Go to Preferences.

Select Language on the left pane.

Uncheck the 'Hindi Digits' checkbox (second last option).

Click OK.

Hi drake12d,

Are you able to change the font by right-clicking the text you're editing and choosing a different font from the Format section in the Tools panel?


Best,

Sara

This little checkbox has been causing me a MAJOR HEADACHE! Why is this a default? This seems like it should be something you choose to have. Meanwhile, because I haven't been able to figure it out, I've been having to recreate PDFs just to fix ONE number!

In my Adobe you can find preferences under Edit.  It is the last one in the list.

Hi Sara

I've just worked out what is causing the problem and it was simply, I cant make an amendment without clicking 'edit pdf' first, as I said first time using this version but thanks guys for all you inputs.

Cheers.

I have gone to Preferences, Languages, unchecked the Hindi box, and I still can't get numbers to show up correctly in my PDF edits. What the heck am I doing wrong??

Hey Sara,

I was having the same problem and I found the fix.

When you go to edit information that is already in Adobe, when you click on the writing to edit it, it automatically changes the font from what you have say its "microsoft sans sherif" it then changes your font when you are updating the information to "microsoft sans sherif - 128543" making some letters become numbers.

Simply check what font you are using by clicking on the item you are going to edit, then click edit, then on the top right in fonts, make sure you are using the same font you originally had before going into edit that word.

I hope this helps, it was so frustrating and I finally found the fix myself.


Thanks,

Eric
