Extraneous characters introduced into DBMemo field when printing to PDF

edited March 2009 in General
Hello,

Using ReportBuilder 11.03 Enterprise with Delphi 2007.

I have a DBMemo field in a subreport set to stretch. If I generate a report to PDF, when a parenthesis is near the end of a line, some extra characters are printed that are not in the text.
These characters are TjT*

That is a lower case J between the T's

This happens only when a right parenthesis is at the end of the line.

Additionally the line does not break like it should. I suspect something is happening to CR LF characters.

I am creating a PDF by setting DeviceType to dtPDF and OpenPDFFile to true.

If I send the same report and report content to a standard report screen viewer, the report prints as expected without these extra characters.

Thanks for help with this.

    should get it fixed quickly.
