    Hi mariannezzz,

    If you're using Acrobat DC, then this tutorial may be just the thing you're looking for: Edit text and images in PDFs | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials.

    If you have an earlier version, such as Acrobat XI, check out this Help document: Acrobat Help | Edit text in PDFs

    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

    Best,

    Edit->Copy is disabled. Why I can't ctrl-C and Ctrl-V any part of pdf file and copy to notepad or MS Word, Excel??? It was always available before.

        Hi Sara,

        No, I know it allows editing, because I update it for something else as well. And those worked fine.

        Hi Marianne,

        What happens when you try to copy/paste? If you can select the objects, then you should be able to copy and paste them. When you paste, the pasted item often appears on top, but slightly offset from the original item. Then, you can drag the copied item wherever you'd like it appear.

        Whatever you copy is placed into the system's clipboard, so if you don't want to paste it back into Acrobat, you can switch to another application and paste it there.

        Please let us know how it goes.


        Best,

        Sara
