Hindi Language PDF Page Edit Problem

Question

When we open a PDF that is already created in Hindi to edit it, as soon as we start editing and write our text in Acrobat Pro, all the Hindi matras (diacritical marks) get scattered, meaning they don't remain in their correct form. The matras that should appear before the letters end up appearing after the letters. When editing Hindi PDFs, the matras that get scattered don't get fixed and ruin the entire sentence. Please detect this problem and fix it. This problem has existed for many years and has not been fixed in any new updates.

This is a well-known issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro where Hindi diacritical marks (vowel signs/matras) become misaligned or displaced when editing existing Hindi PDFs. The matras appear in the wrong position relative to consonants, making the text unreadable. This is typically due to incorrect Unicode rendering or font encoding issues in Acrobat's text editing engine for Devanagari script.

Hi Abhishek Ravi,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the trouble caused.

Please let us know if the fonts are embedded in the PDF. Also, do you have fonts available on the machine when you edit the PDF?

Please share a sample PDF so we can share it with the team. We will check if it is a known issue.

If you can share the screen recording of what happens, that would be helpful.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
