Replace Selected Text

@steve_9907 @the "Replace Selected Text" tool is for permanent removal (redaction), not for temporary changes or hiding that you can later reveal. The red line and logo confirm that the text has been redacted and is no longer accessible within that version of the document. You'll need to refer back to an unredacted original if you need the initial text.

Hi there,

Hope you're doing well, and thanks for reaching out.

Could you please confirm whether this issue occurs with a specific PDF file or with all PDFs you’ve edited? Try opening and editing a different PDF file to check if the problem persists.

When you select the Edit tool and click on the edited text, what exactly happens? Do you receive any error messages? If so, please share a screenshot or a short video showing the steps you’re taking and how the issue appears. This will help us understand the problem more clearly.

Also, ensure that you're using the latest version of Acrobat Pro (25.01.2043X). You can check by going to Help > Check for Updates, and don’t forget to restart your computer afterward.
