Can't Highlight Text in New Acrobat

[dave.incanada]

In all of the PDFs I open in the new acrobat, the highlight function is greyed out and I can't highlight text. This was previously a part of my workflow for processing documents at month-end. This doesn't seem to be an issue with the PDF file(s) I'm opening, since the feature worked before the update. 

Any suggestions here?

Update: the same PDF files allow the highlight function just fine if I revert to the old acrobat.

Hi @david.larose,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the delay in response.

Please try updating the application to the latest version. Go to the Help menu > Check for updates.

If the issue still occurs with the new UI in the latest version, please check if the issue occurs with one file or al.

Share the sample file and Acrobat version. It would be helpful if you could share the screen recording for the same. 

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
