Ligature issues when saving as pdf

    Hi,

    I have several forms hosted on my website and when we receive a submission we use Safari or Chrome to save it as a pdf.

    When we try to copy from such a pdf it is unable to paste "fi" or "ff" properly. From my limited knowledge I assume this has something to do with ligatures...?

    I tried to send an email from gmail to our mailbox and save that as a pdf, same way as we save the jotform submissions and it did not cause any issues. "fi" and "ff" came through just fine when trying to copy and paste from gmail - save to PDF.

    So this leads me to believe that there is something wrong in the jotform submissions that causes ligature problems.

    I do not wish to include a pdf attachment to work around this issue as the formatting of the pdfs are less than desirable.

    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thank you

    -silver

    If my understanding of the issue is correct, I think you were referring to the Submission PDF report.

    Were you trying to customize the submission PDF report?
