Can't edit pdfs anymore

[Oleg284498697ppa]

Hi ,

Acrobat Professional 2015/Windows 10. 

I was editing scanned PDFs for many years using above mentioned version of Acrobat. 

I have a file (scancopy) which I can open and edit with my old laptop. 

I have installed the same version to a brand new laptop with Win 11. It doesn't recognise any editable text and give me error.
"acrobat has detected that this page doesn't have editable text..."

Tried the same version of Acrobat with brand new Win 10 laptop. Same story . 

So out of 3 laptops only one can edit text in my pdf file. 

What is wrong with it ?  I already copied all the fonts from my old laptop to a new ones. It didn't help...

What else I can try ? 

I never amended any Preferences (setting) so it should be identical for all 3 devices. 

Any help or suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Best,

Oleg

In addition... If I will perform Adobe OCR (Edit) for the pdf and save it using my old laptop , then I can edit it from new laptop.

What happens when you perform OCR on the new laptop?

If from 'Edit PDF' tool... I get
"acrobat has detected that this page doesn't have editable text..." Seems Auto-OCR starting , trying to execute but fails with error mesage.

If I'm running 'Recognize text' from 'Enhance Scans' tool I'm getting searchable PDF.

But still can't edit PDF contents.

'If I'm running 'Recognize text' from 'Enhance Scans' tool I'm getting searchable PDF."

What options does you use?

[Oleg284498697ppa]

This is what I have at my old laptop . All good there. But at both new laptops last option (highlighted) is unavailable for some reason. Also I have checked plugins. It is identical everywhere,  including versions.

This is the issue.

[Oleg284498697ppa]

Well... I know. This is how to fix it .?

The option is available in Acrobat DC and Acrobat 2020 on Windows 11.

I have this option atWindows 10 /Acrobat DC 2015 on my old laptop but it is not there at Win10/11 on a new laptops.
I used same distro to install everywhere.
