Hello -

I use this feature almost daily, and it is suddenly missing (I am on a Mac). Appreciate any insight as to how to get this important tool back.

Thank you!

Are you referring to the "Replace Text" tool on the comment toolbar?

I just updated to the latest version of Acrobat on my Mac, and the tool is still there. So this is not something that was accidentially removed with a software update. Can you still access the tool when you go to the "Tools" pane, and type "Replace text" into the tool search field?

You may have to right-click on any of the comment tools in the toolbar, and then select to "Customize Comment Tools" to add the tools you want, or to select "Reset Toolbars" to get back to what they were when you first installed Acrobat.
