Working with an Indesign PDF

[Roger terry]

There is definitely a problem with working in a PDF from InDesign. If I start a new document, create a text box, add text and make it a bulleted list, it works perfectly. If I copy and paste within the same document it is ok. If I create another new document and paste, it is ok but If I put a text box into the document created by Indesign and imported into APu, copy a well formatted text box, split the text into paragraphs and hit bulleted list, the first line is indented to 53.7mm and clicking to change the tab stop gives crazy numbers.If I go to the pdf and paste, it comes in as a text box with text at 9pt on 5 pt and impossible to change.

If I create a new text box and import text, it comes in as 9pt on I guess about 6pt leading and impossible to change. I could make a screenshot video if what I am saying is hard to understand.

Further to this, I have made a very small video showing the problem.

Thanks for the report. We think we know what causes this - it can also happen if you change the DPI of a document - and it should be fixed in a future beta.

Actually I have just experienced it in a new document, no import other than from Word. Bulleted indent seems out of control.

I believe most of the issues I have had were due to taking text from a pdf. If I take text from a Word document and remove all the formatting, then past is AFPub all works perfectly. A great program!
