Strange FONT in Adobe Reader 9 with Windows 7

If a pdf was made from a word document or anything other than a scan the font is very strange, not default arial (see attached picture). I had this problem in reader X adn downgraded adn still have the problem. WHen this document is opened in gogle docs or on another computer the font is arial. Thanks for your help.

I have the same issue in multiple documents on Windows 7 with Adobe Reader X 10.1.0. Multiple others on my team can open the same files and do not have the issue. I have done a terse check and we have similar installed programs, etc.
Since I am not creating the documents, I have no control over how they are created. Also, I seem to have the issue on my computer and others do not.
Is there any way to troubleshoot font substitutions? Is there any way to verify fonts? Certainly I can see some fonts are not embedded in a sample I have, but I cannot see any way to know what font was specified and which was picked. If I could find out that, I may delete the strangely spaced one so a better choice is picked. It picks this odd font for what should be Arial...I think...but I am not sure. On this one sample doc I was able to get the creator to embed all fonts and it looks correct on my machine. However the previous version without embedded fonts shows like this:
Here is what it should look like:
Both version look fine on other machines.
Properties on bad font substitution version (I expect the circled are the issue):
Any help would be appreciated.

Strange Font issue - Adobe reader

Hi All,
First off - Thank you for your help.
I have a strange issue with Adobe Reader where the font is not correctly displayed correctly as compared to the original document. Document diplays in a strange font as per attachment.
I have removed and re-installed Adobe reader. Updated Reader to a newer version. Installed Adobe pro (licenced) and as a last resort - removed and updated local display drivers.
Issue remains as per attached image.
Is this due to embedded fonts? How do i fix this? Re-imaging the machine is no go at this point.
Please help!
Thank You,
L+G_Guy

Look at file > document properties > fonts and see if any are listed without the word "embedded" or "embedded subset" against them.
If a font isn't embedded and isn't available on your system, Adobe Reader will try and substitute another one - but it often looks strange. Aside from that without seeing the actual file we can't help, and of course Adobe Reader can't fix missing fonts; you have to either recreate the original PDF, or install the fonts on your computer.

Issues with Adobe Reader with Windows 7

I'm having big issues with Adobe Reader. It won't open/display PDF files and closes on it's own!

Not sure if it can help you but I believe you have NVIDIA driver on your machine. Which version it is?
Many tumes issue is seen with NVidia drivers on the machine. Not only Reader but other major apps also crash due to issues in this module.
Please update the NVIDIA graphics card drivers. More information is provided in the below links

Please let us know if you still face this issue.

How do I use snapshot or copy and paste an image in Adobe reader with windows 8?

Two things:1) how do I copy and paste images from a PDF into an email? It will not let me do it anymore. Also, how do I save a PDF document with all it's content? Now when I save a proof part of the content is not there when opened in CS6.

Check the document properties; is copying allowed?

Printing with Adobe Reader in Windows 8?

I am using Windows 8 which automatically took me to the new version of Adobe Reader. You know, the clean screen with no toolbars. However it's not apparent where to go to print the document that autoloads in .pdf format. The hidden toolbar that comes up at the bottom doesn't have a print icon. Thanks for your help. Drinian256.

No point in me starting a new thread.
I have yet to find another one on the same issue - but i'll keep digging.
Installing adobe reader for Windows 8 seems to force us to install as an app.
I am unable to find anyway to print from this app.
Any ideas?

Authorisations to run Adobe Reader under Windows 8

Under windows 8 with adobe reader 11, I have not been able to launch the program. Each time the system says I don't have the authorisations required (even when I follow instructions to get additional authorisations which I seem unable to obtain despite using the normal sequence of "properties" , "security" " advanced etc. and in this case I get the following message in the "target" slot"
The name "c:\program files\adobe\READER 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is not valid. Verify that the routing (?) and the name of the file are correct
when I click on the Security tag although the location of the programes of Adobe Reader 11 are in fact in the location detailed above. It would seem that windows 8 has a security system that I don't seem to be able to adjust. (I have used Acrobat under Vista and under XP without these problems) . At the moment and after three days of efforts I am still incapable of getting Reader 11 to run..

(a) After installation of Reader 11.0, the following text appears on the
screen after either double clic on the screen icone or clic on c: directory
(c:\programmes\adobe\Reader 11.0 :-
Title: Reader 11.0
Vous ne disposez pas des autorisations requises pour acceder à ce dossier
(Translation (not on screen): You don't have the authorisations required to
accede to this file)
(There are two tabs ("Continue" and "Cancel")
If one clics on "Continuer" the screen reads:
Reader 11.0
L'acces à ce dossier vous a été refusé. Pour acceder à ce dossier vous
devez utiliser l'onglet de securité :
Translation: Acces to this file for you has been denied. To acces this
file you should use the "Security" tab.
One tab: "Fermer" (Close)
If one then does a right clic on the Reader 11.0 screen icone, and then
clic on "properties" then clic on "Security", I get a listing of "groupes or
users" which for this computer gives the following : "System", "John
Willis([email protected]"), "Administrateur (rulepar\Administrateur),
"Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs), "Interactif". Each of these has a check
mark against "Controle Totale",
"Modification", "Lecture et execution", lecture", "Ecriture" and the three
"rulepar" entries each have a check mark against "Autorisations spéciales".
If one clics on the tab "Avancé" then
on the "Autorisations tab 'john willis ([email protected]_
(mailto:[email protected]) ), 'Administrateur (rulepar\Administrateur), "INTERACTIF",
"Administrateurs (rulepar\administrateurs), "Systeme" all have "Controle Totale"
, "Interactif" has "Lecture et Execution" and "Administrateyr
(rulepar\Administrateur) and "john willis ([email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) )
have "Special"
on the "Partage" (share?) tab there are two entries (Type = Autoriser"
Principal for "Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs) and "Tout le monde
(everybody)
on the Audit tab there is nothing and on the Acces Effectif page there is
"Select a user but nothing else.
The title of this page is c:\users\Public@Desktop\Adobe Reader XI. lnk

Adobe reader issues windows 8 Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly compo

adobe reader issues windows 8 Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {B708EB72-AA82-3EB7-8BB0-D845BA35C93D}. HRESULT: 0x80070422.
I have tried many things to try to install it and I have been unsucessful. Please help I have windows 8 64bit.

This did not resolve my issue, it actually made things worse. I did what
you had told me to do below, and it did not work. Tried to access the
internet to respond back to you and my computer was not able to reach the
internet. Tried reaching adobe support and not was able to, even tried
calling was on the phone for 20 minutes and no one answered. I was not able
to re install windows. Contacted Asus from another computer and they were
not able to help me reinstall windows They had asked me to ship my computer
back to them, due to them not being able to resolve the issue and help me
reinstall windows. I luckily had a backup on my external hard drive and was
able to reinstall windows 8. Spent over an hour and half trying to fix
that. Here I am still not able to install adobe reader. I was very unhappy
with what I was told to do and it gave me this issue.
· Open an Administrator command prompt: Right-click Start > All Programs >
Accessories > Command Prompt and select Run As Administrator. Click Allow
for the elevation prompt
· In the command prompt, type the command below:
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
The line above assumes that C: is the drive in which Vista is installed. If
it is installed on another drive like D:, change the drive letter
appropriately.
· Restart the system.
· Install Acrobat or Adobe Reader again.

How do I get rid of embedded adobe reader process windows and taskbar icons?

In the lastest versions of Adobe reader I've come across the issue of finding an adobe task bar icon and a small adobe reader process window for each PDF document that I have open witin an Internet explorer tab. This is driving me crazy. At first I thought it was jut an issue with the machine that I'm on, but I have now seen this happen in multiple computers. Anyone have any ideas on how to keep these from clogging my screen and taskbar?
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Internet Explorer version 10.0.9200.16686, and Adobe Reader 11.0.4.

Group similar buttons on the taskbar
Taskbar buttons represent open programs on your computer. When you have several programs open at once, the taskbar might seem crowded with buttons. To help organize the taskbar and save space, you can group similar taskbar buttons so that all of the open files from one program are grouped into one taskbar button, like this:
Grouped taskbar buttons
Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Taskbar and Start Menu.
Select the Group similar taskbar buttons check box so that it is checked. (To turn off grouping, clear the Group similar taskbar buttons check box.)

How to insert pdf file to adobe reader in windows phone 8? which directory?

How to insert pdf file to adobe reader in windows phone 8? which directory?

An other way is to copy the pdf with Windows explorer into the path /documents of the phone. Open Office and choose Adobe Reader. The pdf will be copyed in the Sandbox of the Reader and You may read it. You may delete the PDF in the documents path. It will still be in the Readers sandbox. All without any cloud ;-)!

How do I stop pop up that asks me, Do you want to save changes to doc... before closing? I have made no changes only printed the file. Using Adobe Reader DC, Windows 7 64 bit.

This is very annoying and we need this stopped as we have made no changes to any of the adobe files. Please advise how to do this.
Customer Service DCC

I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
Thanks for your help.

Adobe Reader for Windows Phone without WVGA restriction needed
