Font thickness is always different when I edit the text

New Here ,
Oct 27, 2022 Oct 27, 2022

Hi,
I'm encountering a problem on Adobe Acrobat.

Whenever I edit the texts of a PDF file, whatever the font, my added text looks bolder or thinner while having the exact same font properties (bold or not, size, etc...)

I thought this might only be a preview issue.
But even when the PDF is exported and opened in another software, we can see the difference of font thickness between the original text and the letters/words added.

I tried to change many settings related to rendering, using local fonts etc... but nothing works, even reinstalling Acrobat.
If I try to edit the PDFs with Illustrator, the added text keeps the same thickness as the original, this only happens in Acrobat, but unfortunately, Illustrator is doing a mess with the different text zones (splitting one line of text in two separate text areas for example), which makes the editing fastidious.

Thanks.

Hi @Mehdi26828619xtvw 

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that. Is this an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs that you try to edit? Please try with a different PDF file and check. Also, Please share the sample PDF file with us for testing at our end. 

 

What is the version of Acrobat DC and the OS you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 22.3.20258 Optional update version 22.3.20263 (Windows Only) and reboot the computer once. You may also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in Win or enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check.

 

Regards

Amal

Hi @Amal.,

Thanks for your reply.
I'm using the 22.3.20258 version on Windows 10.

I already tried reinstalling Adobe Acrobat and rebooting the computer.
Unfortunately I can't send you this one since it's confidential, but this problem happens on all PDF files.
