I can no longer use replace text whent I use the Comment tool why?

Hi louisem14910732

It seems that you are referring that you are not able to find the replace text tool. There are some changes made with the annotation tool. You can select the text and then right click on it, you will get option "Add note to replace text" in the drop down list.

Also refer these thread for more information on that : 

"Enable text correction keyboard shortcuts.

Commenting tools disappeared in update

Let us know if this helps or you have a different issue.

Regards,

You are correct that it appears to be gone in Acrobat DC.

You can select the text with the Selection tool > Right Click > Add Note to Replace Text.

And you can file a Bug Report with Adobe:

Hi Louise, We acknowledged and incorporated Acrobat user's feedback of bringing back the "Add notes to replace text" tool to the prime real estate in the Commenting Tool bar.

With latest Acrobat update released yesterday (15.017.20050) you would see this tool listed there and is back in action. Please make sure your copy of Acrobat is updated (Help > Check for Updates to be sure)

Let us know if you encounter any issues.

Aj, thank you, and also, yes, I did encounter an issue. I opened my Creative Cloud app and Acrobat DC does not have an update listed. I was able to find it in Help as you said, but is there any reason Creative Cloud fails to show that there is an update? (Is Acrobat the Creative Cloud orphan?)

[JainAjay]

Actually Jane, the core reason is the difference in the underlying Installer and Updater technology between the Creative Cloud app and Acrobat. Hence, CC does not really shows Acrobat's update.

Thank you, JainAjay!! Too bad that they don't show up in the app, but I will check for updates separately!
