I find that underscores are lost in some places in my document when I convert to PDF.
Well the underscores are not actually lost: If I copy the text from the PDF and paste it into Notepad I can see the characters are actually there.
It is pretty easy to reproduce:
Take a blank document and input these lines:
Here is an underscore _in some text
Here is an underscore _in some text
Here is an underscore _in some text
Here is no underscore
- Make sure the font is "Courier New" (size 11). Not sure if the size matters but it certainly matters that the font is "Courier New" if you want to reproduce.
- Make sure to color the background as I do. I use one of the "theme colors", called "Dark Blue, Text 2, Lighter 80%" but I do not think it has significance which background color you use.
- Make sure to use line spacing : single and line spacing "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style"
- Now try to export to PDF using Word's build-in feature for the purpose (i.e. Save As ...).
In the PDF it looks like this:
Here is an underscore in some text
Here is an underscore in some text
Here is an underscore _in some text
Here is no underscore
What is that ?
Pls help.
