When converting a PDF in Hebrew into an editable doc - it comes out as gobbledygook

[Stephen_Katz2262]

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. 🙏🏼

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?

Hello Tarun and thank you for helping.
The steps you suggested did not help.
I sent you the file share url in a private message.

Hi @#musicfan,

Welcome to the community! For now, you can use PNG or another export format.

Thank you that worked.

That is good enough for now as a sample, but I need it to be an editable PDF

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,
