Symbols for Line break and Space

Post by BMT216A »

Dear Tracker-Team,

Acrobat (Reader) show symbols for Line break and Space (Blank) if I add them with "Insert Text"-Tool (please see screenshots). This is very helpful if line breaks or blanks should be added in existing paragraphs (as a correction instruction for a typesetter). We didn't find this feature in PDF-XChange or did we overlook something?

Thank you!

Best regards!

Hello BMT216A,

I could not find a way to turn such a feature on in Adobe's products, and we do not seem to have it in our Editor either.

Can I please ask for an actual PDF sample file, and where that is turned on in Adobe so that I can run some more tests here on our end?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
sure, please see attachment. It is very simple. You use tool "insert Text" and if you enter a line break (return) or a space in the editing pane, Acrobat visualizes this with the symbol nearby the text and the insert mark, because it is difficult to recognize it in the editing pane itself.

Hello BMT216A,

Ahh - so those "space" and "newline" are part of the "inser text" symbols.
No - we certainly do not have such a feature at the moment, however I will check with our devs if this is something they might consider adding in the future.

Kind regards,
Stefan
