TXT TO PDF: Incorrect Space Interpretation

Post by abcjme »

I check the hex coding of my txt files to make sure that spaces and tabs are in the correct spots to be in good alignment in all formats: csv, pdf, and txt. However, PDF-Tools screws up the alignment, despite using a monospaced font, setting all pt the same, and setting the spacing to exact. For comparison, I opened my txt file in Chrome, set it to print, and saved as pdf. Chrome interprets the spaces and tabs exactly, and so the alignment is maintained.

PDF-Tools, v. 7.0, Build 326.1.

Hello abcjme,

I've managed to reproduce the behaviour you report, so I am now checking with our devs to see why this is happening!
We will post again as soon as we have further news.

Regards,
Stefan
