Titles in PDF #10

Closed Devamitta closed 2 years ago

Devamitta commented 2 years ago

When I open PDF, generated by this software, and try to copy any name of the chant: for example page 179 Ratanattay’ānubhā v’ādi-gātha, it is copy with spaces after long ā : "Ratanattay’ā nubhā v’ā di-gā tha". That's why it is not really searchable PDF. Is it possible to avoid this? Then people can use this PDF more effectively.

I was able to search "Ratanattay’ānubhāv’ādi-gāthā" and find the title no problem.

Though there is an issue with other titles which have characters substituted. For example, if you copy "Saraṇa-gamana-pāṭho" you'll actually get "Sara�a-gamana-pāṫho". Not sure how to go about fixing this. A simple solution is to use the sidebar ToC.

looks like it depends on software which you are using. Android Xodo Docs and Linux Xreader see the spaces after ā.
