I am using Acrobat on my iPad and can no longer select text. Instead of highlighting the word, vertical parallel lines appear. So, I cannot access the translator for any words or copy words.

Is that happening on all PDFs, or just ths one in particular?

Did you make this PDF yourself? using a different approach?

Looks like only with this one. Any suggestions?

Hi @Mr. Truite,

Sorry for the experience.

With the lastest updates, there were a few performance improvements mad with the application.

Would you mind trying the same workflow again? This could be with the time for selecting a word on the application where the touch gesture were tweaked in the previous version.

Please let us know if the issue still persist and we would look further into it.

-Souvik.

use the text recognition tool.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
