In IFS 7.5 when trying to copy text from some pdf generated, we only get qustionmark or squares insted of the text. Like this:
When checking the document properties there is embedded fonts Arial and Arial Bold, but with a number before. 1747Ec416Arial and 1748Ec41eArial,Bold.
(Our Suppliers want to copy out order no)
Does anybody know it this is possible to fix?

Hi
Which SP version are you in? This is a known limitation in APP 7.5 before SP7. According to RnD information
IFS uses an Apache open source Formatting Objects renderer/processor (FOP) to generate the PDF documents. There is a limitation in FOP due to the particular font encoding type (CDI) used in the reporting framework, where it prevents a user from searching or copying text in a PDF generated through FOP for a Report Designer layout.
However this has been fixed in a Functional Enhancement group patch in APP 7.5 SP7, hence it cannot be taken as a single patch.
If you need more information regarding the patch or any workarounds available, you may open a case.
