Hi all,

I've spent some time creating a table and adding some text headers in a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC. I want to copy the finished table to another PDF that I'm editing.

The table looks like this in the original PDF:

But if I select the area, then copy and paste to the second PDF, all I get is this...

Any thoughts on what the issue is here / how I get the entire contents to copy? It was quite painstaking to create the table in the first place, so I'd prefer not to have to start from scratch.

Thank you

You could make this again in Word in a few minutes, and convert to PDF. I'd recommend that. Acrobat was never meant to actually make this stuff...

Thanks. My issue is that I have a 'nearly' complete PDF and I just need to insert this table. The table has been handed to me in a Word Doc. So the issue is I just need to somehow insert the table from the word doc, rather than create a new PDF from it. Again though, I take the point that Acrobat is not really meant to do what I'm trying to make it do.
