I have an issue where my higlighter struggles to correcctly highlight the text on the page. See picture below.

I'm still abel to select the text but it is impossible to know what text I end up getting.

Here's me trying to Copy Paste one sentence:

> primary The importance national most aspects directly S

 

It's useless. Is there any way for me to readjust the text selection?

This is typically the result of an incorrect OCR process, where the text that was recognized was not placed in the right location on the page, to match the location of the text in the image. There's nothing you can do about it if you only have Reader, I'm afraid. Report the issue to the author of the file.

That is quite frustrating. But I suspected this to be the case. Thank you.
