Acrobat android and ios apps showing overlapping text when typing into a fillable field.

New Here ,
Feb 28, 2025 Feb 28, 2025

I've recently noticed an issue with the adobe acrobat apps for both android and ios where when typing into a fillable field, overlapping letters are appearing -see attached photo.  The error resolves itself when you click out of the field and into another.  But when you're entering a lot of text into the field, it makes it very difficult to see and keep track of what you're typing.  This issue started recently and I saw that there was an app update on Feb. 18th kind of leading me to think this might be a bug.  Anyone else experiencing this and are there any known fixes?

See attached.  Please note that the error does not occur when using acrobat on a desktop, but I had the issue on an android tablet and iphone.  I also tried a different pdf and had the same issue.

 

Thanks.

My ipad app is the most recent version and the issue is still there. Pretty sure the issue started when it updated to this version (in mid-late February)

I have the same issue.  The version of Adobe app in the apple store is currently still listed as 25.02.05.  Do you know when version 25.02.5 will be made available?
