FYI, following up on a tip I saw on this thread https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1481428 I decided to try taking OUT my OTF font. I went to the stylesheet and changed "body" font from Open Sans to Times New Roman (ugly, but good for a test). Suddenly the problem with deleting pages from the resulting ...

Hopefully it's not too late for a reply on this thread.

I'm having the same issue with Flare 11. Tagged PDFs have an error in them when I try to further manipulate the PDF in Acrobat.

Specifically, I'm trying to delete some pages in Acrobat and I get the error "An incorrect structure was found in ...

Thanks for confirming that I'm not missing something Mike.

This seems like an unfortunate oversight in the system.

I have previously only used Flare to create PDF outputs, but now with top nav in Flare 11, I'm just about ready to launch our new online help! I'm testing with uploading to our sftp server to understand how well it works for automating publishing.

I'm new to publishing this way with Flare, and I ...

Thanks! Understood re the xref text. :)

I'm actually not able to edit that space in any way from the XML editor (i.e. on the individual topic page). It doesn't appear and I can't seem to delete it from there. I'll need to go look at each topic and manually erase the space from within the text ...

Thanks, that's a really good tip. I thought it might be the key, because at one point we did have breaks in our headings. I took a look, and there were no breaks.

But, really (really) strangely, that showed me the issue. There is a space before the heading text in some of the topics!

It must be a ...

Thanks for the reply!

Those two are conditional. Here is the text view:

I am creating PDF targets for my manuals. (Currently this is my only output type.) I notice that bulleted lists are appearing oddly with the text jagged instead of in a single line, as though some of the items have a space before them.

I've checked the source and there ...

FYI - Today, after the .NET update I haven't experienced any further instances of this issue.

Thanks again Rob!

Thanks Rob!

I've installed .NET 4.5.1. I will report back tomorrow to let folks know if that resolved the issue for me!

I tried various buttons on the ribbon and local topic toolbar after the last lockup without success.

In case it makes a difference, I'm on Windows 7, 64-bit.

Ooh, thanks for the tip - I'll try that next time.

I'm pretty sure that I tried making something a bulleted list and that didn't fix it - but I'll try to find ones that do!

I've only recently started using Flare, but in the last month or so I never ran across this problem with Flare 9, but run across it multiple times per day with Flare 10.

My keyboard stops typing in Flare.

Sorry for the over-use of colour and italics there, but this is really very frustrating.
