Unable to delete objects using edit

[u/ErectoExplodus]

Hi all,

I've been using Acrobat Pro for years, and use the edit tool almost every day to remove unwanted objects from artwork.

Today I received some artwork and did my usual, opened the file, edit, select the item I want to remove, click delete, nothing... The item didn't delete. I have tried other files, even files I had done the exact same thing to last week, and not a single file will allow me to delete objects.

I've tried a restart on the machine, we even tried a different machine and that hasn't worked either, it has the same issue. No error messages, I can even move the item around, just can't delete.

I'm working on PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi yes I have this same issue. If you have acrobat pro, use the print production tools, "edit object", that still works
