When I publish to PDF small letters, like i, are rendered as rectangles. Any idea on how I can correct this?
Thanks for any help

Ronny, you don't need to convert to curves the entire document before to Publish to PDF, there's an option to convert all text to curves when Publish to PDF (under the Objects tab). Then, you don't need to save a copy neither.

Nope Ariel, I'm not. ;-).
"Converting the text to curves inside Draw before publishing to PDF prevents the "I" letters from looking fat in the PDF, even if "Enhance thin lines" is enabled."I am not saying we must convert to curves in Draw before publishing, but if we do it fixes the "Enhance thin lines" issue.
We have three options:
1. We do not convert inside Draw and publish without checking "Export all text as curves". This will leave text as text and everything will be fine, except when we don't want to embed fonts into the PDF.
2. We do not convert inside Draw and publish with the option to "Export all text as curves" enabled. Text will be converted on export, but a side effect is that some letters will be "fat" due to the Acrobat setting to "Enhance thin lines". There is nothing wrong with the PDF but since many users don't know about this setting, they think there is. I personally avoid option 2 because of that.
3. We convert the text inside Draw and then publish with or without checking "Export all text as curves". Text will appear in as intended in Acrobat, no matter if "Enhance thin lines" is enabled or not. This is the option I prefer, to keep file size down and prevent people from thinking something is wrong. For documents with lots of text I sometimes keep text as text.
