Hi all,
Click and drag stopped working 2 days ago. I read a post elsewhere which suggested using shift and click but this isn't working either. I need this back again as I use this daily for my engineer's work reports. Can anyone suggest anything else?
Thanks
Claire

Click & Drag what, exactly? Also, what's the exact version number of the application (You can find it out by going to Help - About Adobe Acrobat), and what's your OS version?

Thank you for the information.
Would you mind sharing more details on what happens when you try to highlight the text?
Share the Acrobat and OS versions you are using.
Did you start experiencing this issue recently?
It would be helpful if you could share the screen recording of what happens at your end.
Thanks,
Meenakshi

I'm having the same issue. In the old version, you could click at the beginning of text that you want to highlight and then drag your cursor over all the text that you want highlighted. When you released the mouse, all the text would be highlighted. In the new version, I can only get 1 word to highlight at a time and that's by double-clicking on it.

Same issue. Cannot select test by clicking and dragging, even after running OCR. This started after I began current subscription version of Acrobat. This was not an issue on the older (now-deprecated) desktop software. Is there a solution?
