Questions

Hi all.  I don't know the correct "terminology" so apologies in advance. I created a PDF document (basically markups of an image with lines and text callouts on top).  I want to send this PDF to others, but I don't want them to be able to "move/edit" the lines and text callouts.  This is not collaborative file.  How do I do this?  Many years/versions of Acrobat ago, I would "flatten" the PDF before sending, but now when I try to find out how to do it in the latest version of Acrobat I can't get any clear instructions how to.   All my Google searches tells me to change security of the file to prevent editing.  And Google search of "flattening" leads to a confusing maze.  I don't even know if "flattening" is the right term anymore either. My workaround now has been to create the PDF in Acrobat, and then open the PDF file with Preview (I work on a Mac).  Then in Preview, I "print" the file and select the output as PDF and that makes t

The text that I've added to a .pdf file (& sometimes comment boxes) won't print when I print the .pdf.  It used to.  Same thing with stamps, they are not printing out on the document and they used to.  Have a accidently turned something off?  I have Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

I have the same issue as other forum users have had regarding CTRL B no longer working to make bookmarks of highlighted text, but I haven't found a solution for me. The bookmark is created with text "Untitled". This CTRL B method worked for me up until yesterday. There are no restrictions on my documents and I created them myself. I tested on both new documents and those I worked successfully with (using the shortcut) earlier this week. The New Bookmarks button works as expected.Troubleshooting tried:Logging off network.Restarting computer.Removing Preferences folder from C:\Users\AnnaNmty\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\DCRemoving UserPrefs folder from same folder. (This was moderately successful in that my initial issue today was not being able to create bookmarks with either the button or CTRL B, not even "Untitled".)Adobe Acrobat DC (not Reader) 18.009.20050, Windows 7, 64bit. All updates applied.

As of a few hours ago, my mouse wheel scrolling is no longer working in the Bookmarks side panel. It works everywhere else but not in Bookmarks. Started today. Guessing an Update fart. Is there a fix for this?

Adobe Acrobat premium stopped printing to my Epson WorkForce printer WF- 2660. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hello, I've noticed I'm having weird issues with word spacing on some lines in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. It doesn't matter how many words I type, it'll randomly pick lines to space out. Tried to fix the alignment but it didn't help at all. Also tried to fix character and line spacing, didn't help. I've attached a photo I know its not good quality but I've underlined the weirdly spaced words, any help is appreciated!

Estoy intentando firmar digitalmente con un certificado un documento. Sigo los pasos correctamente, hago click en firmar y solo aparece el logo de Adobe en vez de el nombre, DNI, fecha de la firma, etc. He ido a la configuración de la firma y los recuadros marcados incluyen estos datos y si quito el recuadro del logo no me deja firmar directamente. Anteriormente ya había podido firmar con este certificado con éxito, con los datos mencionados apareciendo encima del logo. Alguna idea?

Hi There, I have created a document in Word that includes text boxes, shapes created in Word and images inserted from JPEG files.  When I print the document directly from Word, there is no problem, all the formatting prints out on the paper correctly, as expected.  When I hit command + P and "print" or save the document as a PDF, essentially converting the document from a .docx to a .pdf, the document looks fine on the screen.  No formatting has been changed, even in the Print Preview it looks fine when open in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.  However, when I print the document to paper, many of the shapes are missing, some of the images are partially cut-off and in some cases, big black boxes appear. I have had to use the "bring to front", "bring forward", "bring in front of text", etc. options in Word when creating the document to get the look I wanted and have images and shapes or text layered.  Not sure if this is playing a part. Again, there is no

Hi there, Curious if anyone has seen this issue where randomly a saved PDF will just add characters after the .pdf extension? I've attached an example picture of one that just happened.  Thanks for any info or help on this. -Joseph

I am using Acrobat Reader 2025.001.20693 on Mac Sequioa 15.6.1All of a sudden I am unable to print single sided.My process is:File > Print which brings up the print dialog (right side of screenshot). I press the Printer button at the bottom (note that there is no option in the print dialog regarding single or double sided). This brings up the second dialog (on the left below). Note that double-sided is set to "off".  When I select the Print button (again, left hand dialog below) the dialog closes and nothing happens. I then select the Print button from the remaining dialog (right dialog below) and it prints double-sided.This is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!! How do I make it stop? I've deleted the printer and all drivers, have reinstalled everything (this has taken 4 hours so far) and nothing works.This happens whether I'm printing from the Adobe Reader app installed on my Mac, or printing from within Chrome with the extension installed.

How can i solve the issue where acrobat display text stacked and disoriented?Im on a Mac and when previewing the pdf its normal. Checked on my Windows pc and it looks normal. Just when i open it on Acrobat for mac it is funky looking.

Seriously, no marketing BS, no deflection, no big strategy, why add AI to an application that already struggles to live up to it's purpose? I don't think it is a great secret that your applications have suffered in quality over the recent years. I can't say I've seen a Reddit post, TikTok, YouTube, or any other user comments anywhere recently that are flattering to Adobe or Acrobat. Personally, I don't give two cents about AI in my PDFs and I gotta say, this isn't unique among your users. I think it's great that you're trying to innovate however, the facts are your innovations are taking a toll on your image as a company focused on its users. Of all the software installed on my computers over the last few decades, Adobe software continuously performs poorly against other companie's software. Errors, crashes, slow downs, memory leaks, have all been happened routinely. No software is perfect but I can count the number of times Word has crashed in the last year on zero fingers. 

Hello,When I add redactions to a PDF, white gaps/boxes appear over the watermark, and it appears fuzzy.May you please advise how this can be changed?

When sending documents for electronic signature through Adobe Acrobat Sign online, we are running into a problem where our recipients are unable to complete the initial field. It seems to be stuck; when we click on the 'Initial' button it won't let us add an initial - the usual pop-up doesn't appear and nothing happens. However, it will let us fill out the signature in the same document when we click on the 'Signature' button.We have tried multiple different templates, brand new documents, cleared the cache on our browsers, sent to different email addresses, checked the permissions and participants set, tried it on our phones, and nothing we've done has worked. We've only had this problem today, and all the documents we sent out up until yesterday seem to be working as per usual.

Hi everyone, I’ve recently started using Adobe Acrobat PDF Editor and I’m running into an issue with creating internal links in my document. The links work perfectly while I’m still in the editor, but once I save and reopen the file, they stop working properly. I’ve tried saving in different formats, but the problem remains. There’s no security on the document, and the links themselves are still visible in the saved file — they just don’t take me to the right part of the page anymore. In short: the links behave as expected inside the editor, but fail once the PDF is saved and opened. Has anyone else run into this, or know what might be causing it?

Hi everyone, I wanted to change the text on a picture via Adobe acrobat Pro, but when clicking on edit and the software trying to recognise text. The picture got reduced in size drastically. When trying to resize the picture properly it got only the text bigger not the picture.  Please let me know if you know the solution for this matter? Thanks in advance.

I have created a fillable pdf to be filled out internally and then sent to the customer for their signature.  Upon testing, when it's emailed the customer is able to make changes to what we have filled out.  I only want the customer to be able to sign the form.  How can I do this?

Hi,I have integrated a pop-up control into a custom dialog. The entries that can be selected in the pop-up control are always listed in alphabetical order. How can I ensure that the preselected option always appears as the top/first entry in the pop-up control and that the other options always appear below the preselected entry?   var layoutDialog = { cols: "2", rows: "5", druck: null, format: null, order: null, direction: null, initialize: function (dialog) { dialog.load({ "col1": this.cols, "row1": this.rows, "druk": { "Simplex": +1, "Duplex": -2 }, }); }, DoDialog: function () { return app.execDialog(this); }, description: { name: "Duplo Finisher: Change Page Order", elements: [{ type: "view",

I had no problems with combining files until maybe 3 months ago when all combining attempts stop at around 95%.  The combine just hangs there.  Adding up all the individual pages would only be aroung 5Mb.  If I combine 3-4 pages, the combine successfully completes.  Anything more than that, then this 95% hang issue arises.  Is anyone else having this issue and does anyone know of a solution?  I've updated the app and I've also tried reinstalling the app, but this issue persists.  Thank you.

I don't want this, never asked for it and very much don't want a significant portion of my screen occupied by slop like this. Can I remove it? It would be great if it was possible with a little 'close this window' but it isn't there. I pay for Acrobat through my CC subscription. If this is advertising I don't want it. If it is 'helpful' it is stupid. This dumb banner of distracting items shows up when I open Acrobat and also intrudes elsewhere in the UI. I loath this UX with a passion. Kill it.
