Acrobat XI - Century Font Text Correct on Screen, Some Text Blank on Print?

I just upgraded to Acrobat XI Pro. Now when I print a Word 2010 document containing Century font to PDF (Acrobat XI), all of the text appears on the screen. When I print the PDF file to paper, some of the text disappears and shows as blank space. If the font is changed to a more common font, e.g. Times New Roman, the text both displays and prints. When I use the "save to PDF" option in Word, rather than the "Print" option, the document containing Century font both displays and prints. The same thing happens with WordPerfect files, so it doesn't seem to be limited to Microsoft Word. Different machines, different installs, different printers all act the same. The file printed correctly in Acrobat X.
Thoughts as to why I can't "Print" to PDF from a document using Century font and then print to paper? There must be some difference in printing to the PDF print driver and "Save as PDF."
Windows 7x64; Acrobat XI with the 01/08/2013 update; Microsoft Office 2010. WordPerfect X5. Embed all fonts set to on. Rely on system fonts only set to off. HP laser, HP color laser, and HP Deskjet printers.

I checked the document properties, and it reported that the font was embedded. I also have the font on the machine, so if it did not embed, it could have pulled the font from the machine. Really strange. It's not like it's missing certain characters. There will be five or six words that are simply blank. The same words or characters appear other places in the printed document. Guess I'll have to just write off Century and stick with some of the other fonts that don't exhibit this behavior. Funny, though, it was not a problem in Acrobat X.

  • Some barcodes blank in print preview, but printed correctly

    Hi,
    Very strange behaviour in a customers system - normally smartforms with barcode 128 are previewed and printed perfect. After a two monts productive use, customer reported a problem with preview - few barcodes are not previewed (showed as blank on form), but printed correctly. Count of problem barcodes is less than 1%.
    For example:
    - 'FLAGU01Z_01' barcode is previewed correctly
    - 'FLAGRO00Z_03' barcode is blank on preview
    Any suggestion about this?
    Thanks in advise,
    Hristo Hristov

    Hi guys,
    The catch is, when re-printed, it already appears. But after the batch job has been completed, this does not automatically appear.
    This involves, output type of a delivery.
    Thanks for your reply!

  • Acrobat 9 Pro: Message "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display page correctly.

    Hi everyone,
    I posted this in September: "Over the past week, I have received pdfs from 2 different graphic design contractors that do not open correctly in Acrobat 9 Pro. There is an error in the document and when I scroll to the page where the error is, I get: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person hwo created the PDF document to correct the problem." I did this, and the contractor remade the pdf 3 times, and I still couldn't open it. This contractor is already using CS5. For the problem today, I haven't asked for it to be remade yet--decided to see if I could find out if anyone else is having the same problem. The second contractor is using CS4. The only thing that I have done differently at my end over the past week is upgrade CS4 to CS5. I already had Acrobat Pro 9 so I didn't update it when I updated my CS5 products. Should I have upgraded Acrobat 9 anyway? Somehow, it doesn't feel right that this is the problem. Any info on this would be appreciated."
    I got one response from that posting, suggesting that the pdf was corrupted over email. That wasn't the problem.
    What I didn't say above is that whenever I got an error message upon opening the pdf and clicked OK, I got another message: "Insufficient data for an image." I found that one or all of the images in the pdf were missing. Upon further investigation, the contractor and I found that sometimes the error message pointed to a specific font used--that being a Helvetica Bold font. Once we substituted it with a Helvetica Neue LT Std Adobe Opentype font, we no longer had an issue.
    However, the problem rose it's ugly head today--what, 6 months later! I'm talking about 2 different pdfs this time.
    For PDF#1, I got this error message about the font: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'JNAGNS+HelveticaNeueLTStd-Bd'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."  When I click OK, I get another: "Insufficient data for an image." The images don't show up in the pdf. What I don't understand about this pdf is that this is one of those that was fixed in September. The only changes made in the document was to paragraph text--none to the text in the images. When I opened the revised pdf today, I am getting the same message again. This makes no sense.
    I returned to my September blog to see if any further advice had been posted, but nada--not even anything from Adobe about it. I goggled until I found where someone suggested running a "Report PDF syntax issues" analysis in Preflight. I did that and even though the analysis showed the pdf passed, I checked the fonts in the list and saw that the one pointed to in the error message showed that a long list of glyphs were missing on both pages of the pdf. I have asked my contractor to replace her font with a new one, in case it has gotten corrupted. Haven't a new pdf to open yet.
    Then when I opened PDF#2, I got the message: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person hwo created the PDF document to correct the problem." When I ran the "Report PDF syntax issues" analysis in Preflight, I found got this warning: "Invalid operand(s) for operator (1 match on 1 page)". I clicked through and under "Page Description Errors/Invalid operand(s) for operator", it identifies Operator Name, Stream State, Operators Read, and Traversal Path. Under "Trigger Values" is says "Invalid operand(s) for operator: is true". None of this means a thing to me so I can't figure out what the problem is.
    Let me say this: Both the contractor and I are using CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9, on Lion. If it helps, the contractor also sent one of the problem pdfs back in September to my boss who is running Acrobat Pro 9 on Windows 7 and she got the same messages.
    Does anyone out there have a suggestion for us? PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Thanks to all for posting suggestions. As it turned out, the contractor who was having a problem reinstalled Acrobat 9. She works from home and is emailing the pdfs to me. Things were running smoothly until this past week, when the problem started again. Whenever I get a pdf that won't open properly or print, I asked her to zip it and it is no longer a problem. Last week, I had the same problem start with a contractor in Florida and she also zips the pdf when there is a problem. Now I am thinking the problem might be at my end. I wonder if something is happening to them when they come through our firewall at work. I asked IT about it before but they didn't have a clue what the problem might be. Right now, zipping is the answer...who knows how long that will continue to work.

  • PDF looks fine on screen but text does not print

  • Text Size When Printing Comments Different Than On-Screen

    Hello.  We are supporting an end-user with an unusual problem.  They are able to make sticky comments fine and adjust the font size on screen.  However, when this user goes to print either to a physical printer or a PDF, the font size of the comment is different (smaller) than what is shown on screen.
    On-Screen Example:
    Print To PDF Example:
    Is there an option to match the text size of the printed version to that of the on-screen?  Even if the printed text size can be bumped up just a bit, it'd be greatly appreciated.  The font size when commenting on-screen is 18 Arial but it seems like the printed version is more like 10 Ariel.
    Thank you.

    Just tried the latest version of Adobe Reader and the same issue occurs.  Making the on-screen font size 70 in the Commenting Preferences field makes NO CHANGE when printed (comes out at about 10 / 12 point font).  Even the Print Preview doesn't show the larger font so there's some setting getting lost when you go to print.
    Talking to our client, this problem likely coincides with Adobe updates that were pushed out.  This is easily reproducible (anyone with an up-to-date version of Adobe Reader can do this) but doesn't seem to be a fix.
    Any help out there?

  • For Acrobat 9. TouchUp Text tool does not work.

    Acrobat 9. TouchUp text tool does not work --- even on documents created with my computer using installed fonts. Problem 2: when trying to export to Word 2010 there is no option for format .dox, only .doc which belonged to earlier versions of Word.

    Hi Begin,
    I have the same issue, I am not sure which version so I had on my old computer but when I got a new windows 7 64bit, and asked IT to install Adobe, my life turned upside down. now they asked if I need X or 9pro and I though 9pro is the latest and greatest.. they installed the standard first then could not edit then asked for the pro and could not edit ... now I search and maybe version X will edit but if the document is signed and we do need to do lots of editing after the signature then what is the solution??
    I hope the Guru in Adobe can help here soon please :-)!!

  • Acrobat/Indesign does not export correct into the selected output intention (eci_iso_coated_v2_300)

    I use the CS6 suite with Acrobat XI at windows platform.
    When I want to save a file from InDesign as .pdf with output intention eci_iso_coated_v2_300 the result is a .pdf with more than 300% ink coverage.
    I tried to transform the result in Acrobat XI into this standard output intention, but also the result has more than 300 % ink coverage.
    What is the reason of this bug?
    Before with Acrobat X this worked without problems

    Hi Rob,
    I was told the new way to work would be to draw files via Bridge direct into the InDesign file
    and I thought automatically the color would not be changed.
    my colourmanagement setting in bridge for the whole CS6 was  ECI isocoated_V2_300
    The Illustrator file was saved without color profile.
    In this test file I used 3 kinds of black: background of pirate in cmyk 79,34 / 72,78 / 59,38 / 79,88 = ink coverage 291 %
    DÜSSELPIRATEN in “black” (if you would convert this in the file with the cmyk button it would be the same ink-percentage as before
    “e.V.” was set to 100 % k
    I set the preferences for Acrobat from InDesign CS6 as pdf X4 with profile eci isocoatedV2_300 in three ways:
    no color conversion
    convert to profile
    convert to profile keeping existing values
    in all tree files the pirates background has 322 % ink coverage instead of 291 %
    Why does Acrobat convert “black” in the wrong way?  If I click in Illustrator on the 4c button to convert the “black” into 4c it is 291% ink
    Acrobat should come to the same result with all profiles: iso coated V2 and iso coated V2_300
    The same happens also by saving as .pdf X3 or .X1
    The minimum what I expect is, that Acrobat reduces ink coverage for black to 300 %
    I also made test with the new ECI profiles for laminated prints from 2012.
    And with newspaper profiles
    In this case the ink coverage comes below 300 %, but only when I choose convert to profile.
    And then the 100 % k converts to cmyk, what I don’t want to have with text.
    Is there no way to reduce ink coverage below a special percentage without changing Text 100% k
    And is there a bug in Acrobat XI with the ECI IsoCoated_V2_300 Profile? For there is no color reduction below 300 % in all conversion settings.
    I can’t test this with Acrobat X or IX, for my computers with this software don’t run with CS6 64 bit.
    enclosed you find my files

  • Why Adobe Acrobat is not recognizing text on black backgrounds

    I was surprised when I first discovered this. I thought Adobe was supposed to have the best OCR software in in the world, I tested in on few backgrounds, white text on black background - not working, yellow text on black background - not working..
    I was disappointed, I had to use onlineocr, which did better job than Adobe Acrobat, it discovered all kinds of texts, bold fonts, text on multi-colored background - things that Acrobat OCR couldn't recognize..

    Hi Anubha,
    Thanks for your help.
    In Finder ...... > Twain Data Sources I found two files, "Canon MP980 series Network.ds" (1.9Mb) and "Canon MP980 series.ds" (2Mb). Next to Kind for both it says "Application". I don´t see the word "Package" or "PowerPC" or "Universal". However, under Where, it says "Macintosh HD>Library>Image Capture>TWAIN Data Source. This is also the same information I find on my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.10.3), but still running Acrobat CC (not upgraded yet, thankfully). I can still scan using my MBP.
    I was able to scan using Image Capture.
    I did not have time to go through the procedure of logging in as root user.
    Frankly, this seems way to complicated. There has to be an easier fix to the problem.
    I also checked Canon´s website for updated driver files, but there are none for Yosemite.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro text box not printing and is hidden under box highlight.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.13.  I am completing a form with text box throughout the document. I can no get the text box to printing and the text is hidden under box highlight.  I have tried printing with the print feature 'Comments & Forms/ Document and Markups' with no luck.

    It's doing that because you have field highlighting enabled. YOu can either turn it off or make the field read-only (if it's only used for display and not entry).

    My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

    If you are running Mac OS X 10.7.3 then you have Lion installed, not Snow Leopard. It's probably not important to this discussion, but something you should be aware of.
    What application are you printing the PDF files from? Have you tried opening the PDF file using the Preview application that can be found in the Applications folder? Does the issue still occur? Have you tried other PDF files from a different source?
    Another poster in the following discussion thread reported that this method resolved their black blank PDF issue when viewing (and presumably printing) PDF files from Safari.

    This solved my question by mcbuffy  on Apr 20, 2012 11:29 AM 
    There's a solution if you want to see the PDF inside Safari's window :
    Go to the folder : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins.
    If you see a file with PDF in its name drag it to the trash.
    Quit and restart Safari to test with a PDF.
    If it works you can empty the trash.

  • Apex 4.1 different font text in Reports Region and Interactive reporting

    Hi everybody,
    In my APEX 4.1 page, I have two regions using the same ''Reports region" Template but font text are different. Why The first region is an interactive reporting. The second it's a report. I know that each one has his own data for sure but the same region template .Spaces between colons are different. Is it normal ?  I want to have the same font text for the two regions.
    Thanks in advance. Bye.

    Legacy themes are flagged with a "*" in the theme gallery. Standards mode themes are not. (I don't have access to APEX 4.1 at present to be able to identify specific themes.)
    Properties of interactive report components, is it possible to take a look on this properties or it's a "black box" ?
    You can either look in the global APEX style sheet, or (probably more usefully) use a browser web inspector to examine the CSS properties of the IR components in the page.

    Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, isn't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen.  Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document.  Any ideas?

    Figured it out.  It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat.  Here's the fix:
    Open Finder/Applications
    Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
    Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
    Quit Safari
    Launch Safari
    Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.
