Questions

I'm using forms prepared by a different organization to set up contracts. There are a few different types that we routinely use, some are one page, but another is 8-10 pages. I fill out a lot of the information, then send to other institutions for signatures. I cannot figure out an easy way to select multiple fields and either freeze them or assign them to myself as prefill fields.Looking for suggestions

Hi - not sure if anyone has issues but checkmarks (not image) created on keyboard isn't appearing on our Adobe Acrobat. I'm wondering if this is a bug that we can request to resolve?

Hi team, I've almost got it, hopefully you can help. I have a billion PDF/A PDFs.  Some have e-signature (docusign).  I don't know if they have a full digital certificate or just 'the signing'. I need to shrink these if possible. 1)  If I use Preflight, and check "Check if Digitially Signed"   - Will this always be true if the PDF is PDF/A 2-b format anyway?   - It marks them as "success" for all my PDFS  even when there are no clear signatures on the doc (nothing in the e-sig section of acrobat), so wanted to confirm 2) As above - is there any other way to in-bulk find if there are e-signatures on the file using Guided Actions? 3)  IF I have a PDF/A file, I CANNOT shrink it.  I must remove the PDF/A formatting, shrink it, and then PDF/A it, correct?  Thank you team in advance for your help here.

Hallo, ich habe folgendes Problem. Ich möchte ein PDF-Dokument, wo in der ersten Spalte Namen und in den weiteren Spalten Abkürzungen, die 90° gedreht sind, eingetragen sind, in eine Excel-Tabelle konverteiren (siehe Bild 1). Ich benutze seit kurezm Adobe Acrobat 11. Nun werden bei der Konvertierung alle Zeichen um 90° gedreht und es entsteht eine nicht brauchbares Excel-Datei (siehe Bild 2). Mit Acrobat 10 hat noch alles geklappt. Kann mir bitte jemand weiterhelfen? Danke     [Moving from generic Start/Help forum to the specific Program forum...

I have a form fillable PDF that has 5 amount fields a user needs to enter.  They are each formatted as dollar amounts.  I have a 6th amount field that is read only that calculates the sum of those 5 fields and is also formated as dollar amount.  An amount is entered in field 1.  When an amount is entered in field 2, the amount in field 1 goes away, and so on with the remaining fields.  I have verified all fields numerous times.  There is no other validations or calcuations on any of these fields.  What am I missing?Thanks!

I have the following issue and have found no solution so far: I want to embed multiple mp4 video files inside a PDF file in Acrobat with Rich Media. But doing so only causes the "first" instance of videos to play, which in this case, is a page where 2 smaller videos are embedded. Those videos play automatically when opening the page as expected, but every following page that contains a video requires it to be manually clicked on in order to play, despite the settings "the page with the content is open". This used to work just fine, I've created many PDFs with embedded videos that autoplayed on multiple pages, little to no issue.. If something changed in that regard, do let me know, but I see no reason this shouldn't work with the steps I've taken. Adobe Acrobat Version: 2023.008.20470Videos: mp4 H.264 AAC the videos are sized between 2,7MB and 30MB. I've tried only with smaller videos, but this makes absolutely no difference, still the same issue.. I've also tr

I have a valid subscription and downloaded application to my computer.  Creative Cloud shows that Acrobat DC is installed but it is not.  Uninstall function in Creative Cloud runs to 1% then stops.  Uninstalling and reinstalling app does not solve the problem.

Hello, When we have hundreds and maybe thousands of fields in a form? Is there a way to name them quickly?Especially when I want to give the fields specific names, not random ones.for example:QDM_S_BE_1QDM_S_BE_2QDM_S_BE_3QDM_S_BE_4QDM_S_BE_900 ... etcIs there any trick so save the time?  Thank you

I have search the discussion board, but can't find an answer to this question: When editing a PDF and you click on an image to resize it, you get a pop-up menu with options Replace Image, Choose Image, etc.  The problem is, the pop-up menu covers the anchors I need to click on to drag the image to the proper size. If I click out of Acrobat and back in, the image is still selected and I can see the anchors I want to drag, but this is slowing down productivity. Can anyone tell me how to disable the edit graphic pop-up menu?  (Not all menus, just these pop-up that get in the way of what you are trying to do.) Thanks in advance, Jack 

Disappearing headers/footers using Microsoft Word 2013 "Save to PDF" to Acrobat Pro XI.  Accidentally changed a setting and can't figure out how to fix it.  Please help!  I have tried creating new documents and inserting a header then saving.  I have tried using old documents.  My headers keep disappearing when I use the "save to pdf" function.  The headers are visible in the print preview and they stay if I print to a pdf.  Please help me fix the "Save to PDF"  I don't know what setting I  changed and can't figure out how to change it back.

Hi everyone,Is there a way to make the "Sign Here" flag in the signature box larger? This is the first time we are using an electronic signature on our application and people are having a hard time understanding they can click it to sign. Thank you for the help!

Buenos dias, estoy haciendo uso de producto Acrobat Pro 64 bit, y veo que hay un error que al momento de imprimir un documento cuando selecciona escala de grises (blanco y negro) no hace el cambio sigue mostrandose a color y al imprimir sale a colores; esto no sucede en la version Acrobat Pro 32 bit

Hi, I'm trying to print a large image using the Poster option, but when I add "Cut Marks" and print it they either end up outside of the paper if I print the page at 100%, or I'm forced to shrink the picture to include cut marks. The poster needs to be in full size so I can't do that. I don't understand why the Poster option seemingly adds a border rather than shifting everything a little bit so there is a border included without changing the size of the paper. Am I doing something wrong? Is there no way to add cutmarks without changing the size of the picture or the paper?I added a screenshot to show what I mean. Here I have made the poster into a PDF first.

Hello,I have recently compressed a large PDF file and notice that in the 'properties' section under 'more info/where from' it has a really long link showing that the file has been compressed in Adobe. Is there any way to remove this as it is a massive eye sore. Screenshot attached. Thank you.

Hi there, I am looking for a way of javascript searching and finding the very last visible form field name.  I have 10 buttons named "8 base 2" through to "8 base 10". I need javascript to be able to find the latest visible button and either in the case of the minus button hide the latest one or in the case of the plus button show the next one. I have attached an example of the layout. No scripting added yet. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Steve

No matter how many times I instruct Acrobat "NO - I do not want it to be the default pdf reader.  Also Do Not Ask Me Again."       As well as refuse to allow Adobe Creative Cloud to re-install Acrobat plug ins for my Office Suite. The nagging messages show up each time I start the program. Earlier, in 2019 there was a similar post on this forum.  The solution (then) was to go into preferences General screen and shut off "Tell me if Adobe Acrobat is not my default PDF application."  HERES THE DEAL: I uncheck that options and apply the choices.  But the next time I start, the check box is re-engagedSo can anyone tell me how to stop this.  There is a delay of up to 30 seconds while Acrobat does these checks every time I want to open a PDF, which is disruptive and something that a version 1 of freeware software would do, not one of the flagship companies.

Hi! I've run into an issue with alt text.  I add the alt text in InDesign and export the file as a pdf to Acrobat Standard. 'Create tagged pdf' is ticked. The alt text moves across fine. However, when I insert a page into the pdf in Acrobat Standard, the hover function of alt text (and sometimes the entire alt text!) disappears. This also happens if I add the alt text in Acrobat Standard and then add the new page.If I add the alt text after inserting the page, it seems to be staying. However, this is incredibly inconvenient for my work and team since we need to add the alt text in InDesign regardless, so we would be doing the job twice. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a solution?

Hi I have a colleague (colleague 1) that sends another colleague (colleague 2) documents to sign, previously with no problems. Now when colleague 1 sends documents to colleague 2 and colleague 2 wants to sign, it instead of just inputting the signature when clicking sign, it opens up the box where she needs to type her signature. Colleague 1 have testet it with me and when i recieve the document i can sign it by just clicking sign, as it is supposed to do. Colleague 2 gets document from others as well (colleague 3) where the box for writing your signature appears, but it also show a drop down of names/signatures she can chose from which are not signatures she has added. Some of them are just names of some excel sheets she has on pc. Names that have apparently been saved from previous forms made when booking flight tickets for her famiy etc. Not able to delete those.  Anyone here knows whats going on? I would think that it is a setting in colleague 2's pc, but maybe not a

Bonjour,Je voudrais savoir si cela est possible de mettre des champs bleutés dans la préparation d'un formulaire sur des zones de texte (ex. le texte dit quoi inscrire dans le champ) et que ce message disparaisse lorsque la perosnne inscrit sa réponse dans le champ. Pour le moment, le tout ne fait que se superposer et est illisible.Quelles sont mes options si une telle manoeuvre est possible ?
