Somehow, my swatches in Adobe Acrobat Pro have wound up in a tiny format.  I can barely see them, and it is nearly impossible to click on the color I want.  I don't know how they wound up that small or how to get them back to their original size.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thanks!   While the image below looks adequate here, compare it to the ruler and you will see just how tiny it really is. (Yes, that is one inch.)      ... View more

I have a rectangle in illustrator.  I need to expand the size.  For years, all I needed to do was select the rectangle, choose one of the white block handles, and drag it to the size I need.  Now when I do that, the box rotates on its center point.  It never increases in size.  I can't use a palette for this as it needs to be precise (I'm sure 99.9% of illustrator users have this same need).  Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution to this?  Hopefully it is just something I need to click to change the way something is working! Thank you so much! GS ... View more

Hello.  Been working in adobe apps for years, but fillable forms are fairly new to me.  I am creating a set of forms that have variable-sized fillable text boxes on each page.  For instance, one page may require a short statement (ie, went to the park), while the next page would require a long description of that first answer (ie, paragraphs describing how they went to the park and what they did while they were there).  Each text box must have a predetermined number of characters since the forms will be printed after they are completed.  I have searched but cannot figure out how to (1) let the user know how many characters are allowed in the text box before they start typing and (2) perhaps offer a little note that lets them know how many characters they have left in the text box as they are typing.   Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn more about how to do this?  I just can't seem to find the answers.   Thanks, GS ...

I have used InDesign for many years, and, to create a dashed line around an object, I have always gone to the stroke palette, entered the number I wanted the dashes to be spaced by, clicked enter, and had it changed.  Took about a second.    Now that space to enter the numbers is missing and it appears Adobe thinks I want to save that stroke as a style, go into yet another palette, play with some ruler, etc., etc., etc.  I can't believe they really chose to add so much extra work to something that was literally almost an after thought.    Does anyone know of a way to get those boxes back?  I use them all of the time and seriously don't want to have to waste my time creating a "style" that is not needed.  Each time I need a dashed line, it is custom for the particular item I am working on.    I am working on a PC in the latest ID.  Thanks for any help.

I opened acrobat pro, and nothing is the same.  No tools, no sidebar.  What is going on?  Who did this and how can I get the old UI back?  How do I get the toolbar across the top of the screen back?  When I click on Tools at the top I get a child's coloring box of tool names.  I don't need adobe to tell me which tools I need handy.   Why does adobe think changing things is a good idea?  Really, it's not like we are going to quit paying.  I'd pay for them to NOT change things, actually.  I don't have time to learn something that I already know.  What a waste of my time.   Any help would be appreciated.  It is basically unusable without the tools readily available.  Maybe it is just a simple fix that I haven't seen.  I'm hoping!  GS   ...
