G'day,

I need some help, i am trying to type into an adobe document using the typewriter function.

However every time after i type the text vanishes. It is almost as if the text is white and vanishes into the background.

This is not the case as the works are not visible regardless of the background color.

The text box remains available and can be edited if clicked on, also if i double click on it the typed words become visible and editable, however once i close the box i cannot see them on the screen.

I would appreciate any help i can get, i cant seem to do anything using properties or view.

Thanks 

Tiernan

    Hi Tiernan,

    Are you running into this issue in a specific PDF, or in all of them? What version of Acrobat are you using (and, are you on Mac OS or Windows?).

    If you look at the text properties on the Tools panel (under Format), what color is the text swatch? What happens if you change the text color?

    I look forward to hearing back from you.

    Best,

    Sara

    Does it also happen if you update Acrobat to the latest version 10.1.12 ?
