Acrobat Pro DC no longer creates fully functional PDFs from web pages

For about a couple of months now, I have been unable to create fully functional pdfs by printing internet pages to "Adobe PDF". The pdfs that are created are not searchable and I am not able to highlight the documents. (When I use the highlighter, I get a large vertical oval that spans beyond the line that I am trying to highlight. The longer I drag the pointer along the line that I am trying to highlight, the larger the oval gets, spanning five or more lines vertically and the yellow highlight that appears is also oval shaped.) I don't know if this is a problem with Windows 10 or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. I am a subscriber to Acrobat Pro DC. I can get around this by choosing "Print to PDF" instead of "Adobe PDF" as my printer; but "Print to PDF" is less efficient (for example, the pdf files are much bigger, sometimes by a factor of 10, compared with "Adobe PDF"). There is also loss of other functionality using "Print to PDF", so I would prefer to have a fully working version of Acrobat Pro DC. I've attached a document printed on "Adobe PDF" with an example of the problem.
