PDF rendering on Macs a little buggy

[neverminding]

I know this is probably at the bottom of your "I give a crap"-list, but I just thought I would point it out.

Viewing Paizo PDFs on a Mac (using Preview or any app that uses Core services) is a little quirky. The most common problem I've come across is missing letters (usually capital "A"), but it's remedied by opening the PDF in an Adobe product (bleh).

Oh thanks! I had searched the forums before posting. Should have looked at the FAQ.

I'm going to file an additional bug report to Apple for this (since it also applies to some development work I do).

Cheers!

Thanks! If it helps, we suspect the specific problem is a failure to render glyphs with GID=0.

I have similar rendering problems with some other PDFs in Preview. For those, I just use Adobe. Such is the life of a Mac user.
