I have seen many instances in the official manual available here:

 

http://www.bendixking.com/HWL/media/Pilot-Guides/006-08773-0000_1.pdf

 

where during instructions to press a particular button, a dark rectangle is used to represent the button to be pressed. For example:

The phenomenon first occurs in the manual on page II (roman numeral two), first column, item 2 in the list and then occurs regularly. It is very confusing to tell what button(s) the manual is talking about using this notation and I have a feeling multiple button types are blackened over so it's not the same button that they mean every time. Has anyone else faced this issue and managed to solve or understand it?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I suspect it is something in your installation... I have just looked at the same PDF and have not found any such behaviour. Thus, I can say with certainty that it is not the notation in the manual.

 

In "Document Properties -> Fonts" I see that the document contains a number of fonts called "Buttonfont (Embedded Subset)"; maybe your installation can/does not display those correctly? Do you use an official Adobe Reader program?

 

I am not sure how/if you can change this behaviour, but at least you can be sure it is not the document itself which is at fault...

 

Hope you find a way out of your problem!

Hans, thank you for your help and research efforts. Did you download your document from the exact same link I provided?

I am asking because I have this issue whether I am looking at the document on my pc, Android, iPad, using different Pdf viewers etc..

Upon further research, it seems the document shows up correctly only  in Adobe's pdf reader. All the other readers I tried across various devices still saw it the faulty way. Very strange but at least I can read it now. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction Hans.
