Send For Signature crashes from inside App-V Acrobat.   Problem: When IT administrators intend to deploy Reader and Acrobat using App-V 5.0 SP3 on client machines, users may face an issue with Acrobat if they haven't initiated it at least once on their devices. Cause of the problem: The issue arises because App-V Reader includes several "HKCU/Adobe/*" hives in the App-V pass-through list. This inclusion creates these registry keys outside the VREG on client machines.   Solution: For the pass-through registry keys to function correctly, the presence of HKCU/Adobe/Adobe Acrobat/{DC|2015} in the local registry hive on the machine is essential. This key is generated upon the initial launch of App-V Reader using the Runtime.bat script, similar to the one outlined in the Acrobat Reader Sequencing Guidelines.   Consider one of the following workarounds: Manual Creation: Manually create HKCU/Adobe/Adobe Acrobat/{DC|2015} on the client machines instead of relying on the Runtime.bat script of App-V Reader. For instance, administrators can deploy these keys on clients through ADM templates, etc. User-Initiated Launch: Users can launch App-V Reader once on their machines before using Acrobat. DeploymentConfig.xml Modification: Add the following Runtime.bat script in App-V Acrobat's DeploymentConfig.xml within the <UserScripts> section. This script generates the aforementioned registry key in the HKCU hive upon the initial launch of App-V Acrobat. Note that the script executes exclusively for domain users and may throw error 534 if a local user attempts to open App-V Adobe Acrobat.   Runtime.bat @echo off SET ChannelName=2015 REM Set the ChannelName to DC to run this script on the Continuous track. SET NativeKey="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\%ChannelName%" REG QUERY %NativeKey% IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 GOTO EXIT REG ADD %NativeKey% :EXIT DeploymentConfig.xml <UserScripts>         <StartVirtualEnvironment  RunInVirtualEnvironment="false">         <Path>cmd.exe</Path>         <Arguments>/c "[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\Runtime.bat"</Arguments>         <Wait RollbackOnError= "false"/>         </StartVirtualEnvironment> </UserScripts>     Have you found this answer helpful?

Troubleshooting: Unable to Edit MS Excel File Created from PDF Using Acrobat "When you convert a PDF to an MS Excel file using Acrobat, you encounter an issue where editing the Excel file becomes problematic. This challenge arises from including live text elements like titles, headers, footers, and images within the original PDF document."   Solution: Create a registry key to force-enable OCR on the PDF.   Because of live text and an image within the PDF, OCR is not enabled by default. To activate OCR on the PDF, you need to manually enable it using the following registry key.   STEPS TO CREATE THE REGISTRY KEY TO FORCE-ENABLE OCR:   Quit the Acrobat application if it's already running. Open the registry editor - go to Run (Windows menu + R), type regedit.exe in the Open field and click OK. In the registry editor, go to the following location:  For 64-bit systems:  Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\(Wow6432Node)\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureState   For 32-bit systems:  Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureState   Under FeatureState, create a key of type DWORD and name it ExportRunOCR. Change its value to 1. Close the registry editor. Open Acrobat and convert the PDF to an Excel file. You can edit the Excel file now.   Have you found this answer helpful?

Upgrade your signature device to use Microsoft CNG API instead of Crypto API for digital signatures.   Acrobat issues a warning message when it detects that your signature device relies on outdated Crypto API drivers for digital signatures. The message states, "Acrobat has identified usage of the legacy Microsoft Crypto API library (MS CAPI), which is deprecated and will be phased out in the near future. To ensure continued functionality, we recommend contacting your vendor to upgrade your signature device to Microsoft CNG API."       Solution:    To ensure seamless functionality, we recommend contacting your signature device vendor for a driver upgrade to Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG). Microsoft has deprecated the Crypto API and strongly advises transitioning to the CNG API. For detailed information, please refer to the Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG) documentation.     Have you found this answer helpful?

Acrobat Scroll Framework upgrades for macOS.   Following the latest macOS guidelines, we have completely overhauled the Acrobat scrolling framework for Mac as part of our September '23 release. This fundamental transition from NSView to NSScrollView significantly impacts the behaviour of the Mac user interface. It introduces a modern scrolling experience that is responsive during active use and eliminates the need for excessive space. Some noteworthy changes include:   Split View Update: To enable Split mode for viewing PDFs, go to Windows® > Split. The previous method of accessing Split mode via the top of the vertical scroll bar has been discontinued.        Horizontal scrolling: Users with a scroll-enabled mouse can achieve horizontal scrolling by pressing Shift + scrolling the mouse wheel.   Page Dimensions Display: Instead of being positioned at the far left of the horizontal scroll bar as before, you can now see page dimensions by hovering your mouse over the lower-left corner of the page.   Page dimensions appear at the lower left corner upon mouse hover.     Have you found this answer helpful? If so, Join the conversation with us and share your thoughts. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we are always listening.  ... View more
