Question

Acrobat Reader switching between reflow and standard view

Hello,

Several colleagues and I have had an issue with using Acrobat Reader. We create a lot of searchable PDFs from digitised content for work, and are often checking them to see if they reflow. 

 

When we reflow a PDF, it will sometimes randomly switch between the text and image layers of the PDF. It will do this repeatedly with some files if you try to reflow the PDFagain, and not at all with others. I've found a temporary fix, which is to close the file and reopen it. The PDF will then reflow and stay on the text layer until we're ready to go back to the image layer. 

 

This seems to happen at random, and there isn't really any one particular characteristic that stands out in the PDFs that have had this problem.

 

We use version 2024.002.20759. Any ideas as to what's causing this problem, or if there's a fix?
