Search terms not highlighted in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hi everyone -

Adobe Acrobat Pro version 2024.004.20272

macOS Sequoia 15.5

 

As of a couple of days ago, Adobe Acrobat Pro has ceased highlighting the terms it finds when I do a search within a document

These documents have all been processed using OCR within Adobe Acrobat Pro

I have not changed any settings

 

Is there any settings I should look at that perhaps were changed somehow that would cause this issue?

Any advice on how to fix it?

 

Thank you

Hi @douglas5E1D,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble with searching documents on Acrobat.

 

We would like to understand more on the issue for a better understanding and investigation:

1. A screen recording of the event;

2. A sample document where you experienced this.

 

Meanwhile, you may try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here https://adobe.ly/4kq3GI3...

 

Look forward to hearing from you.


Regards,
Souvik.

Hello Souvik - I will have to create a smaple document as the documents I am reviewing are legal documents so bear with me while I do that

 

What is occurring is that the word/term text is showing up as blue but it is not actually highlighted beyond that, making it difficult to find on the screen - I am trying to find a setting that will actually have a highlighter color over the word/term text
