I have been using for some timeand basically without difficulty the “typewriter” tool in Acrobat X Pro (I am not referring to the acrobat X Reader).However, suddenly in the last 2 days when I use it, no typing shows up on the pdf. i fooled with a lot of things and trying other ways of support for what seems like the whole day.But after typing one more time to make it work I clicked on my test words area (field?) and the words showed up- but only temporarily and in a blue block-- as if highlighted—but in blue.
 
Thus I think, I must have inadvertently changed some setting or some new program did it for me.
(I am not talking about typing in a form just a regular pdf files created in acrobat x pro)
I suspect it is something simple to do, but I have no idea what it is .
 
Any ideas would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you.
