1. Re: Very strange anomaly in PDFs generated from InDesign CS5
P Spier May 12, 2011 10:03 AM (in response to confused_again)Not sure if this would cause it as I'm not an InCopy user, but are you tracking changes?
Are you patched to 7.0.4?
Does an export to .idml fix it? See Remove minor corruption by exporting

confused_again May 12, 2011 10:07 AM (in response to P Spier)Yes, I am tracking changes in InCopy - but that is true for al the articles I handle. I'm patched to 7.0.5, and no, exporting to idml doesn't fix the problem.

macinbytes May 12, 2011 10:12 AM (in response to confused_again)Is kerning/tracking set to 0/Auto? maybe you have some sort of funked up tracking set and indesign is generating the type erroneously due to funny appearance.

Do you know something the rest of us don't? The last public patch was 7.0.4

As I said, I don't do the InCopy and tracking stuff, so I don't know much about it (Bob, are you out there?). Are the changes accepted? Is that even an option?

P Spier May 12, 2011 10:19 AM (in response to confused_again)Any difference if you change the font?

7. Re: Very strange anomaly in PDFs generated from InDesign CS5
confused_again May 12, 2011 10:31 AM (in response to P Spier)Kerning and tracking is standard as per all the articles passing through the system. Default tracking for the para style is -5, this text was set at -10.
Any changes in InCopy have been accepted, but, again, that is all part of our standard workflow and this anomaly has never been seen before.
Changing the font does fix it - but then that is forcing the text to reflow (in the same way as changing the column widths), so I'm unsure what conclusions to draw from that.
Oh, and 7.0.5 is a "rapid release" beta patch....

John Hawkinson May 12, 2011 12:26 PM (in response to confused_again)Try unzipping the IDML and inspecting the text of the story in that area. Or you can shortcut that process by exporting the frame in question as a snippet.
It should be pretty clear how to find the affected portion of the story, and hopefully that'll make the problem obvious.
If you're talking about rapid releases, you need to identify them by the build number, not just the triple number (7.0.5), because the Rapid Releases don't bump the version number. My understanding is that the two 7.0.5 RRs released to date (562 and 563) fixed like 3 very minor specialized bugs over 7.04/553.

9. Re: Very strange anomaly in PDFs generated from InDesign CS5
[Jongware] May 12, 2011 3:18 PM (in response to confused_again)Yup, seen that, and reported it to Adobe as well. In my case, it appeared at some language changes in plain text (but not all of them, of course). That was, if memory serves, in CS3. Since then I've seen it pop up here at the forum as well, but hey, we can't search for it can we?
Toggling the Tagged PDF status to "its other state" while exporting may help. Again, if memory serves, that worked the last time.

John Hawkinson May 12, 2011 3:23 PM (in response to [Jongware])Ah, language changes.
Jongware, the power of google will help you search!
What did an INX export of the CS3 documents show?

11. Re: Very strange anomaly in PDFs generated from InDesign CS5
[Jongware] May 12, 2011 3:33 PM (in response to John Hawkinson)I didn't need to export to INX. This happened to random lines of text, and checking in Acrobat Pro revealed the text strings were doubled.
Nice one: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3299371 mentions this problem and the OP could solve it himself. Doesn't mention how tho'
(No use in further googling without any more to go from -- this was one of "about 37,500 results" )

12. Re: Very strange anomaly in PDFs generated from InDesign CS5
confused_again May 13, 2011 5:37 AM (in response to [Jongware])So, it seems that some of the text was in English UK and some in English USA. That didn't reflect the portion of text that got doubled up, but switching to one language did fix it. Very strange.
