Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - Can't Select Multiple Objects?

Explorer ,
Dec 07, 2021 Dec 07, 2021

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but in the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, for the life of me when I'm editing the PDF there's just no way to select multiple objects. Ctrl+Shift doesn't work, and I can't draw a box to select multiple objects. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thanks.

Is it a bug, a glitch or does Acrobat NOT have multi-select functionality?

Looks like a issue with Windows 10. It works at Windows 8.

I have a similar issue on Windows 10, can select multiple objects with a box, but when I try to shift select another object the first selection is lost.  This alone makes Acrobat DC much worse than the previous Acrobat version I used.  Been searching for a solution but nada.

Still broken. So Adobe Acrobat is not compatible with Windows 10. Nice...

This is freaking extraordinary... thought I was losing my mind.

You have to love a software company that removes basic, useful functionality, and can't be bothered to fix/update.
