PDF Conversion Question

Hey all,

So I've been messing around with PDF conversions and I encountered one issue i'm not sure how to resolve.

"I went to the store to find some cheese and was quite
upset when I found this out"

So essentially, what happens is I've increased the unwrap factor to .5, making the sentences much better, and i've also tried removing spacing between paragraphs, yet the document stil creates these odd breaks in the sentences and then uses the rest of the sentence to create an new indented paragraph.

Is there anyway to potentially fix this? It doesn't happen with every document, so I imagine that its document specific, but I would like to know if theres a potential solution.

Thanks for any help!

Hey,

I belive the option you're searching for is "Line Un-Wrapping Factor" under PDF Input in the conversion Settings. Play with it, and the results will become better, at least they did for me most of the times.
I think, .5 is default, but sometimes .6 or .4 works better.

Oh, for some reason I thought it only went up to .5, I'll try a .6 and see if it fixes it completely ;p thanks.
