Question

Is there an UNDO command in Pro DC? Another question; can I shrink a document physically? I need the 100% contents in 90% of the same page or 80% of the same page

Hello, I need help in these two issues for Acrobat Pro DC;

1) Is there an UNDO command when I make an error command; eg; I deleted a wrong content.

2) Can I shrink a document physically (not kb) giving me space all around the page; In other words, I want the 100% contents moved into 90% or 50% of the document keeping the center intact. Preferably, I would like to increase the margins (top/bottom/left/right) as I choose.

Thank you

To undo some editing you've done use CTRL + z key at the same time.

    1. Right-click close to the top of the program window, and to the right of the existing menus (as long as you’re over a blank area, you’re fine) to open the shortcut menu.
    2. In the shortcut menu, click Edit > Undo and you’ll see the Undo button added to the toolbar.
    3. Repeat, and this time click Edit > Redo to add the Redo button to the Edit toolbar.

      Oh my thank you for putting this resolve up, all the responses seemed to miss the point of the persons issue and making it ssomewhat complicated. I had wanted to undo some highlighting, 

       

      to summise anyone who has googled and are reading this thread ...

       

      There an undo button in Adobe DC but you have to go find it and add to your tool bar

      right click over the tool bar and select Show Edit Tool

      There is a circular undo sign - tick it.

       

      hurrahhhh!

        Did you ever solve your issue regarding scaling the contents smaller on the page? From the thread it doesn't appear as though you were helped in that regard.

        1. You can easily do it from the EDIT PDF tools. Choose Edit PDF from the list in the right hand pane to activate the tools and toolbar.
        2. Click the Edit tool on the toolbar to activate the frames around the objects on the page.
        3. Move your cursor over the page, then click and drag a selection around all the objects you want to resize at one time (quicker this way).
        4. Release the mouse to see the objects framed.
        5. Press SHIFT and drag from one of the corners to resize proportionally. Your scaling is an estimate, by the way.
        6. Once you've scaled the contents, you can drag the selection on the page as you like.

        donna.

          1) Yes, it's under the Edit menu, although it might not be available after any kind of edit that you do.

          For example, redactions can't be un-done.

          2) You can scale the document using a plugin or a script, or by printing it to the Adobe PDF printer (Windows only) and specifying a different page size.

          You can change the margins using the Crop tool.

          Hi Try 67,

          1) It is an unsatisfactory answer if it came from Acrobat staff. "Undo" a command straight after giving a wrong command or unintended command is different from editing it; not in effect but in being "user friendly" . Even a simple calculator had such a command for over 40 years.It is basic & it is instinctive solution  You do not touch your nose going round your back of your head. I suggest that UNDO command is created or made available on this PRO DC soon after any of the "single click" commands.

          Thank you for the second answer; let me do some study on this issue.

            I had assumed that the answers were made on behalf of Acrobat. Nevertheless, if one can answer, one should face the criticism with a straight face.

            Almost all commands cannot be undone by a next click in Pro DC.

            What I found particularly difficult was the process of deleting non visible objects in  a document of 200 pages in edit mode. It quite often happens that the wrong object have been deleted on a click or a wrong click after 20 objects have been correctly deleted. Now one is stuck. If you save it, the object is permanently gone. So you have to close the file without saving the 20 edits and do once again all the 20 deletions spread out in 200 pages.

            A lot of rework, either because I do not know how to UNDO or because the software maker failed to set the right sequence of action


            From your reply it isn't clear to me. Is it that you don't know how to undo in Acrobat DC at all, or is it that you DO know, but it does not work/is not available for this specific action?
