Inserting special characters

You can insert certain special characters (line breaks, soft hyphens, nonbreaking spaces,
and em dashes) in a tagged Adobe PDF document to improve the way it reflows. (See

Reflowing the contents of tagged Adobe PDF documents

.) You can also insert these

special characters in any Adobe PDF document to improve the way it's read by a screen
reader or simply to edit it for general readability purposes. You do not need to have the
font installed in order to insert special characters.

To insert a special character in an Adobe PDF document:

1. Choose Tools > Advanced Editing > TouchUp Text Tool.

Note: You can also select the TouchUp Text tool

on the Advanced Editing toolbar,

but be careful not to click the Select tool

on the Selection toolbar, which has a

different function.

2. Click where you want to insert the character, or select text to be replaced by the character.
3. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the selected text or location, and

choose Insert > [special character].
