Hi Dónal, I, too, am a developer, and will report this. If nothing else it might convince them to mark mine as a duplicate of yours, which will bring more attention to yours, one hopes. In the mean time, there is a nice PDF reader called Skim which is accessible and doesn't show any of these odd reading issues. More over, there are other ways to read PDF files, such as opening them in Nisus Writer Pro, which I've found does a superlative job with converting them into something very much like a text edit document. Hope this helps, Zack. On Jul 23, 2012, at 4:11 PM, Dónal Fitzpatrick <[email protected]> wrote:
