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 'ABCDEE+Arial'

    When creating a PDF, we keep getting errors in Adobe reader 11 with the above font error.
    When I view the properties of the PDF, we can see that both Arial fonts and courier fonts are unknown. This happens even if we make a pdf that is entirely blank.
    These PDFs read fine in Reader X, it is only 11 that is giving us issue.
    Suggestions? The PDFs are created in our proposal tool. PDFs that do no add any of our marketing pieces, do not give us this error. PDFs that do include our marketing pieces, throw the error.
    We have tried making the PDFs using Acrobat (latest version) as well as using MS Word 2013.. with the same issue.

  • How to fix error "Cannot extract the embedded font ...."?

    When I open the pdf file on the following webpage, I get the following error message "Cannot extract the embedded font 'BLKDIK+PLBIserif-Medium'. Some characters may not display or print correctly". Is there a way to get rid of such error in the pdf file?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Acrobat Professional 8.1.6 "Cannot extract the embedded font...."

    I created a PDF exporting from InDesign and when the PDF opens I get the message: "Cannot extract the embedded font...Some characters may not diplay or print correctly." I made sure the font was postscript font and is not corrupted, I changed the font and the same problem happened.
    I have looked all over the internet for an answer and have not found a solution. Can you please give me some advised how to solve the problem?

    Thank you.

    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.

  • Acrobat 7: cannot extract the embedded font

    My problem is with reading some (not all) imported files with Acrobat 7 Professional. Certain files that will open with both Acrobat Reader 5 and Reader 8 will not open with Acrobat 7 Professional. I could understand much better if a file would open with 8 and not with 5 & 7, or with 5 but not 7 & 8. But in these particular cases it is only 7 that will not work. I am working on a PC with Windows XP.
    I get the message:
    "Cannot extract the embedded font xxxxxxxx. Some characters may not display or print correctly"
    The entire document then appears to be blank--through interestingly enough I can carry out other Acrobat 7 operations such as deleting specific pages in the pdf file.
    I suspect that there is a simple preferences setting that is wrong, but have been unable to find anything that helps.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Of course, I may not be in the right forum, and this is really a problem with the "Professional" package, not just the Reader.

  • 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.

    Hi everyone,
    When opening a pdf file, I get the following error:

    This does not happen on all files, but repetitively on certain series of files, so must be a font conflict in the files.

  • Cannot extract the embedded font arial.Some char might not be displayed

    Hi Folks,
                  Our requirement is to generate the customer account statement for a set of cusomters during a particular period.
                         we  use a script to generate the statement and convert it to pdf.This pdf is then stored in the application server and retrived using cg3y transaction.The transaction allows the statement to be generated for multiple customers and company code.
    the problem that we face is that the first customer account statement is generated properly the rest of the statements are not displayed properly.When we open the customer account statement we get the error 'Cannot extract the embedded font arial.Some characters might not be displayed properly'.All the Headings that we of the font BOLD ARIAL were not displayed.
    This error does not occur for the first pdf file generated.(say we have 3 customers  for the 1st customer pdf is proper however for the next two error'.
                         When I checked the application server I found that the first file has font subtype as Type1 and then rest of the files have font subtype as Truetype.
    This is working fine.I downloaded the file to pc using cg3y.the pdf looks fine.

    Hi,
    this can be related to the compression of the PDF file.
    You can turn off the FlateDecode compression again via report RSTXPDF3 as described in Note #843480. It is a little confusing. The option 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' needs to be set to 'On' to turn off the FlateDecode compression.
    To set this please run as follows:
    se38 -> RSTXPDF3 -> enter 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' in the 'Name' field -> Select 'Change Settings' radio button
    You will get a pop-up 'Do not use flat compression'.
    Select the 'on' button.
    After this check if the PDF is created correctly.
    regards,
    Aidan

  • 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.
