    Try restarting Photoshop and resetting the workspace first. Go to Window > Workspace and select Reset to Saved Layout. If the Edit panel is still blank, try resetting Photoshop preferences or updating the app. It could be a workspace glitch or a problem with the current installation.

    ​@good_Beeb9e4 what’s the status of this? Did you follow the instructions of ​@PriyankaVishwakarma? I tried on my Acrobat, and the ‘Edit Panel,’ opened. Trying to figure this out with you

    Hello@good_Beeb9e4,

     

    Thank you for reaching out. I hope you're doing well. I understand that the Edit PDF panel appears blank when you attempt to edit a PDF.

     

    To help us investigate further, could you please share the following details?

     

    • Please confirm whether the Edit PDF tool panel is completely missing or if the panel opens but the editing tools are not displayed. If possible, share a short screen recording demonstrating the behavior. (Note: Please hide any confidential workplace or personal information before sharing the recording.)
    • Does the issue occur with all PDF files or only with a specific document?
    • Which version of Adobe Acrobat and your operating system are currently in use?
    • Windows: Open Acrobat and go to Menu > Help > About Adobe Acrobat
    • macOS: Open Acrobat and select Acrobat > About Adobe Acrobat from the menu bar
    • Please check for any available updates by navigating to Menu > Help > Check for Updates, install any pending updates, and then restart the application.
    • If you're using Windows, please also try Menu > Help > Repair Installation and let us know whether the issue persists afterward.

     

    For more information please see the following help document: Missing or blank tools in Acrobat | Adobe Acrobat

     

    Let us know how it goes, and reach out if you need any further assistance.

     

    Regards,
