Hello. I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and there is no Undo button anywhere. I went looking for it after I accidentally deleted all of the text I had spent a good amount of time typing previously! I then typed into the original box my text was in "Text deleted "
I came to this forum and tried the Ctrl + Z function and it only seemed to work on the most recent edit. So, it "Undid" the typed "Text deleted". I selected Ctrl + Z again, and nothing showed up. I tried it several times.
Any help please?

If you go to the line / ribbon / whatever they call it -- where the print icon is and right click, you will get a drop down menu with several options. Go to "SHOW EDIT TOOLS" which includes "undo" and "redo". Spent forever trying to figure this out! and I've used Adobe for YEARS. Shouldn't be this freaking hard.

I have shut down finally for the night but I will try your suggestion I had deleted windows to cloud and then reinstalled due to a security setting I couldn't figure out. All WAS fine on A ode Acrobat DC Pro but when I re-installed it ... ME TOO, the UNDI Button has disappeared. And the entire lay out of tool bars are on wrong side, a little at top and a little on tight corner. This is making me crazy. Majority of tool on left, I hate and undo button. I know exactly what it looks like, where it was but IT Is gone. What a day, computer kicking my rear. I hope I can disable new acrobat.

I'm realizing that the Chrome extension is my issue. The option to undo is just not there anywhere. But if I open the document directly from Acrobat, it's easy to find. The Chrome extenstion sucks.

I have the 2023 version of Adobe Acrobat. I can't find the undo button? Where is it? Why is it hard to find?

I FINALLY found the "undo". If you select "Menu" at the top right hand corner of your screen, the "undo" is about 3/4ths of the way down the listing, jkust below "Paste" and just above "View". Hope this helps.

Thanks MKMarl0l - that helped a lot. The problem with Adobe (and others) is they DEFAULT to NOT showing tool items in the tool bar - (duhh) so you are forced to first find where to access the tool menu items, THEN find which ones you need. After doing what you instructed, (right clicking in the ribbon in a blank area beside the printer icon), t in the drop-down window I then simply selected "show all edit tools" and wallah......Too bad nothing is intuitive anymore. Too many tech-heads designing these things without ease of use in mind.

Agreed. No undo button. All the people replying who say they have it - and that we're unable to use a menu.. have no clue what we're seeing. We use menus every single day. The undo option is non existant and it seems that adobe works very hard to be a total pain. Mission accomplished. And this is why I only go use Adobe when I'm completely desperate and am willing to lose an entire day down a rabbit hole.

Marked in red, the Undo button in the latest version of Reader (with the new UI):
Be aware it only appears when there is actually something to undo, such as typing into a text field.
If you can't see it there, post the full version number of the application, a screenshot of what you are seeing, and an exact description of your actions in the file.
