Questions

I am using Acrobat Pro. I often use the OCR function on documents that I get from clients as photos. Often, these documents include lines, such as underlined text or lined spaces for a signature or grid lines as part of tables. Whether Acrobat does its OCR with the “Scan & OCR” tool or the “Edit PDF” tool, it consistently treats these lines as part of background imagery. It does an okay job recognizing underlining of text (but not better than okay) and pretty much never recognizes blank lines as pseudo text (in the case of spaces for signatures) or formatting (in the case of boxing in and around tables). Often, the images I get from clients including yellowing or low-res smearing in the white background of the document. OCRing turns them into editable images. I would like to be able to select and delete these image background, but because Acrobat’s OCRing includes the blank lines and table lines described above as included in the background image, deleting the background fuzz also

I’ve recently purchased Acrobat Pro 2024 (a.k.a. Acrobat Classic). Under “Prepare Form,” after creating a text box with a mouse click, each subsequent click anywhere on the page will create a new text box. I can end this cycle only by pressing Esc twice. Is this a feature or a bug? That was not the behavior in older Acrobat Pro’s that I had had.

When using the Fill and Sign function in Acrobat DC Pro there is an option to "Save to Template".  How do I access the template when I need to use it again? Once I've sent the document I see a message stating that it was saved to my document library.  The message has a link that I can click that takes me to the what I presume is the document library and I see the template there. After closing Acrobat DC Pro I cannot find a way to get back to the document library the next time I open the program.  I've attached a screenshot of the document libary.  

I am trying to locate a superscripted number in a PDF. (1) Is there a way to search specifically for superscripts in a PDF?(2) When I search in the text for the superscripted number--not trying to limit the search only to superscripts--the search does not find them.  Why am I doing wrong?

When I try and share a PDF, using the share button. I get a white box, but no option to share or Create link to share to generate and copy the URL

User hat sich angemeldet in Acrobat und kann die Pro Tools nutzen, wenn er aber z.B. Unterschriften einfügen will, hängt sich Acrobat auf und kann nur mehr per Task Manager beendet werden. An der Firewall und am Virenscanner liegt es nicht, das haben wir getestet. Kennt das Problem wer bzw. gibt es Lösungen? Ich habe momentan die Windows UAC in Verdacht. Gibt es hier empfohlene Einstellungen?

I am helping a professor with articles from newspapers.com. She would like me to combine articles that are not on the same page into one PDF. Also, is there a way to select the entire text transcription and copy/paste into a text file, and send that to her too? She wants to make an html version of the article and provide a pdf of the real thing for download. I realize these are elementary questions, but I don’t work often with Acrobat and could really use some help. Thank you!

I am checking a PDF export workflow in Acrobat and want to confirm the correct way to validate links after export.In my test PDF, the URL is visible as normal black body text, but I also need to confirm that the exported PDF keeps the native URI annotation instead of only showing plain text. I am checking for the expected PDF structure such as /Annots, /A, /S /URI, and the URI target.The attached PDF is a small test document. It includes one real-world test URL surrounded by normal project context, so I can verify whether Acrobat preserves both the visible text and the clickable link annotation after saving or exporting.What is the recommended Acrobat workflow to verify this? Should I use Edit PDF > Link, Preflight, Accessibility tools, or another inspection method to confirm that the URI annotation is still present after export?I am checking my own PDF export and validation process and want to make sure I am using the right Acrobat tools.

ツールメニューの「アクションウィザード」から、アクション実行時に「フォルダーを追加」を選択した際、表示されるフォルダ選択ダイアログの左側にあるはずの「ナビゲーションペイン（ホーム、デスクトップ、OneDrive、PCなどが並ぶサイドバー）」が一切表示されなくなりました。

Whenever I hover over certain documents, I get this weird pop-up showing the page number in the bottom right corner. It sometimes looks like this; sometimes just the page number. I am using old acrobat for viewing pdfs and have “enable text indicators and tooltips” turned off. It seems to happen only with documents that I have converted into searchable/editable text. It happens with any tool selected, but seems to go away when I move my cursor off of the page.  

The starting point is a 250-page InDesign document with 100s of EPS illustrations and a dozen screenshots. When the PDF is exported it is way too big to share easily and I need significant size reduction. The final PDF will be sent to a commercial printer and posted to the company Website, so quality cannot be sacrificed. Thanks much!!

Using Acrobat Pro This used to be in a dropdown menu under “Edit”

Is there a way to change the pop-up box with the 21 predefined colors? I would like to create my own custom colors and use my own predefined color palette for any new PDF I open.At the moment, I have not found a way to permanently change colors to something other than the 21 shown below. I know you can set a default new color, but that color isn't added to the predefined box. (and the default color method only allows to change one color, and not a whole set).  

Acrobat Pro is very slowly processing in my laptop, it makes a longer time to open a file. Even simple tasks take too long I hope an update can fix this and make it faster soon.

I want to add page transitions to my pdf in Acrobat. How can I do this on a Macbook? 

Hello. Would anyone here know, by any chance, how to select the type of edges (round or blunt) on the highlight tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro (it's what I'm using, v4, 64bit)? I've been looking all over the Internet for an answer to this, including tons of messages in the Adobe Community forum, but couldn't find anything satisfactory. In fact, many people say it's not possible to switch. But I disagree, and here is why: My highlighting tool had always given me blunt edges until I upgraded to the new Acrobat version (Modern Viewer), which I've been using for over a year now. In the new version, the H.L. edges became rounded, so I thought it was something related to the upgrade. I spent over a year thinking that. Cut to last week (2024-03-15) when my 5-yeard old son hit my keyboard by mistake and BAM -- the highlight tool started giving me blunt edges, right then and there. My son made the switch by mistake, and I now have highlighted excerpts showing both edges in the same documen

There is an Adobe Acrobat bug that does not allow me to use the program to scan documents using a Brother printer. I always get scanner not found so I called technical support. They said that this is a known issue, and I am tired of waiting for Adobe to fix it.  Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas on how to get Adobe to fix this?

I use Acrobat X, have for years.  Suddenly I get a pop-up when I start using a PDF that says I have too many computers using the same account.  I do not.  I have checked my laptop, and no other systems I own uses Acrobat X.  How do I correct this?

Who thought it a good idea to change nearly everything at once?   Guess what - most of us are working for a living and don't have time for hours of tutorials and having to sift through support forums to find out how to use software that has been one of the back-bones of our work-flow.   As a designer working in the construction industry, along with being a skilled graphic designer, (you name the Adobe product, I have probably used it)  I have found Acrobat to be an excellent, can't live without tool over the years, but this new version has hidden every bit of functionalityy that I personally need.   Am I asking for help here? No. I simply don't have time to mess around while some hotshot new designer celebrates his/her/it's new internal slaps on the back for a job 'well done' at Adobe, and the team scrabble around to answer some of the complaints.    To say I am dissapointed, is an understatement.    Before anyone says it, there are always compla

There are many annoying features of Acrobat DC as compared to the prior versions of Acrobat. However, one of the most annoying and time consuming is the need to click "Post" at the end of each comment that you're writing.  Is there a way to turn this off  on a default basis and have comments saved automatically?   If not, are there keyboard shortcuts that can be used to be able to select the Post button and/or close the comment box without having to manually click on the Post box and the X in the upper right to close the comment. Is this "feature" also present in the latest desktop version of Adobe? If not, is it possible to switch from Acrobat DC to the desktop version?

When the adobe extension is active in Chrome or Edge, I can’t download pdf files.  In Edge, there is a Valid Certificate error even though the padlock on the page says the certificate is valid.  On Chrome, it just says there is an error.  All apps are updated and reinstalled.  This has been going on for awhile.  When I turn off the extension, the file will download and become visible as an ashx file.I will add it’s a particular site.  I’ve spent quite some time changing settings to make it work but I can’t. Any ideas?Thanks

Every time I sign in to the Adobe Acrobat website, whether I’m trying to read a file I received via a link or simply entering the site without the link, it keeps restarting, reloading, and crashing.I’ve cleared the cache, tried different browsers, and used incognito mode. None of the above helped.
