I have created some pdf files with pdffactory and the italicized words all show up in bold type on my iPad2. They are not in bold type when looked at with Adobe Acrobat or Nitro Reader on my PC. Is this to be expected? How can I change that?
Sit tight and someone will be along who can answer your question, in the meantime:
The IPad Forum is a community of members from all walks of life and from all over the world coming together to share our experiences and to help each other learn about this wonderful piece of technology the Ipad. There is a wealth of information already here in the many threads we have so doing some searches will answer most of the questions you have. If then you cannot find the answer you are seeking then by all means post your question. There are many friendly and informed members here only too willing to help you.
If the iPad does not support the font you used in PDFFactory then it will substitute what it thinks is the closest match. If for some reason that font does not support italics, or there is a mismatch, it might cause this.
Thats my best guess, and that's all I can do since I don't' have the program to play with.
