Issue in pdf documents that appears to affect pdfs created after 1 July 2022. For years, I have printed EFTPS deposit copies to pdf and was able to edit text. Today, I tried to edit a pdf in Acrobat Pro XI and there are image and text boxes all over the page except in the area I usually edit. I can perform tis function in pdfs that were created 30 June, but it doesn’t work on anything I created today.

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody_MVPJuly 6, 2022 at 6:53 am #2458614Have you tried using another PDF editor to see if any editor will edit your file?
In other words, is the problem the file or the PDF editor?
