Problem on Publisher 2.2: malformed and discontinued dotted lines

[Paul Silvester]

Hi with the installation of Publisher 2.2 I get some problem with dotted line visualization. I use Microsoft Edge latest version. The only one that display correctly but blured is Adobe Acrobat reader Latest version.
The point is that with 2.1 I get no issue about dotted lines, but the last line have the same problem (malformed first and last dot)

Hi @Paul Silvester and welcome to the forums,

The PDF you've kindly uploaded is corrupt... would you be able to re-export and re-upload so we can take a look...

[Paul Silvester]

please open with Microsoft Edge, I 've anonymized and Adobe Reader Don't open it anymore.

Bytheway in next day I export it again, but You have to wait until monday

Hi @Paul Silvester,

I don't have Edge installed on my Mac but the vast majority of PDF Readers reject the file, i.e., Apple Preview, PackZView, Callas pdfToolbox, PDF Studio and Acrobat Reader though Foxit PDF Reader will open the file...

Affinity Apps throw up an error but 'Curve' (formally Vectornator) opens it as does Google Chrome and Firefox...

A new version would be perfect, thank you...

I think this is possibly a regression as the same issue has been reported previously and I was under the impression it had been fixed but I could equally be wrong...

For me on macOS, the beginning and end dots appear deformed for every row apart from the first one in Firefox, Chrome (where there are also missing dots on the first row), Safari and every PDF Reader I've opened the file with, Acrobat, Foxit, Preview, PackZView, PDF Studio and pdfToolbox.

It opens and look fine on all my apps except in Microsoft Edge where there are missing dots on the first line.

Also opens and looks fine in all my apps on iPad and Macbook.

Hi @Paul Silvester,

You should be able to download 2.1.1 from here assuming you originally purchased directly from Serif...
