    @Max36294781q7xu Not much we can do here. 

     

    But Yes! We would love to improve our recognition engines. 

    Would you mind sharing a sample file where you experienced the issue, so the team could look into it?

    Hi @Max36294781q7xu,

     

    Hope you are doing well. Thank you for writing in!

     

    Have you tried using the feature "Recognize Text?" This can make the text editable for eligible languages.

     

    Once you open the file, click on More Tools-> Recognize Text.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Not so much. I selected recognize text and edit pdf but it is difficult to
    highlight and capture text. When I copy and paste what I highlighted it
    just pastes gobblygook and not what I had written. Is there further
    guidance to make this work?

    Thank you,
    Max
