Hand tool does not change to other tools

Post by eikang1125 »

When I switch the hand tool to the text selection tool or highlighting tool, the cursor doesn't change shape. How do I fix it?

Hello eikang1125,

Can you please check the version of our Editor you currently have installed? You can find that under Help -> About.
If you are at any other version than the current latest (V10 build 386) - please update:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/downloads
And let us know if that resolves the problem.

Then please also make sure that your file is not locked - as if it is locked - you might not be able to use those tools, so clicking them will not actually change you from the hand tool, and the hand would remain the active one.

I just tested here on my end, and the tools and the mouse cursor are correctly changing for me.

Kind regards,
Stefan
