Acrobat Pro thinks files are open that are not / commenting issues
I have Acrobat version 2022.003.20282, auto-updates are turned on.
In my Engineering job I am a heavy user of Acrobat to create pdfs for the parts / assys that we manufacture. We make heavy use of commenting tools (text boxes, lines, arrows, circles, rectangles). We have been using Acrobat for this purpose for approaching 2 decades I'd say. I often have multiple pdfs open at once, and often cut / pasting commenting items from one pdf to another.
The current version is exhibiting some buggy behaviors that are interrupting my normal workflow, and a break from the behavior / performance I've come to expect from Acrobat, borne out over decades:
- Multiple times a day I have my sytem think a pdf is open that is no longer open (I realize when I go to move or delete the file). To remedy I have to close every pdf I have open, so Acrobat fully closes, then I can delete / move. This takes me out of my workflow / train of thought.
- Note that I have my Acrobat configured to open each in its own window (not in tabs).
- Sometimes when I place a new text box, Acrobat will not let me move that text box. To remedy this I have to close every pdf I have open, then reopen the one where I want to move the note, and then I am able to do this. This takes me out of my workflow / train of thought.
- There are many times where we cut/paste a group of text boxes / circles / arrows, and historically the relative positioning of these items would be maintained when pasting. Now this is not always the case--items will change their relative positions to each other. This is a degradation of performance that slows me down.
- Another more minor point is I will say I am not a fan of the quite large circular handles that are now on text boxes / commenting items. They used to be smaller and less obtrusive. Having the handles larger often makes it hard to select items that are in a cluster together, requiring further zooming in than was the case.
Maybe I should break these items up into multiple tickets, but will post this nonetheless. Thank you for any attention this may receive..
