Question

Adobe Acrobat DC is distorting pages

Hello,

I need help; the company I work for uses this program mainly to edit pdfs, but it's been distorting many pages, normally, I'd just redo the work and keep moving, this time the lost was big, this is it did:

I REALLY need a solution for this and I honestly don't know where to look for, I'm already looking into the possibility of using another program because it's been happening way too often.

Grateful,

As of now,

For your attention,

Lucas Jardim Pinheiro

Hi Lucas,

Wow, I'm not at all certain what's taking place but to help you the following things would be helpful:

What is your operating system (and what build)?

You stated you are using Acrobat DC, I'm assuming that that's the Pro version, what build are you using?

As I look at your sample, I cannot really determine what changed because I do not have a "before" view. Can you please supply that?

And lastly, EXACTLY what are the steps you are taking to get this result.

Thanks,

Hi, Gary,

Wow indeed , here's a screenshot of what the file looked like

I've been having a lot of small problems with Acrobat not correctly detecting which fonts are been used and/or detecting the images as fonts (and vice-versa), this time it actually disappeared with every character except "o".

I open Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, click on Edit PDF, and start manually translating the file (whilst having some weird Fonts with asterisks next to it whose name have some letters switched), then I move on to the next page (I noticed the program scans per page, so it takes a few seconds) and I proceed to do the same thing while saving in between pages and breaks.

About the OS and Acrobat Version, I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (18.9.20044.251705).

And these are the System Parameters from Adobe Acrobat (which include informations about the computer), unfortunately the Adobe is installed in portuguese, so if there's any relevant information you cannot properly translate, please do question me:

Hi Lucas,

OK, the first thing I did when I saw your new notice was to verify that Acrobat Pro DC does work with Protuguês. Good news (at least for me, you probably already knew that), it does.

OK, the next question(s) I have as to where the original scanned documents come from: Who's doing the scanning and how was it done. What is the resolution the scanning is done at? Are you receiving these as images (e.g., JPG, TIF, etc.) or as PDFs?

Have you received other PDFs from this source (even you) that have worked in the past? What changes might have occurred since there were successful OCR operation (e.g., updates to OS, updates to Acrobat Pro DC, updates to your scanning software, change in scanner?

I have to leave in a few minutes and will not return until some 4 hours or so. So if you do not get an immediate response, sorry.

Good luck,
