Cannot edit text fields after saving and text is cut off in text boxes

I was editing a pdf and after saving it it no longer lets me edit the fields that I have to fill in.

It's also cutting off my text so I can't see what I have written.

I think I was doing it within Firefox at the time.

 

Any ideas how I can make it editable and recover the missing text?

Is it part of the same subscription?


Hi @Melody_Watts0822, 

 

Prepare Form is a feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro that can be used on desktop or the Web. That is not part of or a feature of the app or Subscription you have for your mobile device.

I did some googling and apparently the prepare form tool can make it editable?

 

I can't see it in the tool section tho...

 

Am I missing something?
