Ad Owl Print Version Does Not Display Bolded Words but Online Preview Does
Has anyone found a way to preserve selected-word bold, italics and underlining in Ad-Owl’s print preview?
At the Stone County Enterprise, formatting applied when creating a legal ad displays correctly in the saved online content, but disappears from the print preview. Rebuilding the ad does not resolve it.
We also found that:
- The Ad-Owl XML export contains plain text without the formatting.
- Exporting the same ads from Marketplace → Classifieds produces a CSV that preserves the HTML formatting in the
adtextcolumn.
We use the Ad-Owl export to bring scheduled ads into InDesign CS6 through a script. Ideally, we would like one export that preserves both the formatting and the print-order information.
Is there an Ad-Owl setting, supported markup or export method that handles this? I’d appreciate hearing how other newspapers manage formatted legal ads for print.
