Hello @davidb68244139,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, system config (CPU/GPU/Memory), a public link to a sample file after uploading it to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc., and a screen recording of the problem (https://adobe.ly/4bwLkA2), so we can investigate this further?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hi @davidb68244139

Thanks for sharing these details. Could you please confirm in which application the PDF was originally created? Illustrator can only edit vector PDFs which were created in Illustrator itself and saved with Illustrator Editing Capabilities.

Refer to this help article for more details: Adobe PDF options | Illustrator
