Font in Adobe Reader 11

Hi!
On the PC from my customer is installed Version 11.0.0.5.3 of adobe reader. I have the problem that the font in some documents only cryptic symbols. I have this screenshot:
I have this problem on any computer with Adobe Reader XI. Befor we update the Reader to this version the representation was correct. I need your help!

Thanks, Bernd! It's actually 'command-e' on the Mac, but it brought up the Text Box properties box, so worked perfectly.
Vielen Dank!

Re: Downloading fonts for Adobe Reader XI

I was attempting to open a document that I downloaded last night, and it said that I had to download upgraded fonts for Adobe Reader XI, and when I tried to it didn't work.

What is the exact message you are getting? "upgraded fonts" does not mean anything to me.

Strange FONT in Adobe Reader 9 with Windows 7

If a pdf was made from a word document or anything other than a scan the font is very strange, not default arial (see attached picture). I had this problem in reader X adn downgraded adn still have the problem. WHen this document is opened in gogle docs or on another computer the font is arial. Thanks for your help.

I have the same issue in multiple documents on Windows 7 with Adobe Reader X 10.1.0. Multiple others on my team can open the same files and do not have the issue. I have done a terse check and we have similar installed programs, etc.
Since I am not creating the documents, I have no control over how they are created. Also, I seem to have the issue on my computer and others do not.
Is there any way to troubleshoot font substitutions? Is there any way to verify fonts? Certainly I can see some fonts are not embedded in a sample I have, but I cannot see any way to know what font was specified and which was picked. If I could find out that, I may delete the strangely spaced one so a better choice is picked. It picks this odd font for what should be Arial...I think...but I am not sure. On this one sample doc I was able to get the creator to embed all fonts and it looks correct on my machine. However the previous version without embedded fonts shows like this:
Here is what it should look like:
Both version look fine on other machines.
Properties on bad font substitution version (I expect the circled are the issue):
Any help would be appreciated.

Changing Font in Adobe reader?

I was doing some pages, in which I can enter the information. The problem when I got to some of the places, is the font was to large in adobe reader? I looked at preferences and could not find any area to change the size of font, so it would fit properly?
Appreciate any help. This is adobe reader 8.1.2
thanks Bruce

Adobe Reader is used for displaying PDF files. PDF files are intended to be an accurate representation of the original document so changing font size isn't normally a feature of PDF readers.
You're probably thinking of EPUB or Kindle files. EPUB readers and Kindles let you change font size.
In a PDF, you need to zoom in on the text to view it larger. Use the normal way of doing it on an iPad: Spreading your fingers on the screen increases your zoom magnification. Closing your fingers on the screen decreases your magnification.

Missing fonts in Adobe Reader for Pocket PC

Hi, I recently installed the Adobe Reader 2.0 on my pocket PC and found that on my documents where bullet points are used it starts to complaint that it misses the font WingDings. I have installed the WinDings font in the Windows\Font directory, but it was not the solution for the problem
Any suggestions as to how this can be resolved?
It seems just a silly small issue, but I'm worlking on site with customers using my PocketPC for documentation and I just get driven nuts as I have to close every time the pop-up box alerting me that the font is missing!!
Any help is appriciated.

>>> Our techs have been using the HTC Blueangel (Same as the I-Mate pictured on your site), and although the image rendered by Adobe Reader was quite sharp, the size of the screen meant you were continually zooming in and out of pages to find the appropriate parts. So weve chosen the HTC X7500 as a replacement because of its 5 screen (amongst other reasons). <<
Ho Kay... have looked at the file and, based on the general layout (drawings with part# references) don't think you can get there from here.
Back to the basic goal, a couple of thoughts based on the assumption that your company is generating these pdf's and needs pda access to them.
Perhaps the part# references can be hyperlinked so the tech could tap the part# on the image and go to a table entry with all of the info on that specific part.
In that case, html would be a better format for navigation since, afaik, there does not seem to be a <back> button in reader.

Strange Font issue - Adobe reader

Hi All,
First off - Thank you for your help.
I have a strange issue with Adobe Reader where the font is not correctly displayed correctly as compared to the original document. Document diplays in a strange font as per attachment.
I have removed and re-installed Adobe reader. Updated Reader to a newer version. Installed Adobe pro (licenced) and as a last resort - removed and updated local display drivers.
Issue remains as per attached image.
Is this due to embedded fonts? How do i fix this? Re-imaging the machine is no go at this point.
Please help!
Thank You,
L+G_Guy

Look at file > document properties > fonts and see if any are listed without the word "embedded" or "embedded subset" against them.
If a font isn't embedded and isn't available on your system, Adobe Reader will try and substitute another one - but it often looks strange. Aside from that without seeing the actual file we can't help, and of course Adobe Reader can't fix missing fonts; you have to either recreate the original PDF, or install the fonts on your computer.

I received a pdf attachment and it prints as garbage fonts from adobe reader. It is ok when I use Apple's preview though. I need a fix.

HP (my printer) sent me to apple and Apple tried and then sent me to adobe, but adobe doesn't help people unless they pay for it. Can anyone out there figure this out. It's just one pdf doc so far. All the other things I print are fine. example attached. I think.....

As touching a PDF with Preview can / does do the ugly to PDF get a replacement PDF.
Keep it away from Preview (always).
Ensure you've visited the web site of the manufacturer of the printer and downloaded the most recent software/drivers for your OS.
Have a fully updated Adobe Reader XI installed. Launch it then do "file-open" and open the PDF and go from there.
Be well...

PDF file garbled in Preview, OK in Adobe Reader

I was sent a PDF file, I think generated on a Windows PC with office and converted to PDF somehow.
Preview on OSX on 10.7.5 shows most characters in this file as boxed question marks, suggesting it can't handle the font.
Adobe Reader shows it just fine.
Looking at the fonts used in the file (using Properties from Adobe Reader) its using;
     ArialMT
     Calibri
     TimesNewRomanPSMT
The attached image shows Preview on the left and Adobe Reader on the right.
I downloaded versions of those missing fonts but Font Book complained because they were duplicates.
It seems Preview is not handling font substitution as well as Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader is my work around for now but it is NOT A SOLUTION.
The point of this thread is to get Preview improved, I buy Apple stuff because it just works ... usually.
In this case I had to faff around for some time before I was able to view this document.
In researching, I see this problem, or variants of it, have existed for some time with only work arounds offered never a permanent solution.

Posting here will not achieve your goal. File a bug report with Apple, since http://www.apple.com/feedback/ doesn't show Preview or TextEdit as Apple apps.

Century gothic displays in adobe reader 8 and not in 9

Hi
I have created a pdf using adobe livecycle and i have set the address font in my header to Century Gothic. When i view the doc in Adobe reader 8, it shows it exactly the way i want. When i view it in adobe 9, it has changed to arial. Why is this happening? and how can i prevent it from changing when viewed in the different versions of adobe reader?
Also, it doesnt make sense to say that the font is supported in adobe 8 and NOT in 9. Surely capability should be backward compatible?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Fatima

Hi Hitender
The document does not show the correct font in Adobe Reader 9.0. We have now downgraded our adobe reader on the server where we are printing the docs from. We have tried installing the font onto that server but that was also unsuccessful.
Please let me know if you have any advice for my problem.
Thanks
Fatima

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07: font size in comments has been reduced to about 5pt with this update

Win7 x64/sp1 with many updates:
For the last few years, I have experienced major font problems with the comments, such as attempting to make a change in a font style causing Reader to lock up for about 3 or 4 minutes.
I allowed the update to 11.0.07 this am and the pdf I was working on, at length yesterday, now has the font size in the numerous comments I created reduced to about 5 pt. I know: that small isn't possible, but that's about what it looks like.
I believe that Adobe's quality control on Reader has been grossly lacking in the comments area. It has been suggested to me that I switch to PDF-XChange.
I will seriously consider it, because, as I open up pdfs from years past that I need to use for the material I'm working on, I see that the font size in all of those comments has been reduced drastically as well.
The only remedy that I can find is to open each comment individually and "Clear formatting."
That will amount to an enormous waste of time.
Please hire someone who is interested in quality control.

Hi Rohit Sh,,
Thanks for your answer. I have encountered a similar problem. While the font size of the comment created before the update remains unchanged, that of the comment created after the update reduce to about 5pt.
Then I tried to increase the Font Size from "Commenting" section under Edit->Preferences, the font size of both the old comments and new comments get increased. So, for example, suppose the desired font size is 10pt but the new comment look like 5pt, then when I update its value into 10pt again, nothing happened; when I change its value into 15pt, the old comment become 15pt and the new comment look like around 7-8pt; after this, if I change its value back to 10pt, the old comment would become 10pt as desired but the new comment now would become even smaller than 5pt. In conclusion, I can never make all comment have the consistent font sizes by changing the Font Size from "Commenting" section under Edit->Preferences, as it worked in the earlier version.
Please fix this. Thank you very much.

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

How do I change the font size on Adobe Reader 8.1.2

I recently purchased an HP laptop running Vista. It came with Adobe Reader 8.1.2. I can't change the font size in a form that I am filling out. I can cut& paste a different font size into the form but not change the font size. Someone said that it is a free download so I won't be able to change the font size. Does anyone know a fix?

To change the font size in PDF forms, one needs to have Adobe Acrobat rather than Adobe Reader.

PDF Fonts change when viewed in Adobe Reader

I'm producing a PDF which will be viewed online. It's being creating in Pages 09 and I export it to PDF.
In Preview the PDF is fine - no problems. But when I view it in Adobe Reader the fonts have changed. I've tried all the fonts listed in the Font collection "PDF" and most recommended for Web.
Just to give you a couple of examples Times becomes blurry in Reader, while Helvetica looks more like Verdana.
I didn't have this problem prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard. I'd really appreciate if anyone could help with this. Thanks.

Peter, my apologies for not getting back to you sooner than this, I've been away from my Mac since I posted this.
Thank you for your very kind offer to look at the files for me. In between time a friend has been over and apparently altered some settings on my iMac and the problem seems to have been resolved. (I hope!)
Thanks again - I daresay I'll be back with more questions before long...
