Fonts problem after I converted to pdf from .ps file

I have completed a .ps file and then use the acrobat distiller to convert to pdf file and resulted in unreadable text. See below comments from the distiller:

Distill Time: 2 seconds (00:00:02)
Remarks: I can convert pdf file from another workstation successfully using the same .ps file
Can anyone help me, is there any problems in the setting of my workstation?

The problem is that your postscript file is using fonts Distiller cannot find. You have the list of fonts that Distiller wants. Locate them and notify Distiller by using the menu item Settings -> Font Locations

  • Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word?  They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

    Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF?  It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

    Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

  • Can't convert to pdf from word

    my wife uses adobe acrobat 6.0 standard with office 2003. The problem is that she can't convert to pdf from word. it works fine with an excel doc. but not a word. I did update to 6.0.1 and still nothing. There is no error message and the word document opens but nothing happens.

    I have exactly the same problem. Everything was ok untill a couple of months ago then after some auto updates the pdf buttons were no longer displayed in the word documents when it is open and if you try to convert it to pdf either by dragging the word file onto Adobe or highlighting the file and right clicking on it then selecting 'convert to Adobe PDF' it doesn't work. It looks like it attempts to do it by opening the word document but then nothing else happens. The only way I have been able to get it to convert to pdf is to go into the word document, click on file then print then select Adobe PDF then save to location. This is just a complete pain to do all the time especially when I need to convert a whole load of files in one go.
    Obviously the auto updates have effected it somehow but I can't work out where.
    I've tried uninstalling Adobe the re-installing it but it makes no difference.

  • Why does choosing "convert to PDF" from a Word Doc's context menu bring up two Save As dialog boxes?

    I have a user that every time she chooses "Convert to PDF" from the context menu on a MS Word document she gets a Save As box, enters the name and location, clicks Save. Then Word starts and it brings up another Save As box and makes her enter the name and save location AGAIN. It does then create the PDF, but it is very annoying to her as she makes lots of PDFs for our board of directors (she is our CEO). I have tried it on other PCs that have a similar setup, but none have done this. They all just run the converter window after one dialog box. Please HELP

    Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on?  If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
    Does your user have a custom template?  Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
    Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat??  If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

  • Help me!  converting to pdf from word, missing pictures and formating?

    I wrote a book, was able to create a press quality pdf without any problem during my free trial of acrobat pro xi, now that I have made edits and have bought acrobat, everytime I create a pdf from this (large) word file, some of the images are missing, some text is blurry, and my formatting is off.  It's maddening because it worked so easily before.
    Any help is much appreciated. 
    Also, for a company that charges so much for their products that they basically have a monopoly on, it's very annoying that I can't get some sort of tech support on the phone and this appears to be my only option.  VERY ANNOYING. 
    Anyhoo... thanks for any help from the forums/experts.

    I don't know what cause this and it's really annoying. I met the same problem when converting pdf from .docx file.
    The solution is, re-save your .docx file (Word Document) into .doc file(Word 97-2004 Document) first. Then save the .doc file as pdf. It worked for me.

    Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows  Word Program.  I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

    Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
    When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

  • Problem creating pdf from multiple files

    Hello,
    I'm running Windows XP SP3 with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.2.1.  When I try to create a one pdf from multiple files in Adobe Standard 8.2.1 the application just closes.  The two files I'm trying to combine into 1 pdf file are word files.   I'm able to create a single pdf of each word file by opening them separately in word and sending them to the acrobat printer.  I've tried combining other files also, but had no luck.  Windows events doesn't log anything under applications and no error message pops up when the application closes.
    Anybody have any ideas how to troubleshoot this issue or what could be causing the applicaton to just close? 

    I've read many discussions about Acrobat and problems with server files, with the general solution being what you are doing... copy the files to a local hard drive

  • What do I do to open a document after I convert a PDF to Word

    How do I open a document after I convert a
    PDF to a word document?

    You need Micosoft Publisher.
    I have seen a suggestion that you can send a .pub file here 
    https://www.pdfonline.com/convert_PDF.asp.
    to get it converted for free to pdf if it is less then 2MB. Bigger files need to be payd
    The link works but I have not tested the conversion.

  • Create multiple PDFs from multiple files

    Hi everyone
    I'm trying to use the "Create multiple PDFs from multiple files" function in Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.4.6) to create about 100 PDFs from InDesign CS5 files. Theoretically this would do the trick for my purpose. BUT: When running the function, it does not use the CS5 InDesign (version 7.0.3), but tries to open the files with InDesign CS3. Of course this does not work. We, as a professional working agency, have installed CS3, CS4 and CS5. Even with making the InDesign CS3 .app invisible an pushing it into the garbage bin during the process did not work. Acrobat still wants to access InDesign CS3. It is not possible to downgrade the files to CS3 files, for there are special (i.e. interactive) functions which only work in CS5. It would be more work than creating the PDFs manually, anyways.
    Does anyone have similar issues? Any ideas how to solve the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    OK, cool, I found one, which seems to work just fine.

  • How to create PDF from text file with specific layout?

    I wanted to create the pdf from text file in specific layout - Landscape orientation and JIS B3 Page size while at Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    In past, I could do a right click on a text file (desktop area) and select print to print out the document into .pdf BUT only if I set the Adobe PDF to Landscape and JIS B3 Page size BEFORE.  And I could only do 15 text documents at once.
    I wanted to see if I could do the create the pdf from text file with specific layout in Adobe Acrobat without having to go to Control Panel to preset the Adobe PDF to specific layout at every time.   I would have to set Adobe PDF back to normal layout after I'm done with these pdf print outs.  I do lots of pdfs in normal layout.  Sometimes I would forget to do that.
    So, How do I do that?

    No such luck.  It would output the contents in letter size even in JIS B3 Page layout at MS word. 
    Is there a script or action where I could set the orientation and page size before creating PDF on these text files?

  • Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    I'm not sure I understand the connection between iCloud and this problem.  Is it simply a problem of coincidental timing (ie, the problem happened after you set up iCloud)?  If so, there's almost certainly no connection between these two events.
    Where are you getting the files you're trying to open, and what specifically happens when you try to open them?

  • Creating PDF from multiple files results in file name AND chapter name both appearing in TOC.

    And all the bookmarks in that chapter nest directly under the file name. I would rather have just the chapter title appear with no file name in the TOC and the chapter bookmarks nested under that.

    Hi tekwrite1955,
    This is an expected behavior. When you create a pdf from any file it will list the filename in the TOC.
    You have to manually edit the bookmarks.
