Leider enthält die deutschsprachige Oberfläche von Adobe Acrobat 9 neben dem Übersetzungsfehler bei „Überfüllung“ noch weitere falsche bzw. inkonsistente Übersetzungen.

Some strange “whitespaces” are added to PDF bookmarks, if there are edited using Acrobat's bookmarks panel. Mostly they appear after editing an existing bookmark—often between two words or sometimes also within a word. But where do they come from? 

No, not from Acrobat, but from your keyboard! Originally these “whitespaces” are carriage returns, but Acrobat displays bookmark titles in a single line and carriage returns as a “whitespace”. So, if you're used to do editing just with your keyboard, which means you press F2 to start and the enter/return key to finish editing the bookmark, you'll now know why there are carriage returns—because you press the enter/return key!

This strange behavior—allowing carriage returns and also line feeds in single line bookmark titles—started with Adobe Acrobat 8 and continues in version 9.

With “Scan to PDF/A” Adobe Acrobat provides a tool for getting analog documents into PDF—and for archive purpose also to PDF/A. But there is one annoying problem if you want to have a “searchable” and PDF/A compliant PDF file:

If your analog document contains links, the OCR function will detect them and will create link annotations. But during the PDF/A conversion Acrobat does not set the “Print” flag (aka flag 3) for these link annotations, which is required by PDF/A standards.

Due to an unknown reason Adobe Acrobat 9 duplicates all meta data keywords—if there are more than one—during a PDF/A conversion (e.g. to PDF/A-1b). Acrobat puts the existing group of keywords between “quotation marks” and adds a copy after a semicolon separator. This problems appears even if “Apply fixups” is disabled.

It's curious to see how many applications are not able to correctly determine the user's profile path on Windows. Nearly all Java based applications are affected [if they use System.getProperty(), not System.getenv()]—and that since December 2002!

In Version 9 bietet Adobe Acrobat und Adobe Reader ein neues Navigationsfenster namens „Standards“ um die Konformität zu bestimmten Standards (z.B. PDF/A, PDF/X) und deren Ausgabebedingung („output intent“) leichter einsehen und überprüfen zu können.

Bei der (automatischen?) Übersetzung ist leider etwas schief gelaufen. Das englische Wort „trapped” wurde dabei mit „gefunden“ und nicht mit „überfüllt“ (bzw. „Überfüllung“) übersetzt. Der Status  („true“, „false“) blieb gleich im Englischen. Der Fehler wäre vermeidbar gewesen, denn der Überfüllungsstatus befindet sich – nicht erst seit Version 9 – auch in den Dokumenteigenschaften und das in einer angemessenen Übersetzung.

During saving or exporting a PDF file (with an embedded output intent profile) as for example a TIFF file, Acrobat converts the document — somehow — to the working space profile, even if “Output intent overrides working spaces” is enabled.

Normally, Acrobat should export the document using the output intent profile. (or should provide a dialog to choose color profile and conversion settings)

Adobe Photoshop's functions for creating filled objects are producing different color output values while using the same color input value.

Photoshop stores different histogram index values (0–255) and that results in different tonal values (0–100%). Depending on the CMYK output process this bug may cause visible color differences.

These differences were primarily mentioned by Klaus Karcher in the German ECI mailing list during a discussion about rounding differences in TIFF based measurement targets.

Adobe AIR applications are not able to communicate to any Adobe Creative Suite 3 application using Adobe SwitchBoard on Windows Vista if the desktop folder location was changed.

In Windows Vista it's possible to move all personal folders, e.g. the desktop folder, to a location different than the user's profile path. SwitchBoard saves its switchboard.ini to the desktop's parent folder while Adobe AIR applications are looking under the user's profile path.
