Super-wide highlighter when I print a document to Adobe format.

[Guest]

I have been using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC for about 6 months and this has never been an issue, but in the last week (?) if I try to print a document to .pdf format, the highlighter goes nuts and will not select a single word or line of a sentence.  I cannot 'find' words or phrases for the article, even if I run the feature that "recognizes text in this file or multiple files".  Surprisingly enough, I have seen other posts about this exact same issue posted from other users who did not receive a satisfactory answer.

This was not an issue 1-2 weeks ago, so what's up?  What has changed in the last 10 days that prevents me from using the highlighter appropriately?  Game is on, Adobe, your move.

I have the same problem off and on. It takes on a large oval shape or highlights most of the page. Quick fix....print the document out as an adobe document. Tap on the printer icon and if you receive the message it won't print since the document is open....close it out and reopen it. Hit the print icon again and you should receive the dialogue as to where you want to print it. Instead of your desk printer select adobe and print out another document and save it. You should be able to go into edit and choose add text and highlighting is back on track. This also works for other issues as well. Richard Miami Fl
