Any suggestions? I’ve already wasted hours down similar threads and had no success.

I’m embarrassed for Adobe. I’m retired now, but I’d used Acrobat since its inception, I believe 1993. It always worked for me. Now it’s crap. I can’t OCR. I can’t print to PDF. It fails every time. I send in reports. It looks for solutions, but it has none. I’ve had to use free 3rd party tools, but even with those, I can’t get what I need. I have a 10-page TIFF file that I need to OCR and bring into my desktop publishing tool. Not InDesign. I used to use that. Now it’s Affinity Publisher. Whatever. This is all unbelievable. 

One of my users got this error recently when she was trying to convert or combine Excel spreadsheets to PDF via the context menu.  We tried removing Adobe Standard DC and reinstalling it, and then running a full repair on Office 365.  When that didn't work, I disabled the COM plug-in in Excel, but I could not then *re-enable* the plug-in.  So I set up a new machine also with Office 365 ProPlus (16.08431.2242) and installed Adobe Standard DC (18.011.20038), and I continue to get the "An unexpected error occurred" right away.  However, if I open one Excel file and use the ribbon, the file converts just fine.

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with Adobe Acrobat to where when I go to rotate pages that aren't oriented correctly I would scroll down to find more of those affected pages and as I continue to scroll down, it would jump back up a few pages and would need to scroll down to find the pages again. The already corrected pages would stay corrected but it is rather inconvenient having to scroll again to look for more pages. The PDF is pretty large as it holds about 1000 + pages. Im currently using a desktop with a Intel Core i7, Intel integrated graphics, 16 GB of RAM, and am currently using Adobe Acrob ver. 24.

While saving a certified copy I am receiving this error on even 1-2 page documents. Every time I sign a document and try saving  a certifed copy.
