2 faults/bugs in v8 (were not in v7)

[PeteA]

I've discussed these in the Designer thread but 2 things
1. Arrows do not export to pdf - just as lines
2. Text returns at top of text box are not recognised in pdf.

Both pdf issues. I'm going back to v7 as these issues are costing me a lot of time

[1] I agree that in spite of simple workarounds, this is a backwards step.

[2] I cannot repeat this. I have tried numerous installed fonts and at no time are the hard or soft returns in a text area or text column ignored when exporting to PDF.

and to clarify - I think point 2 is fixed in the update, but the update creates the arrow problem.

[steve.ledger]

OK, so point 2 is invalid then?

Also, interestingly the arrows issue disappears when printing to a virtual PDF printer (I used CutePDF)
So rather than Ctrl+E and choose PDF in Xara, I used Ctrl+P and chose CutePDF.

i guess so - hard to say for sure as I'm on the initial release. My disk arrived today though - I'm going to install that on a different pc and see what happens

OK, be interested in your findings.
BTW, is there any reason you haven't been running the upates in the meantime?
