Font problem with Acrobat 8 Pro

When I print to pdf using Acrobat 8 Pro, I find that the fonts don't always look the same in the created pdf file as they do in the original document (whether created in Pages or Word). They look a little squished or altered slightly in a way that isn't as smooth as the original. And I'm not even using rare fonts but ones like Arial.
However when I open these pdf files in Preview the fonts look the same as the original. And when I open them in Reader on a PC they still look as bad as when viewing in Acrobat on the Mac.
I've tried adjusting the settings in Distiller and have printed the pdf files using a high quality setting that embeds all fonts and still the fonts come out looking not quite right.
This has been very frustrating to me as I never had this type of problem when using Acrobat on Windows before. The pdf files always came out exactly like the original source document. Is there something different about Acrobat on a Mac or is there a setting or something else I can fix?
I'm running OS X 10.5.4 on a Macbook Pro.

Have you checked the font embedding inside File / Properties / Fonts /?
Are they set to embed or not since High Quality DOES embed the fonts ...

  • Printing problem with Acrobat Pro 10.1

    I get an "Insufficient memory" message on my LaserJet printer when trying to print certain PDFs using Acrobat Pro 10.1, but the PDFs are printed without any problem from Acrobat Pro 9 or Preview. Does anybody else have this problem?

    Thanks for responding I was using an MS Excel spreadsheet to merge details to produce labels in a programme called NiceLabel Pro.  The information from the spreadsheet was very simple - a readable code number and a QR code.  In the Nice Label document setup you nominate the printer - in my case this was the Adobe PDF printer - to produce a Press Ready quality PDF file.  I tried several times to print this file and each time ended up with page 1.  As the job was urgent and I had a deadline to meet, I ended up installing a programme called Nitro - which also produces PDF - to complete the job, without a problem.  However, I would prefer to stick with my Adobe Acrobat software as the other alternative is limited in its pre-press options.  Hope this information will enable a solution to the problem.
    - Thanks, Lynne
    Hi again Dov - have you been able to come up with an answer to my Acrobat problem.  Would like to begin 2015 with workable Acrobat.
    Many thanks - Lynne

    I have problem with my Acrobat Pro (in Adobe Design Standard CS6 edition) - Regularly once a month throughout the software crashes and will not turn on. Only helps to re-install.

My customer identification number is : 168735979. Thank you.

    Thank you but unfortunately the process does not work. It makes the same thing as before. When I install and enters the serial number, it writes: We are unable to verify the product serial number Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. Please contact Customer Support.
    When I deactivated Photoshop and re-activated by the process, everything went without a problem. The problem is only with Acrobat Pro. Acrofix - after running only flashes a command prompt window, otherwise nothing happens. I do not know what to do ....

  • If I install the update to Adobe Reader 10, will that cause problems with Acrobat Pro 9?

    Firefox (version 15.0.1) is telling me I need to install an update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4 in order to view pdf files in my browser. I use Acrobat Pro 9. The update is actually Adobe Reader 10, and I am wondering if I install this, will it cause problems with my version of Acrobat Pro?
    Because I am not sure if this is so, I have temporarily disabled the plug-in and now pdf files download automatically rather than display in my browser. I would prefer they open in my browser but do not want to upgrade to Acrobat X.
    My OS is Windows Vista. I did not include the "troubleshooting information" file because I'm not sure what specific info is being requested.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi WMdotcom
    did you try to view pdf with your acrobat pro 9 ?

  • Printing Problems with Acrobat Pro 9.5 for Mac

    I have Acrobat pro 9.5 for Mac.  I'm using a Canon MG8150 multi-function printer.  Everytime I try to print from Arobat Pro I get an error message.  Any suggestions?  I can print my pdfs from Apple Preview; so it's not the document or the printer.

    The first problem is probably a permissions issue. Run Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility. For the second see this
    Announcement: Known Acrobat Issues under Snow Leopard
    Hide Details
    (1) The Adobe PDF Printer module does not work under OS X.6. Please see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html to find out how to create Adobe Quality PDFs under Snow Leopard.
    (2) Opening files from the finder, including files authored by Adobe applications, may not open them in the original authoring application. Omitting a file extension from the file name will increase the likelihood of this happening. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/511/cpsid_51110.html for more information.

  • Problem with Acrobat Pro X trial

    Trial screen for acrobat pro x, is blocking access to original adobe. Tried deleting & see no more file & it is still doing it.

    Hi, Thy-God,
    Would you mind giving us a bit more information?  That will help us diagnose the problem.
    Can you tell us more about the error message you get?
    When you say it blocks access to original adobe, would that be an earlier version of Acrobat?
    Thanks,
    Kirsti

  • Problem printing PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4

    Hi!
    I can't correctly print a PDF with Acrobat Pro that was created in Indesign CS5.
    I want to print it on a letter format (8,5 X 11") and it offers me a format of 8,49 X 10,99". It results in having my document being printed as tile with it's original format 12 X 21,5" as if I didn't adjust the format to be reduced.
    I temporary used Preview to print my PDF, but now I can't as the encoding in which I received the PDF used to be "Creo Normalizer JTP" and now it is "Adobe PDF Library 9.9"
    If anyone can help!
    This is my first time here, thanks in advance for your help

    Here's what it looks like (I work in french, hope you can understand)
    I just updated my software, thanks for that!
    Now, my problem is still on... I still have the very same result when I print. I did selected the correct Page Scalling I needed. I did selected the paper size I wanted. I chose Shrink to Printable Area and I tried with Fit to Printable Area.
    Since I've had this problem the size appears as : 8,49 X 10,99 (Instead of 8,5 X 11). I tried with Legal (8,5 X 14) but it appears as 8,49 X 13,99. I went through the preferences, but I can't find anything that could be the problem.
    Any other idea?
    Thanks!!
    Also, Preview was very helpful, as it did print my PDF correctly! I understand it's not the best... but it did the job

  • I am having a problem using Acrobat Pro in trying to merge documents.

    I am having a problem using Acrobat Pro to merge documents.   I can still use other functions withing Acrobat Pro.  Help - I have a deadline to meet!

    For product, there is an option in preferences where we can set fonts. There are two options: One is application font and other is system font. I am talking about elements 8 which I have but not sure that will solve your problem which is help related.
    Hope Help in 5th version is html which opens in Browser? Please confirm.

    I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think.  Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.
