Cannot resize / move an image (sometimes)

New Here ,
Apr 25, 2023 Apr 25, 2023

I have an image I have added to multiple pdf documents.  However, sometimes when I add the image (a jpg) it inserts but I cannot resize nor move it.  I have to delete it.

 

In other documents the same image has inserted and then been able to be moved and resized as expected.

 

When it fails, the mouse cursor changes shape as I hover over corners/edges but nothing happens when I click to drag.

 

Any ideas what is happening.  At present I am wasting so much time and end up using another pdf editor.

What application are you using, exactly? Because none of this is not possible in the free Adobe Reader.

Hi there 

 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out. We are sorry for the trouble.

 

Would you mind sharing if this is an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check. 

 

What is the version of the Acrobat Application and the OS you are using? Go to Help > About Acrobat and try updating the app from the Help menu > check for updates and reboot the device once and see if that works. 

 

If it still doesn't work, please share a small video recording of the steps you are taking and the issue as it occurs for more clarity and further investigation.

Regards
Amal
