Hi @Livescroll58650 ,

Is this happening with just that file or with every PDF document?

Meanwhile, three things come to my mind:

turn off the mobile device and power on the device (not a restart)
If your Acrobat Mobile app isn't updated, try to update the app to its latest version from its app store and try again
If your app is already updated to its latest version, Backup all of your PDF documents in your mobile device, and uninstall/reinstall the app; a phone restart may be required after this procedure

The problem occurs on all editable PDF forms for two weeks. Previously, the text during editing would fit directly into the form.

Can you share the PDF form in question?

Ok, as mentioned I could reproduce the issue on Android, not only with your PDF but with others, too. Also I couldn't find the error in your file that I knew to cause similar issues. So apparently this is an error in the current Acrobat for Android.

The issue appears to be that Acrobat, while editing a field, displays both the current (edited) version of the field contents and the former (unchanged) version thereof. This is especially visible when the original contents had been filled in with some other software that formatted the text slightly differently, or when one edits at the start of the former contents.

Hello,

Is there a way to fix this issue? i am currently having the same issue of "double" text showing up on our techs tablets with PDF work orders we send from the office. I have tried to create a new template to see if that has helped and it hasn't
