Then you can't edit it with Acrobat Reader. 


Hi @Unicorn69,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with editing files in Acrobat Reader Mobile.

 

As Bernd mentioned, you cannot edit a scanned document on the mobile version of Acrobat Reader.

 

To do so, you will need Acrobat Pro DC on your desktop to run OCR first for the application to recognize the text and make the document editable.

 

Hope this clarifies your question.

I'm unable to edit text on pdf that isn't a scanned document. I'm using a iPhone 15 pro max adobe acrobat reader,  At first I was able to edit it then I saved it, came back 5 min later then it wouldn't let me edit anymore. What do I do to fix this. Thanks
