Where is the select tool in the new so called "improved" version of Acrobat? I used to be able to copy and paste from comments right into my ID document, but that no longer seems possible.

There is an Adobe Reader forum. Posting in one of the Acrobat forums tends to indicate that the poster is using Acrobat.

Reader also has very similar menu option and shortcuts when the feature is question is available in both products.

One needs to open the PDF file. One must have the "tool bars" displayed. Use the "F8" key or menu items "View => Show/Hide => Toolbar Items => Show Toolbars". You should now see the familiar arrow head for selection.

Unfortunately that does not appear, as I am using Acrobat Reader rather than Pro. Is this a clever ploy on the part of Adobe to force us to purchase Pro?
