I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, I need to highlight some of my notes. However, some of the pdf if I want to highlight, it can not highlight properly, which means when i highlight any sentence, it will become some word highlight and some not, just like below:You can see clearly that when I highlight this, and become like this. I don't know why.

Did you ever get a solution?  I am having the same problem.

The response that it is Bad OCR in the document is troubling since I am having this same problem with documents OCR'd using Acrobat 2017 on a mac.  And, I too spent a lot of money for that program.

What is the problem?  What is the solution? 

 

Thanks

 

The thread referenced below "Highlight tool skips characters" is not valid and I cannot find it, even if it answers the problem.

Is this in all PDFs, or only this one? Can you check others?

Some of them. Some of them is ok, but sometimes my pdf is sent by some people, and will have this problem.
