Markup does not work properly in pdf-files in iBook

I used to write some text on pdf-files i iBook, using "Markup" and +Text. I can stil write with the software "pencil" in Markup, but I can't use til textbox anymore. It does not work in any pdf's.

Actually the textbox shows, but I can not write my own text in it anymore :(

It is some time since the problem suddenly occured. Maybe 6-12 month. Probably after an update...

What can I do to make i work?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Mark up will not work in preview I opened a pages document in preview to edit with markup, it will not allow me to click any button to edit including Markup & signature, also I cannot click anything in the tools menu. Usually this isn't an issue, though I have run into this problem for some files in the past and never found a solution. The editing was unlocked for all on the pages document, don't know if that's relevant. Hoping someone has a solution or at least reason why this is happening sometimes.

Preview mark up text box can't be dragged Hi guys, since I upgraded my Macbook to MacOS Ventura 13.4, I haven't been able to drag the text box under the Markup function. Has anyone else also experienced this and are there any solutions? Thank you!

Fillable PDF text size When editing fillable PDFs with text fields, the Apple PDF renderer will not dynamically adjust the text size. This is an issue with macOS Preview.app and most iOS apps. This is not an issue with Chrome or Firefox on macOS. For example, see the issues with the BSA Eagle Scout Rank Application. There are no issues when editing this PDF with Google Chrome on macOS: There are issues when editing this PDF with Apple macOS Preview.app:
