Hi! I'm trying to convert a PDF with Hebrew text into a editable doc like Word, or even rich text, but it comes out as gobbledegook - all numbers and symbols. Is there any known solution to this? Many thanks in advance. 🙏

    Hello @Stephen_Katz2262. Thanks for reaching out.

     

    We'd love to help. Just to clarify, are you using Adobe Express specifically for this PDF conversion? If you’re using another Adobe app, we’d be happy to guide you to the right place for more accurate support. Let us know so we can assist you better! 😊

     

    Thanks,

    Thanks for your speedy response! Yes, I'm using Adobe Express. And I also have Adobe Acrobat on my computer. 🙏

    Hi Stephen, 

    Unfortunately, at the moment, Adobe Express does not fully support right-to-left languages like Hebrew, which is likely why you're seeing issues when converting your PDF. We understand how important this feature is, and we’re always looking to improve the experience for all users. We encourage you to support this feature request by adding your vote here: https://adobe.ly/4iDKeGp. Your feedback truly helps us prioritize what matters most.

     

    Thank you,

    Chaimaa

      Hi

      @Niv311541475oyv

      ,

       

      Thanks for reaching out. Have you tried using the other suggested browsers (Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Google Chrome) to see if it makes a difference? Also, try clearing the browser's cache and cookies, and let us know if that helps.

       

      If the above steps doesn't help, can you share the project URL link with us to check further?

       

      Regards,

      Tarun
