Acrobat Pro: Reading order box and tag dragging no longer visible

[Aricia]

Since this new update, I no longer see the bounding box when using the Reading Order tool to tag content. I get the cross hairs, but when I click and drag, I cannot see where the box is and am basically guessing if I caught everything that I want and not catching that which I do not want in the box. Secondly, in the tab pane, I can no longer see where I am dragging a tag to in the tree. It becomes another guessing game if I am about to drop the tag in the correct place in the tree. Once upon a time, a line appeared so that I knew it was going to drop in the right place. Did this get turned off? Is it a glitch with the Mac OS version? I would appreciate some help with this as it is really slowing me down.

This information is from my iMac, this also happend on my Macbook Pro which should be on the same version for both as I tend to keep them both updated about the same time.

Hey! You are not alone. I am also having the same issue. Its really freaking me out. Also when I reorder lots of elements on the reading order on certain text-heavy documents its just been crashing 24/7. Its awful. I wish I could say I have a fix. I've tried 5 different computers in the work office and its all the same.

An Adobe engineer just posted in other thread the instructions for rolling back to a previous version of Acrobat.

See Ankit Kumar Gupta's solution at https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/install-the-previous-patch-update/m-p/12387847#M3...

Does this work with the Adobe Creative Cloud? Rolling back is going to be very difficult for me because I am going to have to have IT come and do what is in that document. My computer allows the updates from Creative Cloud, but what you have in that document is going to be much more difficult and need an IT tech to do it since it is all password protected. It would be better if Adobe just fixed the issue without having to go through all of this. I'm very disappointed that they rolled out such a defective version and then need us to vote in order for it to get fixed. Adobe is causing real issues for those of us in the government and higher education that must abide the law.

Hi, my Acrobat remains up to date and the box is now visible, however there is still many problems with the page ordering tool. It is still crashing when I attempt to reorder elements and also they just disappear completely.
