Re: Where Is The Undo Button In Adobe Acrobat Pro Dc
Achmat Das
Hello. I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and there is no Undo button anywhere. I went looking for it after I accidentally deleted all of the text I had spent a good amount of time typing previously! I then typed into the original box my text was in "Text deleted "
I came to this forum and tried the Ctrl + Z function and it only seemed to work on the most recent edit. So, it "Undid" the typed "Text deleted". I selected Ctrl + Z again, and nothing showed up. I tried it several times.
If you go to the line / ribbon / whatever they call it -- where the print icon is and right click, you will get a drop down menu with several options. Go to "SHOW EDIT TOOLS" which includes "undo" and "redo". Spent forever trying to figure this out! and I've used Adobe for YEARS. Shouldn't be this freaking hard.
I really don't know why the arrows aren't visible by default. I also don't know why everyone else in this thread insists on using the menu option (with the buttons it's a one click action and the buttons are impossible to miss. Navigating to the menu on the other hand is two clicks and a drop down - and it's also somewhat easy to mis-click if you got a touch screen). So just to be sure people searching for buttons know buttons do exist here's also a screen snippet as proof ^^
Well, I don't know about Adobe's design aims.they are often a puzzle, but don't seem aimed at helping efficient use. I confess I never use undo buttons (I wouldn't even go looking for one), and almost never use the Undo menu. I automatically do Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Command+Z (Mac).
I was able to add the undo and redo button to the tool bar, but they're as useless as the ones in the Edit menu as it only works on the very last thing you did. Even whenb adding a comment and then changing your mind, pressing undo only closes the text format window, it DOESN'T DELETE THE TEXT YOU JUST ENTERED bring you back to where you were before adding the comment. USELESS !
As I can't edit my previous comment (ironic, don't you think...), here's what i meant to say. The undo/redo buttons do work, but only for the last thing you did and it doesn't work on a text comment added on the document (on top of what's there) once you clicked out of that text. For example, it works if I add a shape around something to highlight it, I can "remove" it, but if if I add the comment "important" next to the same item and I click out of the text line, can't undo ! The only way is to select that comment and delete it.
For someone like me who reviews documents often, it's a real time waster. Why can't you have an undo/redo function like in a Word document, where you can go back and forward as much as you want ? Acrobat is not cheap, this is not ok.
I think the point here is that people seem to be looking for an undo button but don't know that there is an undo menu. Which, despite what you say, does exactly the same thing. What's the big deal about clicking on a menu? Is it really so uncool these days?
If your screen doesn't have the Acrobat icon in the window bar, and the File, Edit, View, Window, Help menus, then you presumably aren't using Acrobat Reader DC, and the answers weren't applicable to you. If you believe you ARE using this, trade a screen shot.
My Acrobat just updated to the latest version. You know the version where litterally everything changed. Well I'm trying to customize and I can't seem to locate the undo button. I'm well aware of Ctrl-Z, but would like the option of a button.
The best thing I learned from that article is that this is a "new acrobat experiance" that can be disabled. So for now that is what I have done. There were definate aspects of the new experiance that I like, others not so much. Since this is still in a "beta" phase, I will opt out of using it for now.
The undo button (and redo button) recently appeared on the interface on the top of the document menu bar to the right of the Sign button. (You must make a change to a saved document in order for them to appear. (My guess is that Adobe is now pushing updates to Acrobat directly through the internet without me updating through Creative Cloud app.)
. When I select "Undo, Redo & more," the Undo/Redo are greyed out. I've seen the illustration in Adobe Help that shows the undo/redo buttons to the right of the Sign button like you mention on the 15th. Do you have any idea why mine are greyed out & how I can access them? Thank you.
The Zoom In (+) and Zoom Out (-) buttons, and the zoom percentage text box disappeared from my toolbar, and I can't get them back. These controls are only accessible through the menus or the undocked floating panel. Re-docking the panel doesn't bring these controls with it. Right-click "Show Select & Zoom Tools" doesn't even list them.
Someone else in my office showed me the path to the option and it showed up on theirs but was not on mine so I wasn't sure how to turn it off / on as it wasn't not even showing up there. Their path was View, Show / Hide, Toolbar Items, Show Select & Zoom tools, and that is where the + / - sign was showing up for them but not for me. So if this is the same problem your having, hover around the bottom tool bar.
Update to prior comment - the drop down % bar disappears when Acrobat is set to open new documents in new windows. When I reverted back to open new documents in a tab, the drop down % tool suddenly reappeared. This is still nuts... it should not matter if my document is open in a tab or a window - the same tools should be present in both views.
The "hover" trick does not work for me. I have the icon that looks like a keyboard with a down arrow that will bring up a box, but I cannot find a way to get the + / - controls back on the toolbar.
I also did the "reset toolbars" and no go (and now I have to go back and re-create the toolbars I had).
This is EXTREMELY frustrating.
Instead of giving us options on the bars, they take away user-friendly tools and then add a bunch of **** on the right side (eg there's a "provide feedback" button that takes up valuable toolbar space- but what's the point of that when they NEVER seem to listen to the feedback - or at least not mine).
I don't recall ever having to look so hard to do something so simple and reasonable. On a par with Windows hiding arrows at either end of a scroll bar, so the user has to sort of feel in the dark for them - to absolutely no advantage.
The controls are still hidden, you have to click the Zoom + icon before you can then click to zoom in and out. This is awful to use and causes frustration multiple times per document. How can you make the +/- controls stay in the toolbar, so you can click them directly?
Hello,
You can also press CTRL + Mousewheel for zooming.
But you have to click the document first for that it's active. It's weird because by default it should work just by hovering the document (in inactive documents).
I'm also a developer and i also think that some one does not research the default functionalities enough before implementing the zoom function in Adobe.
I was searching for the answer to this question as well, which is how I found this question here. I'm used to those controls being at the top, like past Reader versions. But they're auto hidden at the bottom of the page!! You need to hover at the bottom of the page to see the bar. SMH.Hope this helps.
As an engineer, I don't think the engineers decided to do this. Engineers like to add features, and redesign the code, they don't take features away. I'm guessing it's marketing/product managers who seem to be in love with a "simple clean look". (I admit adding features and redesign the code are not always good things--it can break existing features. THAT is engineers fault.)

*Tip*: You should avoid retagging the document after the first time. Retagging the document more than once would undo most accessibility progress made such as fixing alt-text, headings, table headers, etc. There is no undo button in acrobat.
Note: To correct this error, we fully recommend changing the font(s) used in the source document and re-converting it into a PDF. However, here are steps to fix it in case that is not an option.
5. After right clicking table editor the table will show the table data cell structures. Right click the data cells that should be table headers(normally the very top square cells). Click Table Cell Properties.
6. A Table Cell Properties menu should appear where you will change the property type to Header Cell and click OK to finish. Do this to all data cells that should be header cells.
*Tip*: You should avoid retagging the document after the first time if you can. Retagging the document more than once would undo most accessibility progress made like fixing alt-text, headings, table headers, etc. There is no undo button in acrobat.
Step 3: Manually check the title ALWAYS. Even though Acrobat sometimes clears the error, it's normally still not sufficient. We'll throw in an example after step 3 if you'd like to see what we mean.
