Questions

My PDFs have this grid on and I have no idea why it started, but I would like to turn it off.  

I signed up for the free trial on Nov 1, 2026, and was charged for the trial.

I've been developing self-contained interactive PDF form applications for well over 30 years that use document-level JavaScript, JSON objects, and hidden form fields to accomplish the tasks described/alluded to in the title above.I'm interested in whether any members of the forum have encountered a need for this type of functionality or would find a practical explanation of the underlying techniques useful.I'd welcome hearing about other approaches as well. 

Just received an advice from Adobe that they are increasing the subscription price of Acrobat, saying “we hope you are enjoying your Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription”. NO – I AM NOT ENJOYING IT.  Your various UI change, elimination of functionality and some remaining functionality not working, have been a HUGE NUISANCE.   Requested FIXES (not new/changed functionality, but true FIXES to broken items) have taken nearly a year to occur. It is a disgrace that you feel you can justify a price increase, considering the huge number of complaints on your community site.

I have created a PDF that needs to carry out several simple calculations. These calculations are partly dependent on each other, e.g. a+b=c x+y=z then c+z=Total. Now I have the problem that the fields don't always update correctly. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Adobe's Acrobat Community provides members with an opportunity to ask questions and receive technical assistance. However, why doesn't it provide an equally straightforward opportunity for experienced Acrobat users and developers to share original technical tips, practical solutions, and educational information?I recently asked about this apparent omission and received the following response from a community moderator:"The forums aren’t the place for tips. many of us use youtube, but you can choose what works best for you".With all due respect, why should knowledgeable Adobe Acrobat users and developers be directed to third-party platforms such as YouTube simply because they want to contribute useful information rather than ask a question?Surely, sharing technical knowledge should be just as welcome as requesting it.My question to Adobe Community Management is straightforward:Why doesn't the Acrobat Community provide a dedicated option for members to publish original, noncommercial tec

Hello! Hoping someone may be able to help.I've created this worksheet for a client which calculates a spending and retirement budget. I created all of the calculation fields in Acrobat 2025 (Mac). The "Total spending" section calculates a monthly and annual amounts. The annual amount basically multiplies the monthly by 12. Simple, right? When entering values starting at the top left, the first section performs as expected, but the remaining sections don't totally calculate the annual correctly until you tab to the next section and enter a value. Not ideal, but we can live with that. The real problem is in the "Discretionary spending" section - the annual cell doesn't calculate properly until you tab through the cells and enter a value in the first "Social Security" cell. Very much appreciate any insight into why this is happening. 

PDF's I receive are printing with part of the left side of the page cut off - how do I change the left print margin in Acrobat Standard XI? I can't figure out how to increase the left margin and this is driving me crazy.

Hello,I have enabled in my Adobe preferences the following options "Always open PDFs downloaded from other desktop apps" and "Always open PDFs saved from the web".If I download a PDF file from my browser it will automatically open but Outlook behave in a strange manner, sometimes it correctly opens the attachments I sent or I received but sonetimes it doesn't.I download 10 attachments maybe just 1 opens the others don't, then the one who didn't open if I download it again after some tries  finally automatically opens and the others don't, sometimes act weird and random.Thank you for helping me out.

Tengo problemas con el idioma, lo pongo en español y sale casi todo en inglés 

I've recently noticed that it's possible to create a digital ID within Reader/Acrobat Pro which also allows creation of a user based certificate. This also allows people to create a signature as someone other than themselves which is problematic for my organization. I have followed the steps to change the registry as noted in the Adobe documentation: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\Security\cPubSec - bSelfSignCertGen (0) Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown\cSecurity\cPubSec - bEnableCEFBasedUI (0) However the only change is the modern signature UI is changed - I can still create a new digital ID. Any advice?  

Estimados:soy usuario registrado del paquete de Adobe (Creative Cloud Pro), con un plan anual que pago todos los meses y tengo problemas de funcionamiento con Acrobat: el programa se abre correctamente pero se cierra a los 2 segundos aproximadamente... y no se me permite desinstalarlo ni re-instalarlo, ni desde Creative Cloud Desktop (CCD) ni desde el administrador de aplicaciones de Windows 11. Si intento desisntalarlo desde CCD, también se interrumpe inmediatamente...

After clicking on print, I get a prompt to save the document as a pdf. When I go into the saved pdf  and select print I cam only save it again and not print.

Hi everyone, I prepare property check-in and inventory reports for landlords and letting agents in Birmingham. A typical report is 30-50 pages with 100+ photos, every room, meter readings, keys, smoke and CO alarms, and existing marks or damage, all dated and photographed. I need one final PDF I can share with the landlord, the tenant and the agent, and keep as evidence if there is ever a deposit dispute at the end of the tenancy. Right now I am running into three problems in Acrobat: 1. File size, the finished report is often too large to email, but when I compress it the photos lose detail and a small mark or scuff becomes unreadable. What compression / Optimise PDF settings keep photos legible as evidence while still getting the file to a shareable size? 2. Combining and organising, I currently have separate PDFs per room / section. What is the best workflow in Acrobat to combine them into one report with bookmarks, page numbers and a consistent order, without re-doing the whole fil

The Fill & Sign tool is missing from my Acrobat Pro DC.   Ive made sure Im at the latest level and my Language is set to match the OS.  How do I bring it back?

 I have htis problem regularly and in the past an Adobe technician has to fixt it but all chat options have been deleted tfrom this horrible system so i CANNOT DO This.  

I am getting an error when I try to delete a page in a document:  There was a problem reading this document (15).  Is there a way to actually delete the document without having to re-do the whole thing all over again?

I'm running into a repeatable crash in Acrobat and wanted to check if others have seen this or if there's a known fix.Acrobat Version: 26.2.21901.0No third-party plugin is installedSteps to Reproduce:Open a small PDF without acroforms in Acrobat. Go to Window > New Window to create a second synchronized view of the same document. Add a text comment (Add Text Comment) in both windows. Close the second window that was created via Window > New Window. Acrobat immediately becomes unresponsive and crashes.Expected behavior: Closing the secondary synced window should just return to the single-window view without affecting the document or the app's stability.Actual behavior: Acrobat freezes right after the window closes and then crashes entirely.This happens consistently for me following the exact steps above. I've attached the crash report and repro video in zip file for reference.Would also appreciate it if Adobe could confirm this is a known issue.Thanks in advance!

I've looked through the forum's here and seen quite a number of similar experiences, although mostly from 3-4 years ago. Is there really no way to recover the highlights and comments? This is hours of work. Is acrobat really that unstable?

Why are we not given a simple fix to Adobe Cloud storage that we can opt in or opt out?  With all the money your company is making with subscription services your company should have the funds to make this easier for the rest of us to do and you forget why you are in business to meet your consumers needs. I do not want my files stored remotely.  I have my own backups for my work.  I had stopped using Adobe years ago and the only reason I am a subscriber is for my higher-educational purposes only.  So now it is more ardous to delete files that I no longer need after completion of my courses. It was a sad day when Adobe went to cloud applications from desktop apps.  

I am trying to share a small PDF only 307KB via the Adobe share function. However, when trying to add comments to the shared file, everyone gets an error message, Content is still loading. The content never loads, even after days. We have cleared the cache, tried incognito, Edge and Chrome and multiple computers on different networks. The content is still not loading. How do we fix this?

Greetings, When editing a PDF with multiple pages I sometimes need duplicates of certain pages, so a 5 page document needs to become a 20 page one with page 1 needing 3 copies, page 2 needing 4 copies etcetera. I do my thing, I duplicate them one by one, the shortcuts have issues but thats not the problem… out of the blue the paste button stops working, neither does the shortcut work. The only work around is closing out of Acrobat all together and starting over. This has happened multiple times now and its frustrating as I have to start all over. Current version: 26.1 Can this issue be looked into? I came across posts from january of 2023 and this issue has been around for that long at least. Frustrating!

Product: Adobe Acrobat Pro 2026Version: 2026.002.22031Operating systems: macOS and WindowsAffected browsers tested: Firefox 158.0.1 and Chrome 156.0.8078.47Working browser version tested: Firefox 157.0.1 SummaryAdobe Acrobat Pro shifts text horizontally when optimizing PDFs generated by newer versions of web browsers. The problem is reproducible on both macOS and Windows, but follows the source PDF rather than the operating system or Acrobat installation.Testing with a controlled HTML page has confirmed that the problem affects at least the Roboto and Open Sans fonts. Arial has not exhibited the problem in my testing so far.Additionally, Acrobat's optimizer produces virtually no reduction in file size for affected PDFs, whereas the same optimization workflow normally reduces file sizes substantially. Steps to reproduce Open the following test page in Firefox 158.0.1 or Chrome 156.0.8078.47: https://htmldrop.com/93xAYVxujYsf Print the page to PDF using the browser's print dialog.
