Question

Save button inactive after editing PDF in Acrobat Pro

Since updating the Mac OS to Ventura the focus on the Save button in Acrobat has been lost when I edit a PDF. Previously, if I deleted a page from a PDF and then hit Apple W to close the file, the save dialogue box came up and the Save button was active, so all I had to do was hit return to save & close the file. Now when I hit Apple W to close the file, the save dialogue button comes up but none of the buttons is active (see screenshot), so I have to use the mouse to click the Save button. Not the end of the world, but when you're editing lots of PDFs, the loss of just hitting return to save and close is a bit annoying. Acrobat version 2023.001.20177, Mac Os 13.4

    This might be a Ventura change. There are some new things in Ventura related to keyboards. If you like working with the keyboard you can set it up so that Tab moves between items and Space clicks items. Not tried it.

    It probably is a combination of Ventura & Acorbat, yes. But it is a simple thing in that the dSaveialogue box in Acrobat is being moved to the background by default (which is why the save button is inactive to the keyboard). Clicking anwhere on the save dialogue box brings it to the fonrt and makes the Save button active again. So I think there is a glitch that Adobe neds to look at wrt that dialogue box in Ventura.
