PDF format of OPS 3.2 manual
Posted: Tue Jan 23, 2018 8:17 am
Dear all
We're having some problems with the OPS 3.2 manual as available in PDF format on http://www.epo.org/searching-for-patent ... html#tab-3.
Depending on how the document is accessed, it's displayed either perfectly normal or in a strangely encoded way. In the latter case:
Any ideas...???
We're having some problems with the OPS 3.2 manual as available in PDF format on http://www.epo.org/searching-for-patent ... html#tab-3.
Depending on how the document is accessed, it's displayed either perfectly normal or in a strangely encoded way. In the latter case:
- One cannot use Adobe's search function (which then finds zillions of hits for each keyword entered)
- It seems impossible to mark any text using the mouse. Instead of marking continuous text, it seems like a few characters were marked with a few dropped in between
- Copy-pasting the so-marked passage into Windows's Notepad creates an endless listing of multiple copies of the text, but copy-pasting to WinWord works fine
- Adobe browser plugin with Firefox
- Adobe browser plugin with Edge
- Adobe browser plugin with Internet Explorer
- Adobe Reader with locally stored copy of the file
- Adobe Acrobat with locally stored copy of the file
Any ideas...???
