Math & Science ⇒ Double Superscript Error (Actuarial Symbol)

[clarinetist]

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\subsection{Term Insurance (\texorpdfstring{$A^{(m)}^{1}_{x:\overline{n}|}$}{})}
\end{document}

It comes out exactly as I would like it:

The only problem is that I get a double superscript error. I have the lifecon package (which isn't on CTAN), but it does not have this symbol in it.

Help is appreciated. Thank you!

Note that I have the symbol in \texorpdfstring so that the symbol shows up in the Table of Contents. Also, I have tried adding \text in order to add space, but that hasn't worked.

Note the different input methods and the differences in the output.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\subsection{Term Insurance (\texorpdfstring{$A^{(m)}{}^{1} _{x:\overline{n}|}$}{})}
$A^{(m)}{}^{1}_{x:\overline{n}|}$ % as suggested by the error message
$A^{(m)^1}_{x:\overline{n}|}$
$A^{(m) 1}_{x:\overline{n}|}$

\end{document}

Best regards
Johannes

PS: Good MWE
