Copy paste removes random letters

Question

I am attempting to add certain items from one pdf to another, but I don't want to combine the pdfs. Occasionally, when I copy a text box and paste it, random letters are removed from the text box. Its not like the letters are there but hidden or not rendering, they physically are not there. This happens randomly and the only fix I have found for it is by selecting all the text in the text box, clicking out of the text box, then copying the text box.

Hi Noah,

Thank you for reaching out.

As you have mentioned above, you are trying to copy and paste the text box from one PDF to another.

Could you please confirm if you are referring text box to the form fields added in the PDF? If not, let us know how those text boxes added to the PDF.

It would be helpful if you can share the screenshot of the text box you are referring to.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
