Questions

I entered this as an answer to a question elsewhere but I suppose this is something many would like to know since there's no good built-in way to do it. So here it is again:What you need to do is to add a simple javascript to Acrobat that creates a new meny option. Here's how:Open a text editor and paste this into it:function PageSize(){var aRect = this.getPageBox("Trim");var width = aRect[2] - aRect[0];var height = aRect[1] - aRect[3];app.alert("Trim: " + Math.round(width*0.3528) + " mm x " + Math.round(height*0.3528) + " mm");}app.addMenuItem ({cName: "Show trim size", cParent: "File", cExec: "PageSize()" });Then you save the file as something like trimsize.js on your desktop or elsewhere.Then open in Windows:C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\Javascripts\and copy the file there. You might have to allow it to copy as administrator.After this you restart Acrobat, and at the bottom of the file menu you will find a new option for showing the trim size.The path will be

I have 2 radio buttons that are grouped and depending on your selection a data field is auto populated from the data in another field. The field that is auto populated is part of a simple yet complex formula to solve an equation, where some of the data is recycled. I had it working for the most part at some point today, just the last equation was kicking out the wrong answer. For example; the last equation would be something like .035x100=3.5%; but was giving the answer of 350%. I saved my progress even though the equation wasn't correct and when I opened it again to work out the issues, nothing worked anymore. I can get the radio buttons to autofill correctly but, that's it. Please help!?!?! I attached the form and a couple of screen shots. Right under "Remarks" on Page 2 is the formula. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong??

Hi there, I can open the Adobe Acrobat application just fine, but when I open a PDF it crashes. This has been happening repeatedly for over a month. I've tried other fixes and it will work again temporarily, but then the same issue will happen and it will stop working. What do I do?

How can I darken a light scan of book text or at least darken the print? All black and white.Thanks!

All of of a sudden on 1/9 the form fields on my esignature documents were completely blacked out. I hadn't made any changes to the templates I had been using for months. I am using the web version to send esignature requests becuase it's the most up to date and least amount of steps involved. I chatted with Adobe help, but to no avail. When I went back to the old version, the form fields are just fine.  Also, the form fields are blacked out when I view the completed document in Adobe as well, it's not just a printing error.  Any tips on how I can fix this, other than just using the old version?

So I am a print broker and every now and then I need to do some additional prep for print projects my clients send me. In this case I was printing a 64pp magazine. The client sent me a complete file of all 64 pages as well as a single page file for the outer cover to include the spine width. I set up a cover file with their spread on one page and the interior front and back cover pages on the other.... that was my cover file. No issues there. The text pages file simply needed pages 1, 2, 63 & 64 removed - so I opened it up in Acrobat and using the edit pages tool did just that. Then I used Save As to save the file as "text pages" or something simliar. The print, when it arrived as pixelated in the interior. Not the text - just the images. And checking the "text pages" file I see that this has dropped from the original 64pp verion at 158MB to 17.5MB I ran the process again and the reduced file is now 141MB - which is about right and there is no pixelati

Hello,I have a problem displaying advanced metadata of pdfs. File > Properties > Additional Metadata > Advanced Some of them are missing and they are not hierarchically structured : This is how the would have to look :Anyone has an idea how to fix this ? I have version 2022.003.20314 on Windows 10.

I use the hand, (pan), tool constantly and now it is gone. I read in this forum you can disable new acrobat and have the old commands available. Why would we need to do that?? The hand tool is one of my most used tools. Am I missing something?

I am using Acrobat Pro version 2024.  I am new to Acrobat, so my question is probably very elementary.Ultimately I want to crop off the white margins from a large PDF document. I found a nice video on the subject by Erin Wright Writing   at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mINPTO3EhbYHowever I am not able to crop off as much as I want, because there are some text boxes at the top of the page about 1/2 inch above the first line of body text.Note:This PDF was generated from a DOC file, which contained a Header. The Header contained the following.(1) Title of book(2) Title of section(3) Page#These three elements became text boxes in the PDF file, and these are the things which I would like to move (on all pages).Anyways, I went into the Editor and moved the text boxes on the first page to get them closer to the first line. However I don't know how to get the change to apply to all pages.Question: Is there a way to apply the changes to all pages?Any suggestions would be

All of my pdfs were copied from old Win 10 laptop to new Win 11 HP laptop. It appears they were copied and not moved so date created is not original date. Any way to fix? I understand files should have been moved instead of copied. 

My daughter works for a large multinational corporation and says they have issues every day because of Adobe Acrobat not working. It's gotten so bad she says that a friend of hers inside the company said regarding the California fires, "I hope Addobe HQ is burning," and her 2 year old son goes around saying, "ADOBE BAD."  I have the full DC version and often resort to free programs like PDF24 to do things I can't get to work on Adobe. Even Microsoft Edge, which I hate and wish I could remove from Windows, works better at opening PDF files than Acrobat.  No doubt, nobody at Adobe is listening or cares. I mainly wanted to pass on what the 2-year olds are saying, "ADOBE BAD." LOL! Out of the mouth of babes.... 

Hi, my two issues center around AI search feature.  1- there is a search bar dedicated for AI assistant, used to appear at the bottom of pages in the center. There is an option to click it away, but since then I could not make it viewable anymore, and I can only use this bar to ask AI, and the reason is mentioned in the next question. 2-   the AI search box in the toolbar can not be typed in, it's as if my keyboard is locked somehow. Moving the cursor to the search box and clicking over it, shows the caret/text cursor but upon typing, some keys activate Acrobat tools.  I can only type numbers and some characters, for example "G" and ";". It appears to me that the shortcuts are activated and cause this issue. As per my research, disabling Acrobat shortcuts is not feasible. I tried to lock my keyboard using "Fn" and the lock key but to no avail. 

My Highlighter Tool is now turning off after the first time use.  After I updated yesterday, the issue started happening.  I highlight numbers sporadically in columns alot and to keep hitting the highlight tool each time is annoying.  How the hell do I keep it on, until I'm ready to turn it off?  Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Release (Classic) Version 2015.006.30413

Hello, I signed the 7 days trial that Acrobat Reader offer me, then I realised the very same day, that after all I didn't need it. They charged me £8.99 for the monthly plan and so far they have not reimbursed my money. Any help as why please. Thank you. Nuccio

There is a dotted line that divides pages in double page view mode, however I don't always need it, can I disable it somehow? I only found the option to put a gap between pages 

Hallo Community,ich besitze eine  Acrobat Standard Lizenz und habe seit ein paar Monaten das Problem, dass Acrobat beim schließen von pdf´s anscheinend nicht ordnungsgemäß schließt. Es bleibt hierbei immer wieder (mehrmals am Tag) 3-4 Tasks im Taskmanager geöffnet, sodass ich keine neuen pdfs öffnen kann.  Erst wenn ich im Taskmanager den Task beende (meist mit 30% CPU Auslastung) kann ich neue pdfs öffnen. Ich habe auch bereits deinstalliert und mit dem cleanertool alles restlos entfernt und neu installiert. Kennt jemand dieses Phänomen? Kann jemand Abhilfe schaffen? Besten Dank im Voraus! 

When working on my PC, not using Acrobat or any Adobe popup, I regularly get a small popup from Acrobat with a dropdown option with the message: "English with Arabic support". No Adobe products are even running when this happens. It is extremely annoying, how can I disable it?

Here's a message for the developer. Can you add more realistic voices on the voice player, because I see that all competitors offer this but it is expensive. And with Adobe the voices are robotic.

Previously, delete/strikethrough was shown as red, replace was shown as blue, highlight as yellow, etc.Now suddently they are all the same color so it becomes very hard to tell them apart:(In the screenshot you can see comment, highlight, replace, and strikethrough/delete). This was likely a mistake/bug introduced in a recent update. It started happening in both Acrobat Pro and Reader, and makes commenting a lot more confusing.We are currently on version 2024.003.20054 (of both Reader and Pro). A workaround is to manually have the user change the color before adding comments, but having to teach the hundreds of people who will add comments to our PDFs how to manually change the colors themselves is not feasible. Please revert it so the different comment types have distinct colors.

When I tried to print a PDF file from Acrobat Pro on my MacBook Air using an Apple Pro display running Sequoia 15.1.1 today, the top menu went grey and Acrobat became effectively non-responsive. That is, all that Acrobat would do when I clicked on the main screen is that Acrobat would beep as if I was ignoring a dialog box. Exploring further, I found the same thing happening every time I would try to print or do something in Acrobat that, I'm guessing, might bring up a dialog box. For example, trying to open the preferences box. The only way I could find to get out of this was to force quit the program. After chasing this problem for quite a while, I noticed that the dialog box was opening on my laptop display instead of the Pro Display I was running the program from. I have my laptop sitting to the side and barely use the screen. My question is what the heck. Why does Adobe open modal dialog boxes on a different display (screen) than the user is using for the program? Why no

When I'm adding text to a regular PDF, not a form, is there a way to consistently change the font size for the document, other than changing the default in preferences for every document? I have my default at 14, but have many documents where I need it at 22-24, or 10-12. When I click to type I have to change the font size. Then when I click in another spot on the document it resets to the default. If I need to add text in 20 different places on the same document, I have to change the font size 20 times. It'd be nice if there was a way to set the font size in the individual documents as needed instead of having to change the default every time. This is with Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows 11 Pro.

I have a PDF form that works fine on a desktop when email to an applicant. However, I can't figure out how to make it available on mobile devices? My button to email it gets lost and the formatting is all over the place. I'm a beginner and getting the form to work on a desktop (has mandatory fields) took me three weeks with lots of YouTube help. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. I've attached the form as a reference.
