Fonts in Acrobat XI

I received a PDF-file with renderable text. The font list has some entries like "Calibri (embedded subset), Type: True Type, Encoding: Custom". The "PDF producer" is GPL Ghostscript 8.71. The text looks "normal" but some bookmarks I create are just ghibberish, e.g. (I don't know if this will be informative): "OECD" as bookmark becomes "$ Cˇ ".
If I save the document as RTF (Acrobat Pro XI) and then save it as PDF (Microsoft Word 2010), everything seems fine (Calibri encoding is now: ANSI)
Two question:
- Is there an easier way to solve the problem?
- How do I find out which text uses which font?

I've recently noticed that GhostScript sometimes does wildly unhelpful things like this with particular fonts.
No, can't easily solve or fix it.
You can use the Text Touch-up tool to check fonts.

  • How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

    I tried to use "Edit Document Text" Function. There is an error pop-up as " All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.". How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

    It is referring to the fonts installed on your computer - to edit text within a PDF you must have the same font installed (i.e. one with the same PostScript name). Acrobat doesn't have a separate way to load fonts, you install them in the normal way through your operating system control panel after downloading/purchasing the font files from a vendor.

  • Lost internal fonts in Acrobat X

    We recently deleted over 1000 fonts from our main computer running Windows 7 64 bit.  It appears we inadverdently deleted the font that Acrobat Pro X uses for it's internal use to supply test in sub windows such as the print window.  All I get are the graphics - no text.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the probram but no cure.  Does anyone know the name of the font used in these internal windows of Acrobat?

    This has nothing to do with the fonts being Cyrillic. If you don't have the the exact font you cannot edit the text. You can try to change the text to a font you do have, then it can be edited. BUT, remember even though adobe has given us the ability to edit a PDF, the results can be horrible. It is better to go back to the original flies used to create the PDF.

  • Changing Default Font in Acrobat 7 and/or Acrobat Reader 9

    Anyone know how to change the Default Font in Acrobat 7 and/or Acrobat Reader 9?  Whenever I open a PDF document the text defaults to a Times New Roman or basic font.  Can we change the default font?

    The fonts are defined as part of the created PDF. If you mean something else, then please explain. A PDF is designed to replicate the document it was created from and thus the fonts are defined by the originating document. If you do not have the font and it is not embedded, then Acrobat tries to find a close version to substitute.

  • How to access a missing font in Acrobat PRo XI

    I am editing a PDF using a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro.  The text font in the PDF is Zurich BT.  However, that font displayed below the Format DDLB, but greyed out so it cannot be clicked upon.  Instead, Adobe has replaced Zurich BT with Minion Pro.  How can I get the Zurich BT fond made available for my use?  Do I have to download and add this font?
    You can see from this image clipping that when I change the address to the new location this text appears in Minion Pro, not Zurich BT.

    You also have to be careful with fonts. The font you download may be the same name, but a different font. Just because you find a Zurich BT font, does not mean it is the same. If you search on the internet, there are several sources of some Zurich BT fonts free. However, they may or may not be the same font. Editing is best done on the original document and not the PDF. One of the PDFs I found on the Landis site was only in Zurich font. I would think that the original file is available from the company and that should be the document you edit, not the PDF. It appears the original was created in InDesign (CS3).

  • Getting an error when running Preflight to embed fonts in Acrobat Pro version 9

    I am running Acrobat Pro version 9.4.5 and when I am running a pre-flight for embedding fonts in my document I am getting an error message as follow: "
    An unexpected error has occurred during the Fixup process ".
    This is occuring at the font processing time. Anybody encountered the same issue.
    One detail which has it importance, I am using TTF fonts and some specific Adobe fonts which are located in the Resource\font directory of my workstation.
    Many thanks for your help.

    Check all your fonts have headers that permit embedding - some commercial fonts don't. Debugging in Preflight is a nightmare, so to find the problem you may have to try the fonts one at a time against a test document until you find the one that whimpers.

  • Corrupted / missing fonts - Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

    When I create a PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 from a web page (using IE 11 on Windows 7) I will often have a resulting PDF file where the letters are jumbled symbols and not the actual letters.  Or sometimes I get the error:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    48ufllv not found, using Courier.
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
    Stack:
    -dict-
    -file-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    When that happens no PDF file is created.
    Is there a way for me to fix this without uninstalling and reinstalling.  This install is part of the Creative Suite so that's a lot of disks for me to uninstall and then reinstall.
    thanks!!

    Under the settings file, you can open up and go to the font page. You can then select to print even if there font cannot be embedded. Something like that might work.

  • For Adobe Acrobat X Pro how do you change font size Acrobat in form editing mode?

    For Adobe Acrobat X Pro how do you change the font size when Acrobat is in Form Editing Mode? The fonts are different sizes in the highlighted fields.  I want the font the same size throughout my document...

    Dear Michael:
    The documents do not look professional with the 2 different font sizes.  And it
    is driving me crazy because I cannot figure it out… But I will try the steps you
    gave me to change the font size.  Attached via e-mail is a screanshot of the

  • Substituting Fonts in Acrobat 9 Standard

    I should start by pinting out that I am not a graphic artist, computer "geek" or polymath.  I am a electrical technician who uses Acrobat to edit text in .pdfs sent from other companies and to convert Word documents and spreadsheets to .pdfs.  So please be gentle with your responses!
    Until I was forcibly upgraded to Win7-64 I happily used Acrobat 7.  Finding that this no longer worked I upgraded to Acrobat 9 Standard.  Ever since I have had a problem with font substitution.  Whenever I try to edit a .pdf (either one I have received or one I created using Acrobat 9) and save the result I get the message that it is "Substituting Font".  The resulting document has numerous gaps which are difficult and time-consuming to correct.  I could almost understand this with documents created on someone else's computer but why does it happen with documents that I have created?
    What can I do to avoid this? (I have 85 documents in which I have to change one character - with the substitution it is taking 15 mins to do each one!)

    I am not 100% sure about updated AA9 and the 64-bit version and so it may do the job. There have typically be problems with the initial releases for 64-bit operation and it may be the updates do the job. I think there is a knowledge base article that deals with this type of compatibility.
    When you create a PDF, you can embed the fonts you use. That is done by the selections in the job settings file. As long as you use something beyond the Smallest File Size (does not embed any fonts), you will likely have the fonts embedded as subsets. It is easy to check the properties of the job settings files under the settings tab of the printer properties (or the Advanced settings in the Acrobat Preferences in WORD). Subset fonts are often a problem for editing, unless you have the font on your machine. You could try turning the subset option off to see if that helps on your own files.
    For those coming in (and your own) you can check the font embedded with ctrl-D (document properties) and selecting the font tab. Embedded and subset fonts should have those statements on each appropriate font. If the statements are not there, then they are not embedded or subset (and yes they have to be embedded to be subset). If the fonts are not embedded, there is an option under preflight to embed fonts.
    In any case, my experience with editing text in Acrobat is it is a lot of work to get things to look nice. A lot of the formatting seems to get messed up easily. If at all possible, it is always better to edit the original document and simply create a new PDF. That may not be an immediate option for you, but if there is a way to move toward that model in the future it would save you many headaches. You might simply check the companies to see if they will send you the originals to process, not the PDF.

  • Subset Chinese fonts in Acrobat 8?

    I have a 30 page manual, in English, but the page headers have Chinese characters.
    The problem is that Reader can't find that Chinese font- so it displays NOTHING.
    When I opened the document in Acrobat, it detected that Chinese fonts were used and offered to download them- seven megabytes for that add-on. The document is only 308K. After that 7 meg download, Reader displays the contents of the document.
    What can I do to either subset the Chinese font the document uses, or alter the document to force Reader to display the contents even when the Chinese fonts aren't available? I tried the touchup text tool, then right-clicking the Chinese text, but the checkboxes for embedding are greyed out.
    It's rather silly to have to download seven megabytes of additional data just to be able to view a 308 kilobyte document.

    >Then what good is embedding/subsetting fonts if the font has to be installed in the OS anyway?
    The reason for embedding the fonts is so that the end user sees your
    exact choice of fonts.
    > I thought the reason for embedding fonts was so the font did not have to be installed.
    Yes, but the Chinese font packs don't just install fonts. They also
    install the necessary support information to allow Chinese fonts to be
    displayed.
    >
    >Is there something I can do to the PDF to make Reader display the images and English text without having the Chinese font in the OS?
    If a page has an "error" then it is likely to be blank. Missing font
    support is an error.
