When using Find and Replace in DC alignment issue with replaced text

[steelervince66]

Hello!

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version 2022.002.20191 | 64 bit | Windows 10, and I have recently started to encounter somethnig when I am finding and replacing text in a PDF.

I start by Editing the PDF

I use the Find feature and add text

I expand the Find box by clicking on Replace and enter text in the Replace box

I click the Find Next and then Replace

When I click replace the text is replaced and realigned to Justified with additional spaces in the text box area.

I need to manually adjust the alignment back to left aligned in order to get the original look of the text in the text box.

Does anyone know why this may be happening or has anyone experienced this in the past and have a better soultion?

Thank you in advance for any guidance/assistance you are able to provide!

PDF files were never meant to be edited in this way, so doing so is always going to be tricky and, in some cases, destructive to the layout of the file. There's no real solution to your issue, therefore. The correct way to do such changes is to apply them to the original file (if available) and then produce a new PDF file from it.
