Copy & Paste Character Problem with Type3 Embedding after upgrade from 4.60 to 4.77

Hello

After upgrading from wPDF version 4.60 to 4.77 we now have a problem with copy & pasting content from a wPDF created PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Reader. With version 4.60 the text is correctly copied into the clipboard. But with version 4.77 the clipboard contains only cryptic characters. With other PDF readers (e.g. the one embedded in Chrome) everything seems to be fine. This problem can be reproduced with the WPDFDemo.exe application from your installation.

We use Type3 font embedding because the size of the generated PDFs is crucial for us. So we cannot simply use another font mode.

Can you please help us keep the existing fixes from version 4.77 and not go back to version 4.60?

Greetings,

Remo

Those characters use a ToUnicode character map which has to be interpreted correctly.

When looking at the map I cannot see a problem. You can mail me your sample files and I check what I can do.

I found the problem. It will be fixed.

Thanks for the quick reaction time! Do you know in which time frame we can expect a new version?
