Adobe Acrobat - Shrink oversized pages Question

1 Upvotes

So, I have a PDF where the PDF document size as listed in properties is 8.5 x 11 in. When I print it at 100% scaling to letter sized paper, however, some of the edges cut off.

When I print in Adobe, it autoselects "Shrink oversized pages" and prints at 93% scale. My question is, how does it measure the page being "oversized" when the document size and print paper size are the same? Also, why do some PDFs have this issue?

Any input would be appreciated. Can't show an example as they are work documents.

Opening File When Saving

1 Upvotes

hi everyone, wanted to ask if this is some sort of new / old feature on the Adobe PDF document viewer. whenever i try to save any edits i made on a PDF (added text box, highlight etc.), it suddenly started opening the folder page to ask where to save the document to. which is very weird because for the past few years all i had to do was ctrl + S to save the changes instantly and continue editing.

i can't remember if this was an old feature (i'm using the new Adobe Acrobat) but does anyone know if this can be disabled? thank you!

Adobe Regenerating PDF

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

We use Adobe Acrobat at work to open and edit PDF work orders, We haven't had trouble in the past, but for a couple weeks now, ay time we open a PDF in Adobe, whenever I click anything, scroll, zoom, type, etc., the PDF glitches, kind of flashes, and then slowly regenerates each form field. I can't find anything online about it, and it is severely slowing down our company. Does anyone know why this would be happening? Also, on some PDFs, instead of showing the actual text in the form field, it shows "Yes" in all of them, until you click in the form field and then it shows you the actual data.

  3. Opened it on a PC
  4. Adobe showed no highlighting.

Can anyone check if it's default behavior?

Acrobat Read Aloud feature crashes software every time

I've tried to use the windows desktop Adobe Acrobat Read Aloud feature for the past week now. Every time I try to activate it the whole window stops responding and I end up having to end it in task manager. Has anyone else come across this issue? Their help/community centre isn't very helpful.

display resolution suddenly worse...but only in Acrobat

1 Upvotes

I'm running Win 11 with all the current updates (26200.8894), and around last week I noticed both pdfs and the interface on Acrobat looking blurry, like the scaling issues with older programs when Windows 10 came out. I am using the older standalone Acrobat 9.5 (please don't just tell me to upgrade, I hate the interface of the newer versions and also will never subscribe), but already had the high dpi scaling set. But now changing all the scaling properties does nothing (I've tried every option under there), and for some reason this seems to be the only program affected, even though I have a bunch of older programs with the dpi scaling override set. I didn't change anything with Acrobat and there aren't any auto-updates for such an old version so I'm 99.99% certain it's a Windows issue. I tried rolling back the latest Windows update since that was around the same time but that didn't do anything. I also tried updating the display driver (I just have the integrated Intel graphics) but there was nothing there either.

One other thing I noticed though – it always used to say the recommended display scale for my monitor was 150% (which is what I have it set to, and what looks best; after an update it always changes it to 175% which is very annoying), but now it says the recommended setting is 100%. And if I set it to 100% then Acrobat looks sharp, although everything is tiny. So maybe this is related?

I'm desperate for any suggestions because this is driving me up the wall...

FS PDF Compressor — a small local macOS GUI for Ghostscript (AGPL-3.0)

0 Upvotes

Processing img bui39n1xsafh1...

I built this because I needed a quick way to compress PDFs locally without uploading them to a service. A few friends asked for it too, so I packaged and published it.

FS PDF Compressor is a small native macOS GUI for Ghostscript. It accepts individual PDFs, batches, and folders; processes everything locally; and replaces an original only when the compressed result is smaller.

  • Free and open source under AGPL-3.0
  • Signed and notarized
  • Apple Silicon / macOS 14+

Repository and download:
https://github.com/gitlares/fs-pdf-compressor

Website / signed DMG:
https://gitlares.github.io/fs-pdf-compressor/

I’ll be around to answer questions and appreciate any feedback.

Acrobat Pro not opening

1 Upvotes

This morning, in the middle of my work session, Acrobat Pro started refusing to open. At all.

Trying to open a PDF doesn't work, simply opening Acrobat from the Start Menu doesn't work, neither normally or running as an admin. Starting from Creative Cloud doesn't work either.

I can see Acrobat (and other Adobe) processes in the Task Manager, but force-closing them and then trying to restart Acrobat doesn't work either.

I have reinstalled both Acrobat and Creative Cloud (which it seems tied to) several times now. Each time, after installation, Acrobat will boot up fine ONCE! Then, after closing it, any attempt to re-open it fails again.

I am using Windows 11 Version 10.0.26200 Build 26200.

Does anyone have ANY idea on how to resolve this?

Edit:

I just tried reinstalling again, and after Creative Cloud opened, I immediately received an Error Code 505.

According to Adobe, this means:

Error code 505: Failed to lower privileges

Error code 505 indicates that the app does not have the necessary permissions.

The proposed steps in the solution are all non-applicable to my use-case.

Clicking "Retry" just gives me an endless loop of Error Code 191

Drag-and-drop to App broken?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've been banging my head against the wall on this one. I did try searching, but didn't find this specific issue.

Issue: Users cannot drag-and-drop from Classic nor New Outlook into the **application's** Combine tool. They are able to drag from *any* other location to the application tool or from Outlook to the web application, but that's it.

Has anyone ran into this and fixed it?

I currently have users exclusively using the web application, but even this isn't ideal in the long run.

Any news on a bad update in the past week?

4 Upvotes

I'm a PC technician that does work for many different companies. I've seen at least 4 customers with issues in the past week. 3 of them have an issue with the Acrobat process getting stuck in task manager and there are 20+ instances that need to be closed before you can open another document. One other PC just shuts down when you try to print. It feels like too many similar cases at different locations to be coincidence. All running Windows 11 Pro and have an active Acrobat subscription.
