Problem with the way text is selected.

Hoping someone might have answer...
The way text is being selected in some pdf's i have been using has suddenly changed. I am not sure if there is a setting that changed or what but i am totally mystefied. The text from the pdf was selecting by line, by line, and now its kind of doing it by "column" in a way, where the text on the clipboard now has extra carriage returns. One day it was this way, the next it was a different way.
To illustrate the format of the pdf, its layed out like:
"The seating arranements will be as follows"                     "Jack1     Jill1"
                                                                                    "Jack2     Jill2"
                                                                                    "Jack3     Jill3"
The pasted text into notepad used to look like this:
"The seating arranements will be as follows Jack1 Jill1"
"Jack2 Jill2"
"Jack3 Jill3"
Now for whatever reason it looks like this all of the sudden:
"The seating arranements will be as follows Jack1 Jill1"
"Jack2"
"Jack3"
"Jill2"
"Jill3"
The pdf doesnt contain any tags as far as i know but i just dont understand why it changed. I have tried it on three different computers with different versions of Reader. Any ideas? I dont know much about pdf, i wrote some code that parses copied text from  pdfs and now this is throwing it off

Hello June,
In the computers System preferences/Personal/ Appearance do you have
Font smoothing style set to "Automatic-Best for main display"
In Safari preferences what do you have Text encoding set to?
Is it Western (ISO Latin 1) that is what we have our set to on the
macbookpro, if not try it.
See if this article will help Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X
Please report back.

  • Problem with the way text is displayed.

    Recently I noticed that almost all of the text in my display is bold. This is preventing me from seeing new messages in my email and it's preventing me from viewing some websites properly. I've tried looking in the preferences for safari, but I can't find anything about things being bold.
    Help?

  • Problems with the Widget "Text Ticker"

    Hello, I have a problem with the widget "Text ticker". I tried to put more then one text ticker on my site, but it doesn't work, when I look in Muse it looks like this:
    and when I look in the preview only the first text ticker works...maybe it is not possible to have more then one text ticker on one site?
    Thank you.

    It seems you are using the same name for all the ticker instances on page.
    You need to have unique names for each of the ticker you want on a single page. Tickers with duplicate names will not work.
    Cheers,

  • Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    It's either hand right or left.
    I have the same issue myself.  Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

  • Problem with the way fonts display in Internet Explorer

    Howdy. I built a site about a week ago (first crack at this). It has quite a bit of content but seemed to be fine on Safari, Netscape and Firefox. I checked it out at work on a PC with Internet Explorer 6 and there were typography problems. I intentionally used simple web fonts (all Arial) to hopefully minimize this sort of thing. I used a 70% tint of Black for the font color on all the fonts. On Explorer the fonts display fine on pages 1, 2, 3, and 4. On page 5 the type appears blurry, really greyed and spread. I can't figure out why (same fonts and styles).
    As an experiment I tried posting just a couple of pages with the type at 100% black. The really bad pages weren't so bad (but not nearly as good as on the other browsers.) The site is rballister.com. If you click on any of the links (picture boxes) on the "print & mail index" pages you will see the problem with the type. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

    Because I thought it would be a nice effect, I decided to use the slider in the color pallette and change to color of the type from 100% black to 70% black (which is to to say a shade of gray). I'm referring to text that I keyboarded into iWeb. As previously mentioned, the gray type worked just fine on most browsers but caused problems in Internet Explorer (in a seemingly random way. Still can't figure out the reason). When I changed the type to black on a white background (black and white), the problem wasn't as bad as it was in Explorer, but still not nearly as good as in the other browsers.

  • A problem with the way

    Hi,
    http://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/jdev11-1-2-1-0-handling-imagesfiles-in-adf-part-3/
    For the app that is from the above download, if I am to do the same thing to handle with the image like what the app did within doGet that reside in ImageServlet, how can I simplify the steps? For instance, within doGet, it refers to one other class “ULDLAppModuleImpl” which will refer to one other “ImageAccessViewImpl”, which will refer to one other “ImageAccessView” ….

    Hua,
    the reason I did not answer on the other thread is that I don't think you get it better then a working solution on a sliver tablet.
    As usual you are posting question out of the blue. No Context. No Jdev version. No substantial information of your own.
    You are copying my code which can be loaded from by blog http://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/jdev11-1-2-1-0-handling-imagesfiles-in-adf-part-3/ without referencing the blog.
    I personally find this rude behavior!

  • Problem with the default selection screen condition

    hi guys,
    I have got some problem with the default screen given by the PNP logical database, P0000 infotype automatically populated according to the condition given in default screen.
    Reg,
    Hariharan

    Don know what u r trying to acheive.
    1) when u have specified PNP in the logical databse field of attributes of program, the SAP wil proivde u default PNP screen and here u can also add ur paramters if u want.
    2) in the program u have to declare like
    INFOTYPES: 0000,0001. "Etc
    for all the infotypes u want to use in the program.
    3) it is the GET PERNR event which wil fil all the p0000 and p0001 (internal tables for al the infotypes declared via INFOTYPES syntax as shown above)
    4) after tht get pernr, u now have data in P tables and u can use it for further reporting.
    5) refer below dummy code -

  • Many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) in CR Xi

    Hi,
    I have listed many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) function of CR Xi.
    These problems are related to this export format only (meaning everything works fine in the Viewer or in the 'Export to PDF')...
    - Multi-columns layout do not export as Multi-column (export only a one column);
    - Numeric values with parenthesis for negative values or with a fix currency sign at the leftmost position are not exported correctly;
    - Fields having a Suppress formula which is "WhilePrintingRecords" do not appears when exported;
    - Fields with 'Suppress double value' checked are not always suppressed when exported to Text.
    - 'Keep Group Together' flag is not working.
    - 'Reset Page Number After' simply does not works when exported to text;
    - 'Keep object together' on TextBox/Section is not working.
    - Whenever a group is ending on the last line of a page, the the following page as the same Group header as the previous group with no records until the page is filled, then the PageBreak and PageHeader is missing but the records of the following group appears.
    I would like to know what is the status of the 'Export to Text' function (is it a deprecated function not supported anymore???).
    If still supported, when will these bugs be fixed???
    Thanks

    Hi Rene
    Export to Text is supported till date. Crystal Reports 2008 also supports this with Keep together working however when I tried with format with multiple columns, it didnot show up in the exported text file.
    Regards
    Sourashree

    I am having a problem with the FireFox browser. I have attached two files that best describe the problem. I have labeled them A & B. A is the way it should look and B is what happens after I have I opened several tabs. I can get it back to normal if I click on VIEW than click on customize. When the customize window appears FireFox returns to its normal state. I than click on the done box and go back to what I have been doing. I tried resetting FireFox back to default settings, but that did not correct the problem.
    This began happening about a month ago. Is there a way I can fix this problem? Thanks for your help.I don't know how to attach my 2 attachments that shows the problem I am having.

    I am having problems with the Preview application.  When I try to use it to open a pdf document it gets hung-up and I have to select force quit to close it.   Any ideas on how to resolve this problem?  Thanks for any help

    Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
    If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
    Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
    Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
    How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

  • Function module based generic extractor - Problem with the selection

    Hi all
    The following is my code in the function module. I am able to get the entire data if i dont give any selections and the number of records is also correct. But when i select a MATNR value, it returns 0 records where as it needs to return 3 records. If i give selection based on bukrs, werks, lgort its working fine. But if i give selection based on MATNR, then it is not working.... I think there is a problem in the bold part of my code. If i debug, LS_MATNR is having the correct value which indicates that there is no problem with the value being passed to LS_MATNR from my selection screen of my datasource in RSA3. Even GT_WERKS is also having data. Please help.

  • Problem with the text from previous year in current year appraisal (PPR)

    Hi Gurus,
    I have some problem with the text from the PPR of the previous year in the PPR current year.
    The text from the previous year have not the same displaying in the tab "previous year" of  the current year PPR.
    EXAMPLE :
    this is write in the PPR of year 2009 in Individual Targets without Incentives (tab My S-imple) :
    -Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der Neuorientierung.
    -G1 Unterstüzung
    -Fachübergreifende Teamarbeit ausbauen
    Gefährdungsbeurteilung weiter führen
    -tragen von PSA einfordern
    -VI Opt.(Intervalle)
    -Azubi und Praktikanten AUsbildung unterstüzen
    and this is what I have in the PPR of 2010 in Individual Targets without Incentives (tab Previous Year's Targets):
    -Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der-Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der
    -Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der
    -Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der
    -Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der
    -Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der
    -Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der
    -Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der
    there is the error, all the end of the text isn't displayed and the begin of the text is repeated.
    I think that this issue is created at the creation of the PPR.

    I am having problems with the InDesign it won't download it keeps saying extract when its about 30% then it says failed. How can i get it to download all the way?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes.  Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

    Hi,
    Setting up syncing
    Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true: 
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    Hope this helps
