Font embedding problem when re-saving pdfs in Preview

I love the new features in Preview. Especially, being able to reshuffle pages and to be able to add and delete pages to documents, and the improved annotation features.
This is what I did and encountered this problem. I have a pdf that I annotated and added pages to.
I re-saved the document under a different name. On Leopard, and also on a Tiger computer, the document looks fine.
I sent it to a client on a PC and the PC complains with this re-saved document that it "Cannot extract the embedded font 'HEMGNF+Sabon Italic'. Some characters may display incorrectly." This cryptic 6-letter name of the font can change by the way, in these PC-messages.
This only happens when I re-save the document in Preview.
Anybody else who's had this?

Update: Reader 8 on a PC displays everything fine, so it's a matter of updating

  • Font embedding problem when exporting to PDF

    I'm trying to export a 100-page catalog from InDesign CS4 to PDF. I've used Lucida Sans Regular throughout as body text. When I go to export, it says that this font can't be embedded due to licensing restrictions in the font. Thoughts? I've exported this catalog to PDF many times as changes get made and I update it regularly throughout the year, and I've never had a problem with this font (or any for that matter!)

    I just posted this message related to your question under another topic:

    It might have been more appropriate to post in response to you, Emily.  At the bottom of my post is a solution you can use, but it involves changing the font in the final product.  I also like Lucida Sans, and I've had this exact problem that I never experienced before the upgrade to CS4.  Unfortunately, the problem is not limited to Lucida Sans.
    I see you posted the original question back in August. I hope this is some help to you at this late date.

  • Font embedding problem PPT plugin Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hi,
    having just updated to Acrobat 9 Pro I encounter a font embedding problem when using the PowerPoint plugin (PPT2007) to create a PDF of my presentation. I am working under Windows 7 (64Bit) and use fonts from Mathematica (Wolfram). The generated PDF shows problems displaying the fonts, indicating that they have not been embedded (although font embedding of these fonts is set in the options). The problem does not occur if I directly print to the PDF printer - here all Mathematica fonts are correctly embedded (but this has other disadvantages since videos/animations are not integrated). The problem seems to be specific to Acrobat 9 since under Acrobat 8 everything worked correctly as well.
    Any ideas/solutions for that issue?
    Thanks & best regards
    Ralf

    Perhaps you may need to upgrade to version 9.2 (Acrobat support of Windows 7 begins at this dot release)?
    Be well...

  • Problem saving pdf from preview

    Since upgrading to 10.4.3 I have noticed that preview behaves strangely when re-saving pdf files. If I preview a pdf document and the use the "save" function to make a copy, the copied file is about twice the size of the original, and the Table of Contents data seems to be lost. I've noticed this for files produced from the TeX package, such as are on the physics electronic archives (http://arxiv/org). Any explanation would be appreciated! I realise that I could just save a copy directly, but it is sometimes handy to preview first, and I am a little disturbed to discover that preview appears to be changing pdf files unnecessarily when saving them.
    12" powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I can't help you, but I'm having the same problem with version 9.4.1
    I have been trying to "save as" some .pdf documents (monthly statements) from a financial institution, but it does not work when I right click on the file, or when I right click on the document.  Like you, I click on the "disc" icon, and nothing happens.  I was able to save these in August and prior, but not now.  It makes no sense.
    When I open these documents, they appear in a web window, not in the Reader software, so there is no tool bar showing "file", "edit", "view", etc, like what appearsw in Acrobat.  I'm stumped.  I posted this several days before you, but no replies yet.  I'm not real eager to pay $39 for the adobe help desk just yet.

    Can you help?  Thanks!

    How:  MS Word to .pdf by Command P, hitting the PDF button, and then the button for "save as Adobe pdf"
    I didn't have this problem at all on prior versions of Adobe on my PC.   This isn't a Mac attack, is it?

  • Transparency problems when I distort Pdf image size (ie: 100%x99%) then Export. Is there away to fix

    I sometimes have transparency problems when I distort PDF image size (i.e.: 100%x99%) then Export. Is there away to fix.   Or at least be able to preflight and know I have an issue.

    Mostly I have seen borders and drop shadows that will just go away or other wise not print right but only when I distort the image and only on very complicated large PDF images.  When I print it at same % both horz and vert. this problem goes away.

  • I have problem when transferring book (PDF/Epub) from Computer to iPad with the new iTune? Please Help....

    I have problem when transferring book (PDF/Epub) from Computer to iPad with the new iTune? Please Help....

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac. If you are trying to get it to the iBooks app then with the sidebar enabled the process should be similar to how it was on previous versions of iTunes e.g. add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync it to the iBooks app.

  • Saving PDFs from Preview

    When creating a PDF in Preview, that your non-Mac business associates will open in Adobe Reader, the resulting document is noted as an 8 1/2 x 11 page size (in Adobe's Document Properties), even when the original document is something else, creating print problems for those trying to print what was originally a large drawing.
    Saving the PDF was done in the Print dialog box, not the "Save As" dialog box (where other problems are created...namely, no image shows when opened in Adobe Reader).
    Any way to save a PDF in Preview and retain the original drawing size? There are several settings in Preview's Preferences affecting DPI and scale, and I have tried them all, in different combinations. None seem to affect the resulting page size, which somehow is a property known to Adobe Reader, but seems invisible to Preview.

    Are you talking about saving a C or D size dwg?
    In this case I had to create a custom size. However, I solved the problem by simply setting the correct paper size in the Preview Print dialog box, before saving as a PDF.
    Saving out of the "Save As" dialog box is still a problem. I note on the Adobe web site that a fully Leopard compliant Reader is not available until "late January". Maybe that will solve it.
    Anyway, thanks for chiming in.

  • Font embedding problem in PDFs

    Since upgrading to Leopard from Tiger-
    We are losing fonts embedded into pdfs, either saved through Preview or Adobe Indesign CS3.
    The preview of pdfs, both in the finder windows and in Entourage email attachments are missing fonts too. Sometimes opening them resolves the issue, but not usually.
    This has occured to both User and System level fonts.
    We have cleaned the font caches, but this only provides a temporary fix.
    We have tried not using our Suitcase Fusion and just letting FontBook manage the fonts on this machine, the problem still manifests itself.
    The only change in the equation from a perfectly operational machine was the change from Tiger to leopard.
    Any thoughts/help = greatly appreciated.

  • Problem with saving PDF in Preview

    When I open PDF file in Preview in OS 10.5. (make changes) and save it as PDF again, this pdf file does not display corectly on PC. Fonts are missing. When I save in Acrobat, everything is correct. I looked on the information about saved pdf, and Prewiev inserts some fonts to PDF. Acrobat reader on PC tells me, that some fonts can be removed and pdf may be not dispayed correctly. This problem is only in Leopard, because in Tiger was everything fine. Does anybody know any solution? Thank you.

    I see this same behavior, and it is a serious pain for us LaTeX writers.
    I have found a rather annoying work-around: if you manually close the file before re-opening it (Cmd-W), it will honor this "Start on the last viewed page" option and behave like it used to.
    Of course, then it starts off at the start zoom level... but, at least, with a large project, you're not having to opt-cmd-g ("go to page") and remember page numbers.

  • I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

    I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

    core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
    my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
    as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
    if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

  • Hyperlink problem when exporting to PDF

  • Margins problem when printing to PDF (Pages '09 v4.0.3 build 766)

    Hi,
    I don't know if this is connected to the latest Mac OS X v10.6.4 update, but some of my machines exhibit a very curious behaviour.
    + multiple pages A4 document
    + choose File > Print, click on "Save as PDF", under the PDF button
    ++ set pages 6 & 7 to print
    ++ set 2 pages per spread, so as to have Pages shrink the A4 document to somewhat A5, and have the two pages side-by-side on the same sheet
    ++ save the PDF
    Then, when I open the PDF with Preview, the margins are all wrong (i.e. too big, there's too much white running around).
    And from Preview's inspector, I can tell that the Page Size is set to US Letter, although in Pages both the document size AND the Printing Format are set to A4.
    The most curious part of the story is that my MacPro, my work MacBook Pro 13 and a white MacBook exhibit the problem, whereas my personal iMac 27" DOES NOT.
    And they are all running Mac OS X v10.6.4, with ALL the most recent updates, and the exact same version of Pages!!!
    I suspect that something has been changed in a framework somewhere, but I cannot figure out what it is...
    Any idea is welcome!
    Thanks,
    K2r

    I can do the same in TextEdit (although it's even more painful to control the margins!!).
    My problem is not that Pages won't put pages on one sheet; It's that the generated PDF does not respect the sheet physical size (A4 vs. US Letter), thus adding wider margins all around the document.

  • READ_TEXT: format problem when printing to PDF

    Hello everybody,
    I am using READ_TEXT function module to get long text then display to PDF format.
    I met a problem with format as following:
    The long text has bold format, for e.g.: This is bold text.
    The READ_TEXT FM will then read the data as: <H>This is bold text.</>
    When output to PDF instead of display as This is bold text., it is displaying <H>This is bold text.</>
    Please suggest me how to fix this.
    Thanks,
    Khanh

    Hi Khanh ,
    Below is the sample code for your reference .
    CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

    CLIENT = SY-MANDT
    ID = 'ZG01'
    LANGUAGE = 'EN'
    NAME = TH_INDATA_F01-VBELN_A

    LANGUAGE = 2
    NAME = 3
    NOT_FOUND = 4
    OBJECT = 5
    REFERENCE_CHECK = 6
    WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7
    OTHERS = 8.
    Here lines = td_line refers to Lines of text read
    The table contains all text lines belonging to a text module. The line structure is defined in table TLINE. The line contents are stored in ITF format.
    Hope this helps you .
