Adobe Integration Issue
From within my Access app, I've been able to open, edit, save and close a pdf file using the Adobe Acrobat reference. The app had been running great for several months. Recently, the VBA "Save" command no longer saves the pdf. I have verified this issue on multiple devices and similar Access apps. Adobe Support says they're not at blame. Is anyone aware of a patch, update, etc. from Microsoft (or Adobe) that might be causing this issue?
Edge New PDF Reader form security bug
Edge can not display a certain PDF under the following conditions. Edge "New PDF Viewer" feature is enabled at "edge://flags/#edge-new-pdf-viewer". A pdf is encrypted with the security setting of "Changed allowed" as "Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields". Showing and Hiding texts with Acrobat form Javascript does not work properly. Notice: a. Adobe Reader works as expected. Chrome PDF Viewer works as expected. Firefox works as expected. Even Edge old pdf viewer works as expected. b. If a PDF is not encrypted, the same PDF works as expected. Example: https://www.shtml.jp/test/202412/edge_form_2024_security.pdf ShowText button and HideText Button does not work as expected in the case of Edge with "New PDF Viewer" enabled. The Same pdf with no security https://www.shtml.jp/test/202412/edge_form_2024_nosecurity.pdf Both ShowText button and HideText Button does work as expected in the case of Edge with "New PDF Viewer" enabled as well.
Feature Request: PDF Layer Support in the new Adobe PDF Engine for Edge
Beschreibung: Mit der Umstellung des integrierten PDF‑Viewers in Microsoft Edge auf die Adobe Acrobat PDF‑Engine (Rollout ab 2023, vollständige Ablösung des Legacy‑Engines bis Juni 2026) ist es entscheidend, dass wichtige Profi‑Funktionen nicht verloren gehen. Ein zentraler Wunsch vieler Anwender ist die vollständige Unterstützung von PDF‑Layern. Gerade in technischen Bereichen – etwa bei CAD‑Zeichnungen, Bauplänen oder Schaltbildern – sind Layer unverzichtbar, um Inhalte gezielt ein‑ oder auszublenden und komplexe Dokumente verständlich darzustellen. Wir bitten darum, sicherzustellen, dass die neue Adobe‑Integration in Edge auch diese Layer‑Funktionalität nativ unterstützt. Ohne diese Funktion bleibt Edge für professionelle PDF‑Workflows eingeschränkt und zwingt Nutzer weiterhin zu Dritt‑Viewern. Use‑Case‑Beispiele: Elektrotechnik: Kabelpläne mit Layern für Signal‑, Strom‑ und Steuerleitungen Architektur: Baupläne mit Layern für unterschiedliche Gewerke (Elektro, Sanitär, Statik) Dokumentation: Technische Handbücher mit optionalen Layern für Detailansichten Eine native Layer‑Unterstützung würde die neue Adobe‑Engine in Edge deutlich aufwerten und den Einsatz für Fachanwender erheblich verbessern. gb-EN Description: With Microsoft Edge transitioning its built‑in PDF viewer to the Adobe Acrobat PDF engine (rollout starting in 2023, legacy engine removed by June 2026), it is crucial to ensure that key professional features are not overlooked. One of the most requested capabilities is full support for PDF layers. In technical fields – such as CAD drawings, construction plans, or electrical schematics – layers are essential to selectively show or hide content and make complex documents easier to understand. We kindly ask that the new Adobe integration in Edge natively supports PDF layers. Without this functionality, Edge remains limited for professional PDF workflows and forces users to rely on third‑party viewers. Use‑Case Examples: Electrical engineering: cable diagrams with separate layers for signal, power, and control lines Architecture: construction plans with layers for different trades (electrical, plumbing, structural) Documentation: technical manuals with optional detail layers Native layer support would significantly enhance the Adobe PDF engine in Edge and make it far more valuable for professional users.
