Question

FM 2015 Save as PDF misses some table cell text?

When I Print to PDF, the table works fine.

When I Save as PDF, the content is generated but it is invisible.

This was first seen in 13.0.0.33 and it persists in 13.0.4.253.

These are simple tables, with no conditional text, text insets, variables, strange para or char formats.

MIF-washing did not fix it.

I saw it last night on my machine in Boston, and reproduced it this morning here and on a different machine with a different file by a different writer in Hyderabad, India.

    Which option was used: RGB or CMYK? Try the "other" to whatever was used to create these. These two routes use completely different postscript headers and the font handling is also quite different (and dodgy at best for the CMYK route).

    It was RGB.

    Switching to CMYK had no effect.

    This computer was at 13.0.2.433. I am upgrading to patch 4 right now.

    On my home computer, upgrading to Patch 4 had no effect until I also restarted the computer. Now it seems to be fixed there.

    On my office computer, upgrading to Patch 4 had no effect even after restarting the computer.
