Why the arrows converted to question marks?

I've created a chart in Excel that contains several arrows. When I create a PDF file, all the arrows that are converted into question marks. Why? How can I fix?

I use Adobe Acrobat 5.0, Adobe Reader X, Windows XP on a Dell Vostro 1510. In addition, the arrows were created in Excel by clicking on "Insert", then "symbol" with the Ariel font selected.

Thank you very much for your help!

I write to the list where others might have a clue. However, it may be that the differences are related to the fact that to create a PDF with AA5 on this Windows machine, I must print to file and then use Distiller. You are able to print directly to the printer. You could try the copy of file, and then open the file in Distiller to see if you get the same result. I just printed directly as PDF on AA5 of Open office and got the same result, so I don't know what you have different. Here are the screenshots:

There are two different printers (I deleted the PDFWriter to my AA5 installations. I just make an impression to the Acrobat Distiller and PDF Writer for AA4 printer. The PDF writer gave results similar to yours (actually Acrobat PDFWriter 5.0) and the printer AD worked well. It was long since I have dealt with this issue, I had forgotten the problems. The line at the bottom is not use PDF Writer, but use the Acrobat Distiller printer. The problems that you are experiencing is one of the many reasons why Adobe PDF Writer with AA6 distribution quit. AA5, it was only available for a custom installation. Embed fonts, has been one of the major problems with PDF Writer.

Recommendation: Print on the Acrobat Distiller printer and ignore in the future the PDFWriter. Go to start > printers and right click the ad to reach Printer preferences. You may need to go to a second layer of general tab menu, but you should be able to find the settings tab. Then select print settings by default so that all fonts are embedded. This should solve your problem. Sorry it took so long to remember about PDFWriter.

    Thank you

    Third-party browsers generally have their own subsystems of fonts.  Safari is tightly integrated with the operating system.  When you use a third-party utility to change the behavior of the functioning of the policies at the level of the BONE, you end up with a secondary effect in Safari.

    You can try fora them of Safari and/or the support site of your font manager, but browsers to switch or remove the font manager are probably more simple options.  We simply make applications to the browser and are dependent on what offers Safari, so we have no control over the outcome in this scenario.

  • iMac G3 tray charger stuck on the gray screen with question mark flashing folder

    I recently bought an iMac G3 (charger tray, 333 MHz, M4984) and when I try to boot from an OS installation disc 10.3, there will remain only blocked on the gray screen with folder flashing with the question mark. Not only it does not maintain the keys C or Option, but it will not start up any combination of keys, such as resetting the PRAM or the NVRAM. It just starts and stays on the screen with the flashing folder does nothing. It CAN read the keyboard, because I can turn on the computer with the keyboard, it just won't start to the top of any disk or any combination of keys. Any ideas on what could be the problem? I just replaced the hard drive, but it was the same before I replaced the hard drive as well. In addition, the iMac had apparently OS 8.6 installed on it when it came, and I think I need to move to OS 9 and do a firmware update before you install OS X (correct me if I'm wrong), but I can not do because the iMac does start not in general of any combination of keys. Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

    It took charger slot, but I think that optional for the bin.  I think that you can upgrade the firmware with 8.6 for trays.

    You may need to reset the PRAM and NVRAM and Mac's Open Firmware. Stop the Mac, then it turns on and before the screen lights up, quickly down the command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac rang twice more after the power to chime.

    Then, before that lights up the screen, hold down the command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware appears. Then enter these lines, and then press return after each of them:

    Reset-nvram

    Configure default

    Reset-all

    "The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings. »

  • Does anyone know why I make a yellow question mark by my AS3 .swf?

    I developed some Actionscript 3 animations in CS Flash 5 to use Cp5.  Instead of the green ball in the top corner icon right of the animation, I'm an exclamation mark yellow as I did when with my Actionscript 2 .swfs.  The reason why I created new in AS3 was to avoid any conflict.  Hmmm

    Screen shot 2011-03-17 at 9.52.49 PM.png

    The news that I am using is red circle Moving, Moving red Rectangle and move the Point of Exclamation.  The Green Ball items are Cp5 Gallery.

    Thank you

    Ah... it is what explains why you would be to see these icons.

    When open the Captivate library, it goes through and checks the locations of the objects in the library to see if it can still connect to the location of the source files.

    I would say that the way around this problem would be to have the path to all the source files replicated on each machine you are working on.  So if you have configured a directory C:/projects with exactly the same structure of folder on each PC that you are using, the path to the source files would remain the same.  But according to me, trying to keep all the files in three synchronized machines always upward will be more trouble than it's worth, personally.

  • Why the arrow of 'hide ads' Yahoo email does not appear on Mozilla?

    Hey, it's probably because you are using Adblock Plus, you can try to disable modules Manager Ctrl + Shift + a Extensions then. Or you can try to disable the other modules either individually or by using the Mode without failure of Firefox. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  • Why the Dell recovery partition is marked as partition active?

    As far as I know the active partition where the bootloader. So I have a few questions:

    How the recovery partition to load windows?

    Could not Dell set the Windows partition active? If I do it myself that I would not be able to access?

    Is this partition created by Dell or have I not this option with a non - OEM Windows copy as well?

    Hello VYOAMA

    You are right that the boot loader is located on the active partition.

    Your next question how it load windows? Instructions in the bootloader show

    When windows is located on the disc and load it where. The old directory of BACK

    has almost disappeared since the bootloader it uses and compensate for finding things on the disk.

    Your next question about Dell implementation active Windows partition? Yes, and on some systems

    and not on others. Your next question to yourself and that you would not be able

    to access? One thing you cannot access is back at the factory. Once the connection between

    Partition and windows partition recovery is broken cannot use F8 to recover the original image.

    Your next question, yes Dell partition configuration, but it is a version of Microsoft Windows and you can

    Create your recovery partition, the system, the partition to the OS partition and set the place in several ways.

    Hope this answer some of your questions and always back up your computer before changing

    things.

  • Question mark? Why he keep appearing?

    I copy a table to an existing web page on our corporate site with the intention to alter the table. I simply copy the source (< table > < /table >) Safari and paste it in Dreamweaver 8. I don't think I'm doing something unusual, but when I make changes to the text two problems: sometimes bizarre characters appear when I'm editing are not visible in the source code, and sometimes everything seems OK in Dreamweaver, but when I saw the text, there are question marks in the text.

    Is it a kind of problem of formatting can I repair it with a preference setting?

    Thanks for any help on this frustrating problem.

    Hi Josh,.

    It turns out that the problem I wrote about has been caused by Quark. I don't have an answer as to what Quark hurts, but I have a solution: copy text from Quark and paste it into a Word application like Sticky Notes or TextEdit on a Mac. These applications Strip characters that DreamWeaver do not.

    Hope this helps,

  • I'm new to lightroom. I downloaded a bunch of folders FRO my Mac HD. There is a question mark next to each one. What does that mean?

    I'm new to lightroom. I downloaded a bunch of files from my Mac HD. There is a question mark next to each one. What does that mean?

    Thanks for the update.

    Question mark on these files means that you must be moved/renamed/deleted files on your hard drive where they were originally.

    When you import an image in Lightroom, it does not matter the original copy of the image instead it saves to the original location when you import or where you copy the image using Lightroom and it always refers to this place.

    So if you want to move or rename these images, you should do it in Lightroom instead of outside of Lightroom.

    Now, if you know the current location of these images on your hard drive, you must move them into Lightroom.

  • Why my browser showing the diamonds including the question mark inside of them, where are my accented 'e '?

    On this site, on certain pages of the site, my accented 'e's not displayed to the top. Instead, I have little diamonds with question marks within such diamonds. Any reason why this is? I suspect it is the font setting, but I don't know who it is. No idea as to which it may be.

    PS. I've included a link to the site where I noticed the problem. The diamonds appear in abundance on this page.

    This site works fine for me. Try this to adjust your display:

    View > character encoding > Western (ISO 8859 - 1).

    It's actually my defined by default, here:

    Tools > Options > content

    Click the Advanced button, right next to the font size, then check the bottom drop-down list control.

    It is difficult to know what is the best value by default, but this one works well for navigation mainly English / US web sites.
