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

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!

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...):

Make sure you update Acrobat to the latest version available.

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