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.

I'm just need to know why my document is doing that. It does not make sence that it randomly generates Upper and Lowercase. 


You are having a problem doing something that has always been a problem. Stop copying text from a PDF. There is no way to know why this is happening and since the original InDesign file is available doing this is the only thing that makes no sense.
