No, the name property can't be changed in this way.

> In every case, the script fails to rename the fields. This makes me think Acrobat's security settings are blocking the critical function: f.rename(). Another option (the correct one) is that there's no such function to begin with...

But then you have to remove it later on, as it would cause an error when used in Reader.

Neat trick!

I'm not familiar with a 2030-bug (although it is possible). There is a 2038-bug with Unix (or any other 32-bit based system), though, and an Acrobat-specific bug for 2050, as the util object converts 2-digit year numbers below 50 as 20xx and above it (including) as 19xx, like this: util.scand("mm/dd/yy", "01/01/49") Fri Jan 01 2049 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Romance Daylight Time) util.scand("mm/dd/yy", "01/01/50") Sun Jan 01 1950 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Romance Daylight Time)

No one here can help you, I'm afraid. It's just Adobe's way of getting rid of customers with this (completely justified, IMO) complaint...

What version of Acrobat? Assuming it's a relatively new one, and that you have a subscription, simply log out of your account on the old computer, then install it on the new computer, and log in. Do NOT try to copy over the application itself. That's not going to work.

This is a bit tricky to do. If the fields are perfectly aligned (and are the only ones at that x-location on the page) then you can use a script to identify them based on their location, and then change their tooltips all at once. Or if they follow a specific name pattern then it can also be done using a script that will search for fields that match that pattern, and then edit them.

It's possible to attach this command to a menu item that will allow you to run it with a single click, but that will require a more complex script and some set-up. Alternatively, you can go to Tools - Action Wizard (not Custom Command, as I wrote before) and create a new Action that executes this code (make sure to untick the box that says "Prompt User" when you add the code to the Action). Then you will be able to run it on your file(s) by executing this Action on them.

try67 · ‎Oct 23, 2025

The editing tools are a part of the application, not the file.

try67 · ‎Oct 23, 2025

Remove it entirely from the file, or "fix" it? For the former, you can use the Redaction tool and draw an area over it, then apply the redaction. For the latter, re-scan the text using a higher resolution and save it in a lossless format, such as PNG, instead of JPEG, which is compressed in a way that loses quality and information.

This seems to be a bug in the current version of Acrobat. Until Adobe fixes it, you can use the following code to achieve what you described: for (var p=0; p<this.numPages; p++) { this.extractPages(p, p, this.path.replace(/\.pdf$/i, "_P"+(p+1)+".pdf")); } You can use it from a Custom Command, for example, or the JS Console.

try67 · ‎Oct 23, 2025

And yes, it is very badly designed.

try67 · ‎Oct 23, 2025

Forget about Ctrl+F. Go to Tools and enter "prepare" into the search field and you should see it: You can then also right-click it and select Add Shortcut so it appears in the Tools pane directly.

try67 · ‎Oct 21, 2025

Not worth it. The application might split them up on its own, anyway. Focus on getting the tags and the Reading Order set up correctly.

- You did not mention anything before about Android. - Seeing the file is critical to being able to reproduce the problem. - I do not work for Adobe, and this is not Adobe Support, but a User-to-User Forum (for the most part). Most people posting here do so voluntarily, in their free time, including myself. But I won't bother trying to help you any further. Good luck with your problem.

What you can do in Standard to achieve this, though, is to combine all the PDFs first to a single file, then export the pages of that combined file to JPG images.

try67 · ‎Oct 21, 2025

You can't use Acrobat Standard for a batch process. You must have Acrobat Pro.

try67 · ‎Oct 21, 2025

I just tried it with a secured file (on Android, not iOS, but it shouldn't matter) that allows commenting, and it worked fine. Unless you can provide a sample file, it's very difficult to help you any further with this issue.

try67 · ‎Oct 21, 2025

In what way is it not working the same? Provide a detailed description, please, and share a sample file that demonstrates it.

try67 · ‎Oct 21, 2025

I changed it for you (only a moderator can edit a post).

try67 · ‎Oct 21, 2025

It seems someone already removed it. Please close this thread.

How is this related to Acrobat?

> The current situation suggests that the iPad version does not offer equivalent capabilities to the desktop version, even though they are marketed under the same subscription and price model. They are absolutely not the same. The mobile version is much more limited. Where did you see that it said they offer the same functionalities, or that it said that a functionality exists on the mobile version, which is not actually there?

try67 · ‎Oct 21, 2025

If you read the post carefully, they are trying to edit an image inside the PDF using paint, not the entire PDF file (as the title confusingly suggests)...

try67 · ‎Oct 20, 2025

If that's the exact operation you want to execute for all files you can use the following script to do it: this.movePage(5, -1); Add it to your Action, with a Save command, and then run it on your files.

try67 · ‎Oct 20, 2025

Is it only on the cloud? That's very unlikely. You most likely have local copies of it on your computer. Also, what exactly happens when you try to access it from the cloud? And be aware that are global issues today with web-based services, so the fact it's not working right now doesn't necessarily mean it's gone. It could just be inaccessible temporarily.

try67 · ‎Oct 20, 2025

Many online services are not working today due to issues with AWS.

try67 · ‎Oct 20, 2025

Many online services are not working due to issues with AWS. This is what happens when you rely on web-based services, instead of ones that run locally on your machine...

try67 · ‎Oct 20, 2025

Yes, there are worldwide issues due to problems in AWS.
