Hello @tinapaps14 ,
Thank you for reaching out, and we are sorry to hear you are experiencing this.
Please try the following steps in order before we investigate further:
- Move the file to your local drive
If the PDF is stored on a network drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, or any external or cloud location, please copy it to your Desktop and try adding and editing form fields from there. Files accessed over a network or cloud connection can cause Acrobat to become unresponsive during form editing.
- Check for updates
Go to Menu > Help > Check for Updates, install any available update and restart Acrobat before testing again.
- Disable Protected Mode
Go to Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) and temporarily uncheck Enable Protected Mode at startup. Restart Acrobat and attempt the form field editing again. This is a diagnostic step only.
If the issue continues after trying these steps, please share the following so we can investigate further:
-
A short screen recording showing the behavior when it occurs
-
Whether this is a personally owned machine or a work managed device
-
Your operating system and version
-
Whether this happens with all PDF files or a specific document
Please let us know how it goes and we will be happy to take it from there.
