    Mark, This is a bug within 2017 and Adobe are apparently working on a fix. The workaround for now is to turn off “Show Adornment on Text Selection/Text Frame for more Type controls” under Advanced Type in the Preferences. This certainly worked for me, as I was having the same problem, as it would seem were many others on the Adobe forum.

    Thanks David,

    Did try PDF2ID a few years ago, but the resulting clean up wasn’t worth the effort. Problem I have is my customer won’t reset the files from scratch, which is what’s really needed.

    Thanks again for your help, at least the resulting file is cleaner than before now I’m using your method.

    Regards,

    Boyd

    Hi David,

    Sorry, I didn’t check the output file closely enough, you’re right, the hidden content has been removed, however, it still leaves some issues within the file which is why I thought the hidden content was still there.

    What’s happening is when you select the text of the new pdf in Acrobat, it doesn’t select in the correct order, for example if you select the text in the supplied file and copy and paste it to another application (InDesign or Word for example), you will see the the textual order has changed. Note that I have numbered the paragraphs to more easily show the issue.

    The file is at the following: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ut21kuco9lfcefr/Test%20file%2002.pdf

    Hi David,

    I did try printing to postscript using the following methods after creating a generic postscript printer:

    From InDesign – Via the print menu, selecting postscript file, device-independent;

    From Acrobat – Via the print menu, (a little more tricky) selecting printer at the bottom of the print dialogue and after moving through a few menus, finally printing to postscript file.

    Then I ran both files through Distiller.

    Both of these methods create perfect pdf files, but have left the hidden unwanted content in the new pdf. If you drag the Section tool through the text, it picks up the hidden text as well as the current text, which, of course, isn’t good.

    If the steps I’m using are wrong, I’d appreciate it if you would write up the steps you feel would work.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately neither of them worked, looks like my customer is going to have to live with the issue until Adobe give us an option to remove any hidden content.

    Ah well, one can dream.

    Regards,

    Boyd

    Hi,

    I'm new to grep myself, but I think this will work:

    Find:

    (d+:d+am) (d+:d+pm)

    Change to:

    $1 ~= $2

    Don't forget to try it out a few times before committing the change to a live document.

    I've experienced the same thing, doesn't seem to be any obvious reason, and I've ensured tracked changes have been accepted before importing the file.

    One of the first things I do now is check the end of the imported file to try to ensure that the moved text is returned to its correct position in the document before I begin the layout proper.

    I had a look at this and came up with the same results as Docbud, although I tend to work in millimeters.

    The settings were as follows:

    Alignment: Right

    Left indent: 5 mm

    First line indent: -0.76

    Tab position: empty

    Hope that helps. Laugh

    Hi Mikizil,

    Didn't realize this was going to be a PC only script Cry. Any plans to tweak it for a Mac at some stage?
