Adobe Acrobat Pro vs. Export to Word converts double-spaces to single-space

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro (continous version 2023.006.20380) I found an issue with conversion when using the Export to Word function where double-spaces are converted to a single-space in all instances. However, when using an alternative option of right-mouse select on the PDF file from File Explorer, choose "Open with" and choose Microsoft Word, the double-spaces are maintained in the conversion.

Can the export to Word function be fixed to retain double-spaces?

You are creating a Word file from a PDF file, if I understand you correctly?

That function tries to recreate the layout in Word, but is not fail safe. Especially such "double spaces" could be optimized out. You need to know that a PDF file was never thought to be converted back to Word.
