annoying text outlines

[#1]

I am trying to mark up a pdf of a drawing using the comment and markup tools.  When I use a tool such as line if I get near any text I get an outline of the text and can't use the tool.  Can I stop this from happening?

Can you post a screenshot?

That's not Reader. What exact version of Acrobat Pro are you using?

[#5]

9.0.0

[#6]

That's a very old and outdated version. You should update it to at least 9.5.5.

You can get the updates here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/9.x/
