Some characters (Swedish å ä ö) pasting as blank spaces.

[MarinusBarletius]

I scanned some Swedish documents using Adobe Scan app for iPhone, set to text recognition in Swedish.

Then I sent it to my MacBook Pro and opened with Adobe Acrobat DC 2021, in order to copy/paste it for translation in DeepL Translate.

When I copy/paste, all the ä, å, and ö characters paste in as blank spaces. I tried pasting into TextEdit app, Pages, and DeepL website. Same result in every app. 

How to correct? Thank you! This is an emergency actually!

Make sure you update Acrobat to the latest version available.

[MarinusBarletius]

Yes, it is the latest I think.

You need to be sure. Look under Help - About Acrobat. What's the version number written there?

2021.005.20048

21.005.20054 is the latest which lists this fix:

Strange, because it shows I am up to date. I am running this on a Mac.

It's an "optional" update (why would you make a fix for a critical bug mandatory, after all...):

This is now solved. Thank you for your help!
