Remove formatting in comment with Copy Selected Text Highlight

[jacobh10093714]

Acrobat Pro 2017 on Mac Mojave

So, PDFs have a lot of enters/returns...they are single lines of text. So when you enable Copy Selected Text into Comment you get a bunch of comments with text that looks like this:

How many times have you exclaimed, “What a small world!”? The speed at

which we travel, send goods, and communicate with people in other parts of

the world seems to erase the tremendous distances that separate us.

When what you really need is:

How many times have you exclaimed, “What a small world!”? The speed at which we travel, send goods, and communicate with people in other parts of the world seems to erase the tremendous distances that separate us.

How do you tell Acrobat to automatically ignore that pesky spacing...

At the moment I CMD-C all the text into the chrome search bar CMD-V back into the comment... there has to be a better way.

Hi Jacobh,

As you have mentioned above, you are referring that you copy the selected highlight text under the Comment tool.

Then when you paste that text, it is not in the required format as you have mentioned in the post above.

Could you please let us know where exactly you are pasting the text?

Are you pasting the text in some document on other application? If yes, please let us know the application name.

Also, did you check if you experience this behavior only with that application or with others as well?

What is the version of the Adobe Acrobat application on your machine? Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

Also, share the Mac OS version.

Let us know if you have any questions or need any help.

Regards,

Meenakshi

Hi, I'm generally pasting into OneNote, though the same thing happens when pasting text into Word, Google Docs, or Notes.
