What's your single best 'hidden' feature or time-saving tip in Acrobat?

Hi everyone,

I've been using Acrobat daily for years, and I'm always surprised when I find a new workflow tweak that saves me a ton of time.

My personal favorite, which many people seem to overlook, is customizing the Quick Tools toolbar. Instead of constantly digging through the "Tools" panel for the same 3-4 actions (for me, it's 'Edit Text', 'Compare Files', and 'Optimize PDF'), I just right-click the toolbar, select 'Customize Quick Tools,' and add them right to the top.

It seems like a small thing, but it's completely streamlined my workflow and probably saves me dozens of clicks every day.

It got me thinking: what's your go-to 'hidden' feature or time-saving tip?

What's that one simple thing you've learned in Acrobat that you wish you had known sooner?

Looking forward to learning some new tricks!

Best,

@fariya_yousaf for me, the Action Wizard is a life-changing time-saver. It's often overlooked because it's only in the Pro version, it’s essentially the Photoshop "Actions" panel for PDF processing.

How? Can you explain with the example?
