When I try to edit any block of text or resize block of text in PDF, All white spaces contained in that block of text getting replaced with '(' . This issue coming only when editing pdf using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Version: 2019.012.20040 and latest.

You'll need to replace the fonts in the original source document and export a new PDF.

I got the same results. What if you change all the fonts to a different one that IS installed on your machine. I was able to do that and successfuly edit the type. Normally, I'd not suggest doing a wholesale sawp fron one font to another, but in this case, the PDF is constructed in such a way that it works and doesn't blow up the layout.

We tried to change the block of text from one font to another font then it works fine. But I our case we have more number of pages and each page having plenty of text blocks and changing all text block font from one font to another will be time consumming and not recommended solution in our case. Kindly share recommended solution for this issue.
