I have a PDF that was given to me to make some minor text edits. I don't have the original doc.
I open the PDF in Acrobat DC, then choose Edit PDF. The text in the document is inside various boxes, as you expect. I have the Show Bounding Boxes option checked. But there is this one bit of text that I cannot select. It doesn't have a bounding box around it, so I can't do anything with this text.
Is this a bug in Acrobat? Is there any way to fix this? I tried exporting to Word, but formatting gets so messed up, it isn't a good option. I would be happy to put a box with some text over the text I can't edit, but you cannot set a background color in a bounding box, at least not that I can find.

It's part of a text field. Go to Form Edit mode and you'll see it.

I have the same issue, but with my problem, I think it's my Adobe PDF "printer" messing things up. It's not even a .pdf from someone else, I'm creating it! It will put a bounding box around half a line of text, but not the other half or half a line, then half of the line below. You'd think that it would all be renderable text considering it's the same document, same font, etc. being "printed".
