Can't fill in fillable form after update

Question

Adobe updated yesterday and now I can't type in fields in a fillable form that was working just fine before the update. I can check a box but not type. Cursor also doesn't respond to tab key. I have trying restarting my computer.

@vanessa_5318 It's how the new version interacts with the form fields' properties. Sometimes, the update can inadvertently change a field's setting from a text field to a read-only field, making it impossible to type in. The fact that the tab key isn't working also points to a broader issue with how the form's interactive elements are being recognized by the new software. Try this,  open Adobe Acrobat Reader, go to Help, and select Repair Installation. This tool can fix many common issues by replacing corrupted or missing files.
