Hello Ravirajg,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused. As per the description above, you are not able to save a PDF file after highlighting the text in the PDF file, Is that correct?

Please check for any pending updates of Acrobat/Reader installed from Help>Check for updates. You may also repair the installation file of Acrobat/Reader installed from Help>Repair installation.

If the " Save button" is blank, you can uncheck these two options by navigating to Edit>Preferences>General

  1. Uncheck "Show online storage when opening files."
  2. Uncheck "Show online storage when saving files."

Try to reproduce the issue with a different  PDF, and if the issue persists, please share the following details:

  1. Is it Acrobat or Reader installed , check from Help>About Acrobat/Reader.
  2. Is it a Mac or Windows machine?
  3. Dot version of Acrobat or Reader installed, check from Help>About Acrobat/Reader.
  4. Is it with one PDF file or with all the PDF files.

Hope the information helps, and keep us posted with the results.

Regards,

Anand Sri.
