Questions

Hello! I am creating a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro and want to be able to insert a signature field that you must use a certificate to sign. The "digital signature field" allows candidates to draw a signature in, which we can't allow. I've seen a ton of government forms that do this (attached an example of a publically available government form that does this), but I haven't been able to recreate it myself. I also know that under the Certificates tool you can insert a certificate signature somewhere on the PDF, but I would like it to be mandated as well as the default setting when someone clicks on the signature box. Quick note, in order for the example I uploaded to reflect the intended behavior, you have to view it in Adobe, not a browser!

Hello  This symbol here has disappeared from my Acrobat and I don't know how to make it visible again. Well, actually I do, I have to log out - which confuses me even more... When I am logged out, it re-appears, but when I click on it, it tells me I have to buy a paid version. But I already have a Pro version through my job. So everything is very confusing. Where has this symbol gone and why does it not work (anymore) with Pro? Thank you

I seek a comprehensive list of all Acrobat functions that result in automatically resizing the window, or automatically adjusting the zoom level, of a newly opened document.  I do not want window size or initial zoom level to ever change, except when I make manual adjustments.  The automatic functions are a major hindrance and time-waster. To the extent some of these functions might be settable in multiple different locations so that I have to go make sure the setting is set properly in each of the separate locations, I would also appreciate a listing of such duplicative interface toggles. Cheers!

Hello,I am experiencing an issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows. Whenever I open a PDF and try to select text (for highlighting or copying), the page view suddenly rotates or flips automatically. This makes it very difficult to read and edit the document.I have already tried changing the page display settings and disabling auto-rotate options, but the problem still continues.Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a permanent fix or a setting I need to adjust?Thank you in advance for your help.

Is there a way to universally turn off all pop ups, upsell attempts, and feature suggestions from Acrobat?  I get NONSTOP ads, feature promotions, and pop ups.  This program is almost unusable with all these popups, it's making it way harder for me to do my job.  I tried changing the preference for "show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat" but (1) that didn't work and (2) even if it did, that doesn't address the nonstop barrage of pop ups I incur what feels like every single time I even hover my cursor over this app.  

Is there really no way to export or extract highlighted annotations of a PDF file as a simple text file? I find it absolutely ridiculous that there is no simple way to do this despite PDFs being around for decades! I am using Acrobat Pro and still no easy way to do this.

Call outs to Subrato (Adobe) @SubratoNamata and Franz @Frans v.d. Geest...   Affects Windows Office users who use Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker (the Acrobat ribbon) to export PDFs from MS Office apps. Definitely affects US English versions, and may affect other language versions.   With the recent Acrobat update on either Sept. 12 or Oct. 17, 2023 (Acrobat ver. 23.006.xxxxx with PDF Maker 23 and Library 23.6.136), figures anchored in the Word.docx file do not end up in the correct location in the PDF's tag tree.   <Figure> tags are scattered randomly throughout the PDF's Tag Tree, sometimes several pages AFTER their anchor point in the Word.docx. Some <Figure> tags do get placed correctly in the Tag Tree, but the majority don't. (See the 3rd photo in the attached test PDF.)   This is a very OLD bug that has just resurfaced to haunt us again. It was common in all PDFs exported from Word up until about 2015 or so. I don't have a clue why this  *&^%$#@!&

I need help with a JavaScript to add 3 fields then subtract the 4th field to get a total in the 5th field.If someone could please take a look at the script in the field GRANDTOTAL, I would be so appreciative. 

Windows 11 Home O.S. Build 26100.6584 Acrobate Standard User Not sure if there was an update but i have had to delete the Adobe Acrobat and redownload becasue I coud not sign in. I was able to sign in however everytime a tried to rotate pages in the thumbnail window another window pops up telling me I have to upgrade to pro. The rotate function is a feature for standard users. So i signed out and signed BACK in and now the upgrade window does not pop up. Now however when I try to rotate a group of pages in the thumbnail window it opens a browser window in chrome. I have uncheck "show inline storage when opening files" "show online storage when saving files", in the prefrences in the windows application  and deleted the Adobe chrome extension and even gone so far as to block pop-ups. None of that works. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

I am working on locking down a registration form. There are a couple sections that have multiple checkboxes but ONLY one can be marked. We won't even accept the form if there is more than one option marked. Most sections there are two boxes, check one but not the other. There is one section though that has 16 boxes, and yes only one can be marked.  Can I do that? Similarly I also need to do the same thing with two text fields, only one should be filled out. THANKS!

Hey,  I am looking for a way to send a password protected PDF for signature - that requires the signers to enter the password to see the document and sign. Currently, I can set a password on the doc but the signers can still see the entire document when signing. The only need to enter a password if the doc is downloaded and opened.  Is there a fix for this? Thank you!~Shelley

Hello,In Adobe Acrobat (any version after 6), when I sign a document, the background of my signature is transparent (it was created as a .gif). When I try to sign using Acrobat Reader DC (v2015.023.20070), though, that same transparent background turns White. How can I sign it so that the background remains transparent?Thank you.

I'm preparing a form but when I open the properties, I don't have the calculate tab. How can I get that added to my Adobe Pro?

This issue suddenly started happening for me a few months ago. In the Edit PDF section, I used to be able to select a grouping of text boxes* and slightly shift or move them on the page no problem. Now when I do that some or all of the the text dissapears. The bounding boxes are still there, but appear to be empty. The only way to keep the text in the boxes while moving them (or to recover the mising text) is to move them one by one.  I am using the old version of Adobe (preference). This problem persists in the Modern Acrobat as well. Again, this was never a problem for me until recently and it is massively increasing how long it takes to edit these documents.  *I am editing invoices that are originally downloaded as a Word document. They are edited as needed in Word and then saved as a PDF for further editing in Adobe. The way Adobe formats the files results in each line on the invoice, and each column within those lines, ibeingwithin itheir own text box/bounding

Hallo, wir haben folgende Herausforderung: Unsere selbst erstellten Formulare werden, wenn auf Windows 11 ausgefüllt und gesichert, im Acrobat Pro mit Inhalt angezeigt werden. Sobald das Dokument auf dem iPad ausgefüllt wird ist der Inhalt der Textfelder nur noch bei Acrobat Reader zu lesen, im Dateimanager nicht mehr.  Wird diese Datei dann nach Windows 11 synchronisiert oder per Mail versendet, ist der Inhalt der Formular-Textfelder nicht mehr im Acrobat Pro zu sehen, sondern nur noch im Browser. Woran kann Das liegen? Wir hoffen auf dringende und schnelle Lösungsansätze 🙂 Vielen Dank im Voraus! Anne

I need help with a calculation to multiply two fields for example 2 X $13.00 

Добрый день.У меня следующая проблема, пользуюсь Acrobat PRO на Мас. Когда пытаюсь перелестнуть страницу в режиме "по размеру окна" то при единоразовой прокрутке колесика фаил перелистывает сразу на последнюю страницу и наоборт с последней на первую. Аналогичная проблема с увеличением масштаба, при увеличении масштаба документ приближает очень сильно и наобот (отдаляет тоже очень сильно). Перечитал все настройки не нашел как это настроить. В других программах прокрутка и масштаб работают корректно. Прошу подсказать как эту проблему решить?

I recently downloaded adobe acrobat reader for a project I was working on. I hadn't used it much since. But I was downloading some files and accidentally clicked "open with adobe acrobat reader" on one and now every zip file (I have yet to try it with others) saves as a pdf with the adobe logo on it. I've tried everything I've found online but they didn't work and it also seems that they were also for a different problem than mine. Gonna keep trying though.

Hi,Simple question here, but I can't find the solution.I scanned some old booklets and need to reorder the pages to make them readable (and printable). How do I split the pile of A3 pages I have into a set of A4 pages? Thanks!

I am trying to change the password on one of my pdf's in acrobat. The pdf is password protected and I have the correct password and I am able to view the document, but when I go to change any of the document's security settings, it asks me for a permissions password. I type in the document password and it says it is incorrect. What is going on here?

Trying to send request signature in bulk with Acrobat Pro but it either just sits on the processing wheel and does nothing or gives 'auth.services.adobe.com refused to connect.' error message. Have tried different browsers, cleared cache, removed Adobe add-on from browser but still getting the same issues. Please help!
