Problem with verity and Microsoft Curly Quotes

    I have a problem with the verity tool in ColdFusion converting all MS Curly Quotes to a question mark. The client has a whole bunch of word docs that were created into .pdf. Therefore the summary and title that comes back is full of question marks instead of the curly quotes.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to get it to display correctly?

    Thank you.

    What exactly are you trying to display? Is it a coldfusion page? Are they pdfs created from a coldfusion page?

    If you could elaborate a bit, it would be helpful.

    Thanks.

    When a verity index if created it will create a summary feild and grab the title of the document to index. Both of these feilds are getting index with the MS Smart Quotes (curly signle and double quotes) being replace with a question mark right into the verity index.

    Therefore, when the results get displayed on the page it displays the question marks as well.

    Thanks
