Arial Font problems in old pdfs! {Pics inside}

Hello all.
Here is the problem as best I can explain it!
I have pdf files that were origanally created on a Mac (I am using Win 7) using Arial Narrow font family. I read all the issues posted
on the Arial Narrow font problems but none have solved the problem. Below are screen shots of what I think might be the cause.
When I look at the properties in Acrobat for the pdf in question here is what fonts show up.
The only font that displays correctly is Arial-Black true type font. The Type1 ArialNarrow displays
as shown in the picture below. One other thing to note: Notice how ArialNarrow is all one word?
Is that maybe why Illustrator is having a problem with it? I have tried to find it with no luck.
When opened in Illustrator CS2 this is what is displayed.
The fonts are in my fonts directory both in Windows and Illustrator. I even loaded the older 2.35
version that is mentioned all over the net.
The problem is that I have hunderds of these documents some with over 200 pages each. I have messed
with this for several days now and am at a loss as to what to do next.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! ! !

Substituting fonts in Illustrator using Type>Find font is not going to work.
If you look at the screenshots you'll see the fonts are CID fonts with custom encoding. The fonts on Marks Computer probably have ANSI encoding (i.e. standard western character set) and the character maps will not match. As a result you will not get legible text but just squares or other things (diamonds, dots etc.)
Mark sent me a file to look at and below is what I wrote in a direct e-mail to him.
<quote>
The problem is that the PDF was made directly from InDesign, which converts the fonts to CID fonts (normally used for Asian fonts like Chinese, Japanese and Korean) and in doing so it created a character map (encoding) that is not compatible with our regular fonts which use the Western Character set (ANSI encoding). Which explains why replacing the embedded font with one on your system doesn't work.
There is some info on the Adobe website at the following links:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329611.html
http://indesignsecrets.com/cid-identity-h-fonts-are-back.php
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/324995
<end quote>
The CID charachter problem also exists in Acrobat 7 and 8, but got solved in Acrobat 9.
The only thing that worked to get a PDF with readable and editable text was to use an OCR program (Abby FineReader in my case, but Omnipage can do the same) to process the PDF and in doing so the embedded fonts were basically OCR'ed using system fonts and then saving it again as a PDF had basically the same effect as replacing the embedded fonts by system fonts. After that opening the PDF in Illustrator gave normal text and the file could be edited. Though Serif DrawPlus did a better job in opening the PDF as an editable file.
In this case the OCR route is an option because the PDF file contained a table. If it had been a drawing the OCR option might be less useful depending on how the OCR software would handle the drawing part, unless getting the text out of the PDF and reinsert it into the drawing would be sufficient.
Maybe the above info is of some use for those who are dealing with the same problem.

Solution for font problem using iTunes store (iTunes 9 @ Vista)

For all those of you who experience font problems rendering the iTunes store (I got partly jibberish many letters rendered as squares). For me it turned out that
my Arial fonts were corrupted (there were other files with the same font names residing in my Windows font directory). Deleting all Arial and installing them new from another Vista machine solved the problem.
I got to analyze the problem as follows: the rendering of the iTunes 9 store is done by the webkit. This reads a list of available fonts with files names from the registry and stores it in the file C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\WebKit\FontsList.plist (do not edit, it is generated each time you start iTunes anew). If you compare (e.g., using diffdaff) this file to the one of a Vista computer that does not show the font problem, you pretty soon realize which font family might cause the problem for you. For me it was Arial (which is used by Windows as a substitution for the Helvetica fonts BTW).

You can try to download items one at a time to get rid of this error message. Follow these steps for such:
1) Open iTunes.
2) From the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Check for Purchases.
3) Enter your account name and password, then click Check. Your purchases should begin downloading.
4) Under the STORE section on the left, click Downloads.
5) Click the Pause All button in the lower-right corner. This will temporarily pause all of your downloads.
6) To resume only one of the downloads, click the refresh button that appears to the right of one of the paused downloads.
If that doesn't help, you may want to consider performing the following to be sure no software is conflicting with iTunes:
1.) Disable all anti-virus software you may have running
2.) Disable all firewall software you may have running
3.) Disable all web acceleration software you may have running
4.) If you are connected to the internet via an internet router, please disconnect it and connect directly via your broadband modem
Hope this helps =)

Font Problem using 8.1.3 on OpenSuSE 10.3

I just installed the rpm AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.i486.rpm that I downloaded from the Adobe web site. After installing it, when I open a PDF I get a pop-up that says:
Cannot find or create the font 'Arial.Italic'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
I looked for installed Arial fonts and found these:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ariali.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arialbd.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arialbi.ttf
Any thoughts?

I fixed this problem by uninstalling the version downloaded from the web site and installed a version found on a mirror using the SuSE package installer.

Preview and Adobe fonts problem/missing in PDF

I have a PDF document that doesn't show some fonts. The PDF was displaying fine on preview and then all of the sudden the next day it got messed up. I didn't performed any update or installed any new app. The problem persists in both Preview app and Adobe Reader; at least Adobe tells me: "Cannot find or create the font 'BYGBIR+Helvetica-12-0'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Here's a screen shot of what it looks like.

L Huffman,
First of all, Welcome to the Discussions!
Try to select one of files in question by clicking once and then press the key combo command + i or go to the File menu and select Get Info.
Once the Get Info pane is open drop down (if not already in the open position) the disclosure triangle next to "Open with:" and change the application that will open "this" file. To change all files of the type make sure to click on the "Change All" button.
That should do it....post back if that is not what you are trying to do.

Font problems using Adobe CS and Microsoft Office

I am having problems with using my installed fonts in software like Adobe CS and Microsoft Office. The fonts do not appear in the font lists of these programs, while they do appear in TextEdit (and in the Font Book).
I already did the following:
- disabling/enabling the fonts
- entering the save mode (cleaning the cache)
- cleaning the cache using a third party program (cannot recall the name)
- reinstalling OS X
Can somebody help me?

A little update.
Often when I boot my iMac and open for example Adobe Illustrator not every font (original and newly installed) show up in program's font list, but sometimes all fonts do appear.
So this is a very strange phenomenon.
Problem is that I am working on a design for which I need to use custom fonts, but I can't. I'm stuck!
So please, can anybody help me?

Font Problems in Keynote

Hi all
Having some big Font problems using keynote since the last Snow Leopard update some month ago Mac OS X 10.6.7 (10J869) .
I tried to install the Latest Font Update package as well but nothing.....
The problem is the Myriad Pro Bold font (Apple use Myriad Pro almost everywhere).
The other Myriads work just fine.
I have also checked the Font Book and the Font is NOT duplicated.
Have done some 50+ presentation in Keynote all with this Font.
It looks like this
Thanks for your time and help

Yes I have...nothing happens. The font is myriad pro bold, all other myriads works. The thing is that I have used that in almost every slide in some 50 presentations, i.e hundreds or perhaps thousends of slides and in keynote you can not change them all et once. On my both iMacs works just fine but I cant install the uptades just in case, and who carry around an iMac for every presentation

A font not used in an MS Word doc is showing up in the PDF properties and won't embed

A friend needed a new manuscript uploaded to a publishing site. I retyped it in MS Word (2007) using NO formatting shortcuts and using only ONE font (Georgia) for both body and headers/footers. Placed all the jpg illustrations on the pages. Then saved it in the required PDF format for the publisher's system to use. They also require that ALL fonts/symbols are embedded. Even ONE character that is not embedded will void the file. I'm now on attempt 17.
When I checked the properties on this PDF file, the font I used, including italics, symbols and bolding, are noted as embedded. However, it also says that there is ARIEL font (which I did not use) that is NOT embedded. AARRGGHH.
This gal wants her book ready in two weeks. HOW can I resolve this? Any ideas? I saved it once through MS Word using the PDF option, but also tried it through my Photoshop Elements. Same result. My PC uses Windows 8 (NOT 8.1) and the Adobe Reader XI.0.7. The Java files are the most current update as of yesterday.

It seems to me to be a problem of MS Word, not Adobe Reader.
Also, I don't know how you can convert a Word doc to PDF with Photoshop Elements.

PDF and Font Problems 10.6.8

Ugh.
MBP13 7,1 (mid 2010) 2.4g C2D 4G Ram
I use Vectorworks 2011 to produce CAD drawings for customers and the plant. Recently I began having issues with my PDFs of my CAD not being fully distilled - various issues but primarily most dimensions not visible. I have read that PDF issues cropped up beginning with 10.6.7 and that certain PS fonts can be the issue. As well as outdated PDF readers used by my recipients. In a short-sighted fit of frustration I began monkeying with Font Book and Font Caches.
My maladies are
1. My PDFs are incomplete
2. Received MS Office filed open "blank". Now MS OFFICE 2011 no longer has common Fonts such as Arial and Times Nee Roman.
Can I fix this or do I need to go back to 10.6.6 and reinstall Office?
Thanks in advance.
BTW this forum is surprising difficult to nav on an iPhone.

Font problem in PDF

I have the following problem :
I am using REPORT 6i , when I run a report that contains arabic text it work OK on the previwer but when I generate this report to PDF file I can't read the arabic text it appears distorted, help me plz ...

Hi,
I have another problem with the PDF text alignment.
I am using Oracle 9iDS for developing the reports and PDF version 6.0. There's a letter typ report that I am making. In the signature part the fields are right aligned. They are aligned correctly when viewed at our end.
But when I deploy the report at the server (Oracle 9iAS) at our client's location, and view the report in PDF, the signature text doesn't seem to be aligned. The results are the same even if I use the text fields instead of the fields.
However, this problem is not there if I align the text to the left. How do I solve the problem? Is this problem occuring because of the difference of uifont.ali file on our machines? Here I would mention that we have installed Asian fonts on our machines. Am using SJIS and unicode fonts for the reports. The only difference between the clients machine and ours is that they are using more fonts than us.
Can you help us out with this issue?
Why is the difference inspite of the similar configuration.
OS is Win 2K.
Regards,
Swati

Pdf font problem

Good afternoon to everyone I have a problem with this pdf article http://hotfile.com/dl/86909478/7a0c189/Eye_10_DuoTrav_vs_Xalacom_24-hr_XFG.pdf.html when I use acroread 9.4-1 maverick, at first I get this message: `Cannot extract the embedded font IODIOB+AdvFrutiger-L. Some characters may not display or print correctly.` and the result is strange font in specific parts of the article (eg at the part of the authors), though the main structure of the article has not been disturbed. using evince or okular things are worse and the problem relates to whole article including the structure. using pdftohtml, the browser reads exactly as acroread. using pdfedit and then gedit to open it as html the problem seems more complicated and I get reports for a large number of repeated errors: Error: Couldn't create a font for 'IODIOB+AdvFrutiger-L' Error: Couldn't create a font for 'IODIOC+AdvPalB' Error: Couldn't create a font for 'IODIPI+AdvPalR' My OS is Linux Mint 10 64bit Any ideas?

The "security" features of PDFs are totally illusory.
There are readily available, legal programs that will circumvent them. For instance: with PDFKeyPro I can create a decrypted, completely unsecured copy of any encrypted or "secured" PDF you care to throw at me in a matter of seconds.
So, it all depends on how determined they are.

Times Font Problems With PDFs

Hello,
I am having an intermittent problem with PDFs with Times fonts.
Sometimes the PDFs print OK and other times words will be jumbled together or strange characters will take the place of certain punctuation marks. There are several other things that seem to happen, but I cannot remember every issue. Every time there is a problem, the PDF "Looks good on the monitor!".
This happens on 10.3.9 and Os9 machines also.
I have done Permission Repairs on a regular basis, cleaned my Font Caches, used FontFinagler etc.
I have run Norton on the Os9 machines, taken all fonts out of ATM and put them back in, trashed Adobe prefs, etc.
Sometimes this happens on PDFs from PCs, other times it happens on PDFs from Macs.
All of the versions of Acrobat we are using are Professional versions with the latest updates, so that shouldn't be the issue.
If anyone has any input on this, it will make my life considerably easier.
TIA,
David

David,
It sounds like the problem PDF docs did not have the fonts embedded into the docs when they were created originally, and the Times font on your computer is different. A couple of possible options, (a) ask the original creator to re-make the PDF doc with embedding the fonts, or (b) try re-writing the doc by doing a Save As... in Acrobat.
Hope this helps.

Problem Generating PDF Using Adobe PDF as Driver

I am using FM 10, experiencing problems in creating a pdf of a book. I use Adobe PDF as my print driver. The error said that a font,
HelveticaNeueCond, was not available, and could not be embedded. I had never heard of this font as being in my book, but I downloaded it and installed it on my C drive in my WINDOWS/Fonts folder. Still got the same error!
Also a pdf was made up to a certain page and then it failed. When I tried pdf ing that failed page, it worked. Then I tried to pdf the pages in between and it failed in a different spot.
This failure makes no sense.
I need help!

There are hundreds of message similar to this one in the archives, so I'd suggest you start reading those, but in general:
No one can do effective long-distance trouble shooting of your system without all the system details: FM and Acrobat versions, down to the patch levels (do Help > About), your OS, and amount of RAM and free disk space are important also.
If you are running Windows XP, get the Microsoft Hot fix for all PostScript printers and install if before you do anything else.

http://support.microsoft.com/Hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=952909&kbln=en-us (Direct Download Link)
Reboot after installing it.
Then, or start with these if you're not on XP:
Set the Adobe Acroat printer as your system default printer.
Be sure you are printing to the Acrobat printer with the Print Command and not using SaveAs PDF
On the Frame Print dialog box, check Generate Acrobat Data and UNCHECK Print to File.
