When export a PDF out of Arc, I can subsequently edit text elements in Acrobat:

The same imported map in Pro -> Export to PDF -> Attempt to edit any text element results in the following:

Is this by design?

Hi Michael, 

What version are you using? I am using 2.6.2 and the issue does not seem to have been fixed.

I'm on 2.7, which is the version I think you need to get up to in order to solve the problem of editing PDFs.

I am using 2.7.3 and I am still not able to Edit text in my PDF exports.  What are the settings I need to export with in order for this to work.  This is my last big hangup with PRO, I can't switch fully until this issue is resolved.
