@timothy_6607 how frustrating! This installation loop often indicates a conflict with existing files, permissions, or background processes. To resolve this, first, perform a thorough uninstall using the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of previous installations. I would use Adobe Cleaner from adobe website versus using any third party cleaner. Adobe Cleaner helps remove old Adobe software, cleaning corrupt installation files, and fixing your host files to establish a connection with Adobe servers. https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html Then, temporarily disable any antivirus or firewall software that might be interfering with the installation process. Ensure your operating system is fully updated, as outdated system files can cause conflicts. During the reinstallation, go to your adobe.com, and run the Adobe Acrobat installer as an administrator.  ... View more

@aksfhaou olfgahfgp  Even though you may have reformatted the hard drive, the actual data of the files might still reside on the hard drive until it's overwritten by new data. Software licensing systems, like Adobe's, can sometimes even store information in locations that are not consistently cleared by a standard format. This can lead to conflicts or residual licensing issues after a reinstallation. In your case, I would use Adobe Cleaner from Adobe's website to clean all that up.

 totally agree with you. I do reports using a fillable form and need to be able to update them without redoing the whole thing. I always could until the last month. I click save or save as or save a copy and the message comes up that I can't save a signed pdf even though it isn't signed.  I never use an electronic signature.  Sometimes it says it doesn't recognize the document. I am so frustrated hence my profile name. The online chat help is useless. Doesn't explain anything. I ask them how to save an unsigned original document and they don't give an answer. I hate Adobe Acrobat and wish there was some other system. Good luck. ... View more

@Jerome_Rollerson2294  This error message means that the "Acrobat Collaboration synchronizer" application on your Mac is likely corrupted preventing it from opening. This could be due to a faulty update, accidental file deletion, or disk errors. To resolve this, try these steps: First, repair disk permissions by running Disk Utility. This can often fix issues with file access. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling Adobe Acrobat. Use Adobe Cleaner from Adobe not from a third party cleaner https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  Once that is done 100%, reinstall the app again. Hopefully this will replace any damaged or missing files for the Collaboration synchronizer.  ... View more

@will_9836 never rely on the autosave. Always manually save it. Periodically by clicking the "Save" icon or using the keyboard shortcut (for the PC, Control S or for the MAC, Command S).

If the problem persists, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies or using a different browser to see if that resolves the issue.  ... View more

@FP_SBX  It sounds like you're encountering issues with Adobe Acrobat for Google Drive when filling in Hebrew text, where the changes aren't saved or recognized for printing. This could be due to font compatibility problems, encoding issues, or how Acrobat handles right-to-left languages within the Google Drive environment. Adobe Fonts are designed to work within Adobe's applications. Google Docs, on the other hand, operates within the web-based world, relying on its own library of web-friendly fonts. These two systems don't speak the same "language" when it comes to fonts.   Make sure to install the font file on your device for the font family! Download it and install it! Then when you make your PDF, make sure the fonts you're using for Hebrew text are embedded in the PDF.  ... View more

@TMV Competenc36977101luwb It seems that Acrobat Standard is having trouble interacting with your VPN connection, causing it to become unresponsive. This could be due to network conflicts, security restrictions, or compatibility issues between Acrobat and your VPN software. To troubleshoot, start by checking if your VPN software and Acrobat Standard are updated to their latest versions, as updates often include bug fixes and compatibility improvements. If the issue persists, try temporarily disabling any firewall or security software that might be interfering with Acrobat's network access. Additionally, investigate your VPN settings to see if there are any options related to application filtering or network restrictions that might be affecting Acrobat. If the problem continues, contacting both your VPN provider and your IT TEAM might be necessary to identify the root cause and find a solution. ... View more

@CE707070 it worked once, and now the same file is giving you issues. Likely, the file was corrupted during the saving.  Let's try saving a different PDF file (preferably one without Hebrew text) to see if the error is specific to this particular document or a general issue with Acrobat. If this works fine, now try simplifying the Hebrew document by removing any unnecessary elements, complex formatting, or special characters. This might help isolate whether those elements are causing the issue.  If you have access to the original source file of the Hebrew document, try recreating the PDF from scratch using different settings or a different PDF creation tool. The Hebrew text might contain special characters, complex formatting, or right-to-left writing directionality that Acrobat is struggling to handle. So, make sure the OS and Acrobat is set up for that When the time comes to export the PDF, make sure you embed the fonts and the fonts are compatible with Acrobat. If necessary, try installing the fonts on your system. ... View more

Thanks for the info.  I managed to uninstall again, reinstall again but have chosen to stay with the old format since the modern format is causing the issues.  For me, going back to a restore point is not really a solution; it would be far better for Adobe to fix this issue, especially since I am paying for this.  There is an old saying, "if it aint broke, dont fix it" :-).  I am all for updates and enhancements, but not at the cost of lost productivity. ...

@Kemit Realty I don't think there is a direct way, in Adobe Acrobat to automatically create a PDF from clipboard content and have it dynamically add pages as needed to prevent text overflow.

@BiggestP sorry to hear. I know I send PDFs to my commercial printers and they have no issues when they need to have CMYK plates. If you want, you could use Distiller. If you're printing separations from InDesign or Illustrator, try exporting the file as a PostScript file (.ps) and then using a separate PostScript interpreter to create the separations such as Distiller to make your PDF. Old school way. Or try reverting to an older version of Acrobat where separations printing worked correctly. This might involve uninstalling the current version and installing a previous one (if you have access to the installer) or using a system restore point (if available). ... View more

@Cris22409810e86e The difference in behavior between the two iPhone models could be due to variations in their hardware, operating system versions, or installed apps. The fact that PDF Viewer works on iPhone 8 suggests that the issue might not be solely with Acrobat Reader but could also involve how different PDF viewers handle form submission on iOS. There are no easy answers here! Review the properties and settings of the Submit button form field. Look for any unusual settings or options that might be causing compatibility issues. Try using a different type of form field for the Submit button (e.g., a regular button instead of a Submit button) to see if that makes a difference.  ...

@generous_captain7967 right off the bat, when was the last time the printer driver or firmware is updated? If the printer driver is updated, the fonts are either corrupted or not embedded correctly. PDFs can embed fonts, but sometimes only a subset of the characters used are included to reduce file size. If Acrobat is trying to access characters not embedded, it might substitute them with incorrect ones or display them as boxes. This could explain why some documents are affected and others aren't. Now saying that, there might be a conflict between the fonts embedded in the PDF and fonts installed on the user's system. Acrobat might be substituting fonts incorrectly, leading to the garbled text. You could try selecting "Print as Image." This will rasterize the entire document, potentially bypassing font rendering issues. This might reduce print quality slightly, but it's a good test.   ... View more

@NH Villager It might be a permission issue on your end. Check with the IT team. Also, in Acrobat's preferences, look for settings related to email or default applications. Ensure that Acrobat is configured to use your preferred email client (e.g., Outlook, Apple Mail) and that there are no restrictions on attaching files. Some email clients might have their own settings for handling attachments or security protocols that could be interfering with Acrobat's ability to attach files directly. ... View more

@Mary36826152p0wt there might be a temporary syncing issue with your Adobe Acrobat shared files. Although the files are still accessible via the shared link, they're not appearing in the "Shared by You" section within Acrobat or on the cloud. To troubleshoot this, first, try logging out of your Adobe Acrobat account and then logging back in. This can often refresh the connection and resync your shared files. If that doesn't work, try clearing the cache and cookies within the web browser and Acrobat, as outdated data might be causing display issues.  Now, sign in to Acrobat Web: Go to https://documentcloud.adobe.com/ and sign in with your Adobe account. Use the search function to look for the specific PDF file by its name. It might be located in a different folder or under a different section than "Shared by You." If you can still access the file via the shared link, open the link and check the sharing permissions. It's possible that the sharing settings were accidentally changed, restricting your access to the file through the "Shared by You" sections.  ... View more

@ektrontek This could be due to the complexity of the .ai files, which often contain high-resolution graphics, complex paths and gradients and embedded fonts. To improve performance, you can try adjusting a few settings in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Reader. Adobe Illustrator: Simplifying your Illustrator file by reducing the number of points and paths, as complex artwork can strain resources. Secondly, decrease the resolution of raster effects, which can significantly impact file size and processing time. Also, hide or delete unused layers, swatches, images and objects to minimize the amount of data Illustrator needs to handle.  Adobe Reader: First, try simplifying the print output by selecting "Print as Image" in the advanced print settings. This will rasterize the .ai file, making it less complex for Reader to process. Second, consider reducing the print quality, which will decrease the file size and potentially speed up printing. Lastly, ensure that both Adobe Reader and your printer driver are updated to their latest versions, as updates often include performance improvements and bug fixes. Granted, if you are printing for CMYK, you really don't want to use low-resolution images, you do want CMYK images at 300ppi. The old saying, garbage in, garbage out!  ... View more
