How do I stop Acrobat from crashing every time I delete something from the Content Panel?

Hi!

I’m running Adobe Acrobat Continuous Release Version 2026.001.21367 | 64-bit.

Everything was fine earlier this month. However, by Friday, April 3rd, I started having problems with Acrobat crashing every time I tried to delete text inside a container in the Content Panel.

At first, when I deleted the whole container, it would also make the container below disappear as well, but the physical content on the page would still be there and would re-appear once the file was save.

Then, I had to revise/replace some text in an H2 tag—not all the text but only some–in a 508-compliant PDF. I had a separate replacement PDF with the correct text and my 508-compliant PDF I was working on. In the 508 file, I went into the Content Panel and tried to delete some of the text in a container and it kept crashing. Over and over it crashed. Then, I separated out the text I needed to replace from the rest of its companion and was able to delete it and then copy in the new text.

This is a new development with Acrobat. 

Is anyone else experiencing this sort of issue?

Any help or guidance would be most appreciated.

Thank you,

Erica
