Q. Why do I get a Request Denied error when creating a PDF?

A. Pasting text from any other program into Notes includes hidden characters which Notes does not recognize. Paste plain, non-formatted text into Notes and use the Notes formatting Tools provided on the Notes tab of a financial.


Q. Why are my Notes moved to the left side of the page on the PDF, and there is one word per line?

A. This is a known issue that we are working to resolve.

Here is the situation:

On the Notes page you will find Financial instruments with no notes. If an instrument has no notes it should not be on the Notes page.

Here is the solution:

  • Either click the link to the financial instrument on the Notes page, or go to the Asset-Map and edit the financial in question.

  • In both cases, head to the Notes tab, click into the Notes text field, and press your backspace key a few times to ensure there are no hidden formatting characters.

  • You must click UPDATE to save your empty Notes tab.

  • Take these steps for each financial on the Notes page that has no notes. This will allow you to create a PDF without the formatting issue.
