(3) I attempted to "OPEN" & "EDIT TEXT"

- BUT -

the text I had entered (was displayed correctly) was not recognized for EDITing.

Correct answer Royce3805

Like I said in my post

(1) I OPENed an .jpg file in Acrobat XI 11.0.23

(2) I "ADDed TEXT" (a few fields) and "SAVEd" as PDF (this process

worked fine)

Tools / Add Text

(3) I attempted to "OPEN" & "EDIT TEXT"

- BUT -

the text I had entered (was displayed correctly) was not recognized for

EDITing.

========================================================================

I am a developer (not of PDF software)

- SO -

I don't know exactly how PDF applications work.

I have done this process a few times before with no problems.

My question here is: "After "Add Text", why doesn't Acrobat Pro

recognize the text added when opened again ?"

Thank you for your help.

How exactly did you add text? What exactly did you click and select? (There are multiple ways to add text)
