Retype - 'Apply' button has disappeared

[Sevillano]

I think a few others are having this issue, but I'm yet to see any response and/or fix from Adobe. 

Retype has successfully identified the font in an image, but there is no 'apply' button (only an exit button) so no way to convert into editable text.  Retype add-ons are already activated in CC App.  

Anyone found a solution ?

LOL! What a total joke... this is obviously a licensing issue that Adobe doesn't want to have to deal with.

And what kind of licensing issue could that be?

If you want to do OCR there are options:

- download version 2024 (and then the Retype module - I could still do that a couple of weeks ago)

- use Acrobat (it will even give you a couple of paragraphs, not just single words)

- use Apple Preview if you are on a Mac (even works inside QuickLook)

Which exact version of 2024 is the Retype still available with the apply button?

Adobe in their infinite wisdom removed that functionality. now it just attempts to ID fonts. They may need to change what focus group this nonsense change came out of as folks like me used retype for WHAT THE NAME ITSELF IMPLIES which is to avoid having to REKEY ANCIENT OUTLINED TYPE FROM ANCIENT FILES in a pinch. Put it back geniuses. Thx.
