Acrobat v8.1.2 Word 2003 Vista x64 embedding fonts without subset?

Acrobat v8.1.2 Word 2003 Vista x64 embedding fonts without subset?
Relative newbie: Every time I create a pdf from a 330 page Word 2003 doc file I end up with a very nice pdf file with all the fonts embedded as 'Embedded Subset' when I was simply hoping for 'Embedded'.
I turned off embedding altogether in the Word Options and it didn't make any difference.
I have cleared:
Printers / Adobe pdf / fonts / Subset embedded fonts when percentage of characters used is less than...
I also have the pdf Converter Advanced Options / True Type Font set to 'Download As Softfont'
..and the Postscript Output Option set as 'Optimize for Portability'
.."Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts." is unchecked
Any suggestions? tia

Well, I was following instructions on a website on how to create a pdf and a printscreen showed the Acrobat fonts window with just 'Embedded'.
The instructions were a little vague, to be honest, and I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. The pdf is going to a Print on Demand publishing house so I suppose it may well end up in any printer's you care to name in any Country you care to name...

  • Acrobat PDFMaker addin in Word 2003

    After Upgrading from Acrobat 8 to 9, the addin in Word 2003 is missing and word did not start properly until it automatically removing whatever was left of the former addin. I am trying the manual installation but I cannot find the ".dot" file needed, only the .dll for Word2007 is available but for that it was automatically installed without problems. I work with Win XP64. I have upgraded acrobat 8 to 9 because the pdf printer was not working after some time. I've been told the same was observed with acrobat 7, but reinstallation of the acrobat was much faster in that earlier version. I read and download pdfs with a suite of internet browsers everyday and I have had many problems, such as missing fonts, incomplete downloads, freezing of the browsers, reinstalling web browsers several times, shutting down frozen adobe processes, etc.
    Thanks for your support.

    Hi,
    maybe you want to delete both programs!
    Restart, check that everything is clean.
    And reinstall first word then Acrobat!

  • 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.

  • Word 2003 - Acrobat XI Std. - autotext normal.dot - unable to change

    After installing Acrobat XI Standard at Word 2003 i can not Change the Autotext entries at normal.dot.
    Before installing XI Acrobat 7 with the ppecial patch was installed, but since the last Windows 7 Update, Acrobat 7 did not run.
    What can i do?
    Thx

    Hi, the installation of the Acrobat was completely normal. After installation, I could not make any more changes to the text blocks / autotext, that are stored in the files normal.dot. Word makes no changes to the file normal.dot when closing of Word. I uninstalled Acrobat again and the changes of the text blocks normal.dot are again possible. Something in Acrobat blocked the storage of text blocks.

  • Acrobat X Pro: No PDFMaker tools in Word 2003

    Hi all,
    Although Adobe says that Acrobat X is compatible with Word 2003, PDFMaker did not install (in Word or any other of my Office apps) when I installed the Acrobat X Pro package today. No ribbon, no add-in menus, nothing.
    I have tried manually adding the .DLL COM add-ins, but all I get is Word saying that it's not a valid add-in. Acrobat is not on the disabled list (no apps are), but it just will not install.
    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, Office 2003, CS4 Design Standard and newly-installed Acrobat X Professional (and yes, I uninstalled Acrobat 9 Pro prior to installing X).
    Any help would be appreciated. I know I can just print to the PDF printer, but that will not include the in-document bookmarks I need to generate.
    Thanks.

    They do indeed indicate it should be compatible. When you say it did not install, I assume you simply mean there is no Adobe menu in WORD. You will have to go to place in WORD where you permit other macros. Typically what happens is that it does not show because WORD has not allowed it in their system. That is an option you must activate.

  • Word 2003 crashes when converting to a PDF in Acrobat 9.3.1

    OS                    :   Windows XP Pro SP3
    Acrobat Version:   Acrobat Pro 9.3.1. 
    M.S. Product     :  Word 2003
    Not every file will crash Word 2003 when converting to a PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 but this particular file and some others will produce the following error:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    %%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: )  '$ $ $ &$   ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    The co-worker was receiving the same error in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 before we updated her to AAP 9.1.3.
    I have read some other threads similar to mine but none of them answer the question well enough to try anything listed there.  My co-worker can email me the Word file and I can print the file to my Adobe PDF printer just fine.  I have Acrobat Pro 7.0.
    Can anyone give me help on the cause and or solution to this problem????

    Hi,
    - syntaxerror indicates the file contains unintelligible PostScript code.
    Any discussion of postscript errors, seem to consistently point to:

  • I can't create pdf files from word 2003 files in acrobat 9 pro any more

    Until recently, i was able to make pdf files from word 2003 documents using the "create pdf from file" in acrobat 9 pro. Combining several word documents into 1 pdf was also a piece of cake.
    Now, this doesn't work any longer. If i want to select the files, office 2003 files are no longer listed in the supported file formats.
    See the picture below

    Try running a Repair Installation on Acrobat (via the Help menu).

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Problems converting word 2003 to pdf

    When I print word to pdf, the resulting pdf document has missing text and paragraphs.  The only way I seem to be able to fix this is to uninstall and reinstall the original software.  It is driving me mad.  I have done this about 20 times now.
    Can any one PLEASE help.

    Hi there
    It doesn't seem to matter how I do it, whether it is creating pdf by file print method or convert to pdf.
    It also happens when I print as pdf through MYOB.
    Windows XP Professional with SP3, Word 2003 with SP3 as part of Microsoft Office Pro 2003 and Acrobat 9.0 Pro Extended - Version 9.4.5.236.
    Am getting pretty desperate.  Would really appreciated your help.
    I have attached a page for your reference.  All the coloured rectangles should contain text as per the first.
    Kind regards

  • Converting pdf to Word 2003 in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.  I want to convert pdfs to Word 2003.  I have followed the instructions to export to Word, but when I get to the dialog box that selects the conversion method, I choose Flowing, which is recommended, and click OK, and I get an error message that my PDF document may be corrupt.  This happens with every pdf, whether it is a form downloaded from the internet or a text document I have created myself.  If I try to convert to RTF instead, it makes the "conversion", but in doing so, it creates a file containing an image that is not editable -- it does not create a plain text, editable file.
    Is the problem that I am using Word 2003?  Word 2003 is not on the list of file formats to which the pdf can be exported, but when I get to that screen, I choose Workshare PDF in Word (which I believe I read somewhere is the correct choice for conversion to Word 2003) as my selection and it gets me to the "conversion method" screen (which gets me to the corruption error message). Again, even if I choose rtf, I do not get an editable document.
    Any ideas???

    Something to try -
    Export the PDF to RTF.
    Open the RTF file with Word Pad.
    Save As (perhaps to a new filename -- 'something_bis.rtf')
    Open this file with MS Word.
    Not particularly surprising that the PDF you posted behaves poorly when 'worked' with Acrobat.
    It is an output of Ghostscript.
    Compounding the awkwardness of export is the fact that the PDF is not a Tagged PDF.
    A significant raison d'etre for Tagged PDF is to support export of PDF content to a word processor application.
    Be well...

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 still can't convert Word 2003 files?

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/673769 is a link to the same discussion a year ago.  There was no option for me to add a reply, so I had to create a new discussion here.
    HAS THIS PROBLEM BEEN FIXED?  Fujitsu's pdf printer S1500 comes with a full OEM version Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, which I just installed.  Immediately it caused problems with Word 2003, just as the above discussion link illustrates.  Clearly that's a problem with Adobe Acrobat not being able to read SOME fonts.  Where is there any bug fix for this?
    Why would a customer want to upgrade Adobe Acrobat, if he can't get font support?  In my case, it appears that GREEK FONTS are not supported, which makes no sense, if the fonts are installed in Windows.  The pdf-converter knock-offs like Smart Creator PDF Pro can convert just fine -- so why not Adobe Acrobat?  Who wants to pay more for Adobe, if it is worse?
    So again I ask -- has this problem been fixed?  Very unprofessional, if the answer is 'no'.
    Very unproductive, too.  I spent hours on computer crashes, reinstall uninstall detect and repair, just like the posters in that thread above, from a year ago.  Businesses don't need this kind of aggravation.  IS ADOBE EVEN LISTENING?  Very unprofessional, if the answer is 'no'.

    First, this is a user-to-user forum and not one for Adobe. They are sometimes around, but not on a regular basis. The lengthy discussion in the link did not apparently get folks to a solution. I did not see your handle in the discussion.
    Two common errors were suggested, one the color setup and the other was font errors. Keep in mind that just because you have a font, it might not be able to be embedded in the file. That is due to copyright restrictions. The font file has to have the permission built into it to be used. That may be the case for any font that you download from another source. Most of the MS fonts are licensed for embedding.
    Also, just because you have a font with the same name, does not mean it is the same. There are often multiple versions of the fonts, some that are useful and others not.
    Out of the linked discussion, I have no idea what issues you are having -- there were many. I use AA9 with OFFICE 2007 and have no problems. I also use AA8 with OFFICE 2007. For AA7 I have a machine that runs OFFICE XP (2003). None of these have issues. To be able to help (if we can at all) it is necessary to track down the conditions when the problem occurs and possibly try to replicate it some. A few folks mentioned 64-bit systems in the linked discussion. The 64-bit systems have caused a lot of problems and generally require the updates for proper opertation.
    From the point-of-view of trying to fix things without delving into the specfics, all I can suggest are a repair and then updates to the latest version of Acrobat. The updates should be able to be done from the Help menu, but if not from there you can download them from the Adobe Downloads>updates site.
    Probably not considered much help at this point, but I really don't have enough information to home in on the problem. It may be that my copyright comment about fonts is really the issue (you should get an error message from Distiller if you print to the Adobe PDF printer that suggest the problem. As far as other packages, if they do indeed embed copyright fonts that do not have permission, then you are technically violating the law, even if allowed by the software. I have no idea if that is the case, but it is a possibility.

  • Word 2003 always asks to save the normal.dot since Acrobat 9 was installed

    Hello,
    Until Acrobat 9 Standard was installed on the 5000 PCs of our company, the following issue never occured.
    As soon as Acrobat 9 Standard was installed, our users started to complain of messages asking them to save the normal.dot every time Word 2003 or Outlook 2003 if Word is used as editor, is closed. And even if they save the normal.dot, of course, next time they are requested to save again.
    And if we uninstall Acrobat 9 Standard on the PCs concerned, the issue dissapear... and reappear if we re-install it.
    So, the issue is clearly linked to Acrobat 9 Standard.
    Of course, the Word 2003 option "Confirm to save the normal.dot" is NOT checked.
    It doesn't seems to happens on all the PCs but we can't isolate the commun point between those which have the issue.
    All our PCs are made by ghosting so are pretty similar, with Windows XP SP3 avec Office 2003 SP3... and now Acrobat 9.1.3 Standard.
    In case that would help the diagnostic, on the PCs without the issue, the message doesn't appear, but, still, the behavior of the normal.dot changes : the time stamp changes every time Word or Outlook is closed. Before the install of Acrobat 9, the timestamp was not changing everything, but only of changes were made.
    So, I guess Acrobat 9 Standard (probably the add-in for pdfmaker) forces the saving of all the .dot everytime Word or Outlook is closed.
    Can you help us ?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply, but the issue is the same even when Word is not the default editor in Outlook.
    Regarding the Office 2003 and Acrobat 9 updates, we are already up-to-date for Acrobat 9, but it's true that all our PCs have not yet received the SP3 for Office 2003, so it may be a trail to follow.
    But I think the issue also happens even on some PCs with most up-to-date Office 2003, so I'd say it's probably not the solution.
    But it doesn't seems that this kind of issue is widly encountered (I mean elsewhere than in our company).
    So there is probably something specific to our environnement. And since we pretty much "lock-down" the PCs (to avoid users to mess with it), it's not impossible that some restrictions somewhere on the PC causes the issue... at least to some categories of users who are missing some authorisations.
    But I'm sure that when we uninstall the "Adobe PDFMaker" component (in add/remove programs), the problem dissappear. So we are probably going to adopt this "solution" to make the steam goes down among our annoyed employees... until we'll find a better one.

  • Word 2003 - Acrobat menus disappear for some (not all) documents

    I have a user who is having a very bizarre issue with Word 2003 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.  When he opens some Word documents, the PDF menus disappear.  They are immediately restored when he closes the document or creates a new document.  We've tried repairing and uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail.  He uses several custom templates, but they are applied at startup to all documents.  Any other troubleshooting ideas?  Could the fact that he's using Word 2003 instead of 2007 be causing the problem?
    Thanks

    More information: I just checked the version of the file I had on my hard drive, and it's doing the same thing there. However, the other similar documents in the same folder on my hard drive are not behaving this way, so apparently it's not specifically
    a SharePoint issue.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.2 crops text when converting from Word 2003

    When converting a Word 2003 file to PDF, using either PDF Maker or directly from Pro 9, the converted file crops a few lines of text at the top of some pages. Converting the same file by just printing to PDF is a work around, but this method does not create bookmarks, so is not preferable.
    I create an updated version of a particular file monthly, using the old file as a basis.  The file will always have tracked changes in Word which are all accepted before converting the file, and the file always has a watermark, which is removed in Word and the file saved before converting to PDF.
    Now here's the weird thing, if I remove the watermark in Word, save the file and convert to PDF, the cropping occurs.  But if I leave the watermark in the saved file, convert to PDF and remove the watermark in Acrobat, no cropping occurs! This is an OK work around too but I'd rather not have to do the workaround at all.
    I've tried all the variations and settings I can think of, but I still end up working around the problem every month.
    Any ideas?

    They won't show up unless
    you have click on each text box
    Go  Format  > Shape
    click on lines
    chose desired line color for the borders.
    once the Borders a colored they will show up in the created PDFs.

  • Acrobat 8.1.5 on Vista x64 problem with PDF Printer

    Hi all
    Forgive me if this is a newbie question... I *tried* to get direct support from Adobe and they spent the time telling me my support had "expired" rather than answer the question... nice... so thought maybe someone knows the answer.
    I have the latest version of Acrobat 8 on Vista x64.  Anytime I use the "Adobe PDF" printer to print direct to PDF from an application, the PDF gets produced OK, however the print spooler for this printer retains a print job with status "Error - Printing".
    The only way I can remove the job is to do it manually and a lot of times I have to Cancel it twice for it to work.
    Any ideas how I can stop this from happening?
    Thanks
    Steve

    Thanks... will give that a try and report back...
    Reporting back... nope it did not fix the problem.  But the repair process did damage the install of Acronis True Image so that it wouldn't load... I did a Repair of that install too and at least now I am back to where I was...
    Appreciate the help.  Anyone else have other suggestions?
