Adobe Reader X Font issue

I'm new to the forum, so I apologize if this has been discussed already! I recently downloaded the newest Reader (X) and have encountered an odd problem. Files that I had saved and viewed with the older version now look "wrong". By that, I mean that the font appears jagged and uneven, as if I'm looking at a printed copy from a crappy printer. Indeed, when I print the files off (like something from an online journal like Nature) the resolution of it is unacceptable. I first thought my printer was on the brink, but when I looked at the file on my computer, it looked bad. The same files had looked fine and printed great with the old version. I'm guessing there is some setting that I messed up somehow. Any thoughts?
Thanks so much!

Thanks for the info. Maybe that would be nice to build into the Reader and/or Acrobat a function to check any existing installed Adobe versions on the PC and warn the user if there would be any incompatibility issue during the installation of a new Adobe product. Many no-name programs can do that............ The great Adobe no would be able to do that???????

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

Adobe Reader 9 - access issue

I have the latest Reader: but I find I cannot access PDF documents from saved emails & directly from My Documents - I get the message 'H:\programme files\Adobe\Reader9.0\Eula.exe Windows cannot access the specified path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item' I am computer administrator.
I have Windows SP3
I use ZoneAlarm Pro & anti-virus (just in case this might be relevant)
Can anyone assist with an explanation & solution?
Regards
D Willmot Smith

re Adobe Reader 9 access issue, 20 Dec
It appears this is not an Adobe Reader issue at all. I have had the same trouble downloading an update to an unrelated programme.
The solution appears to be in ZoneAlarm Pro - I have set the trust level and access permissions for Internet Explorer to 'super trusted' and 'allow' (programme control - programmes), and this seems to have worked.
Other forums point the finger at restrictions in IE7 Enhanced Security feature, and to similar restrictions in some anti-virus/anti spyware programmes. Also, some .exe files for download come automatically blocked, & need unblocking (right-click the .exe, choose properties, then general tab, where there is an 'unblock' button at the bottom.

Adobe Reader/Acrobat Printing Issues - Weird Fonts / Characters - all versions

Hi everybody.
I'm experiencing a very nasty issue with both adobe reader (last version) and acrobat.
When I print something with text, i get only strange characters, mostly symbols.
I cannot get out of this, I tried everything.
Already tried
1) print as image does not works, it's the same
2) the box in pdf printer " print only with fonts on pc" is checked
3) reinstalled both adobe applications
3) reinstalled printer drivers
4) i've installed and reinstalled those so called missing fonts but nothing
Next step is to change PDF reader. Any help?

unfortunately it didn't work.
It's weird how an application (company) like this could not provide those kind of such easy fixes. I'm not expecting updates or so, but at least a troubleshooting paragraph about this specific problem.
This problem is well known, there are plenty of pages talking about it.
I just installed Foxit reader and printed pages were perfect. This demonstrate's Adobe Reader/Acrobat fault.

Adobe Reader X font size change.

We are using Adobe Reader X. After a recent update, the toolbar has somehow increased in font size so that we can no longer use the navigation buttons. How do I change the font size of the program? It seems as though the entire program has increased in font size or has been zoomed in. I have already checked the resolution size on my monitor and nothing changed here would modify what was being seen in Adobe Reader X in order to return the tool/menu bars.

Nevermind. It looks like it was just a resolution issue on the monitor. They had the text font set to Large.

I'm working on a windows form using Visual Studio 2003(Dot Net Framework 1.1) and has got a PDF Viewer in that application to show the reports in PDF Viewer (Adobe Reader 7.0).

Adobe Reader 9 Displaying Issue

Hi All,
Right now I am using Adobe Reader 9 to display on the web page. While displaying the dynamic contents, its displaying Vertically.
Note :
1 . The page I have designed with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
2 . The page is portrait format.
3 . When I click the "Highlight Field Button" the text seems fine (i.e. Horizontally).
4 . I have to use this on the IE web browser.
I have written a javascript code to disable the "Highlight Field Button", it worked fine for me. But I think its not a permanent solution to this issue.
Could anybody tell me how to remove this "Highlight Field Button" from the Adobe Reader 9? (either by writing a script or by disabling from the Adobe Reader 9 features or any special things I need to consider)
If there is a problem understanding the issue then please let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Pranabesh

Hi All,
Appending to above disscussion, below were the two images I am attaching with this post.
Image 1 : Its a portrait view of the form, where the text in the fields are showing properly (Horizontal Orientation.)
Image 2 : Its a lanscape view of the form, where the text in the fields are showing properly (Vertical Orientation.)
Issue :
Why the texts are being transformed to verical manner while showing on the landscape forms?
Note :
1 . The page I have designed with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro in landscape orientation.
2 . When I click the "Highlight Field Button" the text seems fine (i.e. Horizontally).
3 . I using this form on the IE web browser.
4 . If I disable the "Highlight Field Button" the texts are back in their original orientation. But this is not a permanent solution to the above issue.
Could anybody tell me how to make the text visible in its original orientation i.e., Horizontally?
If there is a problem understanding the issue then please let me know.

Adobe Reader X - Print Issues

Hi - I've searched the forums for a likely answer but came up with a blank.
We have updated to Adobe Reader X and when we print a pdf, the actual words print as a series of randon numbers and letter. We print to an HP Photosmart All in One Printer. However when we print to a Cannon Printer, it's OK. Can anyone throw light on this for us as it's proving to be a nightmare.
Cheers

Thanks v much Twilight - once I had posted the question I saw the same issues were posted by another.
I'll try the print as image under the advanced print tab and see how I get on with that. Hopefully Adobe will bring out a fix soon.
Thanks again.

Adobe Reader/Acrobat forms issues!

This is a long one, and I know it's been posted before, but I just wanted to try again anyway.
I've just created a form using Adobe Designer, one that contains fields that someone can fill out when the form is open with Adobe Reader. The form I've created specifically is for a medical practice, and the first few fields are the doctor's last name, first name, and middle initial. Is there any way that, when I click Save As, a file name is automatically created in the Save As box that contains the last name, first name, and middle initial? I'd like the file name to look like this: LastName-FirstNameMiddleInitial.
Also, this is a form that the people who work at this practice will be using regularly. After the doctor's name fields are a few fields for the date, time in, and time out. Right now, we'd like the date to look like this: 07-16-2008. We'd also like the time in and time out to look like this: 12:00. I'd like it so that, if some data entry person at this medical clinic is tying in the date, and, say, they type in the date as 07/16/2008, it is automatically formatted to 07-16-2008 with the hyphens. Same with the time. Everyone types things in differently, and I'd love to know what I need to do so that it's automatically converted to the date/time design I listed above.
The form also contains an electronic signature field. The purpose of the signature field is mainly to expand on the services we offer in terms of going paperless. We want to help our clients STAY paperless, which means preventing the need to print off more paper. This form I'm working on is for a medical practice and is simply a doctor's form, with field for the doctor's name, date/time, a field for any info the doctor would like to input, and then the electronic signature field.
After the PDF is created, it is more than likely saved, which presents other problems, as I've now learned you can't save with Adobe Reader.
As far as looking up data on the form in the future is concerned, I'm pretty sure that's a big yes. I don't know that this particular PDF would be updated constantly, but I'm sure it will need to be retrieved at some point. How can the data be inputed so it can be retrieved from a database?
I've heard some talk about JavaScript in regards to this issue, as well. How exactly do I go about providing JavaScript? I know how to create a button in Designer, but I've had little experience with JavaScript. I've downloaded a program (PF Merge?) that might allow me to link the form I've created to a database, but I'm not sure how it works yet. Is that what you were referring to as far as our comments about an SQL database is concerned? Is there another way I can create a connection to a database, say, a slightly easier way?
Help!

Interesting. I did just do the Reduce File Size and extended the document and there were no dialog boxes when I saved my data. The file size got larger instead of smaller and I received the message at the end of the Reduce File Size cycle that said " Enforcement of compatability to an earlier version of Acrobat has increased the size of some images". There is an image in the file, not one that I added, but from the original document. No change to the image either. No biggie to me. As long as my users can fill out the form and come back to it later to make changes, I'm happy!
Thank you. I think that solved it!

Adobe Reader 9 Navigation Issue

When opening a pdf, the navigation panel on top disappears(changes) so that I cannot see how to close a document. My O/S is Vista Home and Reader Version is 9. I had just upgraded to Reader 10x ( I think ) and that is when this condition started - so I uninstalled it and installed an older version - Adobe Reader 9, and the condition is the same on both versions. Probably something I am missing. Can someone please give me some tips ?
Thanks

I am thinking Kaspersky might have something to do with this - but I Just updated it now and I still get the same issue - the issue also occurs on my laptop and I am running Windows 7 with Adobe Reader 10. I tried closing Kaspersky and still get the same condition. Still not resolved but thanks for your reply.
