Trying to verify the meaning of a word, I right-click on it, but the lookup option is not shown. Any suggestion?

It is frustrating when the lookup option does not appear because the word highlighted contains punctuation, such as a comma. Try highlighting the word without any punctuation and the Lookup Option will appear. I wish the Lookup Option would work with a comma included as tapping on a word adjacent to a comma in "full screen" mode (aka tablet reading mode) highlights the word and the comma.

Another option is for Adobe Acrobat not to highlight comma's adjecent to words when they are tapped on (with a finger on a touch screen). The second "long" tap would then include "Look Up..." in the pop-up (aka right-click) menu.

Same for double-clicking on a word with an adjacent comma. Adobe, please do not include the comma in the highlight.

I believe Adobe removed this option. I have an idea on how it can be added back into the application, in a way, but it would require developing a custom-made script... On the plus-side you would be able to define what search engine or dictionary website to use.

If you're interested in purchasing such a tool feel free to contact me privately via [try6767 at gmail.com].
