Hi
Is any one else having problems with the new pdf file displaying italics as strange symbols. It only seems to happen on page 139. with the words: more, full defense, grazing hit, and the text at the bottom of the table. It happens in Adobe professional 6, and Adobe reader 7. If i cut the symbols and paste them into word you can read them no with no problems, but i want to print the book out and it prints the symbols and not the words. Any help will be much appreciated. |

Yes, that is happening to me as well. It's the bottom of the Weapon Range Table, FYI.

Interestingly, if I copy the text and paste it into Word, it's legible.

Damn ... I was wondering if it was a vendor issue. PDF 1.2 will probably solve the problem :cyber:

I have the same problem. Slacker, what size is your PDF? Mine is 65,331,200 bytes. I'm wondering if there is a corruption in some of them for some reason.

Well first they'd have to be able to identify the cause of the problem, which is kind of difficult to do when it only happens on some computers. |

Same sizes. Good point on the "it only happens sometimes" but I've also noticed that those are the types of things that just evaporate later. Plus, it could easily be a client-side issue based on versions, plug-ins, OS, etc. and thus not really FanPro's problem.

The first version works fine with no currupted text (but it does run a lot slower). |

I have the same problem (got mine from Battlecorps as well). I'm sure it'll be resolved with the next release.

Seeing squares, Tildes, and brackets of random types usually means that whoever compiled the PDF did so on a machine that didnt have the same font as the one that the text was made in.. what you're effectivly seeing is a control code that the compiling machine didnt have a clue what to do with.
(or in SR4 terms, who ever did the v1.1 pdf got a hit on his computer (adobe acrobat) check, but came up with more than 50% of the dice as 1's. ) |

I'm seeing the "square italics" as well. I can guess the words underneath so I don't sweat. I plan to print it soon and I'll just pencil in the words.

No issue in Preview, I'll check with adobe 7 on my PC in a minute.
EDIT: It does happen in acrobat 7 on my PC though |

I got mine from Battlecorps and I don't have any problems with it. Maybe the latest update fixed that, I got mine after the first errata correction was put in it.

Me neither, the first pdf ran with no corruption, it just ran really slowly. It was only with the release of version 1.1 that i got corruption.
