Question

Edit numbers no longer works - defect

I have been using Acrobat to edit numbers on a graph (minor changes like +1 or -1 due to data lag) for more than a year now. The "Edit" function used to be able to analyze the graph and only make the numbers editable. 

Ever since a few weeks ago, the "Edit" feature now messes with the graph lines and no longer recognizes the numbers. Since this is not a graphics program, the latest functionality goes against what Acrobat is supposed to be able to do. I have waited and waited for a bug fix to come, but nope. Raising it here, hoping for a fix. Just look at this image. Does no one do user testing on these?

Hi @Frustrated*****,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble, and the delayed response.

 

I tried the workflow you mentioned, by creating a PDF with graphs, then going to Edit mode, and was able to edit the numbers without issues.

 

Would you mind updating the app to the latest version (2024.005.20414) and let us know if the issue is fixed for you.

To do so, go to Menu-> Help-> Check for Updates.

I have followed the steps you mentioned and  updated the Desktop App. There is no change, see attached. 

Also, the web App continues to have the same defect. 

Please note that over the 4+ months this help request has been live, I have been using external sites to edit my graphs and I warn my colleagues against using Adobe due to low customer support and even lower user experience testing bar.
