Font changes when converting MSWord to PDF

Sometimes when I convert a MSWord documents to a PDF, the font changes slightly on pages where there Figures.  The font appears to be in bold.
How can I convert to a PDF and achieve a uniform look for the font throughout my documents?
I used MS Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat XI.

Are the fonts graphics or actual vector fonts? It may be that you are using a bitmap font also. If it is a true vector font, then there should be no pixel issues.

  • Font change when converting a Word File

    I write documents using heading styles to automatically generate Tables of Contents, using Word 2003.  When I convert the document to PDF, everything is normal.
    When I transfer the same file to my laptop, which uses Word 2007, and try to convert the file to PDF, the TOC and Heading fonts change from Arial to Times New Roman. (The rest of the text stays in Arial).
    What am I doing wrong? 
    The version of Acrobat (X) is used.

    Are you stating that the file previews correctly and only changes upon creating the pdf?
    Are you creating your pdf via printing to the Adobe PDF Printer or creating pdf via the Word button?

  • Font changes when converting Word doc to PDF

    I have Acrobat 9 and MS Office 2007. When I convert to PDF a Word doc with Heading 1 set to Arial Bold, the Heading 1s does not convert correctly. The font style, size, and bold all change. If I change the Heading 1s to just Arial the Heading 1s convert to PDF just fine. Any else run into this?

    Yes.  I found it will work okay if you select a regular font and then select bold.  Don't select a BOLD FONT type.

  • Why did my font change when I uploaded a PDF to Acrobat?

    I uploaded a PDF file to Acrobat so that I could open it in a URL. However, when I opened the file (on both Acrobat and in the URL format) the font had changed on the majority of it.  How can I fix this back to the original font?

    Hi anj1832,
    Do you know whether the fonts were embedded in that PDF file? You can check by opening the copy that's still on your computer  (not the one that you uploaded) and choosing File > Properties and clicking the Fonts tabs. If the fonts aren't embedded, you are most likely experiencing some font substitution issues.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • My font changes when I export to pdf, not on every page but only a few pages

    I am using the font Helvetica, light in my iBook.  It looks the same on every page in iBooks Author, but when I export it to PDF some of the pages look like they are written with font Helvetica bold.  Can anyone suggest a fix?  Thank you

    A number of threads dealing with issue have been posted over the past two weeks or so, I suggest a search may help you and also check out the More Like This column on the right.

  • Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word?  They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

    Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF?  It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

    Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

    If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes.  Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

  • When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the numb

    When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

    Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

  • Word 2003 crashes when converting to a PDF in Acrobat 9.3.1

    OS                    :   Windows XP Pro SP3
    Acrobat Version:   Acrobat Pro 9.3.1. 
    M.S. Product     :  Word 2003
    Not every file will crash Word 2003 when converting to a PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 but this particular file and some others will produce the following error:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    %%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: )  '$ $ $ &$   ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    The co-worker was receiving the same error in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 before we updated her to AAP 9.1.3.
    I have read some other threads similar to mine but none of them answer the question well enough to try anything listed there.  My co-worker can email me the Word file and I can print the file to my Adobe PDF printer just fine.  I have Acrobat Pro 7.0.
    Can anyone give me help on the cause and or solution to this problem????

    Hi,
    - syntaxerror indicates the file contains unintelligible PostScript code.
    Any discussion of postscript errors, seem to consistently point to:

  • Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

    Hi everyone.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
    I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
    I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
    When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
    When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work.  For example.  I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text".  The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
    Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
    Thanks.

    To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
    Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
    Summary:
    1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
    2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

  • Double print in one line,when convert spool to PDF

    The form is created by smartforms.
    I have tryed many ways,retype the text or start a new line,all didn't works.
    So could any one tell me how to solve this problem.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for your quick response.
    I used the program you mentioned to download spool to PDF.The download file is like the link picture.
    And the form will not overlap when I print it immediately.But it will overlap the first line when preview or convert to PDF. My user don't want to print it immediately they want to save it to PDF.
    I know maybe there is something wrong with the format, I tryed retype the text but it didn't works.

  • OneNote 2013: Font changes when pressing Enter / Return key

    I have the same problem as this guy (who didn't get a relevant answer): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/233833f7-dde8-414d-bdca-604ed8d57667/onenote-2013-font-changes-when-pressing-enter-return-key?forum=officeitpro
    I set my default to Calibri 14, but every time I press enter (I make a lot of bullet lists) the font changes to Calibri 11. 

    Hi,
    Did you change the default font after you typed a few words in a note container?
    Setting the default font in Microsoft Office OneNote affects text that you type in new note containers only. It does not affect existing text or text that you add to existing note containers.
    If you want to change the font in an existing note container, you need to change it manually under
    Home tab > Basic Text.
    Thanks,
