Fonts not Rendering in PDFs Adobe Acrobat, Preview

We use custom fonts for a lot of our work as designers. Some of these fonts, particularly 'Oswald' renders terribly in any PDF in OSX Yosemite.on
These fonts render correctly in MS Word in Mac and Windows computers (sigh).
Please advise and thanks in advance.

I had the same problem as you with the same font. It turns out it's a bug with OpenType fonts, so convert it to a TrueType font instead, and it's fixed!

Remove old fonts from Library\Fonts folder, install new TTF files. Tada!

    Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability.  How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
    But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

  • Printing Problems with PDF - Adobe Acrobat

    Printer - HP Deskjet 3070A
    Laptop - Asus Zenbook running Windows 7 Home Premium
    Issue: Printing problems with PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader)
    Dear All,
    Please help!
    My printer was working absolutely perfectly until my brother in law recently needed to borrow my printer. He plugged in his laptop running Windows 8 (awful thing that is). Since he did this to print his own PDF, I cannot print mine.
    Although all the text will appear on the page perfectly both in the document view and on actual printing, it appears that some of the transparent formatting stuff on a PDF - such as boxes you have to fill in and transparent areas (such as you find on glorious tax forms) are omitted completely. In fact, in their place I was getting a single black dot. Now, after uninstalling and re-installing updates for the printer, windows 7, adobe acrobat reader, etc.etc. I get squat. Just all the text laid out but none of the shading or boxes.
    I have tried fiddling with the printer settings; the  print as 'photo' option, dpi settings, greyscale - as much as I can think of and I am thoroughly stumped.
    In a desperate attempt, I even installed the Universal Printer Drivers - thinking it might have been that. No. All I got was a page of gobbledygook. Consequently, I uninstalled and reinstalled the normal drivers again.
    If there are any wonderful people out there with any fabulous ideas about how I can get my shading and boxes back; I'd  very much appreciate it. Sadly I have a tax return to fill out (which is already fabulously late) and need my printer to work!
    Much appreciation in advance x

    Hey there @Reverie!
    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
    I can see that the printer is no longer printing in the correct format after it was plugged into the Windows 8 computer!  You mentioned you have run the updates and uninstalled/re-installed the printer software.  Have you uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe software? Are you getting the same issue from other programs as well? Are you getting the same issues if you are logged in as a different user on the computer? 
    I have located the HP Update Software Utility that may be able to help.  You can download an run the utility.  It may be able to locate any other updates for the printer.
    I would also recommend running a disk cleanup on the computer to clear any temporary files and junk files that may be causing some performance or software issues. If you do not know how to run a disk cleanup on the computer please follow this document regarding Delete files using Disk Cleanup.  It is recommended to restart the computer after a disk cleanup. After the restart try the print job again!
    Let me know if that helped and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Printing PDF Adobe Acrobat Documents

    I receive emails from my job and the attachments are PDF Adobe Acrobat Documents and I get an error message when I try to print them.  The error message is:  PROP Res DLL Not Loaded.  I have talked to a computer tech to see why I could not print those attachments and they said that I needed to download the Adobe Flash Player.  I have done that just recently and I was given the notification that it did download.  I went to try to print those documents and I get the same error message: Prop Res DLL Not Loaded.  What do I have to do to be able to print those documents?

    This is usually associated with LexMark printers installed under Windows.  A possible fix is given at

  • Quality of pdf files not clear after conversion (Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Std)

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 standard and my computer is running on Windows XP SP3 (with Office 2003 SP3). Everything used to works fine until my laptop crashed and I need to re-install everything.
    Now when I want to convert PowerPoint presentation files (with pictures, diagrams), the pdf version becomes not clear and the fonts are smudged.
    I have re-install Adobe twice but ended up with the same problems. My colleague is able to convert the same PowerPoint using CutePDF without any problem.
    Please help. Thanks.

    You may want to try the following steps:
    open a pdf file
    click Edit
    click Preference
    in Resolution section: select Use system setting: 144 pixels/inch
    in Rendering section: select For Monitor, select Smooth line art, select Smooth images, select Use local fonts, select Use page cache

  • Gaps In between Letters Of Full Words When Merging Files To Single .pdf Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 Pro

    Setup
    Windows XP SP3 + Office 2007 Pro
    Also, tested on  Windows 7 64x + Office 2007 Pro
    Same Issues.
    The steps used are:
    1) Open Adobe Acrobat 9.0
    2) Click File
    3) Combine
    4) Merge Files into a single PDF
    5) Add Files (select the required files)
    6) Combine Files (which then processes and creates single PDF)
    Results:
    A single PDF is then created and as mentioned is occasionally affected by this issue of random gaps appearing within words.
    Expected results:
    A single PDF with the same formatting and layout as the original files.

    Thanks for the response.
    I have checked though the Word documents that were used in the most recent merge. They don't have any spaces at these areas or strange formatting. I turned on the Show/Hide option to confirm if there was anything odd but I could not see anything. The formatting (Ctrl+D) shows the default font Arial, Regular, font 12.
    The interesting thing is that if it occurs and attempt another file merge the gaps are no longer there. Which makes me think this is unlikely to be the documents and formatting being used and more likely to be a bug in Adobe Acrobat.
    Is there anything else that might be of use to know?

  • Gaps inbetween letters of full words when Merging files to single PDF (Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard)

    I've raised a Bug Report although it says that I may not be contacted so thought someone else might have encountered this issue and hopefully knows what causes it and how to fix. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Heres a copy of the Bug Report details...
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    An intermitent issue is occuring when merging multiple files into a single PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard, the resulting PDF file has gaps inbetween the letters of actual words. For example the word "document" may appear in part of the PDF as "doc ument". This seems to affect various parts of the final PDF file.
    Setup: Windows XP SP2, Adobe Acrobat 9.0, Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    I am currently unable to replicate the issue on demand but this has happened three times since installing Adobe Acrobat 9.0 a month ago. The most recent occurance happened when merging 6 Microsoft Word Documents. It is a real problem due to the fact that every PDF created needs to be carefully checked and in some cases these PDFs have hundreds of pages.
    The steps used are:
    1) Open Adobe Acrobat 9.0
    2) Click File
    3) Combine
    4) Merge Files into a single PDF
    5) Add Files (select the required files)
    6) Combine Files (which then processes and creates single PDF)
    Results:
    A single PDF is then created and as mentioned is occasionally affected by this issue of random gaps appearing within words.
    Expected results:

  • Fonts not embedded in PDF -- how to fix?

    I've been given a PDF that I need to place in an ID file (ID CS3).
    Several fonts are not embedded in the PDF (Univers and Stone Informal) so Adobe MM fonts are being substituted, and I get error messages about the missing fonts when I place the PDF pages in my ID file.
    I do happen to have all of the missing fonts, but loading them (and restarting Acrobat) didn't fix the problem. The PDF was created on Mac (according to the properties) so maybe my PC version of Acrobat isn't recognizing my fonts as being the same (font internal names or something being different?). When I try using Text Touch-Up, I'm told that, for example, the Stone Informal system font isn't available.
    Is there any way to fix this problem? I have no way of getting the source files or another copy of the original PDF with fonts embedded.
    FWIW, when I open one of the PDF pages in PS, PS does find my versions of the fonts and gives me no error messages. And I can see that the fonts are showing up correctly in the PS file.
    But I'd rather not use a bitmap -- I want to use the original PDF if possible (if I can figure out how to embed my fonts in it).
    The final product, BTW, will be a press-ready PDF of the ID file.
    TIA,
    Marlene

    I've got Acrobat 8.
    So if there's no way to embed fonts in the original PDF, I assume they also will not embed when I drop the PDF into my ID file and then create a new PDF of the ID file?
    I guess my only viable option is to open the PDF in PS and save the pages as TIFFs, and drop those into ID. I really hate to do that -- too much tiny text that gets fuzzy.

  • PDFMaker in Excel 2010 does not appear after installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    I installed Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard for a user here at work on her computer with Windows XP and Office 2010 installed. She wanted the feature and/or plug-in that allows her to "Save as Adobe PDF" in Excel 2010 and then able to add/remove pages from a spreadsheet in Excel 2010 like this:
    Which brings it to this screen:
    We saw this feature with someone who has Acrobat X Standard. Is this feature available in Acrobat 9? If so, how do we enable it? We updated Acrobat 9 and nothing showed up.

    The PDFMaker function of Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Office 2010: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
    You can use Acrobat 9 to create PDF files though by choosing File > Print within Excel and selecting the Adobe PDF printer.

  • Thin Black Border on Video in Interactive PDF (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional)

    Hi
    I am having issues with embedded video in an interactive pdf (currently using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional).
    I have placed my media mp4 file in the pdf. I would like the video to have no border, so I proceeded to Multimedia Properties to edit the Appearance and set the Border Type to Invisible Rectangle. I also editted the Playback settings for the Rendition to keep the player open "Forever once activated." But every time I view pages in my interactive pdf with video there is still a thin black border surrounding the videos on initial play. If I have already viewed the video and come back to the page, the border dissapears.
    Is there a way to ensure the thin black border/outline never appears in the pdf, even when first opening and viewing the file? Does this have to do with the Acrobat 8 in particular? Please let me know if you are also encountering this problem or have a solution.

    Thank you so much for your help.
    I am now working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have embedded the same video. The borders have disappeared.
    I have set the video activation settings to enable when "The page containing the content is opened". When the page is opened, I am now seeing a grey box (the size of the video) flash before the video is played. Do you know of a way to not have the grey box appear before the video plays? Or is there even a way to edit the color of this box so it is a less noticeable transition in my documet? I assume this is some sort of default setting to be displayed when the video loads. Any suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

  • Not enough memory on adobe acrobat 9 for web page capture

    I use adobe acrobat 9 pro for creating a pdf with web page capture function.
    After a while (about more of 500 pages) the free ram became insufisant and the program stop.
    I am running on windows 7 with 4 Go ram.
    When i take a look on memory utilisation i see that adobe use more of 1.7 Go ram .
    During capture the ram is always increasing , i didnt see disk saving .
    Who has a idea ?

    The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save.  Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
    The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
    When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full".  If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error.  However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
    The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything).  The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
    We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
    We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem.  Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
    Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2.  The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size.  However, the API reports memory full.
    The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing.  When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
    Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have?  Are there known problems with large images in reports?  Do we need to lodge a formal support request?
    Regards,  Grant.
