I recently updated Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on my laptop that I don't use too often and when using the highlight tool, it appears I only have the freehand highlight tool. What ever happened to being able to use the text selection tool that would highlight everything that was selected?

I thought it defaulted to do OCR?     


You can use Tools > Enhance Scans

Can you select text?

That means it's not real text, just an image, hence the free-hand highlight tool.
