Can no longer extract pages by drag and drop

If you're unable to drag pages from the Pages Thumbnail sidebar onto your desktop to create a new PDF after a recent update, try restarting the application and your computer. Check for the latest software updates, ensure proper file permissions, and confirm drag-and-drop settings. If the issue persists, contact the support team for your PDF software for further assistance.

Just Reset 

Right click at side bar and click reset panels

I have done same way

I am also having the same issue.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat and it worked once now back to not working.

I too have this issue, but not all the time.  Adobe choose when it will allow dragging and dropping. Sometimes I can drag and drop, then 10 minutes later I can't.  I cannot figure the issue out and it is so frustrating.  IT cannot either.  We have even uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled several times.  Has anyone found a fix? 

I had this same exact thing start happening to me after a got an update to Adobe. Thank goodness I found this article. I was able to go in and turn off protected mode and now I can move files again without being asked to save them. That was annoying. I always worry when patches download that a setting will be changed some place for some unknown reason. Thanks for sharing this fix.

I found a solution. You'll need to disable or turn off the Protected Mode
1. Edit->Preferences->Security (Enhanced)
2. Under Sandbox Protections, disable the Protected Mode
3. Restart the Adobe (close and open the program)
4. You're back in business

You just made my day.  I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to fix this over the last 2 or 3 months.  

I managed to fix it by turning off protected mode & making sure it was turned off for startup also.

THEN I added my folder, the entire documents folder in my case, to the privledged lications section on the same settings page as above. I then restarted arcobat completely.

Not sure which bit fixed the problem but it's back working like it used to for me now.

This had me incredibly frustrated for hours. I had all of the security settings correct but still could not drag and drop. Then I noticed the hand cursor turned to an arrow as I approached the edge of the page in preview mode. Once the cursor was an arrow I was able to click and drag. Not sure it's the same for everyone but for me, you can only click and drag by clicking on the border of a page on preview mode. Same for actually moving pages within the pdf in preview mode. Hope this helps.
