Hello,

I currently have EO.Pdf.Dll version 3.0.76.2 installed on my machine, and am developing against it with Visual Studio (both 2005 and 2010).

We have code to create a .PDF file, a section of which is bolded and underlined. When I run the app in the IDE, that part gets formatted correctly, with the underline going across the entire header, including any spaces between words. Also, the underline is a couple of pixels below the letters, as it should be.

However, when I create an .MSI for the app, and then install in on my machine, we see odd behavior. This header section is bolded, but the underline does not show up for any spaces between words. The underline is dropped down a couple of pixels.

The funny thing is that you never put out a version that displays this behavior. The version that dropped the underline down below the letters (instead of being on the first pixel below, so there was no space between the two) also included the underline covering the spaces between words.

I'm not sure how we are seeing behavior of two different DLLs at the same time, or why it only happens with the installed version of the app, and not when run in the IDE. I have uninstalled all previous versions, and also searched for and removed any lingering older EO.PDF.DLL files, and then reinstalled the latest version, but the results persist.

Any ideas on why this is happening? Could there be something in the GAC that needs to be cleaned out? I can send you the PDF files, or even the application .MSI so you can see for yourself.

Thanks,

That's the weird issue. I see the position correctly, but the spaces between words are not underlined. Not sure how I can be seeing behavior from two different versions of the DLL.
