Hi, 

This is a new issue for me, I am editing a pdf. I want to change some Roman numerals but they become Arabic numerals. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Amal, 

thanks for the reply. I was able to correct the issue by going into settings and language and untick Arabic support and the 3 boxes at the bottom. Cheers

Hi @damon32509153nz7n ,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. To help you further, could you please provide some additional information?

  1. Is this issue specific to a particular PDF file or does it occur with all PDFs you try to edit? I recommend trying with a different PDF file to see if the problem persists. If the file is on a shared network or drive, please download it locally to your computer and then try editing again.

  2. Could you walk me through the steps you're taking to edit the PDF? If possible, a small video recording of the process would be very helpful in diagnosing the issue.

  3. What version of Acrobat DC are you using? You can find this information by going to Help > About Acrobat. Please ensure you have the latest version (23.06.20360) installed. If not, you can check for updates by going to Help > Check for updates and then reboot your computer.

  4. If this seems to be a file-specific problem, it might be related to the fonts. They may not be embedded in the file or available on your system, or you might not have permission to use them. You can try the following steps:

    • Go to Edit (Windows) or Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > Preferences > Page display.
    • Under rendering, select 'Use local font'.
    • Click OK and then check if the issue persists.

 

Please let me know if any of these steps resolve the problem or if you need further assistance.
