when trying to edit numbers in my document; it is changing to arabic numbers

Hi i am having this same issue and dont seem to be able to even finf preferences anywhere...... can anyone help me, its driving me nuts

Many thanks. Clear directions. I now have numbers working. Assuming you have a lot of arabic users which may justify this being the default. Either way there is a quick way round it. Grateful..

Hi,

I'm really struggling - cannot edit numbers on a document without it looking like hebrew!  I have looked at the language preferences and changed to English(UK) (had automated to English(US) - There doesn't appear to even be a Hindi option, but all to no avail,  Can anyone help please.

Thank you! This solution worked perfectly for me.

Hey Sara,

I was having the same problem and I found the fix.

When you go to edit information that is already in Adobe, when you click on the writing to edit it, it automatically changes the font from what you have say its "microsoft sans sherif" it then changes your font when you are updating the information to "microsoft sans sherif - 128543" making some letters become numbers.

Simply check what font you are using by clicking on the item you are going to edit, then click edit, then on the top right in fonts, make sure you are using the same font you originally had before going into edit that word.

I hope this helps, it was so frustrating and I finally found the fix myself.

Thanks,

Eric

I have gone to Preferences, Languages, unchecked the Hindi box, and I still can't get numbers to show up correctly in my PDF edits. What the heck am I doing wrong??

Hi drake12d,

Are you able to change the font by right-clicking the text you're editing and choosing a different font from the Format section in the Tools panel?

Best,

Sara
