I have Adobe Acrobat Pro. I use the same set of pdf forms for all of my projects. When I am carrying information over from one project to another I typically copy and paste. Today I highlighted text to copy and paste into the other form and my text was deleted and replaced with a c. When I tried to paste into the other document all that appeared was a v. Didn't have this problem until today.

@Maureen0D4D I am guessing you are using the 'Arrow' tool to select the text. And then pasting it in the other text field? I tried on my end, and I had no issues at all. 

You could try copying text, and then paste in a text file, or even a Web Browser Web address URL to see if it did indeed copy properly. OR check the Preferences too?
