Copy and paste that does not take accents into account

Bonjour, 

J'utilise Adobe Acrobat Pro DC et lorsque je veux copier-coller un texte (copier depuis Acrobat et coller dans Word par exemple), les caractères avec accents (é, è, à,...) ne s'affichent pas et sont remplacés par des espaces. 

 

Par exemple, je copie ce texte depuis Acrobat : "le secrétaire général doit se charger d’organiser un des évènements clés de l’association", et lorsque je colle (dans Word ou un moteur de recherche) il apparaît ceci : "le secr taire g n ral doit se charger d’organiser un des  v nements cl s de l’association". 

 

Quelles manipulation dois-je faire pour régler le problème ? 

Merci

Hi Marie-Hermine

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, copy Paste that does not take accents into account.

 

Would you mind sharing the version of the Adobe Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version of the application go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the latest version 21.05.20048 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once and check if that helps.

 

If it doesn't work, please try to reset the Acrobat preferences to default as described in the help page https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-default/td-p/4792... and see if that works.

 

You may also try create a new test user profile with full admin rights or enable the root account in Mac and try using the application there and check.

 

Regards

Amal

A priori c'est un problème d'encodage des caractères, typique des PDF générés avec des logiciels bas-de-gamme, mais pour vous aider plus avant il faudrait que vous partagiez votre document.

Hello,

 

Thanks for reporting the issue.

 

Issue is reproducible at our end.

Has forwarded it to our engineering team.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

For Acrobat DC users, as a workaround, please use "Copy With Formatting" option available on right click context menu (right beneath "Copy" option).

I always used Acrobat Reader in my work, I always copied the texts and never had problems.

But now when I copy and paste a text somewhere else, it doesn't copy the accents, it's like a "blank" character. I tried to uninstall and install without success. I've already tested it with another PDF reader and it works normal, it copies normal text, just like in the browser.
Despite that, I didn't want to stop using adobe. Can someone help me?

Hi LeonardoJacobsen

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described when I copy text in Acrobat Reader doesn't copy the accents.

 

Would you mind sharing the version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the version 21.05.20048 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

 

You may also try to repair the installation (Win Only) from the help menu and see if that works. Go to Help > Check for updates

 

You may also try to reset the Acrobat preferences to default as described in the help page - https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-default/td-p/4792... and check if that helps.

 

You may also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in WIndows or enable the root account in Mac and try using the application there and check.

Thank you very much for the reply, but it didn't work.

I tried to follow the steps to Restore the Acrobat preferences files (Mac OS) but the files mentioned were not present:

 

Acrobat WebCapture Cookies
com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist or com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist
Acrobat Distiller Prefs and com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist (if you are troubleshooting an issue with Distiller)
The Acrobat folder, which contains preferences for forms (MRUFormsList), collaboration (OfflineDocs), and color settings (AcrobatColor Settings.csf)

 

I keep trying to find out what happened.

Thank you for your help

Je ne pense pas que le problème vienne d'un problème d'encodage des caractères. J'ai généré des fichiers avec les dernières versions d'indesign et d'Illustrator et j'ai aussi le problème.

Le problème vient de l'installation de la dernière version du 08 juin 2021 Version DC de juin 2021 (21.005.20048). Je n'avais pas le problème avec la précédente du 11 mai 2021 Version DC de mai 2021 (21.001.20155).

Dans mes paramètres Creative Cloud, j'ai bien spécifié que je ne voulais pas des installations automatiques, mais Mais Acrobat s'est mis à jour sans demander... Et du coup toute l'entreprise a le même problème. 

Désinstaller et réinstaller ne change rien. J'ai fait cette manipulation suite à la demande d'une personne chez Adobe.
On peut à priori peut-être contourner le problème en cliquant droit puis en utilisant "copier avec formatage".
Lors du coller, le texte est collé avec entre des "". 

J'ai contacté le support Adobe à ce problème...

@Serene_nature15C3 I think another user is having a variation of this problem with accented glyphs being retained.

See this post. https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/spanish-accents-missing-letters/m-p/12124669

 

The user is copying FROM Acrobat 2021.005.20048 to other programs, and the accented glyphs started being dropped with the recent release. Can you alert engineering about this variation, too?

 

I'm concerned about how this bug is happening. Given that the fonts are OpenType/Unicode, each accented character is a unique codepoint that should be retained amoung different technologies and file formats. That was one of the main reasons why the computer industry adopted Unicode in 2000.

 

Examples:

  • 00F1 = Latin lowercase n with tilde |  ñ
  • 00E9 = Latin lowercase e with acute  |  é

Both the accent and the root letter are one Unicode glyph; hard to understand how an entire portion of the Unicode code chart is not being recognized or retained. That's a huge number of glyphs! http://www.unicode.org/charts/ see Latin Basic, Latin Supplement, Latin extended, etc.

 

Thanks for pushing this up the channels!

"Dans mes paramètres Creative Cloud, j'ai bien spécifié que je ne voulais pas des installations automatiques, mais Mais Acrobat s'est mis à jour sans demander"

C'est dans les Préférences d'Acrobat que ça se règle.

En fait Acrobat Pro ne fait pas vraiment partie de Creative Cloud, c'est plutôt une pièce rapportée développée par une équipe indépendante. Il suffit de comparer les interfaces pour s'en convaincre 😉

Pour ma part, je n'ai pas à savoir qui a développé Acrobat Reader. Dans l'application, il est bien indiqué "Adobe Acrobat Pro DC". Le copyright 1984-2021 est bien attribué à Adobe... Et j'avais bien installé Acrobat reader Pro DC depuis Creative Cloud. De plus, il m'a été impossible de garder décoché l'option de mise à jour automatique. Dès que je revenais dessus, elle était cochée.

Quand je désactive les mises à jour automatiques dans l'interface  Creative Cloud, je ne dois pas avoir à vérifier si les applications ont leurs propres fonctionnement spécifique.
Le problème est temporairement résolu. J'ai déinstallé acrobat, installé la version que m'a indiqué le support Adobe (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html), puis mis à jour vers la version 21.001.20155.

Mais entre la mise à jour auto que je n'avais pas vu, une mise à jour (AcroRdrDCUpd2100120155_MUI.dmg) de la version 21.001.20155 qui bloquait tout, j'ai du dé-installer et ré-installer 3 fois Adobe Acrobat.
Je n'ai actuellement plus le problème.
A noter : sur mon PC qui a la version 21.005.20048, je n'ai pas le problème d'accents lors des copier / coller.

Cette option n'est disponible que dans Acrobat Pro, pas dans Acrobat Reader.

Mais vous n'avez peut-être pas à savoir la différence entre les deux ?

I have ADOBE PRO cont release version V2021.005.20048. When I check for updates it says I am up to date - how can I correct this problem if the program won't give me an update option.

You need to download the optional update, as stated above. Works for me on my Mac OS install, even though I'm quite curious why the update can't be installed / found via the Check for updates. I'm copying from PDF files to InDesign several times a day, and a lot of errors can occur, if there are special characters in the PDF 😕
