Answer 1

Hi Jim,

On behalf of rocaw, I tried to check the file that you have sent through private message and I do not get the blinking cursor issue that you encounter. Can you send us a video of how you create and view the file on your end? Kindly send it through private message to protect any private information that you may capture.

I am looking forward to your response.

Hi Bob,

I used by cell phone to record process of saving a word file to pdf

Word file showed no blinking cursor but pdf does

Word file contained a pasted image. If one clicks on image a blinking cursor appears. Somehow this hidden blinking cursor is being transported to pdf.

I established a OneDrive folder shared folder named: Blinking cursor

File name: pdf blinking cursor.mp4 is shared

Please reply if not seen, and I will try again

thank you

Jim
