textcomp package makes text unselectable for Android Adobe Reader application?
Alright, here's a weird one. I'm writing a paper for my English class and felt the need to use an interrobang. So, I put \usepackage{textcomp} in my preamble and compile it. It works!
Not so fast. I need to proofread my draft. Although I could use Foxit on my PC, I want to edit on the go, so I grab my Android tablet. I've used the annotations and highlighting on it before with other papers and it works well. So I get the file on my tablet, open it, and... I can't do anything with text. I can add comments and drawings, but anything that selects text does not work.
I compare my paper's .tex source to the template I usually use and the only thing that's different about the preamble is the use of textcomp. I remove the package and my single use of \textinterrobang, recompile, and lo and behold I can now select, highlight, underline, and strikethrough text on my Android using Adobe Reader, the same application as before.
What happened? And what is making Adobe Reader get confused over textcomp and a simple interrobang?
