Add shapefiles as new layer to a georeferenced PDF

I've found instruction on how to do this, but they don't seem to work in my hands.

I load a georeferenced shaded raster PDF.  It responds correctly to geo tools like geographic location coordinates, draw path, etc.  I then I highlight to layer and use the dropdown list to add layer and look for the shapefile in the working folder and "*.shp" doesn't show up in the type file dropdown.

I'm using Acrobat Pro DC.

Thank you,

Hank
