Question

PDF pages rotate or flip automatically when selecting text in Acrobat Pro

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows. Whenever I open a PDF and try to select text (for highlighting or copying), the page view suddenly rotates or flips automatically. This makes it very difficult to read and edit the document.

I have already tried changing the page display settings and disabling auto-rotate options, but the problem still continues.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a permanent fix or a setting I need to adjust?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks for posting your question to our community, Mehmet. I am sorry that when you try to select text, the page view rotates or flips. Does this happen while you are attempting to select the text for highlighting or editing, Mehmet, or after you select the text?

 

What type of computer is Acrobat installed on? What operating system is running on the computer? Finally, Mehmet, how do you select the text with a mouse, touchscreen, stylus, or trackpad?

 

You can find more information on highlighting and editing text in Adobe Acrobat Pro at https://adobe.ly/46j9kaF. I look forward to hearing back from you, Mehmet. ^JW

Hello Jeffrey,

Thank you for your reply. Let me clarify the situation:

-

The issue happens *while I am trying to select text*, not after the text
is selected. As soon as I start dragging to highlight, the page view
automatically flips/rotates.
-

Acrobat is installed on an *MSI Stealth 18 AI Studio laptop (Windows 11
Pro, fully updated)*.
-

I usually use a *Logitech MX Master 3S mouse* to select text. The same
issue also occurs when I try with the laptop’s *touchpad*.
-

My Acrobat version is *Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (latest updated version)*.

Please let me know if there are any settings I can adjust to stop this
behavior.

Thank you,
