Hi:
OOo 3.2.1 on OSX 10.6.3.
I have discovered what appears to be a problem when exporting to PDF. The text
I am exporting includes some phrases in pinyin (Mandarin expressed as accented
roman characters). Some of these come out well, others are completely garbled.
Who would want to know? And is it possible that I have missed some setting
for PDF export?
TIA

How is the pinyin set up? Are the characters defined as chinese for the
spell-checker.
Cut and paste from an online dictionary. The characters are not defined as
chinese for the spell-checker, since they're not chinese characters. They have
been added to my project dictionary so the spell-checker doesn't mark them.
I have been trying to check my adobe Acrobat as I needed to display some
chinese characters. I needed the asian Font Pack to be installed in the Adobe
Reader.
I use Mac Preview to view the PDF file, not Adobe Acrobat Reader.
An example of what I'm getting: zhìxie and zàijiàn come over fine, but Nǐhǎo comes
over as N␣ h ␣,o and Zhèngshān xiǎozhǒng comes over as Zhèngsh ␣n xi ␣ozh ␣,ngI (in
this case the I at the end was overwritten by the g and the intervening quotation
marks, " were lost. It appears to be non-roman accents which mess things up.
An ordinary grave or acute is no problem.

The bottom line is that you know what you could see on the OpenOffice
document and you know what is missing when you view it in Mac Preview.
However you do not know if the problem is in the conversion from OOo to
pdf or the viewing of the document in Mac Preview.
I suggest trying again with another pdf reader and see what the results
are. I do not know how to examine the pdf file directly without a reader
getting in the way. Maybe someone else can suggest one.
Thanks
Rob
