The updated version cause me to work with the program more time than previous one. for example, the snapshot / screenshot. It was simple and easy to cut out the picture i want from the PDF file. now I cant print with a simple bottom. and i can't even find out the graphic selection from the printer. It was a easy process to get a job done. now i need to save the snapshot and then attach to another program like word. and print out the image plus i need to adjust the size on the paper from the print. which is not recommand this update version to anyone.

Hello!

Thanks for the feedback. You can still print a selected region using Snapshot.

Select Menu (Windows) in the Acrobat app, or Acrobat (mac)> Undo, Redo, and More > Take a snapshot.
Drag a rectangle around the area to capture it.
Select Print (Print this file).
Under Pages to Print > More Options, choose "Selected graphic".
Under Page Sizing and Handling, choose Fit to scale it to the sheet.

To ask for one-click Print from Snapshot to return, you can raise a feature request with the product team here https://acrobat.uservoice.com

For more details, you can refer to these articles:

Candy,

I completely agree. When I pasted on a Word document the clarity sucked. It does look like you can crop and print but it is much less convenient.

Hey, I’m not sure if this helps my users were asking the same thing recently, I just found this might help. Maybe they added this after more complaints or something but I just found this. It appears on the pop up right after using the Snapshot command.

Hello Sylwia!

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out.

To use the Snapshot Tool:

Open your PDF in Acrobat Pro.
Press Ctrl + Shift + S Or go to:
Menu > View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Select & Zoom > Snapshot Tool
Use your mouse to select the area you want to capture.
Once copied, you can paste it directly into programs like Word or Paint (Ctrl + V).

Unfortunately, printing directly from Snapshot has been removed in newer versions. After copying the image with Snapshot, paste it into Word or another program, adjust the size, and then print.

To know more about the new Acrobat UI, please see these articles: Introducing the new Acrobat experience and Learn about the new Acrobat.

If you would like to share your feedback and observations, please use the Adobe Wish form to submit your thoughts directly to the product team: https://adobe.ly/3GGoTip

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

This is very frustrating that this feature has been removed. I used this feature constantly. I work with blueprints that are saved to PDF. Sometimes I need to print just a portion of the drawing - for example; I may need to save just one room in an entire home. Then I can save and make changes in that room only. However, I just can't take a snapshot and paste to another program because I have to maintain the existing scale. When I paste into another program, the scale gets skewed. Not only is that frustrating, but now the program no longer allows me to Print to a PDF through the printer options. I need this feature back.
