Bookmarking Text running together with no spacing between words

In regard to my ongoing problem with the bookmark text running together, I was asked by an Adobe Expert if I had in the options section "Wrap Long Bookmarks". Yes I have that turn on. Any other areas I need to look at? Text still runs together even though the title selected has the appropriate spaces between words.

Whether you're viewing bookmarks with the Wrap Long Bookmarks toggle on or off won't have any effect on the appearance of the names.

Try this. Create a new blank page (File > Create PDF > From Blank Page). Create a bookmark (Command/CTRL + B). Type new text for your bookmark name. If the bookmark doesn't show spaces in the name you've got something wrong with your Acrobat installation. You may need to desinstall/reistall.If the bookmark name appears fine, open a context menu on the bookmark and choose Use Current Appearance as New Default. Then try to go back to your document, create a new bookmark and see if that works.
