Hi,

I am converting a file to PDF. HAve used the same source for these files many times.

Never had this anomaly before.

Once the file arrives in PDF format, it LOOKS great!

But, in copying and pasting text from it it seems that the actual text has split many of the words.

So that, if you copy and paste the words:

with security was demoralizing

You get...

with se curity was demor aliz ing

This does not appear in te PDF itself. All the words look perfect in the PDF.

I've tried running the conversion with: Smarten Punctuation an Unsmarten Punctuation on.

It is a pure text-to-text conversion. Not from a scanned image.

What do you think is happening?

Sincerely,

Blaine
