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.

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.

Why not do it directly from InDesign?

 

You will of course need custom XML exporting tool ... been there, done that.
