Unable to write Numbers at the beginning of any Field

[Deghidy]

I have Adobe Acrobat DC Pro Version: 18.9.20044.

I'm trying to edit an existing PDF file, but I'm not able to write numbers at the beginning of any field.

Adobe Acrobat Reader flips it to the end of the sentence.

Ex:

If I'm writing an address like this:

9999 Test Street, CA. it put the numbers to the end of the text as below:

Test Street, CA 9999.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

That's strange... Maybe the field is defined as Right-to-Left field? Or maybe there's a script that does that?

Could you share this file with us (via Dropbox, Google Drive, Adobe DC, etc.)?

Please find a sample test file at this link:

There are no fields in in this file. Are you maybe trying to edit the static text directly?

Sorry for making you confused.

I meant by the word “field” the static text line that represent the address line.

Hope this clarifies the issue.

I realized a strange behavior that might help.

The text Writing/Editing direction is always from right to left regardless of the settings under Preferences >> Language.

Please refer to the below language settings:

No problem with version 19.012.20035 of Adobe Acrobat DC.

It seems to be a bug.

I performed a workaround and it fixed the issue.

Simply, change the "Current language for non-Unicode programs" back to English, it would fix the writing direction issue that causes the problem.

Most probably if you have any right to left language defined, you would face the same issue.
