OT: PDF question

[Martin (Punky) Sopart]

Hello and a happy 2025 to the list!

I have a PDF file created out of the iPhone app MusicMemos.
The PDF contains detected chords of a song.
When reading the PDF with Preview on an English Intel based Mac (latest OS)
I encounter an error on the first page.
The page includes a table with bar numbers and the chords for that bar.
Bar 15 and 16 are displayed and announced on the same line and the chords
are in a wrong order.
But when reading the same PDF on a German M2 based Mac (latest OS) the
result is correct.

Now I wonder, if M2 based Macs uses a different Preview app than Intel ones
do.
On both systems the Preview version is the same.
Or could the different result be in conjunction with the OS language.

Here you can find the PDF, if you want to test it.

Thanks and best! / Martin

Hello again!

I also should have mentioned that the German M2 based Mac is a MacBook Air with an integrated display.
The English Intel based one is a Mac mini 2018 without a physical display.
Here a CompuLab - fit-Headless 4K HDMI plug is used.
But same result without the CompuLab.

Best wishes! / Martin

Hello all!

Is there anyone having a M2 or higher based Mac and willing to open the PDF file.
Just to check if the last line on page 1 includes the bar numbers 15 and 16 or only bar 16.
It would be also interesting to know if it is a Mac with or without a physical display.

For all owners of an Intel based Mac.
Please do the same and let me know.

I could narrow down the issue that it must be the display or the processor.
Not the first time that a Mini causes issues due to the missing display.

Thanks a lot and best wishes! / Martin
