Unable to create text anchor from text with an apostrophe in it.
>>>Anytime I create a text anchor out of a piece of copy with an apostrophe in it (ex. What's New) and use it as the destination for a button or hyperlink, the interactive PDF does not redirect to the anchor. My workaround has been to select everything but the word with the apostrophe in it, but I would love to see this fixed in the next version.

Text box disappears when text converted to outlines
>>>Many sign printers require that all text is converted to outlines. When I do, any text box that has a colour defined disappears. I need to duplicate the box first and delete the text in the underlying box, then convert the above text to outlines. A bit of an arduous process.
>>This shouldn't happen – it's been an issue for years.
>>Can you please change it so that converting text to outlines doesn't alter the graphics – that is, the coloured and/or stroked text box remains?
>>Thanks!

For example, deleting an unwanted space is a frequent cause of this glitch. So far I've found 2 ways of making the text return to it's correct position and removing the blank:
