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,

Sara

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,

I figured out how to do it now. After I select the object, I need to click on somewhere else then paste. It worked. Just couldn’t do this on original place.

Thank you very much for your help, problem solved.
