   Is it just a quirk of my system (I’m viewing it with Preview in Mac OS 10.3.9), or are other people seeing this too? The text on some pages is cut off by a nearby image. The worst place I’ve noticed so far is page 52, where the whole article is significantly cut off on the right — the first line, for example, appears to end after “these da”.

I can copy the text and paste it somewhere else for reading (which I will do, because I don’t understand Bionicle at all and I’m hoping this will shed some light on it). But I’m curious whether this is a problem in production, or a problem with my Acrobat reader.

I think it’s a quirk, as I am using Acrobat Reader and am not having a problem reading the file. Also, since you can copy the text, that indicates something is amiss, because a user shouldn’t be able to do that at all.

Joe, I believe you have to set an option when you create the PDF to disallow copy/paste. I’m viewing the security options on my copy and it says “Content copying or extraction: allowed”. And yes, I can copy text.

(...) (snip) (...) Hey, that's neat, but not intentional. I exported directly from InDesign to PDF, and I didn't go through all the settings...oops. Thanks for the explanation! Joe (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)
