copy-paste problem

Report · Feb 13, 2022

A new behavior is puzzling me: when I copy and paste text from Acrobat DC Pro (any file) to Word and to Apple Mail messages, the text comes out in Italics. Is there a reason? I want Roman characters (no itals). This never was a problem, but now is on my M1 laptop. My other machine is Intel based; has same fonts, apps, and OS–and it does not produce this error.

Is this a known bug? If anyone has an M1 machine could you please test this and see if you can reproduce the error? Thanks.

Lates Acrobat DC Pro; latest Monterey; M1 laptop.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction @mattpat! I removed my answer as a correct answer.

However, there is a workaround that I have tried and tested at my end.
Ensure the Select tool is selected. Select the text you need to copy, right-click on the highlighted text, and choose content menu options > Choose "Copy with formatting." Then try pasting the text into MS Word, and it should work fine.

Let me know if that works on your end.

With the older UI of Acrobat DC Pro Adobe eventually gave command-G back (repeat search in advanced search). That is not the case with "Modern" Acrobat. Can you please find out if this feature will be added to the program? It's really essential and obviously was fixable in the past. Tx.
