Figure-captions have spoiled appearance in PDF export

Post by JohnWasilewski »

TextMaker Professional 2021 (rev S1040.1126) 64bit

When I export a document to PDF, TextMaker is spoiling the appearance of some, but not all, of my captions to figures.
I am uploading specimen documents to illustrate this. Please see in my two emails 12-12-2021 15:14+15:15, these two documents:
1. FULL 66pg RPT .docx
2. FULL 66pg RPT, exported all.PDF

If you look at the five figures I have included in the document, you will see the following:
Figure no./Numbered page/Physical page/Caption appearance in the PDF
1./1./7./Correct as in the DOCX.
2./2./8/Correct as in the DOCX.
3./12./18./Spoiled.
4./13./19./Spoiled.
5./13./19./Spoiled.

In the Spoiled captions, two bad things have happened:
Formatting is all lost
A dark purple background has appeared.

This problem may well be related to a similar one I have reported separately, with the topic title. 'All text-box formatting broken in PDF export'.

Thanks for reporting this problem. I was able to reproduce it and forwarded the details to our developer team.

We have checked the files and found that the problem is the text box on page 18 and 19 contains embedded text object inside. It is exported as a form field with a scrollbar. The selection color is some light blue and the whole text is selected by default.

To avoid this situation, please uncheck the "Create interactive form" checkbox when exporting to PDF format. Please refer to the attached screenshot.
