Unable to View Edit Panel and Edit PDFs on Acrobat

Question

Hi All,

I have had a few colleagues, including myself who have faced issues with editing a PDF on Acrobat. The Edit panel on the left-hand side has disappeared. We have done a restart, Force close, uninstalled and re-installed the application and still no luck.

Is this a global outage for Adobe or just a glitch in the system
