<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I had a similar problem and copied and pasted the offending text into a text editor. “fi’s” and “fl’s” seem to be stored as ligature characters, i.e. instead
of an “f” and an “I” or “l” they are represented by a single (?)graphic image. If you zoom in on the letter you might see they are tied together. An old printers’ kerning trick.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry, it was a bit vague. I printed off the 2012 paper directly from the VCAA site and anywhere that 'fi' was written, it disappeared. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example 'Certificate' on the front page was just "Certi cate". It was like that all through the paper.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apparently, it is not doing this in Adobe. (Only in "Preview" which is a Mac app.)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Very weird. I thought VCAA were trying to stop us from copying them O.o<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Turns out it may be just a program glitch. <o:p></o:p></p>
