Strikethrough is treated as a comment or markup annotation in Adobe Acrobat Pro. You can remove it like any other comment.

Method 1: Select and Delete on the Page

This is the most direct method if you can see the strikethrough annotation on the page.

1. Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
2. Navigate to the page containing the strikethrough you want to remove.
3. Use the Select Tool (usually the default cursor) or activate a commenting tool like the Comment Tool (found under the "Tools" tab).
4. Click directly on the strikethrough line to select it. When selected, you might see handles or a bounding box around it.
5. Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
   • Alternatively, right-click on the selected strikethrough and choose Delete from the context menu.

Method 2: Delete from the Comments List

If your document has many comments or if the strikethrough is difficult to select on the page, you can use the Comments pane.

1. Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
2. Open the Comments pane. You can typically do this by clicking the Comment icon on the right-hand toolbar or by going to Tools > Comment.
3. The Comments pane will list all annotations in the document, including strikethroughs.
4. Locate the specific strikethrough you want to remove in the list. Strikethroughs are usually identified by the marked text and the author/date.
5. Click on the strikethrough item in the list to select it. It might also highlight the corresponding text on the page.
6. Right-click on the selected item in the list and choose Delete.
