“define” feature doesn’t appear after selecting word
After I select the word to be define, the only thing that pops up is “Note Text Freehand”. I’m sure it’s somtjing simple I’m not doing, but would really appreciate the help.
Thanks!

Hi,
If you long-press over text and get the context menu with "Note | Text | Freehand", it means that Acrobat did not recognize it as real text.
Please take a look at the two attached screenshots to see the difference.
Do you have a scanned PDF by any chance? A scanned PDF contains text *images* not real text.
Unless you use an advanced PDF editor app, such as the desktop version of Acrobat Pro, with OCR (optical character recognition) to generate a PDF document containing real text, you will not be able to use the "Define" feature or add text markup annotations (Highlight, Underline, and Strikethrough).
Sorry for the inconvenience.
