How do I get OT fonts to stop distorting on Web pages (in Internet Explorer)?

I created a great-looking newsletter in Adobe InDesign CS4 (I work for a very large organization and am still waiting for newer software, sorry). It used Adobe OpenType fonts including Myriad Pro, Myriad Pro Black, and Adobe Caslon Pro. I selected "Optimize for web use" when exporting it.  Our Web team then placed the PDF on our web page, using FTP.  When people viewed the PDF in Internet Explorer 9, (again, my organization is slow to change) the fonts either were distorted or did not even look like text.  The same PDF looked fine in Google Chrome and IE 11. In addition to being held at ID CS4 and IE9, we are also at Acrobat Profession version 10.
I did three things to prevent this issue:
I reloaded the old PostScript versions of Myriad (from PageMaker) and Adobe Caslon into the Fonts subfolder of my InDesign application folder, to deal with the body text.
In InDesign, I clicked Edit, selected Transparency Flattener Presets, and created a new preset with the Convert All Text to Outlines box checked (see illustration below),
I created a new PDF Export preset, which compresses images down to 72, 72 and 150 DPI respectively but did NOT check the "Optimize for Fast Web View" box.  I also did NOT check"compress text and line art" in the dialogue box. I temporarily set Compatibility down to Acrobat 4, and then selected the new "textoutline" transparency flattener preset that I made in Step 2. I then reset Compatibility to Acrobat 8 and saved the preset (the transp0arency flattener is now selected but grayed out).
This stopped the distortion. (We continued to use Myriad Pro Black as a headline font). However, PostScript fonts are 20th Century. How can I use Adobe OpenType fonts in the future instead of PostScript fonts?

Still trying to solve the problem. It may be one of my Acrobat job options. Any ideas on how to get Adobe OpenType fonts NOT to pixilate in PDFs created in InDesign CS4 viewed on the Internet in older versions of Internet Explorer?

  • How can I get Java to fill out form on web page and submit?

    I need to write a Java program that will submit a HTML form. I tried using POST already, but the only response I got back was the source code for the page itself. Looking more closely, I realized that there is a PHP script that will actually take the data from the forms and use it. How can I get Java to enter the data on the forms automatically and then run this PHP script? I don't need code, just a pointer in the right direction should do.
    Thanks in advance,

    If you are writing a program to submit a form,how come the PHP script come out of nowhere ? At this momemnt you are just writing some Java program,isn;t it ?
    My feeling is you are trying to edit some pre-written code.
    Is it ?
    Thanks.

  • How can I get the status bar back on my web page

    I want to get the status bar on the bottom of the web page so that I can slide from left to right if an article is too large for my monitor. I had it this morning 1-5-15. After checking out Thunderbird as an option for my email, the bar disappeared after uninstalling Thunderbird. I know about hovering over the web pages I have on my menu bar, but I would rather have the entire bar at bottom of page.
    The gray bar shows up in my email only. I would like to have it on all my websites.
    Thank you.

    Does the scroll bar appear if you maximize the window or possibly switch to full screen mode via F12?
    You can try to open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize the window in case the current window is too high and the horizontal scroll bar falls off.
    Try to open a new window in case there is a problem with the current window.
    You can check for problems caused by a corrupted xulstore.rdf file.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • How do I get Firefox/mozilla to stop "not allowing a page to change" I don't want to keep having to hit allow each time Thanks john

    On going to a new item on say news page a bar opens like in windows and reads Firefox has prevented this page from opening. then farther along the bar there is an allow button. I don't want to have to click each time. Thanks. john

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • How do I get an applet to work on a web page?

    I made an applet, but on my computer it only works when I have the JRE installed, and not when it isn't installed. Currently, it doesn't work on the website I put it on unless the computer accessing the website has the JRE installed. Is there any way to get it to work anyways? I know that at least some applets work when I don't have the JRE installed. Why won't mine?

    to run an applet a JRE must be installed. both netscape and IE have default 1.1 compliant jres built in, but you almost certainly don't want to use those, you probably want to use the plugin. to get your applet to use the plugin whether on not it is installed you use a particular html tag. see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/ for details, but briefly you would use something like:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>IWS Chat</title>
    </head>
    <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
    <OBJECT
    classid = "clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
    codebase = "http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,0,0"
    WIDTH = 100 HEIGHT = 100 >
    <PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = "infoworkspace.applet.AnApplet.class" >
    <PARAM NAME = ARCHIVE VALUE = "applet.jar" >
    <PARAM NAME = "type" VALUE = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.4">
    <PARAM NAME = "scriptable" VALUE = "false">
    <COMMENT>
    <EMBED
    type = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.4"
    CODE = "infoworkspace.applet.AnApplet.class"
    ARCHIVE = "applet.jar"
    WIDTH = 100
    HEIGHT = 100
    scriptable = false
    pluginspage = "http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/index.html#download">
    <NOEMBED>
    </NOEMBED>
    </EMBED>
    </COMMENT>
    </OBJECT>
    </body>
    </html>
    this will install the plugin for you and start the applet.
    hope this helps, Mitchell

  • How do I get a song to stop at the end in garageband on ipad 2?

    When a song in Garageband (on ipad 2) reaches the end, it immediately loops back to the beginning and starts playing again. I'd like to use Garageband as an accompaniment to live performance. So, how do I get the song to stop (and not restart) at the end?

    I really wish the Apple team would fix this.  It's one of those nagging things that was overlooked, I would imagine, and no one but musicians that perform would notice.
    Anyway, my workaround is this.  I just put a really long silent space at the end of the song giving me time to stop it before it loops. 
    Hey ipad/garageband team -  How about a new release of gargageband?

  • How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    Thanks for the tip.  If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
    I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
    I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings.  It happens at work and at home.  It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside.  It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside.  It happens in motor cars.  It happens in airports.  It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge.  It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
    Hope this helps.

  • My Iphone 5 says it has 7552 songs on it, however my iTunes only has 4125 on it. How do i get my phone to stop saying i have that many songs?

    My Iphone 5 says it has 7552 songs on it, however my iTunes only has 4125 on it. How do i get my phone to stop saying i have that many songs?

    It seems to happen with songs that were purchased before synchronizing the new iPhone
    I will tell you how I fixed it.
    Note: I have iTunes in spanish so I will try to translate and figure out the commands that appear on ITunes in english. I will put my translations into brackets. English is not my native language. I will do my best.
    The workaround is:
    1.- Dragg no working songs from iTunes to a folder on the hard disk. (Only for backup purposes)
    2.- Deleted those songs from iTunes library.
    3.- On the left panel in ITunes click on "Purchased" under the STORE option. All your purchased songs will appear on the right panel
    4.- At the bottom and right there is the option : "Download Previous Purchases". Click there.
    5.- Click on the option "Are not in my Library" (top right)
    6.- The songs you deleted from iTunes will appear.
    7.- Downloaded them again. (You have the option to download at the bottom right)
    8.- Syncronize your iPhone and that's all.

  • I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes...  "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play.  How can I get this message to STOP?

    I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes...  "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play.  How can I get this message to STOP?

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

  • Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability.  How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability.  How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
    But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

    Thanks, Rich

    In order to be cross platform you must be using the Open Type version of all fonts to cause the least disruption. Macs can read and process the Windows .ttf  type format but PCs can't process Mac formatted type. Most recent versions also cannot use the older PS Type 1 fonts.

  • How do i get my computer to stop making a fan noise

    how do i get my computer to stop making a fan noise?

    Is the computer hot? If so then do this:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    If the computer is not hot, then try resetting the SMC - Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
    Finally, try running diagnostics:
    Using Apple Hardware Test
    OS X Mountain Lion- Use Apple Hardware Test
    Intel-based Macs- Using Apple Hardware Test
    MacBook Air- Using Apple Hardware Test
