Text created using 2.5.198 Disappears in Acrobat Reader

Post by Bob Eaton »

Hi,
I just discovered that text created with 2.5.198 disappears when the PDF is opened in Acrobat reader (9).
In acrobat, I can select the box where the text has been added, but it appears empty.
Anybody else have this issue?

Thanks,
Bob

Hello Bob,

Yes we are aware of this problem, and will be releasing a new build of the Viewer next week to correct this.

Best,
Stefan

This fix doesn't seem to be listed in the history, but I couldn't reproduce it in build 199.

Hello Bhikkhu,

While I will have to double check this with the guys to get a 100% positive answer, I do believe that this is the same issue that was affecting the typewriter tool - and it is the first fix listed in the version history:
"Fixed an issue when the text content created with the viewer is not visible in Adobe Acrobat/Adobe Reader."

Best,
Stefan
