Cannot extract the embedded font - Adobe Reader XI

Hello,
I have an XPS file converted to a PDF with an embedded font inside, when I open the file, as I scroll to a page having '&' in the text (that's my case, but it's probably the same with any special character), a message box shows up saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'HDGSLM+[my font]'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." and I can't see the special character in the page.
I checked that my font was actually embedded in the PDF (File -> Properties -> Fonts) and seems to be ok, normal characters look fine and the application doesn't say anything until I scroll to the page with '&' inside. Also, other PDF readers show the document fine.
I looked around the forum and saw that other people got the same problem and to them was a bug introduced in Adobe Reader 8.x, but nothing was confirmed by developers.
Can you help me? Is it a bug? If yes, is Adobe working on it?
Thank you.
P.S.
My Adobe Reader version is 11.0.4

Reader can not create PDF files, so you should look for bugs in the software that was used to generate it.

  • Cannot extract the embedded font - Adobe X

    I opened a book and got the message:
    Cannot extract the embedded font 'CAPBKC+MyriadMM-830--130-'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
    How can I rectify this?

    Install Foxit PDF reader, and then you can see the PDF document without any problem.
    I think your book was generated from Quartz.
    As I know there is no free solution for this problem. Updates of Abobe reader will not work.
    tips:
    You don't need Foxit reader as a default PDF reader program.
    Foxit reader shows document with plain standard font.

    Hi ravindra, what i can suggest you is to set a breakpoint just before ur cursor goes into the pdf part and just comment the part when it comes to the popup. its very easy and the best way to do it.

  • Error message from Adobe Reader. cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly. Print looks like gibberish

    Trying to view/print PDF documents from website. Print looks like gibberish and is unreadable. Problem is with the embedded fonts. Error message from Adobe says cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly.

    Try Adobe support, that's not a Firefox support issue. <br />

  • Error: cannot extract the embedded font 'WTNNGO+LiberationMono-Bold' when reading a PDF

    I am trying to read a pdf file and I get the error: cannot extract the embedded font 'WTNNGO+LiberationMono-Bold'. Then some of the words are displayed as sets of dots, a dot per character. I have tried Adobe Reader 7 through 11 all with the same error. Apparently some fonts are missing. My OS is 64 bit windows 7.

    Tell them to embed the font information into the PDF. You don't have the font on your system so as-is, the PDF needs it to display that font. With embedded font information, you don't need the font.

  • Cannot extract the embedded font 'IEOFAD+TimesNewRoman'.

    I am a Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Adobe reader X 10.1.4 user. When I'm opening a pdf file, this error message come out: Cannot extract the embedded font 'IEOFAD+TimesNewRoman'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
    How do I solve this problem? Thanks.

    Your question pertains to the Mac version of Adobe Reader. I've moved it to the Adobe Reader forum.

  • Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.

    This question was previously published but no answer has been found.
    Error message is :
    "Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
    Many pdf documents display this error with Adobe Reader 8.1.0. We have errors for embedded fonts 'F0','F3','F7' and so on.
    It looks like a Adobe Reader bug because :
    - All PDF files can be opened with Acrobat Reader 5.0.5, 6.x and 7.x, can't be opened with 8.1.0 version.
    - the 8.1.1 update removes only the bug for 'F0' error message (issue #1572280).
    The solution :
    - to publish a 8.1.2 update to fix this important bug
    - is there a registry parameter or tool option to disable the checking added in 8.x version of Adobe Reader ? The 8.x version catches more errors to be compliant with Adobe specification but Adobe reader must be
    compliant with all documents generated by third party products.
    This Adobe Reader bug applies to Windows Vista, XP Pro SP2, 2000.
    Thx,
    Regards

    Just to let you know, for anyone else with this problem. I had this problem occur on a MAC when you tried to do save to PDF in excel. This was all happening at the point of generation of the PDF in my case.
    The fix was to delete ALL the microsoft preferences, but perahps only the font cache needed to be deleted.
    I deleted the following areas from the local users userprofile on the mac. On windows, I would probably log in as a differnet user to try to see if the problem just exsists for one particular user.
    Here are the sections I deleted:
    Library/caches/metadata/Microsoft*
    Username/library/preferences/com.microsoft* ( and anyhting with microsoft in it)
    I did leave the entourage settings though.
    hope it helps someone with a similar issue.

  • Cannot extract the embeded font 'KDGXKF+TTF5BC9A0t00'.Some characters may not display or print correctly.

    I am currently using Adobe Reader version 9.1.3. When I open certain files, it displays the following message, "Cannot extract the embeded font 'KDGXKF+TTF5BC9A0t00'.Some characters may not display or print correctly". Some fonts are actually missing and will not display when printing. I have tried updating adobe but the problem still persists. Under file properites, the following font TTF5BC9A0t00 is recognised by Adobe as true type and custom encoding. Anyone has any suggestions for fix??
    Cheers

    BUT, does it say "embedded" or "embedded subset" next to the font name. If not, the font isn't included in the file and if you don't have it, it can't display or print it.
    The file creator will need to embed the fonts properly although "some" fonts don't allow embedding. This could be one of them.

  • Error message: "Cannot extract the embedded font DAAAAA+Arial MT..."

    hello,
    after open an pdf file I get the error message "Cannot extract the embedded font DAAAAA+Arial MT..." I get this message with Adobe Reader Version 6.x, 7.x, 8.x and 9.0 on three different pc (Windows XP). The file was written with Adobe Acrobat Version 8.1
    I found the kb402950 but the solution to use Version 7.x didn`t work.
    Any other ideas?

    Hey k%20street,
    There seems to be a font issue within this particular file, but you cannot do anything using only Reader.
    So, as long as it displays correctly, there should be no problem with printing. It is simply a warning that apparently something was a miss in an embedded font and result might not be as expected.

  • Cannot extract the embedded font...

    I am encountering the following message when opening a particular .pdf:
    Cannot extract the embedded font "Arial,Bold". Some characters may not display or print correctly.
    I've attempted to open his file at different PCs-message persists.

    According to this thread: http://choorucode.wordpress.com/2010/02/02/adobe-acrobat-embedded-font-error/
    the error relates to a font that is used in the document that is incompatible with the version of Adobe Reader being used (or is an outdated font). On the extreme side, the font itself could be corrupted on the PC of the person who created the PDF. So, you'd want to check:
    1) Is the font file on the PC corrupted (does this happen only for documents created by one user on one machine)?
    2) Is the font outdated/unsupported?
    3) Is the font incompatible with your version of Adobe Reader?

    Hi Markus ,
    It is a problem with the pdf file being encoded as ascii by the email program when it is really binary. The way to get around the problem is to zip the file or use a different email program or change the encoding method if possible.
