    Hello, certain letters are being replaced with other characters that are incorrect.

    I typed 45678. PDF editor turns it to . The language is already set to English. What can I do to get the correct text?

    Hello,

    sorry that this question remained unanswered for so long.

    Wrong characters like this often appear when the text is written with a font that is embedded in the PDF and contains only some of the characters, for example in a form field. To find the cause, please tell us:

    1. What exactly did you do: fill in a form field, add new text, or change text that was already in the PDF?
    2. Which version of PDF24 Creator do you use? Please update to the current version first and try again: https://tools.pdf24.org/en/creator

    So that we can reproduce this, please send us a file where it happens to forum@pdf24.org.

    If you changed text that was already in the PDF: editing existing content is in the works and will be released with one of the upcoming versions once it is finished. Until then, you can cover the old text with a white rectangle and add new text on top. The old text stays in the file underneath. This also works online: https://tools.pdf24.org/en/edit-pdf

    To fill in a form online you can also use: https://tools.pdf24.org/en/fill-out-pdf
