Typewriter characters disappear

[JohnLKoenig]

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro - Version 9.0.0.  For years, the Typewriter tool has worked fine. Recently, I can enter text using the Typewriter tool, but then when I click outside the Typewriter box, the text disappears. I have tried to save the file as PDF Optimised and changes the Transparency settings, but that does not work. Why is this happening after so many years, and how do I fix it.  I have not consciously changed any default settings in the program.

Hello JohnLKoenig,

As per the description above, the Typewriter tool is not working in Acrobat 9 Pro, Is that correct?

Please refer and try the suggestions from the following KB doc which discuss the similar issue Typewriter problems in Acrobat 9 Pro

For detailed information, refer to End of support | Reader 9 and Acrobat 9 (and earlier)

Feel free to update this discussion for any further assistance.

You should at the very least update to the latest 9.x version available, which is 9.5.5.
