Bug (?) fonts, conversion to PDF

With the help of the latest InDesign CC on a desktop Win10. Very simple job: design, PDF to the client... make changes, PDF revised to the customer, etc. Something strange has happened in the last PDF file: example from the top of the page (below) is what it SHOULD look like... as he did in the first two or three exported a PDF file. But this last PDF seemed second sample... the 'P' in 'Political' and 'Washington DC' are bad fonts, size and/or color.

When I saw this, I went back to InDesign to see if I could understand what happened... not a single clue. Nothing that I could find that might have caused this. So I have just spruced up this subtitle of two lines, save and convert them to PDF once again... that fixed it.

So, a little frightens me! I don't know why it happened, but I did I have to find a way to avoid this, or I'm in deep Doo - Doo. Would be grateful for anyone's thoughts on this... Thank you!

PS: If you KNOW the solution to this, and it includes "reinstall Windows"... ehhh, no thanks!

When the text past different characters or families of fonts in how it appears in the native document, how it appears in a pdf document, that may result from character mapping when creating pdf. And your PDF file has an anomaly of character mapping.

Bookman Oldstyle shows twice in the font with ANSI and CID encoding properties. Multiple encodings mean that there could be several versions of Bookman on system or from another source, such as a different Bookman used in a chart.

The CID encoding could be there is a used glyph which is not in the table of standard characters and requires a greater encoding CID.

What you can try: PDF export with no creation of subsets of fonts. Do the following in the PDF export window > advanced > subset fonts when percentage... Make that 0%.

You can also try printing a file postscript and distilling.

And, when you look at your PDF, the number "4" in the PDF file is incorrect as well.

  • Distiller will suddenly end/crash the * SECOND * time I open a file for conversion to PDF.

    The subject says it all: Distiller will suddenly end/crash the * SECOND * time I open a file for conversion to PDF.

    But I think I have an idea why this is happening. In general, I use Distiller to convert EPS or PS files as PDF files. In addition, almost without fault, I incorporate the required (only of Type 1) fonts directly in files EPS/PS (using the required format to PFA) so no local fonts on my computer are needed to be looked at to distill in to be embedded in the file PDF. they are already in the EPS/PS files.

    But yesterday, I tried to convert EPS/PS files to PDF using Distiller in which I had NOT embedded fonts Type 1 (PFA format, of course) in the source of EPS/PS files. All first this conversion would work (in which I select "open" and choose an EPS/PS file for conversion), but after this initial conversion, the * SECOND * time I clicked "Open" the file, Distiller would immediately close/crash.

    Then, I searched the web for answers and discovered that some people have trouble distilling to initialize if all their computer system fonts were read-only. So I went back to my EPS/PS files and embedded fonts Type 1 (PFA format) required in them and then - as if by magic - distill worked without a hitch: I could open and convert any number of them in succession, with distilling never close / crashing.

    Then, I found the reason why distilling had been crashing at the second attempted to open a file (once again, simply by pressing the "open" button to find a file to convert, * no * after selecting a file) must have something to do with distilling scanning fonts installed on my computer, when there was no PFA font incorporated to make reference to , and a read only font on my system was the cause of the problem. However, I have looked in both places of logic where my fonts must be located (c:\psfonts and c:\windows\fonts), but found * no. attributes * files fonts defined in 'read only' so, I'm stumped.

    I use Distiller Pro 10.1.1316 (acrodist.exe) on a machine to earn 8.1. I found similar positions, which dates back to 2004, about Distiller crashing immediately after opening when certain fonts are read-only; I haven't found a post about anyone successfully using Distiller to convert EPS or PS to PDF and then have the program crash when the "Open" button is pressed subsequently. The clues, anyone?

    Background: Distiller Server is a product discontinued long - ago - use of Distiller server is now simply prohibited, and LiveCycle PDF Generator is available for servers.

    Since you are not using Distiller Server and this forum is essentially abandoned, I recommend that you try the Acrobat - forum creation (etc.) instead.

    I WANT TO CONVER MY. DOC DUTY FONTS "TERAFONT". PDF?

    Having asked in the forum Adobe Reader, it is good to know that Adobe Reader cannot create PDF, manipulate the content of a PDF page, or export the contents of a PDF page to the other supported formats.

    There are alternatives.

    You can use Acrobat to create a PDF file from a DOC file.
    Use a workflow that integrate fonts (note that some fonts licenses do not allow this).

    You can use the Adobe 'PDF Pack' online subscription service.

    Problems of conversion of PDF to MS Word document.  I managed to convert 4 files and now the subsequent files generate a "Conversion failed" error when you try to convert the file.  I have a big manuscript and I separated each chapter to help the conversion; as I said, the first 4 pieces without problem, then the conversion failure.  I tried to convert the document integer and same result.  Specifically, I bought the feature export to Word.  Please help.  I had initially export the Word Perfect PDF document and attempting to pass PDF to MS Word.

    Hi sdr2014,

    I'm sorry to hear that your conversion process is at a standstill. It seems that the problem is not specific to a single file, you have been unable to convert anything, since the first four chapters of a correct conversion.

    So, let's try this:

    If you want to convert via the ExportPDF site, please sign out, clear the browser cache, and then reconnect. If you use the drive, please choose Help > updates to ensure that you have installed the latest version.

    Please let us know how it goes.

    Best,

  • Conversion from PDF to DOC in a special way...

    Conversion from PDF to DOC in a special way...

    I have a pdf form. I need to convert it to doc because I use Goldmine CRM to merge or insert fields in the doc.

    The easiest way for me is if I can simply consider each page of the PDF as an image and convert the pdf file into a word document composed by images. Each page of the word document is an image.

    Then I can use an overlay with transparent textbox to insert the fields at my convenience.

    You know a method to do this with the results and a good resolution?

    Best regards

    Export pages as images is possible via the file > save as menu in Acrobat, but I don't see why you want to do. Acrobat can save a PDF file as a Word document ordinary.

  • Conversion from pdf to htm

    I have problems of conversion of pdf to htm files, the file created in word, and when I export to htm, it goes in all directions. lists do not come in a straight line, the images are not in the right places. Y at - it a trick that can help me with this?

    I use acrobat adobe 9 on windows.

    I also tried to convert pdf to htm designs - I need to make to the landscape, but when I do the htm files is a streched og view of landscape portrait if it makes no sense.

    Can someone explain how to properly convert pdf files to htm?

    File > export > HTML provides two choices.

    The output is pretty basic and will require cleaning with a HTML editor.

    What comes out of the PDF tends to reflect how the PDF content has been created.

    It might be useful if a PDF source has been properly marked (discussion of the tagged PDF document is in article 14 of the standard ISO 32000 - 1).

    Keep in mind that HTML does not have 'pages' SE (letter, tabloid, A4, etc.).

    The browser may present a file HTML in various ways, but there is no 'page '.

  • Missing fonts in imported PDF files

    I have a document with several PDFs 'Place '.  When I go to print, it tells me that I have lack of fonts.

    To search for a font, I see missing fonts and what they came to PDF.  Only search a font will not let me replace it.

    I can't change the font in the PDF file either because it was not made by my Department.   I tried with and without frame setting.  Tried incorporated and related.

    Status of the user only - if updates come along, I must have IT connect you to them to apply.

    Here is an old workaround that might do the trick. Add a transparent element to your PDF and then use for your vector fonts flattening preview, every once in a blue moon that works, even if the required fonts are not on your system (I think). In Acrobat, go to Document > watermark > add > text (hit the SPACEBAR) to 99% opacity, this will add a transparent invisible watermark. Go to Advanced > printing > Flattener Preview > vectorize all the text > Apply. If you see a message that the fonts should be post incorporated, read Peter # 1 once more and print out the PDF to an image, this option may be under Advanced options in your print dialog box. Not ideal, difficulty, but might suit your needs.

  • Times fonts in Adobe PDF format

    Hello editors,

    Using the framework 7.1, Windows XP.

    I use the Adobe PDF driver in image with the SetPrint utility. My problem is that our Style Guide requires Times fonts and Adobe PDF converts this value to Times New Roman.

    My colleaguse use a local postscript printer that sometimes, but I get errors using this (THERE were up to present unable to fix it).

    I can convince Adobe PDF to accept the Times font? If not, it seems that 'best practice Frame' (use Adobe PDF) is not compatible with our style guide (use both). And of course, the style guide takes precedence.

    I'm not sure that there is a significant difference to the reader between

    Times and New Times, but the problem is that your colleagues use

    the fonts on the PRINTER not on their computers. The printer unless

    manufacturer has provided fonts on a CD to install on the

    computer, it is unlikely that these fonts are actually being

    incorporated in PDFs of your colleague. And if they are, it is very

    unlikely (but possible) that these fonts are licensed for inclusion in

    a PDF file - if you are worried about the legality of this, you should

    check the actual PDF using Acrobat preflight.

    If I were you, I buy a legal copy of time, or just ask the

    the guardians of the style guide if new times can be replaced if your

    system has no time.

  • Effects do not come in the conversion to PDF

    I'm doing some tests with the catalog, I created and must be sure that everything is fine until I send to print.  I have a white background, which the opacity is set to 50%, and when I did the conversion to PDF, the background came to the course.  Is that all I need to know what is printing this document when the effect has been applied to the images?  I send a PDF over to the printer, that's what they prefer.

    Thank you...
