thetasig Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 When you use a non-breaking hyphen between words, and then export to PDF, Adobe Acrobat sees that as a non-printing square. See screen shot. The solution is to use a "standard" hyphen - I found I had to open the Mac TextEdit application and just type a hyphen and transfer that into the AFPUB document. Then it comes out in the PDF as a hyphen. I think that the AFPUB "Soft Hyphen" is also broken in that regard. Quote
thetasig Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 Sorry for the omission, the standard keyboard hyphen in AFPUB also works properly in a PDF. Quote
thetasig Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 Finally, I think, the original document in beta had all keyboard-typed hyphens. Nothing fancy. However, it seems that the latest document has changed all of those standard hyphens into non-printing characters when exported as a PDF into Acrobat. I will try a Find and Replace on all to see if that corrects them (it seems to do so when I manually type in the hyphen again). Quote
thetasig Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 I believe that I can safely say the non-printing character was a glitch that has been fixed between the beta and the final. But I did have to manually re-enter the keyboard hyphens in order to get rid of the non-printing character in the exported PDF. I'm guessing it was a database conversion issue in beta. Quote
