Harper, do you have the sharpening feature turned on? Another user reported a problem with that that I'm looking into. If not, can you send one of the problematic PDFs to mike@zubersoft.com so I can investigate? I may have to report an issue to the company that makes the PDF library if it's out of my control. They usually fix issues like that in a day, which is great.
Jeff, the "-" that you are seeing under the titles is based upon the caption format that is currently used. If you go to Settings->Library Settings->Song Title Formatting, you will see that the caption format is "%ARTISTS% - %ALBUMS%". If you don't have either of those defined, then only the dash is displayed. If you don't like this, you can uncheck "Show Caption" or you can choose a different caption format. The old behavior tried to detect when fields were missing and automatically displayed nothing in that case. If you want to go back to that behavior, you have to change the caption format to something a little more complex, namely:
%ARTISTS:${VALUE}${ALBUMS: - ${VALUE}}|${ALBUMS}%
This states, "If the song has something for artists, then display that value followed by a dash if albums is defined, otherwise nothing. If no artists are defined, but albums are, just display those". The reason this change was made is that previously, there were situations where it was difficult to tell what value was present. If a song has only one value below it, you don't know if that's an artist or an album. If you look at pages 20 and 21 of the manual, you can see more information on creating complex format strings.
