I was able to create text boxes using PDF-XChange Editor for many years, but the function stopped working a few months ago. I just updated from version 8 to version 9, and it still doesn't work. In the Comment tab the words "Text Box" appear as usual, but the icon to the left is grayed out. When I select Text Box and try to use it, the box appears, and I can type text inside it, but when I save the document, it disappears.
In the meantime, my workaround is to use the Typewriter Tool to write the text and then use the Rectangle Tool to create a box around it. But it would be nice to get the Text Box tool to work again if I can.
I should add that when I try to use the Typewriter Tool where I previously tried but failed to use the Text Box tool, the text box that previously disappeared when I saved the document appears again!
Text box function no longer works

Re: Text box function no longer works
Hello James Goodman,
Thank you for the report.
Could you please send us an example file that contains an invisible text box?
Also, please send us a screenshot of the menu where the grey-out icon can be seen.
Regards.
