...with a LiveCycle Designer generated PDF via the shareware tool PDFTK. Which is fine to date but have come across something I am not familiar with.

I'd like to include Hard spaces as as part of my formatting in my XML to help align elements within it. "Unicode=160;" does not seem to be constant enough in width terms. In other words EN spaces and EM spaces etc., as well as XML styles <p style="margin-Left:2EM;text-Indent:-2EM>.

BUT the xmlns name space seems to be 1999 which is before html4 (which has the code for EN ("Unicode=8194;") & EM ("Unicode=8195;") spaces i.e. xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

I have 2 questions:-

1 Is there a more update to date namespace that is generally accepted and will work with PDFTK?

2 Is there another way to include Hard Spaces in XML code?

As you can see I am a bit of a novice in anything but VDS, but I am trying!

I'd like to help, but what you asked completely went over my head!

Hiya,

Off the top of my head I would say the unicode is consistent, but your font throughout the document is not. Change the font to one standard for precise spacing, then switch it back.

<constant font><new font for paragraph>
