Document prints with unexpected font/characters

Does anyone have any suggestion on what could be causing my documents to print unexpected characters (See example at link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1208515/img-401083122-0001.pdf). I'm on Windows 7 with the latest version of adobe reader.
I'd appreciate any help or advice.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Pat.The original document is being opened from from a webpage within firefox using the adobe reader plugin. I tested the same procedure within chrome and the document will print without error. i guessing thats because chrome has it's own internal pdf reader.

Adobe Form's First Page printing perfectly on 132 column sheet but further pages prints with small font size

Dear All,
We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.
efforts made:-
Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.
Regards,
Ashkar Rizvi

See my answers below:
a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

Fillable fileds are printing with garbage font, rest of form prints fine.

I've downloaded an application to be filled out and printed. When I print the application, I get some garbage in the fields that I filled out. The rest of the application looks fine. The whole thing looks great on the screen, I just can't print it.
Thank you

One re ing.
If I choose the "Adode PDF" printer. The document prints the garbled font, and the fillable fields print fine.....

When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added

When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added. Why does this happen?

Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.
Thanks again for helping me resolve this problem.

Documents Print with Blurry Text in Acrobat Pro 9

I'm running Acrobat Professional 9 on a Windows XP machine. I recently upgraded to version 9 from version 7. When I print files in color in version 9, the documents come out with bold-faced font and the text is a little blurry. The document prints fine in grayscale. I printed to the same printer from a different computer, using version 7, and the document prints correctly in color. What can be causing this problem?

... I've heard that Adobe is still going to be supporting Acobat pro 7 for another year or so before dropping it.
"End of Life" for Acrobat 7.x arrived some 15 months ago.
See: http://www.adobe.com/support/products/enterprise/eol/eol_matrix.html#86
The "special consideration" grace period ended some 13 months ago.
See: http://blogs.adobe.com/adobereader/2009/12/adobe_reader_and_acrobat_versi.html
You may want to engage in the process of funding and executing the purchase of licenses for a supported release of Acrobat.
Be well...

My Oracle Support documents print with text cut off on the right margin

Just a question to check if more people have this issue. When I try to print a document from the knowledge base on My Oracle Support (MOS) it always prints with a lot of text being cut off on the right margin of the page. I tried this with different workstations, OS'es (XP Pro, W7), browsers (IE6, IE8), printers, etc. but it's always the same result. My only workaround is to copy all text and paste it into a text editor. I've logged a service request for this, but Oracle doesn't really seem to care about it and after pointing me to setting margins in Microsoft Publisher (???) and an article on how to export tables on MOS, they pointed to the HTML version of MOS (which has exactly the same issue by the way) and our local IS department for printing preferences. Apparently they cannot replicate this on their workstations, whereas I can replicate at will on a load of different workstations. I know that it's best not to print on paper and read on the screen, but even printing to a PDF writer will cut off text. Does anyone have the same issue with printing documents from MOS?

Printing problem when PDF is sent to the printer with certain fonts - missing text

I'm running into a printing problem when PDFs containing certain characters of the Calibri font are used. The text in large sections of the PDF is missing on the paper version, but the text is there on the screen. It's also happened when the PDFs we created were e-mailed out to a client and printed on their printer. The problem is not present when printing directly from the programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, etc.). I've been trying to get tech support from Adobe on this, but every time I call they apologize and say they will call back in 4-6 hours with an answer. Same result each time, no call back. If anyone from Adobe is listening, it's case number 184891587. The font appears as an embedded subset when I look at the document properties. Sometimes deleting one or two Characters allows for larger text blocks to be printed - i.e. removing a long dash in bold from the heading of a paragraph makes the paragraph reappear when printed to paper from PDF. In all cases the PDF appears correct on the screen. Printing as an image allows the text to appear, but the image quality isn't acceptable for small text, even at the 600 dpi setting on the printer. If the PDF is sent out by e-mail, we do not have control over the end-user's printer setup anyway, so we need this to work in all cases.
The setup/process I'm using is as follows:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit
Microsoft Office 2013 - problem is present when printing documents from Word, Excel or Visio. Even other variations on documents.
I've tried Acrobat versions 11.0.0 to 11.0.5 as well as Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 and 11.0.1. Same Result
Printing to Adobe PDF as the printer, from the third party application
Printing to a Xerox printer from PDF using Acrobat - Text missing
Client prints to Konica printer - Text missing
I print to the wide-format Ricoh (which also does 11x17) and the text is present.
Is there something I'm missing? Is the entire font not getting embedded into the PDF file? I noticed that rolling back to a much older version of the Calibri font (1.02 compared to 5.72) makes the problem mostly go away, but it's not completely gone. Is it possible the font is too large to be completely embedded? Where can I go from here?

Success! At least for now. It looks like my problem was fixed with Adobe's most recent update, 11.0.06. From the release notes:
PDF creation
Added support for Lotus Notes 9.
Added support for WebCapture in IE 11.
Added support for conversions from AutoCAD 2013.
3652540 A blank pdf is created for files having hidden visual style.
3601108 Flow Chart converts as a multicolored square.
3654345 Word documents missing parts of images in conversion to PDF.
3654572 Temporary file size increases when creating pdf by combining multiple files into one PDF.
3670155 PDF file created with Distiller XI prints incorrectly to some printers. (Emphasis mine)
3599407 Checkbox check marks do not appear in these files.
3663233 IE Web Capture in localized OS: Icons and drop-down menu items are missing and conversion dialog is not localized.
3651931 Chrome Only: Few web pages when converted to pdf from Chrome plugin doesn’t show up the Save As dialog.
3597910 EPM Mode On: Web capture is not working on Windows 8-32 bit when cache folder is missing.
3610644 Firefox 23.0: With Firefox version 23.0 (latest), the WebCapture icon shows up very dim as if it is disabled.
3650244 ODA falis to convert DWG files to PDF for large files.
I don't know if that's definately what solved the problem, but it sure sounds similar and this is the update that made the printing problem go away. We can't get the PDFs to fail at this point with our printers, even with Calibri 5.72. I'll come back to thread if we have printing problems at the end-user locations.

Forcing printing with a font installed on the Mac

I need to be able to override the built-in font on a PostScript printer.
I know this was an option on the LaserWriter 8 driver for Mac OS 9, but it appears to be missing under Mac OS X.
The main reason for this need, is that the Arial font built into most PostScript devices differs from the Arial supplied with Mac OS X. In particular with regards to punctuation and accent characters.
Any hints, tips, or pressure on Apple to re-introduce this feature would be appreciated.

Symbolic fonts really need to be embedded, you can't rely on local display.

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.

Prints with wrong font and drops letters. Preview shows font correctly.

I'm having problems printing some pdfs in Leopard. The preview shows correctly but the resulting printout is in the wrong font and has missing letters. Specifically every time there are two 'f' in sequence they get left out.
Printing the same files on Tiger or even (Sigh) Windows yield the correct result. I've tested this with 3 printers (OKI C5800, Canon iR5000 and Canon iR C2620N). All with the same result.
The pdf in question were created with LaTeX.
Has anybody experienced something similar? What could be wrong?
I can provide the sample .pdf file if necessary.

After upgrading to Leopard, I was having trouble with my Samsung printer (ML-2150). Samsung hasn't upgraded the driver since OS 10.3, and it doesn't seem likely that they will ever do it. I found that the Linux-Foundation has an open source driver, which is compatible with a lot of printers. I downloaded the three components, and my Samsung is working perfectly now.
I would suggest that you give it a try, here is the link:

[CUPS] Documents print with no margin on top of the page

Hello people!
I'm having a weird issue when I print documents. Whatever I print, from whatever application I print, it seems that the top margin is reduced. For instance, I have PDF documents with a one-inch top margin. The margin appears to be okay on the on-screen, but does not appear when printed out.
I've tried playing with the options in the GNOME print dialog, to no avail. I also tried reinstalling my printer's driver, also to no avail. I have read something on the Internets saying it has to do with KDE print dialog, but I don't use KDE. I have kdebase installed, though.
Anyhow, let me know if you have any thoughts and/or need any info.
Thanks!

Printing with Adobe reader produces blurry fonts

Hello,
I've recently bought a Canon Pixma MP220, installed and updated with the latest drivers for OSX 10.4 from the Canon website.
When I print pdf documents with the Adobe reader (8.1.2), the printed fonts are really blurry and the speed of the printer is slow, even for black/white text-only documents.
The same document printed with Preview looks fine and the printer is faster than the previous case. Note that the printer configuration is the same in both cases.
Other applications, such as Word 04, print fine; so it seems an Adobe related configuration issue. Any idea?
Thanks,
Vittorio

I was thinking this part onward...
"Adjust resolution for copied images
Image resolution is always an important consideration when copying and pasting data and when viewing images on screen or on printed pages. Screen resolutions are optimal at 72 pixels per inch (ppi) at 100% size. If you zoom in to a 72-ppi image, you quickly see image degradation. If you want to print documents containing images, 72 ppi is insufficient for almost every printer. You need higher resolutions in order to print images that look satisfactory.
You may want to copy images or page data in Adobe Reader at higher resolutions than the standard monitor view of 72 ppi. Adobe Reader has a special setting that lets you capture data at different resolutions.
To capture data at a user-definable resolution:
1.
Open the Preferences dialog by pressing Ctrl/Command+K.
2.
Select General in the left pane. In the Selection pane, check the Use fixed resolution for snapshots box (Figure 4).
rdratimages_4int
Figure 4: Check the box for Use fixed resolution for snapshots.
3.
Change the number in the Resolution box. Type a number—like 300—that might be used for printing images at better quality.

Document prints black with grey shadow

I have a HP Photosmart C4480 All-In-One, running Vista 62-bit, Windows 9. After copying and pasting an article, the document printed with black and a shadow gray, like 2D. I printed a test sheet and it came out beautiful. I am current on all updates. Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hi there adriana13,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Where are we copying from and to? Does this happen with only one source or multiple sources and what kind of files are we using?
