Shaneer, sorry that you are blocked by selecting text within text fields. Do the text boxes turn immediately black in multiple PDFs? Did you create these PDFs yourself in Acrobat? Finally, what device are you using to select the text in Acrobat?

 

You might want to try editing the text field itself to see if there is a problem with the font that is being used to display the text. Please see https://adobe.ly/3YlkuHa for more information on working with text fields, Shaneer. ^JW
