Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro: Cannot find or create the font 'Arial'.

I have two workstations both running Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro, both have the font Arial installed and working just fine in other applications.
I have a pdf file from a customer which opens fine in one workstation, the other workstation gives the following error and shows all text in the pdf as "dots".
Cannot find or create the font 'Arial'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
I've Googled "Cannot find or create the font" and find this problem has been reported in Adobe forums and elsewhere in several previous versions of Adobe Acrobat. Nowhere is the problem resolved... most responses suggest the font Arial is not installed which is not helpful as the Arial font is indeed working fine in other applications.
Windows XP/ Adobe CS3 / Adobe 8.1.2 Professional
Thanks,

I am having the same problem Sam is. I only see dots in my document and received the same error mesage only I was using a different font. The font is installed on y system and usable in other documents.
I tried to change the font (dots) to a different font but received an error messge stating the change could not be done because the "chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved"
Please help!
Thanks so much!

    Some of the pdf files I work with (receive) come up with a comment: “Cannot find or create the font ‘WP-MathA’. Some characters may not display or print correctly.”  Who can help me solve this problem?
    Thank you in advance for  your time.

    Hello Anubha,
    I am having a similar problem on my machine.  I was using Word 2008 and I created a PDF inside Word.
    I am opening the file on the system itself and I am running Windows 8.1.  I am using Version 11 of Reader.
    When the PDF I created (my resume) attempts to open, it says:  cannot find or create the file Times, Bold.  Some characters may not display or print correctly. 
    However, the entire Reader keeps freezing and will not allow me to open or test print the document.  Also, it is not displaying any of the Bold Times New Roman Print.  Can you please help?  Thanks.

  • Error: Cannot find or create the font '0, Bold'...

    I get this error when I try to open a .pdf file that someone sent to me. "Cannot find or create the font '0, Bold'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
    I use gmail and can view the file but as soon as I save it or try to print it and adobe reader opens the file I can't see the any of the letters just lines of dots where the text is supposed to be.
    I did a quick search to see if there was already something in the forums or on the web but didn't find anything right away. I would like to print the file so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Sounds like the file is corrupt. Try contacting the file's creator.

  • I keep getting an error message saying cannot find or create the font "arialunicodeMS' s

    I keep getting this error message and all I can see are dots. Can anyone help? thank you.

    Seems like an issue with the fonts not being embedded in the PDF and the same not being available on your system either. You could ask the PDF creater to embed the same in the PDF and provide you with the new PDF.

  • 'Cannot read or create the font (font name) error message for Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hi Im new here so i dont know if this topic has been handled already.
    First the base info: Im on a iMac G5 running 10.5.4. And Im using Acrobat 9 pro. Im trying to convert Quarkxpress 7.31 eps files to PDFs. The particular font in question is called Blue Melody Ultra Bold. I use Font Book to manage my fonts.
    I installed it in every font folder i could find hoping that this would solve my problem. Still i get the message and when the file opens all i get a series of dots where the font should be. I get the same problem when i port files to work from home. And at work they are using Photoshop CS on Mac G3s.
    Im wondering is the problem with Acrobat or the fact that its Quark 7 giving the fact thats its been horribly buggy? Still Ive read where other people have been having the same problem that arent Quarkxpress files. Can anyone give me a little help?

    Well quark does have problems reading (placing) PDFs but not generally Exporting (creating) them.
    Pixelated and low quality PDFs are usually down to your settings, in particular turn off the OPI XT and uncheck the Distiller option to allow postcript to overwrite Distiller Settings.
    You are confusing subjects, The general consensus on the quark forums that EPS is better than PDF is specifically when talking about placing files into quark picture boxes. No one is saying Save page as EPS and Distill to make a PDF is a good idea. Both Export or printing postscript and Distilling are superior methods.
    Have you cleared your font caches.
    You may want to change from Font Book to something like Linotype Font Explorer X which is free to manage your fonts.
    Short term fix would be to set up a Distiller settings file that includes the location of your troublesome font.

  • ITunes cannot find or creat iTunes folder

    I just put in a new motherboard and had to repair my windows and iTunes will not start. It gives me a message that it cannot find or create the iTunes folder in the My Music folder. It was there so I moved it and removed the iTunes software and reinstalled it. It still gives me the same warning that it cannot find or create the folder

    Perhaps this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:
    iTunes for Windows XP: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    Good luck.

  • I keep getting this message when I launch PP "Premiere Pro cannot find any capable video play modules"

    I keep getting this message when I launch PP "Premiere Pro cannot find any capable video play modules". I've read through a few threads and made the recommended changes but still no luck, it crashes everytime. I have a Mac Pro 2010 with a Nivdia Quadro FX 4800.

    Hello and thanks for the response. Yes, I've read that post and many others, I still get the same message when trying to open. I've realized there's no way to get tech support for any of the products I'm using. Is there another place hat can help me with this problem? I really wanted to try PP but looks like I won't be able to.

  • How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

    How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

    This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
    and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
    You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
    If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

  • Cannot find any of the links under menu

    Hi guys,
    I made a installation of PT8.51 on Oracle11gR2 on Win2k8R2 64-bit.All scripts ran successfully.Everything went fine.Iam using 2 machines i.e. one as an application server and other as an database server.I configured the application server and booted it.I configured the PIA and i logged into it but to my surprise i cannot find any of the links or anything under the menu.Why is it.Do i have to run any scripts to grant the user PS some permission to access the menu or what??Pls help me.Do i have to make any further configuration on any of the servers?

    Thank you for your reply.No nic i have not managed for an upgrade.Is there any other way to check that i have got everything in my PIA.I doubt it may be something like the PS user is not granted the security to access any of the links.PLs advise what to do?

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

  • IDM with SQL server Error: Cannot find columns for the table...

    Hi all,

    Can anybody please help me!!

    Yes, permissions are very important. I ran into a similar problem because I didn't have the correct permissions. Make sure the user has the following permissions:
    CREATE ANY TABLE
    ALTER ANY TABLE
    DROP ANY TABLE
    CREATE ANY PROCEDURE
    EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
    DROP ANY PROCEDURE
    Also, make sure there is enough space in the default tablespace of that user.

    Use the Report a Problem link in the iTunes email receipt you received. Also in-app purchases can be made without the password if you bought the app within the last 15min. You should enable the in-app restriction in Settings.
