Hello.
I've noticed this with a seemingly large number of pdf files. I wonder
if it has something to do with the "document processing" for
accessibility feature? Essentially what appears to happen is that the
text of a document turns "vertical", so that each line contains a
single word, and using the down arrow appears to move the cursor one
word at a time. If I convert the document to a text file, it ends up
looking the same way...words just seem to cascade down the page in
single file rather than displaying in the standard and sensible
horizotnal way. Could somebody explain why this irritating phenomenon
is taking place? I do not believe for a second that this is the actual
visual appearance of these documents. Is there an easy fix for this?
Surely others have encountered this too?
Thanks.
