    Just One think on the highlighter, on the old edge, the highlighter follow (I think) same metadata, and it's good, but when someone insert something of strange in the PDF it want work well (like same formula with latex and after export), could you make it more careful at this point. I don't know, could you see the character we see instead of same metadata?
    Thanks

      CrisMon-01 If I understand this correctly you are finding it difficult to highlight some text which has special characters etc.? This could be a file specific problem. Can you DM that to me so that we can have a look?
