  SQL Server Release Notes - June 2017
  RueLane Friday, June 09, 2017 8:15 PM

  This release contains updates made to protocol documents since the last release.

  The following known issues exist in the June 2017 release:

  • Underscore characters are not always visible in code in the PDF files, depending on the magnification selected by the user. Those characters are present in printed versions of the PDF.
  • Information in a table row may split across two pages.
  • Table borders are not always visible, depending upon the magnification selected by the user. Borders are present in printed versions of the PDF.
  • Cross-protocol links are functional only when the PDF files for all the cross-referenced protocols are in the same folder.

  Note: Links in the PDFs do not resolve in Adobe Reader 9 because Adobe has changed the default setting for view mode in Adobe Reader 9. To access such links, perform the following procedure:

  • In Adobe Reader 9, go to the Edit menu and click Preferences.
  • In the Categories list, click Documents.
  • Under PDF/A View Mode, change the selection from Only for PDF/A documents to Never, and click OK.

  Additional details on changing the setting are located on the Adobe help site: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS3E0E8467-B787-4020-A1D3-6BC762A42DF2.w.html
