A few months ago, using Acrobat Pro for Mac, latest version, I noticed that when I try to create a selection of a pdf from a pdf using Adobe menu commands  create a pdf from screen capture, or window capture, or selection capture, Acrobat copies the background screen saver on my computer, not the screen, window, or selection that I am trying to capture.. I decided today to try to find a solution. Help!!! I use this tool a lot!!!

 

Acrobat Pro 2024..004.20272 on Macbook Pro M4 Pro, 2024,  running Sequoia 15.2

OK upgrading to Sequoia 15.3 then prompted installation of Acrobat 2024.005.20400, and that in turn prompted me to grant access to copy screen. So now it works. Weird though--no upgrade ever caused Acrobat to copy background instead of screen. Anyway if anyone else has this problem, try the upgrade route.
