Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica with a serif font under Ubuntu Linux 8.04

Hello,
after an upgrade to Ubuntu Linux 8.04, the following problem occurs:
Short description:
Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica with a serif font (Adobe Serif MM).
Long description:
A font that is not embedded in the PDF should be replaced by a similar one that is available on the system. In particular, sans serif fonts should always be substituted by other sans serif fonts. However, Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica (which is sans serif) with a serif font (Adobe Serif MM).
Prerequisites:
Operating System: Ubuntu Linux 8.04
Adobe Reader Version: 8.1.2
PDF-Document: uses Helvetica, but font is not embedded
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Regards
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
It used to work in 7.10 because by default, we used to cache all font-config fonts on every launch of the reader. But, in 8.1.2, in order to improve the launch timings on systems which have large number of fonts, we have made caching of font-config fonts optional through the use of the flag that you mentioned in your note (ACRO_ENABLE_FONT_CONFIG).
Thanks,
Shilpi

  • Adobe Reader X is not showing barcode font

    Hi there,
    I'm generating a pdf with a GS1-128 barcode with IDAutomation fonts.
    I noticed that Adobe Reader X does not display this font.
    Previous version do!
    I attach an example: the font should be visible in the appropriate box present on the second page. http://www.ingmezzina.it/pdf_no_barcode.pdf
    Is there any solution to this problem?

    I'm having a similar problem, everytime I launch reader or if I try to open a PDF it crashes on my winxp sp3 PC with a visual c++ runtime error and closes. I can't even get to any preferences or anything in time.

  • How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'?  And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open?  When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99.  I never wanted Acrobat.  How can I get -

    How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
    Please reply to my e-mail:   [email protected]

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

    Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

  • Adobe Reader 10.1 with some problems

    To Technical support,
    Dear sirs,
    I have some problems with Adobe Reader version 10.1.
    Once installed Adobe Reader, version 10.0, I found the problems listed below:
    When I open Adobe Reader 10.1, and check the "Task Manager" (Ctrl + Alt + Del), the process appears Adobe Open twice, taking increasing a lot of memory space.
    When attempting to view the following pages, Adobe Reader closes or crashes by itself, and can not continue.
    I have already installed it in other computers but the problem remains.
    What can be done to not happen anymore?
    Working with Technical Documentation
    PS. I'm using this version because of the tools to highlight text and make notes.
    thanks
    yours sincerely,

    You have posted to a user to user forum.
    Sometimes Adobe staff visits and provides a response to a question.
    However, they do not provide formal technical support.

    With that said, two processes for the Adobe Reader is associated with Adobe Reader's "Protected Mode".

  • Help with MS Serif font

    I tried to convert a few ID CS4 files into pdf. I am getting a following error:
    MS Serif: the font could not be embedded because it is missing.....
    I could not find MS Serif font in my computers. I have no idea whether this is ttf or Type 1 font. Could someone tell me where I can find this font? James

    But the error did not give any option to replace the missing font with times new roman. The exact language of the error is as follows:
    MS Serif : this font could not be embedded because it is missing its font outline file. Adobe Acrobat requires the outline file to be installed for correctviewing and printing of the file.
    View addtional errors?
    Yes, No, Cancel.
    Is there anyway to suppress the popping up the error message?

  • With CSS, what font does Ubuntu Firefox substitute for Palatino?

    Hello,
    I am using the following declaration in my CSS:
    .serif {
    font-family : Palatino;
    I do not have Palatino installed on Ubuntu. I like the font that Ubuntu Firefox is substiuting for Palatino. How do I find out the name of the font that is being substituted for Palatino?
    Regards,
    PhaseMaster

    You can right-click text with that font and use "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and check the font on the Fonts tab.

  • Cannot install Adobe Reader 11.0.09  and Asian Fonts over older versions

    I'm using a script to install Adobe Reader 11.0.09 and it works sometimes, but very often, there is an error saying it cannot install it because a previous version exists.
    We have to manually uninstall older versions of Adobe Reader 11 and then re-run the script and then it works.
    @echo off
    cls
    start /wait msiexec.exe /i \\appserver1\Apps\AdobeReader\11.009\AcroRead.msi /qb TRANSFORMS="\\appserver1\Apps\AdobeReader\11.009\AcroRead.mst"
    start /wait msiexec.exe /i \\appserver1\Apps\AdobeReader\11.009\fonts\FontPack11009_XtdAlf_Lang.msi /qb
    How can we change this script so that it will force installation over any previous version?
    By the way, the installation was created with Adobe Customization Wizard and has settings enabled to remove any previous versions of Adobe Reader.  So, the problem with installing over existing version could be from the Font Pack installation,

  • How do I get Adobe reader to work with Mozilla or internet explorer? I cannot open files unless I download to my desktop.

    When I try to read PDF files I get a message that says" The Adobe Acrobat Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Exit and try again. This happens with bot Internet Explorer and Mozilla. I can only open if I download the document to my desktop.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think when we got our windows 7.

  • Search Server 2010 Express: Open a PDF document from list of search results invokes adobe reader client application with error

    Hi community,
    I set up search server 2010 express on a windows 2008 r2 server.
    The Adobe PDF iFilter 9 64 bit is installed and search is correctly configured to find PDF-files.
    When doing a search and clicking on a link of the result page, the PDF is not opened in the browser, instead the adobe reader XI client application (11.0.04) is invoked and an error raised like "could not open document .. check syntax of url..."
    Right click on a link to open in new tab works fine. And PDF-Files from other arbitrary Internet Sites opens in browser correctly. Moreover when configure Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 as default application on the client it also open in Browser correctly.
    I noticed googling the web there are several challenges when dealing with PDF-files in sharepoint. The following settings are made so far:
    1. In IE: Add-On to open PDF in Browser is enabled for all sites.
    2. Client Integration is enabled
    3. The OpenControl attribute in the DOCICON.xml is left empty OpenControl="" for the pdf entry.
    4. The Browser File Handling is set to "Permissive".
    Please feel free to ask for more information if needed.
    I appreciate any help on this. I don't know what to do further.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Before responding to your points I want to give a little more context:
    We have an intranet based on pure html and a little aspx containing many of those pdf- files. By clicking on the links in the intranet the files open correctly in browser handled by the adobe plugin. Now we set up this search server crawling the file system
    accessed through a share to the root folder of the intranet. In the search server settings a host mapping rule is applied to replace the file://[share] with http://[intranet host+domain+port] to access files over http.
    And now to answer your question. The resulting urls are the same, copying the link from intranet and copying the link from the search result (except some case issues).
    The event viewer not seem to show any errors on this, though I'm not very familiar using it.
    If any further information are from interest and any ideas come to your mind - please let me know.
    Thanks.
