My computer crashed, now on a new one but my pdf's come up differently.  I cannot find the snapshot tool anywhere.  There is a tool bar at the top of the pdf but no snapshot.  Any ideas?

    Yes I had the same problem, I use Snapshot all the time.

    I erased Adobe off my laptop & reloaded it, same problem.

    No hidden away under another button !

    It's still there, just in another location. See above.

    Using latest 2021.011.20039 and the snapshot option has completely disappeared on all documents . . . I scan documents no security settings . . . and want to cut images to other programs like PPT . . . there is no option for snapshot . .. 

     

    Please advise. Windows 10. Acrobat DC subscription.

    Same issue for me. Exactly the same. Where and why has this essential feature gone?

    Is the file secured, by any chance? What does it say under File - Properties - Security?

    Also, you can always use the OS's built-in screenshot tool. I don't see why this tool is even necessary in the application, to be honest...

    Sorry all,

    I needed to Download Reader and set as default.  It was downloading the PDF with a Microsoft program.  All is well now.  Thanks,  Tom
