Get the "cannot extract embedded fonts" error message

I get the "Cannot extract embedded font 'UZNVZW+HElveticaNeueLTStd-Hv-Identity-H'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." error message when I generate a PDF from MadCap Flare or Frame Maker. I am on Windows 8 64-bit / Adobe Acrobat 11 / FrameMaker 9 / MAdCap Flare 9.
When I do the same task on a Windows 7 system, works like a whistle.
I am looking at a solution and no workarounds.

Hi hartmanja14,
Please let me know if this is happening with all PDFs or any specific document?
Also, tell me if that document has been created by any third party or not.

Why do PDFs created with some print presets show the error message "cannot extract embedded font."

Whenever I create a pdf from InDesign using a press-quality preset, I get an error message upon opening the file. The error message says that an embedded font cannot be extracted.
InDesign indicates the font is not present in the file.
In Acrobat's properties, the font in the error message is listed and shows that it is not embedded, and that the actual font is unknown.
Running the "embed fonts" from preflight fixups doesn't help.

Found this fix in Preflight: Under prepress, I selected my destination, which is sheetfed offpress (CMYK) and ran the analyze and fix. The updated file opened without the error message.

Adobe reader cannot extract embedded font after pdf sent via outlook

We have some pdf files that open fine in Adobe Reader 9.1.3. Once we send them via e-mail (we use Outlook 2003), they will not open properly with the error message: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'TWDWSP+TradeGothic-Light. Some characters may not display or print correctly." When we click OK, another error message appears: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." If the files are sent in a ZIP archive, they open correctly, but not if sent individually as PDFs. Can someone help?

It's one of the reasons that it's not recommended to send a PDF via email without Zipping it first. Either the senders or receivers email client may use encoding to make the ransfer faster which can wreck PDF's.
Best bet is to Zip (as you've seen) the file first or post it to a web space and email the link.

Cannot Extract Embedded Font in PDF Report Generated Using Crystal Reports XI

The issue is that sometimes the PDF reports generated by Crystal Report XI are not showing the fonts properly. Arial font is used in the Crystal report template(.rpt file) for field label and data elements. When the report is opened in Adobe Reader, it displays the message - "Cannot extract the embedded font 'AAAAAA+ArialBold'. some characters may not display or print correctly." Other PDF Readers like Foxit show blank spaces instead. I tried to change the font to Courier New, Times New Roman etc but still getting the same message.
The issue is consistent when the application is deployed in Windows server. When deployed in Unix server the issue happens very occasionally. The font files are available and installed in the UNIX box.
Please tell me why this error message is shown and also tell me how to get it fixed.

Hi Scot
Just replied to your email re. conf call.
In the meantime.
1st question.
    Some of our developers are creating the reports under crystal 2008, while some are 2011.
    Could this be a problem, when they are run by the SDK?
    Should we upgrade all our developers to crystal 2011?
The version of CR a report is created in should not matter at all. I am 100% certain this is not the issue.
2nd question
    When the report is run, to create the pdf... why would it actually embed the font on the pdf?
    if they weren't embedded.. wouldn't it just pull up the proper font, if the user's pc had that font on their
    pc?
    if it does the common fonts aren't embedded, we would just have to worry about the things like
    barcode 3 of 9
I can not answer this as that essentially is the way the product is designed. It may look like a limitation, but there are no work-arounds and I would not consider this to be a bug. Perhaps an enhancement, but a pretty faint hope there. And even if, enhancements take very, very low priority and take long, long time before implementation.
3rd question
    Would the fonts, just need to be installed on the server?   we've seen some indication, that they
    also need to be in a java sub-directory
The fonts must be on the server as that is where the report engine does it's work, then the report is streamed to the user's browser. E.g.; there is no work done on the browser. Also, the process must have rights to access the fonts.
One last point. You mention deployment to Linux. Linux is not supported. Please see: SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Supported Platforms
I suspect this is more an issue with CR not working with the framework for Linux.

Word 2013 cannot open embedded .docx files

I am running Word 2013 64-bit as part of an Office 365 ProPlus install. I am unable to open any embedded .docx files. Double clicking launches the message "The server application, source file, or item cannot be found." Single clicking displays
the message "Double-click to edit Unknown".
I can open other embedded file types: doc, xls, xlsm. Embedded Outlook email files will open, but now display as OLE objects. Also the icon for embedded files now usually appears as the 'box with contents'.
Opening files directly in Word works correctly, the problem is limited to opening embedded docx files.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated...thanks. -JAmsUser

Hi,
“I am unable to open any embedded .docx files” - I would like to confirm that whether these files are new created or existing files which might be created in an earlier version of Office.
The error indicates that the connection between the embedded documents and the Office application has been broken. So what if you remove and re-embed it into the document? Embed it again might pick up the new mechanisms.
I'd also suggest you run an Online Repair and see if it helps:

Cannot open embedded Adobe PDF files in Safari 5.1

I am disgusted to find that Apple has removed Safari's ability to open embedded PDF files in Safari 5.1. This is a huge mistake by Apple, and the only work around from Adobe was to use a different browser.
Get on the ball, Apple!!! Fix your MISTAKES!!!

Ah...this is an Adobe issue, not Apple.

Error message: "Cannot extract embedded font..."

I have Acrobat 7.1 Professional with Windows Vista and until now have not had a problem downloading and reading any .pdf file. Today I tried to download brochures from a company's product line web page (example: http://www.ulsinc.com/products/ils1275/) and got an error message stating "Cannot extract the embeddded font UOYPQY+MyriadPro-Bold. Some characters may not display or print properly."
Well.that's an understatement. Nothing but the images appear correctly. All text appears as a string of dots.
I have combed your support pages looking for a solution to no avail. The closest I came was a forum entry about this problem in Acrobat 8. It points out that the problem doesn't occur in Acrobat 7. I'm afraid it does.
All other .pdf documents both on my computer and on other websites download perfectly.
A friend tried downloading the files on his computer. It worked perfectly. No error message. And all he has is Reader 9 (so do I).
I'm stumped. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Found this fix in Preflight: Under prepress, I selected my destination, which is sheetfed offpress (CMYK) and ran the analyze and fix. The updated file opened without the error message.

Cannot open embedded pdf files with Adobe Reader X

When trying to open pdf files embedded as an object within MS Word or Excel (Office 2007) it comes up with the following message:
"The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
I had no problems with AR v9.
Similarly, when I try to insert a pdf file as an object it comes up with exactly the same message.

Sure.
In Reader X:
Edit->Preferences->General->uncheck "Enable Protected Mode At Start Up"

Cannot open embedded PDF in word 2003

When I embed a PDF into a word document I get the following error when I try to open it.
The server application, source file, or item cannot be found
When I send this document to others they can open the PDF
Any suggections?

I am assuming you are using RoboHelp for Word. If so, you cannot embed files into your word source documents. Instead add the pdf as a baggage file, then on the word source add a link to the pdf file. After you compile the file, the user looking at help will click the link to open the pdf. If you are distributing the help on a server, make sure you include the pdf file. The server you place the pdf file on must also have a pdf viewer configured.

I cannot open the fonts or the color palette

I am unable to open up the color palette or the fonts. HELP

Could you provide more detail? Does Format > Fonts > Show Fonts not generate the Font Panel for you? Does View > Show Colors not generate the Color Palette? Does nothing at all happen?

Cannot open embedded PDF files within a PDF

Is there a way to open a PDF file (by double clicking) that is within a PDF file? The file was created in Word 2007 by inserted the pdf file as an object. I am using Acrobat Professional 9.

Can you insert the PDF file in the Word document in another format to make it clickable in the newly converted PDF?

Can't open embedded PDF from Excel

Our company recently upgraded from Acrobat Reader X to Acrobat Reader XI. Now we cannot open embedded PDF files from Excel. I am using Excel 2010, but I believe this is an issue for all versions. I get a repeated pop-up error message "Microsoft Office Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action". It appears the only way to stop the pop-ups is to stop all Acrobat instances from Task Manager. In Reader X, we had to uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" to be able to open embedded PDF files. I have had mixed results adjusting this and the "Enable Enhanced Security" setting in Reader XI. What is the right solution to this?

What have you tried? Ifmyou just tought the attachment, it will open in sort of a quick view mode. For all of the file types you mentioned. If you touch and hold, a small window will open and suggest other apps, if you have any loaded, that will also work with those file types.
So what happens when you tap an attachment?

Cannot extract the embedded font - Adobe Reader XI

Hello,
I have an XPS file converted to a PDF with an embedded font inside, when I open the file, as I scroll to a page having '&' in the text (that's my case, but it's probably the same with any special character), a message box shows up saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'HDGSLM+[my font]'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." and I can't see the special character in the page.
I checked that my font was actually embedded in the PDF (File -> Properties -> Fonts) and seems to be ok, normal characters look fine and the application doesn't say anything until I scroll to the page with '&' inside. Also, other PDF readers show the document fine.
I looked around the forum and saw that other people got the same problem and to them was a bug introduced in Adobe Reader 8.x, but nothing was confirmed by developers.
Can you help me? Is it a bug? If yes, is Adobe working on it?
Thank you.
P.S.
My Adobe Reader version is 11.0.4

Reader can not create PDF files, so you should look for bugs in the software that was used to generate it.
