herrmayr Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hi everyone! When I export my document as PDF (I have tried different PDF presets, too), I can select the text in a PDF viewer app. However, when I paste the copied text somewhere, the text does not have any blank spaces anymore - they are replaced with the letter "p". I have no idea if this is a very funny bug or if I did something wrong, but here it is ... I have added the raw file, the PDF and a screenshot. Maybe somebody has an idea what I can do to resolve this issue? Thank you, have a nice day!

No problem here on Windows with Acrobat Pro and Foxit Reader. Perhaps you should try another PDF reader?

Fixx Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 When I open in Apple Preview and copy paste to Mail window – lines paste without linebreaks, as long normal text, real paragraphs though are as they should. Text format as in original. That is like it should be, like original text. When I open in Adobe Reader and copy paste to Mail window – lines paste with linebreaks, real paragraphs as they are. No text formatting. When I open in PDF Expert and copy paste to Mail window – lines paste without linebreaks, real paragraphs as they are. No text formatting. No P line-ends anywhere.

herrmayr Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Oh, thank you for testing! In fact, the problem does not occur when using Preview or Adobe Acrobat on the Mac. Curious! I have been using PDFPen Pro, which I use dozens of times a time with various PDF, never encountering such an error before. So I didn't assume the problem to be PDFPen. Thanks, this seems to be a PDFPen bug rather than an Affinity Bug indeed. Maybe it's time to finally switch to PDF Expert, now that Smile has also sold PDFPen to another corp - but that's a topic for another day and forum Thank you again!
