Superscript format lost when converting to pdf

Hi,

I have a document title that has the character =AE in=20
superscript format. I have then inserted this title as=20
fields throughout my long document. I face two problems:

1. The inserted field does not take the superscript format=20
of =AE, and instead makes it regular sized. To workaround=20
this, I manually replaced all the occurances of =AE to=20
superscript.

2. However, even after doing that, when i convert the=20
document to pdf, the result i get is a regular sized =AE=20
with a capital P on either side. It looks like this:
P=AEP

If any of you have faced this problem, i would truly=20
appreciate your inputs.

TIA,

Abigail

Use [ALT]0153 to input a trademark symbol, and [ALT]0174 to
produce a registered trademark symbol. Other symbols may
be produced with [ALT]character code. This will input
the correct superscripted character without using superscript.=20

I think you'll find that the symbol Abigail used in her post *is* character
0174 (or 00AE Unicode). Many users prefer it even more inconspicuous,
especially if applied to display-size type.

Hi,

I have a document title that has the character ® in
superscript format. I have then inserted this title as
fields throughout my long document. I face two problems:

1. The inserted field does not take the superscript format
of ®, and instead makes it regular sized. To workaround
this, I manually replaced all the occurances of ® to
superscript.

2. However, even after doing that, when i convert the
document to pdf, the result i get is a regular sized ®
with a capital P on either side. It looks like this:
P®P

If any of you have faced this problem, i would truly
appreciate your inputs.

TIA,

Abigail

And it looks small & supersctipted in some fonts, and large & not
superscripted in others.

I'd try to live with the decision made by the font designer.

Re why superscript formatting is lost when converting to PDF, I have no
idea.
As a work-around, you could try if choosing a smaller font size and raising
the symbol with "Format Font Character spacing" works.

A font substitution during the process might as well be the candidate here.

Hi Bob,

What confuses me is that it turns into P®P. I don't know enough about
PostScript to guess where the "P"s are coming from, but I don't think from
Word. Looks more like a bug in the Adobe "printer" driver for PDFs.

Greetings,
Klaus

I'd take it to comp.text.pdf or a PS related group. Just in case the OP
is still lurking ... ;-)

What font are you using?

Hi,

I'm using Arial font. As mentioned in my initial post, the problem seems to be due to a combination of two factors, the styleref field that I am using and the ® character.

Still haven't found any solution. As a temporary workaround I am de-linking all the fields and manually making the ® superscript, which gives me the intended result for the time-being. However, I'm going the purpose for which the fields are used is lost, as I will have to do a lot of manual work for future releases.

Hope one of you can help me out.

Thanks and regards,
Abigail

I have a document title that has the character ® in
superscript format. I have then inserted this title as
fields throughout my long document. I face two problems:

I don't think this was ever addressed: What happens if you do NOT use a
field; if you just type it into regular text?

Also, how are you creating your PDF?
