Make Pan Tool Pan Again
A number of people continue to think it's a "bug" rather than a "feature" that the pan tool selects images & text by default in Acrobat DC. And they ought to be right, this is not a desirable feature for a pan tool, vice a select tool. In fact, it's why you have a select tool in the first place: to select images & text.
Pan tools PAN, as allow you to navigate through the document by clicking & dragging. This feature is literally defeated by having it select images and text when you click & drag. As such, it would be to the benefit of all users if you defaulted the option "Make Hand Tool Select Text & Images" to "off", rather than "on".
I'd be willing to bet that if you pushed this out in an update, you'd have precisely no one turn it on.
