Single Quote character being translated as copywright character in PDF field

asked on January 23, 2014

I have a workflow that queries another database and pulls in text to both a metadata field and a text field in a PDF form. When a single quote / apostrophe (') character is in the database, the metadata field appears as it should, but the apostrophe in the PDF form turns into the copywright character (©).

 

Even stranger, if I click into the PDF field to edit the text, the text appears like it should (with the apostrophe character).

 

Example:

View PDF field: Children©s

Click to Edit PDF field: Children's

 

Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? Does it have to do with the encoding options for the field?

Is it a straight quote (') or a smart quote (‘)? It's probably down to the fonts in the PDF to how it gets displayed, not something we can control
