Hi, @Joey33760145b1ck, besides the suggestion of @Meenakshi Negi, be aware that changing the font and font size may have unintended consequences. The ability for PDF documents to word-wrap to other pages is nonexistent. Thus, if you're going to a smaller font size, the ability of the text on subsequent pages to slide up to fill the void will not happen. Likewise, if you go to a larger font and font size, the text is likely to fall off the page and not be seen. It will not slip onto the next page as would happen in a page layout or word processing application.   The BEST way to do what you want is to go back to the original application that created the document, make your changes, and then re-PDF the document. If you do not have access to the original application, or you did not create the original application, your next-best option would be to export the document into (say) an MS Word format, make the necessary changes, and then re-PDF the document.   Sorry, but that's the way it is. ...

Hi, @christophe_2219, it's odd that it's completely blocked usually; it just performs either very oddly or poorly. This is because Bridge was never designed to work with NAS and Network systems. Since the original release, Bridge has only worked with standard drives, either the Main HD or any externally connected drives.   You do not mention whether you are on a PC or a Mac. Have you provided your OS authorization to access other drives? ... View more

Hi, @debunix, what I do to do that is give the images a rating or a label (say, 1 star or a red label). Then after I'm done, I search for all 1 star images, verify I do not want any of them, and then delete them. Would that work?   If you currently have your ratings and labels set up to require a number and the Command/Control key, here's how to switch that to just the number:     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0PO-rnn0uE ...

Hi, @scenicshutterbug. Having success and then failure is not uncommon when it comes to RAID or network issues. How it's connected does not really make much difference.    For lack of anything different to think of, have you tried converting your images to DNGs? I've been using DNGs from the very beginning and use them all the time. One thing it "might" help with is the location of where the images and the xmp files are located with the mechanics of a RAID system (things move around, and they may not be moving together).   I'd suggest that you take a group of (say) fifty images and convert them to DNG format. (When this is done, the original files are not automatically deleted; you have to do that yourself.) Then try and work with them as you have been. I do not know if you'd need to let them sit for a day or so to integrate into your RAID system, but it's worth considering for the test.   To get the DNG converter, go here: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/adobe-dng-converter.html   ...

Sorry, @scenicshutterbug, there's your problem.    Bridge is not designed to work with networks. It may partially work, or it may seem to work OK, but minor shifts in something within the network can cause it to stop working entirely.    From the get-go, Bridge was designed to work only with connected files (hard drives and external drives). Networks are not easy for applications like Bridge to connect to, that's why systems that work with networks are expensive. Many years ago, Adobe had a network system as part of its CS system (before the Creative Cloud). They gave up on it. If you move your files onto directly connected hard drives, your problems will probably be over.    FWIW, here's what I do:  I have a 4 TB drive that holds my images and many documents. I use a 2nd 4TB drive to back up my first drive. I manually do this at least once a week or more often if I've done a lot of work. (If you have a Mac system, I can strongly recommend Chronosync for this backup strategy. I’m sorry, I cannot make a similar recommendation for PCs. Regardless, look for backup software that can update your data as opposed to constantly replacing your data.) I use a 3rd 4TB drive for Apple's Time Machine. I also use a cloud service in case the house burns down. Am I paranoid? No, I’m just a realist. In a worst-case scenario, I would not lose much, at worst, sometimes a bit more than I'd like, but nothing horrendous. [Note: the 4TB is entirely based on what I need. Your needs may demand more or less hard drive space. Whatever you think you need, double it. Oh, the backup drives, you do not need SSDs or anything fancy or fast, just reliable. Just to let you know, your first backup will take a long time.] ... View more

In Bridge, a 6000 px wide image cannot show 100%. That would limit visibility to only 36% of the total image on your screen. When you open a file in ACR, you CAN see 100%, but then you have to switch back and forth from Bridge to ACR and back as needed. Alternatively, you can load a number of images in ACR, but I'm not sure what your workflow is, so I do not know how well that would work for you.   I suggest you take a look at Lightroom Classic, which can do what you want. FWIW, it might be important to remember that LRC is ACR with a database.   Sorry, I can't help you. ... View more

Hi, @joeh87907460. I'm not fully sure what you're looking for because there is a broad range of options.    #1) The "Loupe" tool is activated by clicking on the image in the Preview Panel on the image. You can have this set in the Settings to display when you click on the image or if you're holding the Command/Control key and clicking.  I prefer the latter because I find it annoying to pop up when all I did was click on the image. To undo it, you simply click within the Loupe's image.   2) The Preview Panel does not display as a Loupe view as seen in (say) Lightroom or Lightroom Classic. For reasons that make no sense to me, the Preview Panel is placed so it barely shows the image beyond a larger thumbnail in the Essentials Workspace. I created my own workspace with the Preview Panel front and center, as shown below. Notice I renamed this workspace as "Gary's Workspace." Clever, huh? Now, the Preview Panel will display UP TO 100% and thereafter, it will be something smaller. Let me explain. If your screen is (say) 2000 pixels wide and the image is 1000 pixels wide, the image can be displayed at 100% (unless you decrease the size of your Bridge's window). But let's say you have an image that is 4000 pixels wide. At best, that image can only be seen at 50%.   I hope this solves your issue; if not, a screenshot would be helpful.   Good luck!   ...

If the images are of different sizes, the PDFs will reflect that. In Acrobat, what you give is what you get.   Personally, I think the easiest way to do that is to use Adobe Bridge (It's free, even without an Adobe subscription, but you do need to have an Adobe registered username, which you do from Acrobat.    https://www.adobe.com/products/bridge.html    Bridge is more a viewer than an application, so you do not need to import images into it. Have your images in a folder and open that folder in Bridge. Select the "Output" Workspace. On the right panel, at the top, select the page kind (in your case, "letter"). In Grid and Margins, be sure to select "1" for Columns and Rows. As far as the rest of the options, I think they are pretty obvious. Once all of your decisions are made, click the "Export to PDF" button on the bottom right. ... View more

Duplication in Acrobat is not like duplication in the Finder or Explorer. In the latter two cases, both OSs wish to make sure that the new copy/duplicate will not override the previous option/file. A field is neither an option nor a file.   Having no idea what the subject of your PDF file will be used for, let me make something up using "first name." If the internal structure of the form is all "First name" and that is copied. Then, your first name would be placed as your mother's first name, your father's first name, your sibling's first name, etc, because it will make a copy of that name field. It's just going to take that content, and any time there is a first name field, it will show what's been placed there in any place in the form. This is good because it eliminates having to reenter the same data over and over.   If, when you create the form, you provide content in the new fields, you can do a whole lot more. So, if you have a field for your mother and a field for your father, etc., in the end, you can have a list of all of the family's names simply by listing the fields. Nothing else has to be done.    And, if it makes you feel any better, I was banging my head against the table trying to get past this when creating my first form until I realized what was happening and why.   So, to answer the question and save time, you have to take a bit of time—just enough to make each distinct field unique. And one extra tip. "First name 1," "First name 2 " is NOT as good as "Member's first name," "Mother's first name," Father's first name," etc.   I hope that helps. ... View more

Hello, @jonathans3438240, I removed your email from your message. Please, for your own sake, be mindful of my warning.   As far as your issue, please be aware that Acrobat 17 reached its EOL (End of Life) on Nov. 21st, 2023. That means that Adobe will not provide support or assistance to that product. As hardware and operating systems are constantly moving targets, keeping older software viable is, well, not viable.   One thing you can try to solve your issue is to export the contents of your PDF as a Text Document (.txt). It will require a bit of time to reconstruct its appearance, but that will take a lot less time for what you're describing.   Good luck! ... View more

Hi, @Amy24565900luwu, quick question: were you using an old version of the Raleway font or had you downloaded it from the Adobe fonts using your ACC access?   I ask because Raleway was originally a Postscript font, and Adobe no longer uses Postscript fonts. I wonder if that's your issue. If so, here's how I suggest you try to fix this: My solution is all based your using an application that has Paragraph Styles (Word, InDesign, Pages, etc.). Take all of the text that has the Raleway font and give it something radically different; think Comic Sans.    Now, delete Raleway from your system   Now install Raleway from the Adobe Font Collection (this    Now update the paragraph style to Ralewale (probably a TrueType font).   If the original was not a Postscript font, all of the above will probably not help. ...
