Hi,
in PDF X-Chang Viewer, V2.0 Build 52 till 57 we face a issue after we created a comment summary in PDF format:
- In PDF add a note (any type) with a text - include in the text the dash '-' character (Hex code #2D).
- Create a PDF summary of the comments (the complete note text will shown)
- Mark the complete text (basic tools --> select tool), <ctr-a> and copy to clipboard (<ctrl-c>)
- Paste the copied text into a text editor
You can do this with attached PDF, on the last page is a comment with a dash.
Result: The complete summary is transfered till the dash caracter. All other information is omitted.
You can also check the clipboard content, the clipboard only hold the text part till the dash.
- When you safe the comment summary, close and open it again: The transfer will work, but the dash is replaced by a question mark.
- I tested this with all ASCII character (0..255), the copy fail only for the dash, see also attachment

Hi wallabee,
thanks for the report. Can you confirm the same behaviour in the current 2.5 build 188?

your input is most appreciated.

Hi,
thanks, the Version 2.5.188.0 fix the issue. Just a minor remain: The dash is replaced with a black in the clipboard - this can accepted.
BTW, the 2.5.188 name himself as "BETA" in the about menu.
Case can be closed

Thanks for the update wallabee,
Yes build 2.5.188 is labeled as BETA because we have introduced dynamic XFA forms support, and while we are pretty happy with the stability and functionality, we wanted it to be tested with a broader audience before announcing it as stable.
Will tell Paul to close the case.
Best,
Stefan
