Well, your default HTML generates one screwey PDF. When viewed in Mac OSX Preview, I get the text "T pe our HTML here..." Then, when I select the text, certain letters get partially removed or overwritten and I end up with gibberish.

I've just spent weeks working on HTML -> PDF conversion code, so I know it's not just my viewer. I've put all kinds of crazy stuff through there.

Exact same thing works perfectly for me (OS X Preview, version 5.0.1). I'd be interested to know what this turns out to be.

Thanks for the report. I will look into it as there should be no default HTML in the editor.
