Unable to resize image in adobe pro

I apologize for posting this again, but I still can't get an imagine to resize in a pdf I'm editing in Adobe Pro.  I have used this product for years and it was as simple as grabbing the arrow on the corner of the image and resizing it. I can't imagine why this no longer works. I can only move the image with my arrows on the keyboard and not my mouse.  Hopefully someone has identified the problem and can share... this is so frustrating as it's something I have done thousands of times.

Hi @KATHERIN5C37 

 

Thanks for reporting this to us. 

This is correct; the best and the easiest way to resize an image in PDF is to go to Edit mode, hover or select the image and then click and drag the corners to resize the image.

Now when you try to do this, what happens? Doesn't that let you stretch the corners? 

It could be a PDF-specific issue as it might be a scanned file.

  • Try with a different file.
  • If you recently updated your Acrobat, go to help>repair installation.
  • If not, then Go to Acrobat> Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once (you must save all the work before restarting)

To download the patch manually, more information about this release is here: Release Notes | Adobe Acrobat, Reader

Share the screenshot of your complete page view having this document open in Acrobat. We want to check if its Acrobat New UI or old one. 

Please share a sample file with us if it still doesn't work. 

 

Thanks,

Akanchha
