Can no longer extract pages by drag and drop

I can no longer drag pages from the Pages Thumbnail sidebar onto my desktop to make a new PDF of those pages. I haven't tried to do this since the last update came through... Is anybody else experiencing this?

 

It's extremely slow and frustrating having to manually right click extract, select the pages, open it in a new adobe window, then have to save the file through the menu.

Can you please tell us more about your software/hardware/OS?  I just tried it on my Windows machine with the current Acrobat Pro, and it worked for me.

My best,

Dave

I figured out how to make it work again...

 

I had protected mode turned on. Is it supposed to do that?

Protected mode is not the same as a password protected document.

 

Check your Security (Enhanced) preferences.

In the screenshot you sent, you have to deselect "enable protected mode at start-up"  then close out Adobe and restart

Worked for me. Weird, as I've never changed that setting and was using the drag-extract all of the time for years without issue...until it was.  Thanks!
