Every time I search for something and then want to adjust the screen by scrolling it a little, I press arrows keys several times, and when nothing happens, I remember that I have to either click on the document pane or press F6. I don’t see why this would be necessary.

On dark themes (white fonts on dark backgrounds) the document indexes can not be seen.

I know this is a developer forum, but I tried Adobe support and they were of no help, so I searched for a blog about Adobe Reader and this is where it led me. We’re a small travel company with forms that people need to fill out for their trip. Currently we have Reader 8 which we use to post PDFs on our site so people can print them off and mail them in. We would like to upgrade and create forms so people don’t have to mail them in, just enter their info then email it to us. I noticed this is now standard on Reader 9. My boss simply wants to see a PDF form in action on somebody else’s site before we spend the money on the upgrade. Got any examples you can direct me to?
Thank you very much,
Kurt Baehmann

I see you’re making MDI a priority. PLEASE do so.
Still, if you go for a tabbed view, remember to make it possible to split the tab.
I might want to look at two documents, or two versions of the same document, at the same time.
Imagine that I’m reading a paper, and I need to reference some figure or graphic on some other page…
Thank you.

2. I want a 64bit version so that I don’t have to use the 32bit emulation thing, which is just extremely buggy – It crashses randomly and it brings down the entire browser.

To be honest I can’t believe don’t have 1. and 2. yet, 1. was supported ages ago in Evince/Okular and 2. Flash has a 64bit version, I don’t see why we don’t have for reader as well.

To admin; Please email to your response.

Maybe it is already possible but i didn’t found a option listed in the help menu for acroread.
I really would appreciate this function. :)

(i.e. keep ctrl-L, but add F11 as a keybinding to do the same thing).

The F11 key is a fairly standardised key binding used by many other gnome apps (e.g. Firefox, Rhythmbox, Songbird, Gnome-Terminal, Epiphany, gThumb, F-Spot, Totem, geany, Eye of gnome, etc etc). So much so, that every time I want to view a PDF in full-screen in acrobat reader, I always find myself trying F11 first (muscle-memory) and being surprised that it doesn’t work. Hopefully a key-binding for this can be added by default in a future version of acroread.

It would be great if Adobe had a good one so I could take my work with me on the road and at home.
