[Can not select text inside my PDF]

RC-R, thanks, I tried going back a step and that did nothing. I tried going back to the beginning of my document merge and that too did nothing. 

Walt, I created the PDF through Canva with grid templates. 

[Can not select text inside my PDF]

It looks like your PDF might only contain images - if you open that PDF in Adobe Reader can you select any of the text there?

Good call BofG, no such luck. I guess it's back to the drawing board...

GarryP, I am certain that the file is a PDF. How or why it turns up as an image is beyond me. It's actually over 400 pages, so it is several PDF files. See screenshot.

RC-R, what on earth does that mean? Could I have inadvertently messed it up on myself? Is there an undo button?

I am guessing this means I have to recreate the original files.

Hmmm... Originally I opened a new file then added the pages from a file, so I never got the box. This time around, I opened it directly from the file and made sure both boxes were checked. See screenshot.  I still can not select anything to edit on the page... second screenshot. 

[Can not select text inside my PDF]

I have imported a PDF of a planner I made. At the beginning of each week I inserted some text, so I could add a hyperlink. For some reason I can not select anything at all inside the image, not the numbers of the days nor the text for each week. I have managed to hyperlink all the tabs though! Screenshot attached for reference. Very new to this, so any direction would be greatly appreciated.
