Remove Try Acrobat Pro Dc Button
Joyce Buzard
How can I get rid of a button-type link created in another program, which the Acrobat program 'sees' but gives the error message "button not supported in this version of Acrobat". The software the original document was created in is not available, so I am seeking any method to remove or hide these buttons and disable the hot spot on them.
thanks,
There is an Acrobat JavaScript method which does hide toolbar buttons, named hideToolbarButton(). What you will have to do, is to get the name of the buttons concerned, and then write an application-level JavaScript which you will have to install in the user's machines.
More about the use of this method, and how to find the names of the buttons can be found in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation (which is part of the Acrobat SDK Documentation, downloadable from the developer section of the Adobe website).
Acrobat does not include that kind of toolbar customization. You can possibly get some room back by disabling Touch Mode in Preferences > General, but that won't remove any buttons. If you want a different UI, you're going to have to use different software.
I (and many others it seems) are not asking for you to remove these "features" (bugs) from the application completely - we want to be able to remove them from the toolbar in the advent that they hamper work flow or use up space better used for features that are used or simply mean more work (as per above).
Agree that the blue messages like this "Share" popup (or whatever these promotional messages are called these days) shown in the attached image, is one of the annoying features of the most recent update to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
As if the other changes to layout and interface were not disruptive enough, this kind of nonsense has no place in a product marketed as "Pro" (as in professional). Or has that word too been abused into utter meaninglessness by marketers?
This button is ugly, annoying, way too big and always blocking something useful. To prevent users from disabling this little bugger, some marketing guys disabled the disabling. So that is how customers are treated?
But is there a way to hide the "share", "provide feedback", and "learn adobe DC) buttons from the toolbar? They take up far too much real estate and make it so I cannot have the tools that I want to quickly access in the toolbar when I shrink the window down to the width of the page I am viewing. This is a big economical problem for when I want to review and annotate multiple documents at a time.
Please give us the ability to show/hide whatever we want in the tool bar. Productivity is everything and the inability to remove unwanted items has a significant negative effect on mine. It sounds like this is negatively affecting most everyone else who uses the product also.
I echo the frustration of others. This is a really sad "enhancement" that simply gets in the way. It's unnecessary, inconvenient, ill-considered, annoying, and ultimately frustrating that it can't be removed. This kind of arrogant we-know-better-than-you-what-you-need from Adobe isn't winning any friends.
If we were unsure on how to "use them" (in the advent that someone did want to - although look at all the posts in this thread) they can be accessed easily enough under the menus (or placed in the toolbar via the "preferences" option -under MacOs and whatever windows uses.
I SHARE your frustration. Unfortunately there is one feature in Acrobat my new replacement app can not match. Though after talking with them they assured me they are working on the issue. So for now I was forced back to paying $15 a month for an app I use once or twice every 30 days.
I now see that this is a lost cause. The design member or team who came up with this (aside from being foolish and self righteous) obviously dug in to maintain the bug. Er, feature. Despite hundreds of lengthy posts on Reddit, discuss, talk-back, etc. All undeniably against this.
I will attach my .reg file along with this post (in .txt format). I am certain that there are some excess modifications within the .reg file that doesn't really do anything, but, I don't want to spend any more time fixing an annoying problem that Adobe could have easily fixed years ago, if they had actually listened to their customers. Maybe they should try reading the book I'ved attached in my example to better understand the frustration we've been feeling. Reading it could maybe help them realize that if they continue to ruin the customer experience, they're not going to keep getting more customers, regardless of how much cloud advertisements they try to shove down everyone's throat.
This was fixed by the engineers in December 2018 after feedback from users. Right-click the toolbar and choose "Hide Share Button Label". The first screen shot shows the Share button. In the second, it is gone.
Can you please explain the issue you have with : Feedback, Help, Notification and Profile icons in top bar? Since they are in top bar, they do not take up any space from your toolbars neither are obstructing any workflows. For Share button, switching off the label makes it occupy a small space in toolbar. Hope that works. Thanks.
Additionally - any tools I might wish to put into the toolbar (that I actually use) are not displayed (and are put into a "dropbox" or "listbox" ) because I cannot use the space that these buttons occupy. This means that I constantly use the menu options for features that I regularly use.
They are - directly in the quick tools toolbar, I'm not sure why you claim they are not. Please note that if I say they are in the way - and disrupt my workflow - then that is what happens. Do not presume to "correct me", it is plain rude.
Therefore they are simply (by definition) IN THE WAY. It doesn't matter if you think that the gray button is smaller that the blue one. The fact is there are 5 buttons using up part of the toolabr that I'd much prefer they did not.
Additionally, when I send a form for my client to complete - they are confused as to it return - it has caused problems. It has caused me to spend unnecessary time and effort in order to retrieve their completed forms in a manner that I can use (that I pay for).
I'm not insisting that these options be removed form the software - just that they can be removed from the toolbar - so that I (and it appears many others) can use the software that we pay for. I pay for adobe in an effort to save time, to make things easier both for myself and for my clients.
Be advised that some registry keys are not lockable and you may want to do a more extensive research on which registry keys will allow a permanent change if messing with the registry is fine with you.
No, there is no way to do that at this time... You may, however, petition here in this forum that the development teams consider your request so that they can implement it in a future release. So your feedback is gold.
I am trying to remove or hide the 4 commandbuttons when exporting to PDF. The way I do it works for the first time exporting but if I export the same file again, I'll get an error referring to this line: Me.CommandButton3.Select even though all buttons are back. Is there a better way of hiding without having to delete them? I dont have printobject under properties as suggested on the internet. I should add, I still have other macros like a publish_date I do not wanna remove.
Also, I realized those commandbuttons arent saved as shapes, so trying to hide shapes didnt work either. But what about linking them to shapes and making the other shapes go into the fore and background when saving to PDF? would that work?!
It isnt working and I need the buttons back after exporting. Below my code with deleting the buttons, getting them back, but also getting an error with commandbutton 3 not working anymore, which is saving the file as .docm:
Ok I found a solution that works with a few tricks. So I added 4 rectangle shapes and I only wanna make 3 disappear while saving as PDF. It works when I wrap 3 of those shapes behind the text (or buttons) and add
Somehow it does put those 3 in front of the text and only puts those three behind the text again and leaving the 4th rectangle permanent in front of another text. Just as I want it. Below my entire code:
In interactive form designs,it is common practice to have one or more sections in the form thatare not displayed until the user selects the option to include it. WithDesigner, you can add a button along with a script that dynamicallyadds or removes a particular section (subform) from the form whenthe user clicks a button.
For example, in the sample interactive Purchase Order, the usercan click the Add Comments button to display the Comments section(comments subform). The button has one of two alternating captions,Add Comments or Clear Comments, depending on the current state ofthe subform. Each time the user clicks the button, the script checkswhether the comments subform is displayed and then updates the buttoncaption accordingly.
The button triggers a script that uses instanceManager,the XML Form Object Model object that manages the instance creation,removal, and movement of form objects. When the end user deletesthe Comment subform, the instanceManager objectremoves the subform from both the Form data document object model(DOM) and the Data DOM.
Note that instanceManager uses four methods: addInstance, removeInstance, moveInstance,and setInstances. The naming convention of an instanceManager isthe subform name prefixed with an underscore (_subformname).The syntax for instanceManager is_subformname.methodname().
The following JavaScript script in the click eventof the Add Item button lets users add an item line to the sampleinteractive Purchase Order form. The script also recalculates theform so that the Total field includes the new line in the calculation.
The following JavaScript script in the click eventof the Delete button lets users use the Delete button to deletean instance of the detail subform from the sample interactive PurchaseOrder form. The script also recalculates the form so that the Totalfield no longer includes the deleted line in the calculation.
