Question

Upper and lowercase

Hi there. 

I'm trying to export an pdf. Everytime I export, the letters that are written in capitals randomly go from lowercase and uppercase when I copy the text from the pdf and onto Notepad.

I've tried to force the letters to be capitals by typing them in with caps lock activated - and the problem still occurs. 

 

Does anyone know how to fix this?

What does this have to do with InDesign and why are you copy/pasting from the PDF which is never reliable?

I'm working in Indesign. It seems there is some setting in my document that does this bug - because if I copy the text(including paragraph styles) into another new document - the problem is not there. 

The reason I'm copying this from pdf, is because the pdf-file needs to be tagged in India - this is a financial report.

Regardless, it's a limitation of copy/paste from PDF. You never know what you're going to get and again, nothing to do with InDesign.


Why are you saying this has nothing to do with InDesign? It's where the problem occurs. 

My client is copying from the pdf - because he is making an iXBRL-file from the PDF. That is why.
