It allows end-users to fill in data in the text box and save it into a PDF file. That is where PDF forms come into the picture. Not sure if it was an update they did that caused this but I can't figure anything else.One of the biggest drawbacks of an online form is that they don't work offline. It slowed my job search cause PDF is what I used and now the file size is too big. I used Optimize and Reduce file and it still stayed at a large size, no where near the size it use to reduce it to before to KB file size. Then I thought getting Acrobat Pro DC would solve the problem. I never had to Optimize or Reduce it before. It stayed at a huge 4.89MB which is too big and not acceptable for most places that accept file uploads. And I didn't add or change anyhting to the files I was looking to send as a PDF. Then all of a sudden it stopped around near the end of May and the file was staying the same without any changes. I use to be able to use 'Download as a PDF' from Google Docs using Acrobat Reader and then 'Save As', and it would automatically reduce the size of my file from near 5MB to 80KB which would be faster to send as a file or acceptable for most uploads/attachment for resume files. But unlike you, I was first using the Acrobat Reader. I thought it was just me and was losing my mind as to what was going on. Has this been an issue for anyone else? How do I fix this? It is very frustrating because I have to send these documents via email, and there is a 10MB limit on some of the emails I have to send them to. I've worked with tech support within my company who tried reinstalling and reinstalling the program, checking for updates, etc. The error message I get just says 'Adobe Acrobat has stopped working.' The only option is to close the program. When I attempt to save the document, it crashes and forces close. But a few documents later, I'm right back to square one. I found a setting that said 'Always reduce file size when saving if larger than 10MB' so I checked the box and tried a few files worked awesome. My Adobe crashes and forces close every time I try either way now. One way was to optimize the PDF, the other was just to save as a reduced file size. I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and I used to be able to reduce the file size of the PDF two different ways.
