We use Arbortext Editor version 5.3 and Arbortext Publishing Engine version 5.3 to publish PDF output from DITA source content. Straight single quotes that appear in <codeblock> tags in the DITA task topic render fine in the output PDF. The issue occurs when a user copies the code from the PDF to a text editor such as Notepad. The straight single quotes appear as curly single quotes in the text editor.
We use Arbortext Editor with Styler to manage the PDF stylesheet. I have tinkered with multiple settings and I cannot resolve the issue. Since the straight single quotes render fine in the PDF, maybe it is not a publishing issue. If I understand correctly, there are multiple layers to a PDF file. Maybe it is an Adobe font issue that needs to be resolved?
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks!
