special characters in acrobat DC

[adamt35581006]

I need to use the registered R in my PDF, however I have been unable to locate where in acrobat that you can access the special characters. I've gone through the program and the help sections and all that's mentioned is to open the "glyphs" window but apparently that doesn't exist. At least not in my program. Any suggestions?

You insert symbols in Acrobat the same way you do for any other program - using the system Character Map tool or a keyboard ALT-code.

ALT+0174 = ®

I've tried that, I hold ALT then type 0174, the system keeps dinging as though I am doing something not allowed to do. All the other programs I use all I do is type (r) and it pops up

Make sure you type the numbers on the numeric keypad, not the keys above QWERTY - and that you have NUM LOCK on.

Automatically converting (R) into ® is part of the auto-correct system in some apps, but Acrobat is not and was never designed to be "Word for PDFs". It neither knows nor cares if you're writing about a registered trademark or a Republican senator, so it expects you to type what you actually want.

Another option is to copy and paste from another application in which it is easier to produce this glyph.

Also, it may depend on exactly where and how you try to enter these characters. Sometimes you can't do it because the current font doesn't have the characters.

In Windows, it helps to learn how to use "Character map", which is the standard solution to this for all apps where it works.

The best way is using "insert symbols" of  Microsoft Word and then copy and paste it into Acrobat DC document with the same font.
