Hi all, is that the only remaining way to highlight texts in Acrobate Reader DC following the recent update to version 2021.001.20155 ? Would be really unsatisfying!

Hi Nils
Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you are unable to highlight the text properly.
- Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs?
Is the PDF created from scanning the document? If yes, you need to run the OCR on the file (Option in Acrobat Pro DC) to be able to properly highlight the text.
