Hi Everyone,
Hope you can help me with a problem I’m having with Acrobat X Pro. When I make any changes, be it adding or deleting a word, apply a style …any change, to a document that contains several paragraphs that reside in a text box, once I click outside the text box after the change has been made, the paragraphs collapse into one. I then have to go back and recreate them using shift + return keys. It’s driving me crazy. The paragraphs stay separated as long as I don’t make anymore changes.

Most likely it’s me that’s not doing things right, but I haven’t been able to figure out what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear that you're not liking the experience with Acrobat XI. I agree with you that the change from Acrobat 8 will feel quite abrupt, but give it a chance. You'll find Acrobat XI to be a lot better when it comes to performance and functionality. Some tools have been renamed, and others rearranged, but most of the functionality exists, either as you are used to, or most probably enhanced. If you have any specific issues, do let me know, and I can either work with you directly, or get you in touch with somebody who can. You can also submit your feature requests here.

I just don’t understand why they would make things more difficult in XL. Now when I email from XL it doesn’t fill out the subject. It did in 8. Now the typewriter tool is replaced by a text box which you have to dig for. In version 8 I had a button up top. And I’ve only used it for less than a day. Everything is more cumbersome. I don’t even like the way it looks. 8 was much more appealing. I hate this program. I just wasted $139. I’m uninstalling it and reloading 8. I will NEVER buy another adobe product!
