        Hi Basheer

         

        Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that. As described the digits appear in Arabic but you type in English.

         

        Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check.

         

        What is the workflow/steps you are doing? Please share the screenshot or a small video recording for a better understanding of the issue.

         

        What is the version of the Adobe Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the application updated to the latest version 21.05.20058. Go to Help > Check for Updates and reboot the computer once.

         

        Also go to Edit (Win), Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > Preferences > Language > Set Application language to English > Click OK and reboot the application.

         

        Regards

        Amal

          Salam Basheer,

          You know that PDF is not the right place to edit text, I mean it is not a word processor, I advise the users to always go back to the original file and do the changes there then generate a fresh PDF.

           

          Having said that, with limited changes and edits such as in your situation. Did you try to change Text Alignment in the format panel on the right?

          You may also need to visit Acrobat's Language Preferences to see some Middle Eastern options to see what is the settings for " Main paragraph direction" drop menu.
