    Hi mackibee,

    How was the PDF created? If it was created by a third-party application (that is, anything other than an Adobe application), then the file may not have the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion. Please see: Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.

    You may have better luck if you disable OCR, as this document describes: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But that option isn't preferable if the PDF started out as a scanned document, as OCR is necessary to convert image text to editable text.


    Best,
