Bug Report: Typing diacritics

I have Mac OS Sequoia 15.5. I'm using Adobe Acrobat's ability to type on documents to fill in the blank for studying Spanish. It can type diacritics properly in comments. When I use the type text function, it types the letter without the diacritic before the letter with the diacritic. Is there a way to make sure Adobe gets the bug report? I've attached an image with an arrow pointing to the example.

@caring_adventures0945 have you thought of using keyboard shortcuts? As you know, macOS has built-in keyboard shortcuts for diacritics. Instead of holding down a letter, try using the "Option" key combinations. For example, to type "á", you would press Option + E (which produces an acute accent) and then A. For "ñ", you would press Option + N (which produces a tilde) and then N. While you might be doing this already, sometimes being very deliberate with these key combinations can help. That's what I normally do...and there are other times if I don't know the keyboard shortcut, I try the Google copy and paste method!
