When Chinese character can't be sought after flattened? SOLVED

[balmydrizzle]

I first use comment to edit a rule book file for translating from English to Traditional Chinese. When I finished and flatten comments, then save as another pdf file. I find many Chinese characters becomes other looks-alike Chinese characters. This cause a problem when I use pdf reader to read this flattrn version, I can't do text search. For example, When I type in comment previously is '木' (unicode = E6 9C A8), but in flattern verison, it becomes(converted by X-Change Editor) '⽊' (unicode = E2 BD 8A), which has different charscter code. Why flattern changes the character code? You can see this attached image: Though these two Chinese characters (this chinese character meaning WOOD) looks similar but they have different height.

I find the problem comes from Sumatra PDF reader. I can search well in Foxit Reader but not in Sumatra PDF reader. Do you possibly know why?

Hello balmydrizzle,

I presume you are using our Editor to modify the file and flatten the comments!
Can you please check and make sure that you are doing so in build 364 of the Editor?
If the issue still happens with the current latest build - can you please share with us a sample of the file with the comments NOT flattened in it - and then a flattened copy.

Also - it seems like the issue is with a specific third party software that might not be handling CJK fonts properly in general.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi, Stefan,

Thanks for reply. However, never mind. I'll just use Foxit PDF reader to do searching. In the mean time, most usrs who read the translated rule book wlll just browse them.

Thanks for service again.

Stay Safe!
