Why does Adobe not recognize this as text and allow me to edit? I can't even copy / paste - only delete.
This is in reference to the items in the "COMMENTS" section - this is all part of a fillable section of a form that has been flattened.

Then you need to contact them and ask them how they are flattening the file. It's possible they are just converting it into an image.
