Edit PDF tool Missing

[NikkiUSU]

I'm using Adobe Acrobat through a Creative Cloud subscription. None of my PDFs have the Edit PDF option anymore. Even when I create a PDF on my computer from a Word document, the option is missing. I only have the options to comment, fill and sign, export, create, share, stamp, measure, and certificates.

Hi @NikkiUSU @Susie Ray-Parker,

Hope you are doing well, and sorry to hear that. 

There could be two possible scenarios leading to the disappearance of the Edit PDF option:

1. The option was removed from the right shortcut tools panel. 

• Have you checked by clicking on the tools tab at the top of the Edit PDF option? If it does, you can enable it again to be visible on the shortcut tools panel.

2. The account you are logged in to in Acrobat is a different account than the one you have your active subscription with.

You may want to remove the application if installed using Creative Cloud and then reinstall it from the offline installer. Click the given link to do so: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html

Hope this helps.

Same here. I can't remember the last time I was able to seamlessly provision Acrobat Pro for a user. There's always some issue. This is the latest one - the user has no ability to edit, despite a couple of reboots, a valid Acrobat license, signed in, rights to edit the document, etc... This is just the norm. The only process I've found is to keep uninstalling and reinstalling until it decides it's happy.
