Highlighting without comment box appearing in reader

[gavin davido65612509]

Ever since I updated my version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, when I highlight text, a box appears to comment in, much like a comment box on the page.

This never happened before I updated, and slows me down immensely when I am highlighting as I have to close each box individually.

If someone knew how to stop these boxes appearing that would be great!

Thank you

Hi gavin david,

As per the issue description mentioned above,  comment box appearing in reader when highlighting text in reader, is that correct?

Try the  troubleshooting steps given in the following forum thread discussing the similar issue:

Unwillingly adds comments to highlights in reader?

Also, let us know dot version of reader and the operating system installed on the machine? You may refer to the steps given in this link on how to check the version in reader: Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

Thanks,
