I have pasted plain text into two fields in my document and it pastes as individual question marks in rectangles. You will see in the bottom field, I already have some red text entered into the field. If I continue to type, it will type correctly but if I paste text from the clipboard (plain text, or formatted text) it appears as missing characters. I've been using this form for several years but today, it started doing this nonsense.
You cannot paste text in a field that uses the Rich Text Format option.
You must deactivate this option before pasting the text.
Tip: create a temporary text field, without the RTF option, and paste the text into this field. Then you can copy it again and paste it in the field in RTF format.
This is a bug that came with Acrobat X and has not been fixed since, despite several requests.
