jsunbeam Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'm using Accordance on a Mac and am trying to save the GNT28 or NA28 text as a PDF, but it always changes the alignment of the text so that it's centered. I would like to keep it left justified. Is it possible to do that? I don't know why it would center the text automatically. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I haven't noticed this before, and it's true in b1 as well. With GNT28-T and NA28-T, but not UBS4-T, NA27-T or GNT-T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I can't repro. this on Mac. I haven't tried windows yet. What I'm doing is selecting some text and doing print selection and then selecting the PDF option. Is that what you are doing ? Or something else ? thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsunbeam Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Actually, I am typing in a range (e.g. John 1-10) then clicking print, save as PDF. The PDF comes out center aligned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Just tried that. Here's a screenshot of it from the Previewer looking at the PDF. I'm guessing yours does not look like this. Thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsunbeam Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Sadly, mine does not look like that. It works fine with English text, oddly enough, but just not with Greek. I would show you an image of my PDF, but I can't figure out how to upload it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Ah ok - so let's compare some basic stuff for sanity : I'm running OSX 10.9.3 and Acc 10.4.3.2. To upload images there should be an Attach Files button at the bottom of the post editor. If its not there make sure you click on More Reply Options. If that doesn't work I vaguely recall something about there being a minimum number of posts required before you can submit attachments. But I could be misremembering. If I'm not its 10 posts. Finally use JPG. Thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsunbeam Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks! I've attached some images. I'm using OS X 10.9.2 and Accordance 10.4.3.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Ok now its my turn - how did you do that ? It's cool that it can be done. Hmmm.... ok so I'm suspecting its something to do with the configuration of the text display - something that has this side affect rather than being obvious. I tried a few option but I could not get what you get. I do not have NA28 so I'm using GNT-28 which you said also does this. OK repro'd it. The problem is in the Set Text Pane Display. If I set Show As : to Paragraphs I get centred output in PDF. I am now trying to work out how to turn it off again. It appears to be sticky. Oooops !

jsunbeam Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Haha. Believe me, I am not trying to do it. Yes, the GNT-28 gives me the same result. Hey! I just randomly fixed it! I started playing around with the Set Text Pane Display options as you mentioned. It was originally set to paragraphs, but I switched it to verses and the PDF showed a left alignment. Then I switched it back to paragraphs, and lo and behold! It now prints with a left alignment. I'm sure it's a glitch, but it works for me for now. Thanks for helping me troubleshoot! Were you able to turn it off again on your end? I hope I didn't permanently mess up your settings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Ok so I have not so far unstuck it. Oh well. It doesn't bother me much as I don't use that feature, but there is a bug here. Either a bug in the side affect, or a bug in that it's a really obscure UI feature that controls this. Hopefully someone at Oaktree can try to locate the issue in a dev environment.

Λύχνις Δαν Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Ok this is interesting. I don't have issues with GNT-TIS either. I have now got a PDF (of GNT28) where it switches from left-justified to centered and back at different points. It looks like its related to the paragraph breaks in some way. It looks like centered alignment starts where the paragraph break is within a verse. If it conincides with a verse its ok. Matt 1 shows this behaviour, when using Paragraphs with Space. Seems to vary with book - acts and john are badly affected - ie. centered in PDF, while matt is only partially so. I cannot get further really in debugging this without code and a debugger. What's really odd is that I don't believe there is any setting anywhere for changing the justification. There is in user notes and tools, but not that I know of in texts. Hmmm.... Anyhow, back to vocab. ThxD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsunbeam Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hmm. Is there someone we should notify about this bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Ken is on the Acc team and others watch this forum. This topic ought to be moved to Bug Swatters but I don't have the privs. One of them could do it. The alternative is to open a Bug Swatters post on this and point to this topic from the new one. You can do that if you like. I'm hoping they'll notice and move it for us Thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 It's the verse 0 title that seems to set the entire text to center-aligned. I don't think it's the paragraphs at all. If you pull up Jn 1:0-10 it happens every time. I will move it to bug reports, and notify the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsunbeam Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 I'd like to rehash this topic, because I am trying to print the NA28 text but it is once again center justifying everything. I have set my text range to 1 John 1-5. I haven't started with verse 0. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have also upgraded to Accordance 11.

Just for fun I just checked this with your range (1 John 1-5)and it does the same for me; center aligned. I'm running Accordance 11 and Yosemite 10.10.2. But I also did the range that was referred to previously; (John 1-10) and it aligned fine once I flipped the view to verses and back to paragraphs with space.

The flipping didn’t work for me, I had to exclude v0 from the range by specifying 1:1 as the first verse. Then it previewed perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsunbeam Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Well, it is now almost 2 years since I've discovered this bug. I decided to upgrade my Accordance software to the latest version (11.2.3) to see if the bug had been dealt with. Nope. Still the same issue. There is a workaround that is somewhat tedious--you have to input an exact reference range including verse numbers in order for PDFs to save left-justified. Any idea when Accordance will decide to fix this very simple issue? Edited August 1, 2016 by jsunbeam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Jenney Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Interesting little bug you've identified here! I don't recall seeing your post, but I trust our official bug-quashers will address it soon. Meanwhile, copying and pasting the passage into MS Word, then saving it as a PDF works quite well.
