Here is the most obnoxious thing in Adobe Acrobat, and how it attaches this to Outlook emails automatically.  There is no possible way to remove it.  Not through Registry commands, not by removing permissions in Outlook . . . there is simply no way to remove it.  Adobe has made sure it cannot be removed.  No matter what you do, it comes back immediately, and not only when Adobe Acrobat updates.  It comes back within a few open and close cycles.  It has been mentioned in posts to the community for years, and no response.  I can only assume that Adobe has no intention of “fixing” this, because they want users to be forced to use this obnoxious “feature”FAIL!Okay, end rant . . .  

Hello, I’m reporting what looks like a Mac Acrobat Pro rendering bug affecting fillable PDF forms (IRS forms such as Form 5472 / 1120).  Problem Previously filled form fields (text already entered days/months ago) suddenly started displaying incorrectly in Acrobat on Mac:  broken/strange character spacing distorted text appearance inside form fields text looks scattered or stretched in some fields   Important observations (why this looks like an Acrobat display/render bug)  Mac Quick Look shows the same PDF correctly Print Preview shows the same PDF correctly Another PDF viewer app also shows the text correctly Only Acrobat on Mac displays the form field text incorrectly on screen  This strongly suggests:  PDF data is intact form data is intact print output is intact issue is Acrobat’s on-screen rendering of form field text   Environment / Repro context  Tested on 2 different MacBook Pros Tested with 2 different Adobe accounts Same issue on both machines/accounts

I’m using Adobe Illustrator and Acrobat on a Mac. When I rearrange pages in certain PDFs exported from Illustrator and try to save the file in Acrobat, I receive this error:“The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (109).”In some cases, one or more pages also appear blank.Steps to reproduce: In Illustrator, create a document with two artboards of different sizes—for example, 5 × 7 inches and 4 × 5.5 inches. Place a colored rectangle on each artboard. Save a copy as an Adobe PDF using the High Quality Print preset, with “Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities” unchecked. Open the PDF in Acrobat. Use Organize Pages to swap the two pages. Press Command + S. Expected result: The PDF saves with the pages in their new order and all artwork visible.Actual result: Acrobat displays error 109 and does not save successfully.Additional troubleshooting: The same issue has happened with multiple PDFs exported from Illustrator.

I’m using Adobe Acrobat (64-bit), version 26.002.22031, on Windows. Acrobat reports no updates available.Until recently, Acrobat automatically detected initials and signature locations in my contracts when requesting e-signatures. I’ve used the same forms and workflow for years.My workflow is: Create and save the PDF contract. Select Request e-signatures. Enter the recipient’s name and email. Continue to Prepare document. Acrobat appears to run field detection, but no suggested fields remain available afterward. I have to manually place the initials and signature fields.Before requesting signatures, the Fill & Sign screen highlights the blank locations. After entering the recipient, Acrobat correctly opens Step 2: Prepare document with the recipient selected, but the locations are no longer highlighted. There is no visible Auto-place or Place all option.The identical saved PDF detects fields correctly in Acrobat online. The problem occurs in the desktop application.Troublesho

I have created a form using Adobe Acrobat.  The source was Microsoft Word and I made sure it passed all of Microsoft’s accessibility requirements and checks before Saved As PDF.  I manually created each field.  I added field names and tool tips AND tagged every field.  I ran Adobe’s prepare for accessibility checker and it came back perfect.  No accessibility errors.  BUT when I used NVDA to read the PDF the following happens:When displayed in Adobe Acrobat: Doesn’t announce any of the fields and has trouble reading the rest of the content. When displayed in Chrome: returns “Document inaccessible” When displayed in Edge: Doesn’t read any of the fields.I am attaching the Help about for Adobe Acrobat, and NVDA.  I am also attaching the PDF form.  Please tell me why this isn’t working! I can’t teach staff to create accessible forms if the tool we use doesn’t create accessible forms even when the end user is following all of the manufacturer’s rules! 

I am the developer of sudoku printable. We have a feature that allows users to download and print Sudoku puzzles. This feature enables users to print multiple pages at once, and the output is in PDF format. We would like to create a page-flipping effect for the output. Do you have any relevant templates that we can use?

Please describe the exact preference in Adobe Acrobat Pro that permanently disables the Home Screen feature. Please don't send a pointless link to directions that don't solve my problem. Tell me exactly how to disable this pointless and annoying feature.  

When I open an empty W9 in acrobat and choose “fill & sign” look at how its typing out the fonts. It looks messed up like its using different fonts in one sentence. They look mismatched. Certain letters look stretched. It looks like a glitch. its never done this before. so I went to preferences and changed fonts to arial but it didnt fix the issue. how do i fix this?  

This appears to be an issue since the upgrade but is marked as resolved.  it isn’t

I have a set of scans in separate files that I need to crop. They are image scans without OCR, and they do not need OCR. I just need to crop them, but every time I open the Edit PDF menu to choose the Crop Page tool, Acrobat automatically runs OCR on every file, which causes a forced delay while I wait for this inefficient app to run its task. Is there any way to prevent Acrobat from ever running OCR before I ask it to? In the past, this was the default. Now it doesn't seem like there's any way around it.

I use Acrobat’s “comments” tools to add markups to PDFs. After the documents are marked up, we print the PDF to PDF so the comments are “locked” in, and can’t be easily edited by the document’s receiving party. The printed markups are always faded and grayish. This isn’t ideal because usually we are trying to call attention to the things we have marked up on our documents, so we want the colors to stay vibrant.Over the years I’ve had some success preserving color vibrancy by changing the advanced print color management settings but I honestly have zero idea how color processing works and I’ve mostly just clicked different options and tried printing until something works. But even after I find a setting that works, it often stops working seemingly out of random. It could be different documents, but many times we are working with the same library of documents. See below example and thanks for any help you can provide. Color fading before and after printing PDF to PDF.   

Recently got “upgraded” to Adobe Acrobat Classic 2024; is there any way to make the user interface look like previous versions of Adobe? This new interface has drastically reduced usability. 

Hello everyone,We have been experiencing issues with Adobe for some time now. Our users are working on an RDS server, and after a while they are no longer able to open PDF files with Adobe. When checking the Task Manager, we can see that each user has many Adobe processes running, sometimes up to 30 processes per user.The only way to get PDF files working again is either to manually close the Adobe processes from Task Manager or ask the user to log off and reconnect their session.We are currently running Adobe Acrobat 64-bit version 26.001.21529. 

Hi everyone,I often work with PDF files that contain images and multiple pages, and sometimes the file size becomes too large to share by email or upload to websites.What is the best way to reduce a PDF's file size in Adobe Acrobat while keeping the text clear and the images readable? Are there any recommended settings for balancing file size and quality?Thanks for your help!

Hello, I am writing to formally report a critical design flaw and functional block regarding the native translation feature in Adobe Acrobat Standard (active individual paid subscription). The native translation tool (via Adobe Express) is completely broken due to the following structural issues:1. Bilingual PDFs Failure: The interface lacks a manual "Source Language" selector. When processing a bilingual PDF (English/Spanish), the auto-detection algorithm enters a logical loop and crashes silently, rendering the feature useless. It also fails when trying to translate English blocks manually.2. 100% English PDFs Failure: To isolate the issue, I tested a form written entirely and exclusively in English. The system still fails silently and does not process the translation at all. This proves that the basic translation engine for Standard users is either blocked or severely bugged.3. Misleading Account Dashboard: My account menu explicitly states that I have "Generative AI usage / Credit

Now that Microsoft is using the new Aptos Font everywhere, how do we print to PDF?  Everytime i try i get a error message that ends " %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%"  Other than highlighting the document and changing the font, i can no longer print to PDF.  This is an issue as I print to PDF many times over a day to conform to our business process.    Will this be fixed soon? 

98% of what I open are billing statements. I want to see ONLY the statement. The bookmarks window is a pain in the behind and it waste my time to have to close it not to mention the frustration as a result. We pay out the wazoo for this subscription for all the tools when we use only a few of them. It would be incumbent upon Adobe to design it so it works in a fashion best suited for the users who have been faithful for years. Altering things that make life more difficult is an inspiration to look for alternatives. And, more are popping up. They may not be perfect but if they work as needed, it’s a loss to Adobe.

We have a customer running a number of RDS servers (Server 2025). Last week we observed all users getting a flashing blue circle cursor on their sessions and could see from Task Manager and Event Viewer that AcroCEF.exe was constantly opening, crashing, causing a WEFault.exe instance and then opening again, crashing and repeating. As soon as Acrobat 64-bit was shut for the user the cursor stopped flashing. At the time the servers were running Adobe Acrobat 64-bit version 25.001. On server had been rebuilt more recently (for a separate issue) and was not experiencing the flashing cursor or constant AcroCEF crashes, this server was running 26.002.22031. If AcroCEF.exe was renamed with.disabled the flashing cursor was not present. Due to this, over the weekend, we updated all RDS servers to Adobe Acrobat 64-bit v26.002.22031. Mostly this has resolved the issue but we have had two users have the flashing cursor, along with the crashes visible in Task Manager and Event Viewer: Faulting appl

I've created a fillable form in Adobe which requires a signature. When I created the form I added a signature field, check boxes and a dropdown list. When this form is saved and downloaded as a PDF then sent to another individual in PDF format the form only allows the option to click the check boxes and select from the dropdown list. No field displays requiring a signature, nor the ability to even write where the signature field was assigned. Does the form have to be sent through Adobe in order for the signature field to display? Am I not able to download a PDF copy of the form and send via email? Any help is appreciated, thank you! 

I have a complex table that has repeating TH and footer row on every page. After scoping the table, I move the TD from the other pages into the first TBody tag and article the repeating TH rows. The problem now is that I have a footnote link on one of the TH cells that is now also repeating on every page. Do I article the footnote links on the other pages too?
