Acrobat X Pro - Loading System Fonts

I installed the software this morning and it has been "loading system fonts" for hours. I got this message when I tried to edit document text... I've tried to restart the system twice and it hasn't worked. Has anyone else run into this? How do I fix it? Does it really take this long to load my fonts?
Thanks

What is your operating system?

  • Excel 2007 to Acrobat 9 Pro cell fill / font issue

    When attempting to convert a workbook from Excel 2007 to a pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro, the cell font color prints slightly lighter than the cell fill color, even when the colors are the same - amber, green or red.  Never had an issue previously until now.  Not visible within the file, only when printing.  Any insight or suggestions are greatly appreciated! 

    Thanks for your reply Bill@VT.  I am converting using the Acrobat addin in Excel.  I read your e-mail and played with some of the Excel sheets.  The problem seems to arise when I am converting a landscape page that has been reduced to fit on one page whether by percentage or by fit to x pages by x pages.  I have tried various settings and in print preview they all look just fine but once I click the convert but the page size grows.  I am wondering if this is not an Acrobat problem but rather an Excel problem.

  • My mac book pro load system and not show icons only show pointer

    my mac book pro load system but not shows icons only show pointer

    Can you open Applications by navigating to the Applications folder via the Finder? When you write that your computer doesn't show icons, do you mean your Dock icons? Can you see the Dock as all?
    Need just a little more information...

  • Acrobat XI Pro loads as trial version, not registered version, after MB & CPU swap, it is registered

    I have been a registered user of Acrobat since version 3.01. Never had a problem until now!
    The CPU on my MB died last month so I had to replace the CPU, MB (and I upgraded the memory).
    When I rebooted the new system (with my existing hard drive) Acrobat XI Pro now shows up as a trial version. Not regsitered, which it does show up as on the the Adobe website.
    What should I do?

    Thank You
    I am not PC illiterate, been building them there thangs fer nigh on 25 years.
    I don’t know how you could have responded within 2 minutes, unless your last name is Adobe.
    I was just afraid to try in case it got me into deeper water.
    Suspecting that you might be a member of the Adobe team or a very loyal Adobe fan (to have responded so quickly) I went for it.
    As you knew, yes it worked but I don’t feel foolish, sometime the better part of valor…, etc.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Acrobat 7 Pro - Comment Summary Font Issue

    We have a situation involving font usage in comments in Acrobat 7 Pro that I hope someone can shed some light on. It will be some time before we can move to version 8 or 9, so the problem is important to us.
    Here's the symptom, then I have a few basic background questions. The text in a Note comment includes a 'less than or equal to' symbol which appears correctly. The problem comes when the comments are summarized to a PDF file or printed. The 'equal to' portion has now disappeared! I first thought that this might be a font issue, but now am unsure.
    My basic questions are:
    What font is Acrobat using when a comment is created? I realize that you can set a preference for which font to use when viewing comments, but apparently not when creating them?
    When a comment summary is created to a PDF file, what determines which font is used in the summary? We have seen cases where the resulting PDF has used Arial or Tahoma or SimSun or.........
    We have had at least one situation where opening the same Acrobat 7 PDF in Acrobat 8 Pro did not exhibit the problem when summarized there. Was this a known issue that was repaired in Acrobat 8?
    Thanks much for any information you can provide.

    Hi David,
    This is a known issue with Acrobat on Mac.
    Please follow the steps mentioned in the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/blank-eula-screen-appears-acrobat.html

  • FontExplorer X Pro corrupting system fonts (mainly Helvetica)

    Yosemite, Clean Install
    I recently installed a trial of FontExplorer X Pro because I thought it was about time I moved up to a professional font management tool.  Shortly after installing it, and importing my fonts, things started to go haywire.  As you can see below, Messages.app, websites (GoDaddy.com pictured) and Mail.app display a strange A-in-a-box character in place of what should be actual, legible copy.  I have been trying to work with FontExplorer's tech support but they have been unhelpful so far, not to mention it takes them days to respond.  I believe I've (so far) narrowed this down to HELVETICA and I'm sure it has something to do with Mac OS X now using Helvetica Neue throughout the System in place of what used to be Lucinda I believe
    I'm just at a loss for what to do.  I can't seem to get my system fonts back in order.  I've tried uninstalling the software, and starting over, and nothing has helped.  I can clear the Font Cache, restart, and then everything is fine...but as soon as I open a document with Helvetica Neue in it, everything else goes haywire again.  Deactivating Helvetica Neue is not an option.  I am a graphic designer, I need Helvetica for nearly everything.
    I would appreciate any suggestions at all, thank you.
    Messages.app: The timestamp is replace with these characters.
    Safari/Godaddy.com: All the text in the login area are the same character.
    Again, in Mail.app, this contact's signature is completely unreadable.

    Anyone? No one from Linotype has been able to answer my questions either.
    Like I said, the problem started after I upgraded from 10.6.6 to 10.6.8. The same issue occurs on 2 different computers both running 10.6.8, even though one of them is a fresh install.
    I've tried resetting the FontBook by booting into Safe Mode, but even that doesn't fix it. However I'm now able to add metadata and create sets, but only for system fonts (i.e. anything with a lock icon).

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Callout Tool Font Problem

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.  I'm trying to change the font and center the text in a callout tool box.  I've tried everything and can't get the font properties to appear.  When I select the properties all I can change are properties related to the box itself, not the text.  When I highlight the text in the box, all the properties are greyed out.  Any help would be much appreciated!

    Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this.  First download the updated
    Distiller ICC profile files at:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
    Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
    c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
    These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
    This solved the problem for me.
    This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys...  folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc).  Once you add these three files to  c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color  you will be good to go.
    It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing.  Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.

  • Acrobat 8 Pro, Incorrect Bookmark Font (Asian)

    Somehow when I try to bookmark a PDF in English, the bookmark uses the incorrect font (Asian) even the I've told the
    Adobe Preferences that the document is English.  Any ideas how to correct this super aggravating problem. There
    was another post on this same problem but no reply. I am doing research and need to bookmark scientific journals.
    thanks
    S

    I never got this figured out. I had to manually type every single entry to change it from the Asian font to English.
    At least now I know that I'm not the only one dealing with this bug. It's too bad no one else has been able to offer a solution.

  • Which fonts (if any) are included in Acrobat XI Pro (student license)?

    It was mentioned to me that rather than buying only the licenses for a few fonts I am interested in, I should consider purchasing Acrobat XI Pro as the fonts may come with the package. However, nowhere can I seem to find out if any fonts indeed come with Acrobat XI Pro. Can someone please advise? Thank you.

    Acrobat is not one of the Adobe products that comes bundled with a bunch of fonts.
    Buried within Acrobat's resources are a bunch of fonts to support PDF usage in various non-Latin character set languages, but these are not available for use by other programs as-installed.
    By the way, student and educational licenses of Adobe products come with the same resources as those for full commercial license use.

  • Acrobat Adobe Pro X: font issues

    When I open files in Acrobat Adobe Pro X, the font is not clear. Can I fix that?

    It depends on several things. First, try Edit>Preferences>Display and select smoothing.
    Check the fonts that are used in the PDF (use ctrl-D>font tab) and check that they are not bitmaps. Usually you want true-type, type 1, or open-type fonts.
    If you zoom in and the fonts are pixelated, then you are looking at bitmap fonts or possibly just a picture.

  • "No System Fonts Available" when fonts are embedded

    I'm a writer using LaTeX to produce PDFs. I recently started to use an editor who uses acrobat for editing.
    I have sent him a PDF with all the fonts embedded [full fonts embedded, not just subsets], and the fonts show up that way on the "Fonts" tab of the properties box.
    However, when he goes to edit it in acrobat, the error "No System Fonts Available" shows up.
    Why is acrobat unable to edit a PDF that it fully admits has the fonts embedded?

    Embedded fonts means the metrics for displaying the fonts is within the PDF but not the fonts themselves. This is also why cutting can pasting text with embedded fonts sometime results in little squared indicating an unknown or unmapped character for a given character code. You also do not have the embedded fonts available on your system.

  • How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

    I tried to use "Edit Document Text" Function. There is an error pop-up as " All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.". How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

    It is referring to the fonts installed on your computer - to edit text within a PDF you must have the same font installed (i.e. one with the same PostScript name). Acrobat doesn't have a separate way to load fonts, you install them in the normal way through your operating system control panel after downloading/purchasing the font files from a vendor.

  • Acrobat X Pro does not recognize system font

    I scanned a document to pdf, opened it in Acrobat X Pro and then applies OCR to the image by clicking Edit in the OCR dialogue and chose ClearScan. I then went to edit the text, but when I clicked on a selection, a TouchUp dialogue box popped up stating, “All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.”  The font used in the document was Arial 10 pt. Does Acrobat not recognize that font? Is there any way to edit this pdf's text?   

    I still haven't got a sense of what exactly you are after, since you are not only talking about settings with visible OCRd text. But my results partly support yours, partly not. My tests were with Acrobat X, your mileage may vary.
    OCR with searchable image... the image contained standard fonts, which I could freely edit. No problem, except of course that the results didn't change on screen. I could also correct OCR suspects, which is the editing Adobe are expecting you to do.
    OCR with cleartext... the image contained generated fonts, which I couldn't change. I don't see this as a security thing, rather that Acrobat has generated synthetic fonts which match the exact appearance of the scan, and has no idea what the original font was. I can't edit these, because I don't have the font. (If it let me edit them I suspect it would fail horribly, because the generated font will only contain the letters it believes to be there, not other ones you might need). I can, however, select the text and change the font, then edit the results. There were no OCR suspects, which I find a little odd for the same original, but the OCR was indeed more accurate.
    By the way, I may not have made this comment: editing PDFs is sometimes possible, but it should always be thought of as a desperate last resort. Just be happy the few times you can use it, don't expect much or anything, and you won't be disappointed. If you want to edit scanned text (as opposed to correct OCR) don't scan to PDF.

  • Failure to down load CC Acrobat DC Pro for a second time after a system recovery

    Failure to down load CC Acrobat DC Pro for a second time after having to perform a system recovery.
    The previous 'DC Pro' is not showing as not being an installed program.
    When trying to perform the update again an error shows in the Creative Cloud window 'the download appears corrupt please try again in a few minutes(26).
    Trying again both in a few minutes and after a restart the same error message shows again.
    What next?

    check the dl'd file size vs expected file size to see if you're getting a completed download.
    also, you can try a different browser and/or different wired connection and/or a download manager.
