Incorrect Fonts When "Printing" Webpage to .pdf

When I "print" a webpage to a .pdf file, I occasionally get an incorrect font.  For example, if I print a Wikipedia page, the font in the saved file will be Times New Roman.  The font on the webpage looks to be Arial.  I'm assuming it is a setting in the Adobe Printer preferences.  I just can't seem to find the right setting.  Any help is appreciated.

If the web page does not have a printable view option (a print button or printer icon that you can click on), then it is formatted for screen only. These types of sites often do not print nicely. The only alternative, is to try and select the parts that you want to print and then copy and paste them into a word processor or text editor for printing.

    Is anyone else experience their browser crashing when printing webpage to PDF?  This only happens in IE8.  This feature works fine in firefox.
    Thanks!

    Thanks - but Firefox is not supported by my employer and we are restricted to use of Internet Explorer.  I appreciate you taking the time to try and help though   Anyone else have any thoughts?  This is so frustrating not to be able to open pdfs online.

  • Why do I see incorrect fonts when I create PDFs from Word

    When I first started using Acrobat (versions 3 through 5), it was an incredible product because it could create an exact copy of a document I created with a DTP program. I could send that PDF to someone who did not have the DTP program, yet the recipient saw exactly what I created in the DTP program. That's what made Acrobat great. It worked flawlessly.
    Now I have Acrobat Pro XI, and I can't create a PDF from Word and get the correct fonts. I've seen quite a few messages on this forum and elsewhere indicating that other people have this problem, too. But I haven't found a solution. I've tried many things that are suggested--embed fonts, don't embed fonts, and different settings. Nothing seems to work. I've spent hours on this insted of doing the job I am paid for (writing). So I'd be very glad if anyone knows how to fix this.
    A few specifics:
    - Using Word 2010 and Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.3. Windows 64 bit.
    - Most fonts are OK, but some appear to be substitutes. For example, some headings that are supposed to be Tahoma bold-italic come out as something different. It's a lighter weight font. I don't know what it is.
    - Creation method from Word: Acrobat Tab, Create PDF or File > Save As PDF. Either way I get the wrong fonts.
    - Print to Adobe PDF printer DOES produce the correct fonts, but this doesn't help because you don't get bookmarks (which are a critical part of our final PDF product).
    - At one point it seemed that a Word setting, File > Options > Save > Preseve fidelty when sharing this document, but it didn't always work.
    - I've seen this same problem on four computers, all using Word 2010 and Acrobat Pro XI.
    Some messages suggest that rolling back to Acrobat 8 will solve this problem. It's hard to believe that's the only solution.

    I was starting to think this might be an issue with font fauxing (I think that's the tech term). You've confirmed it.
    Here's what can happen.
    Font designers design a font, and (if they have the enthusiasm) bold and italic and bold-italic versions of the font. If you compare carefully, you will see that they are often quite different designs (look at lower case "a" for example, you'll often see that different in italic). Anyway, in an ideal world the font designer has provided four font files. Choose the bold/italic buttons in Word and it (well, actually Windows) picks the right font file. 
    But Word never forbids you from choosing those buttons even if the font files aren't there. (As an aside, pro design tools like InDesign WILL stop you choosing a style for which there is no font file, because what happens next in Word is considered evil).
    If you ask Windows (or Mac OS) to show you a font in italic and there is no italic font file, it will take the regular file and slant each character. This may look different from the italic design font, it may also have different spacing. But to the casual word processor user, all is fine. (The pro designer says "oh my, look at that"). No bold? The font letters get thickened up somehow, often with ugly results, but the casual user is happy, because it's clearly the same font and clearly bolder. These processes are called "fauxing" (from making a faux or fake font).
    But what happens in a PDF? PDFs will not faux fonts, and they don't have to. If you make a PDF it's like printing. To print a faux italic font, a slanted font prints. Generally looks no worse than the screen font. To print a faux bold font there are several different techniques, all ugly. One is to print several copies of each letter, slightly set off from each other but overlayed. This isn't only ugly, copy/paste often yields something like BBBOOOLLLDD TTTEEEXXXTTT. Often the printed bold faux font doesn't look much like the screen bold faux font. And here we have your situation exactly.
    Now, I see only Tahoma and Tahoma-Bold on my computer too. You could see if anyone seels an Italic/BoldItalic version, or if they are bundled with some Microsoft software (which you'd need to own, the fonts can't be freely copied). But really this is sending the message - use a different font. I'd use Arial, where Windows has had all four files included since Windows 3.1 was released.

  • Issue with HelveticaNeue text not being included when printing to Adobe PDF?

    I have a document (Word 2010 docx) with a section of HelveticaNeue text on the front page that when printing through Adobe PDF the text does not appear.
    Using Acrobat 9.4.6
    Tried the same document with:
    Win2Pdf - Displays correctly
    Converted to .doc - Displays correctly
    File\Save as PDF - Dispalys correctly
    Any ideas? I can post the document up here but I can't see an option to.

    You can try disabling the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts” option in printer properties.
    To do the same.In MS Word:
    Goto File -> Print
    Select Adobe PDF as printer.
    Click on "Printer Properties".
    Go to "Adobe PDF Settings" tab.
    Uncheck the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts”
    Click Ok and try printing the document
    Also update your Acrobat to latest version 9.5.0.

  • InDesign freezes when printing to a PDF and have Outlook open

    I am not a patient person by nature. So, while I am waiting for my InDesign document to collect all its info before asking me where to save my printed PDF, I go compose an email in Outlook. When I do this, the dialog box for me to browse for the folder I would like to save the PDF to and the Outlook window disappear. What is going on?

    This type of issue probably relates to the amount of system resources and virtual memory used by each of the programs - i.e. InDesign and Outlook - but not to bugs particular to either one. Outlook (including Outlook 2007) uses a tremendous amount of virtual memory (possibly up to a three gigabyte limit) and by extension, real memory when you have a large number of messages in your active InBox or whatever folder(s) are open. Similarly, when printing or exporting PDF, InDesign calls in a number of resources, especially the Adobe PDF Library and the Adobe Graphics Manager, that also have a tremendous hunger for virtual memory space, especially if you are working on a very complex document. When I've seen this type of problem or better when I proactively want to avoid this problem when I know I am exporting very large, complex documents, I close down Outlook and often save my InDesign document, close InDesign, and restart InDesign. Sometimes, rebooting my system minimizes this problem. And it is possible that you have specified too small a paging file or have run out of disk space for paging files if you let the system handle this matter automatically.
    My perception is that with my migration of my main system to Vista 64-bit with a larger amount of main memory and larger available address spaces, I haven't recently seen this problem reoccur.
    By the way, I've seen similar issues if you have InDesign and Photoshop open and then try to open Illustrator - it simply craps out without any rational message. Open Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop in that order and Photoshop won't hog the systems' virtual memory.

  • Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

    Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

    'Cuz that's what mail merges do.  They create multiple documents based on the parent doc and all the names/addresses in your data tables.
    Perhaps if you describe exactly what you're trying to do & why you need PDF, we can point you to relevant tutorials.

  • When printing web based .pdf or regular .pdf I get message "This document failed to print"

    When printing web based .pdf or regular .pdf I get message "This document failed to print".  I've ran the HP Diagonistic tool and no errors are found.  I've gotten the same message on many different .pdf's so I don't believe it is a margin issue.

    Are the static IP addresses inside the DHCP range?  If so, move them to ones outside the range.
    Also, have you set the IP address in the printers' embedded web pages (via IP address in a browser) to match the ones set in the router? 
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Long files hierarchy causes autocad to crash when printing to a pdf

    Long files hierarchy causes autocad to crash when printing to a pdf.

    Tylerdowner,
    Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. No change. The only thing that seems to consistently resolve the problem is disabling the Flash plugin.
    I tried creating a new profile, but when I transfer the data suggested in this:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    I get an error window when opening firefox with the new profile ...something about security settings not working correctly...but I can print every time even though the Flash plugin appears to be installed and enabled. So I assume there is some kind of problem with my current profile. Any suggestions on how to find and correct it or a way to get most of my data into a new profile...that works...would be appreciated.

  • Strange font when printing pdf with Reader X

    Hello,
    Who can help? I recently upgraded from Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 to Adobe Reader X. Since then, a strange problem occurs. When printing a pdf files to a printer, the font is changed. When viewing the file on the screen and printing them with version 9, everything is OK. The Arial font appears as it should. But when printing, a very ugly font type appears. The pdf files I use contain only a 'standard' Arial and Myriad Web font.This problem is very annoying.
    Can somebody help? I use version 10.0.1

    If you go the attached web page:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/reader/
    (http://www.adobe.com/support/reader/) ,  you
    will see "download an older version" underneath
    the Download Adobe reader.
    If you click in this link (download an older version), you
    can pick from version 8 and 9.
    Since erasing version 10 and downloading version 9.4,
    my problem has gone away completely.
    As with you, I consider this a major problem. It certainly added
    a lot of grief to my life when I could not trust my printer
    output at all.
    Hope this helps.

  • CR for VS2010 - font when printing (what you see is not what you get)

    If anyone can help resolve this issue, I would be very grateful!
    We use VS 2010 with the production Crystal Reports for VS 2010.  I deployed a web site to production on a Win 2008 r2 server with IIS 7.
    When the user runs a report (we have it set to be pdf), the font used by the report displays properly.  When printing, it prints with a different font.  The correct font is Old English.  I believe it is printing in arial.
    I installed the font on the server.  I gave rights to the fonts directory for the web site.  I ran the redistributable.  I'm not sure what else to try.

    Yes, I do mean client-side. 
    Also, the crystal report viewer control print mode set to pdf instead of Active X. 
    We had issues with users being able to install the Active X viewer. 
    The font has been installed on the client.
    When you stated "Print Control is via binary page descriptors, where the font composition is turned to printable images on the client-side" ---  Does that mean that certain fonts or even font types may not work?
    Thank you for your help.

  • "Text on a path" and "paths" rasterised when printed from a PDF on an iGen

    I have just obtained from the printer the first proof of my book (printed on an iGen) and I'd like to find out where one of the problems lie. I'll ask the printer his opinion before second proof, but I don't like to annoy him unnecessarily.
    One of the chapters in the book has a lot of maps. I drew rivers by stroking a path, and named the rivers using 'Text on a Path' so that the text follows the curve of the river. Some of the maps have a pale background image on a different layer. And this is where the problem seems to lie.
    1. Rivers (and their names) appear normal on a map WITHOUT a background. By 'normal' I mean they look sharp. When magnified they seem to have been drawn as vectors.
    2. On maps WITH a background layer, 'Text on a path' appears very chunky (as if it has been rasterised at about 300 dpi) and paths (the rivers) appear to have the jaggies. Horizontal text does not appear to be affected.
    I can't be certain that (1) and (2) exactly define the problem, but it's as close as I can get at the moment.
    When I opened the original PDF file from which the book was printed, no matter how much I enlarge it, all paths and 'type on a path' retain their smoothness. i.e they are obviously vectors. However, I noticed when I opened the PDF in Acrobat 7 and tried to edit the 'text on a path', the PDF went haywire: the text I tried to edit disappeared, and other text frames on the page were shifted around.
    A sample PDF (6.7 MB, including an original two-page spread, and a scanned copy of the iGen print of the same), can be downloaded from:
    http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oe4omuzoqzz
    Two questions:
    Q1: On the maps with a background image, is the rasterising of stroked paths, and 'text on a path' due to the iGen mishandling the file? Or might there be another explanation?
    Q2: Re Acrobat 7 mishandling my 'text on a path': is this a bug that has been fixed in later versions of Acrobat?
    To reproduce this bug do this: Open the PDF described above, and within Acrobat 7 select Tools > Advanced Editing > Touchup Text Tool. Then click inside the name "Georgina River", backspace to try and delete a letter, and the PDF should go haywire.

    Sandee: Almost certainly below the text, but I'd have to check them all.
    But before I do that, we'll have to go back a step. I can almost handle layers in InDesign, but didn't know they existed in PDFs. The printer printed from the PDF and as far as I can tell after a brief visit to HELP, there aren't any layers in the PDF. When I go to View > Navigation Tabs > Layers and click on the Layer Tab when it appears, there's nothing there; and all the items under Options are grayed.
    Q1: Why do I need a layer in a PDF? By not having layers, can that cause problems?
    Q2: Re Robert's suggestions: what do you mean by "move all the text to a top layer"? Within InDesign before I export to PDF?
    Q3: Is printing more foolproof when I export to PDF, if all my text is on the one layer in InDesign and that layer is above any images? There are several hundred river names, place names etc, sitting on lower layers, but if need be I'll move them all.

  • Elements dropping off my files when printed from a PDF

    Please can anyone help... I am running InDesign CS1, I have recently designed a leaflet which included dotted lines for answers to questions.
    To make the dotted lines I used the full stop button (rather than the dotted line option on the line tool). Because the file had an awkward bleed area it was necessary to create a PDF file (using the inDesign PDF export option at High Resolution, no compressions) to lay the document up ready for print.
    However when I printed the document to a networked Colour Copier and to the Platemaking system the lines had mysteriously dropped off... Unfortunately I didn't spot that they weren't on the Platemaker Preview because they hadn't appeared on the Colour Copy (which I use to compare the two for errors) and so a 10,000 print run later and the job was rejected. Does anyone know why this has happened?
    If I print directly from the original InDesign document they show perfectly. If I print the same PDF layup from InDesign CS2 they don't show. Yet if I print from InDesign CS4 they print perfectly from exactly the same file, so I don't think it can be down to the PDF or the typeface (which is standard Helvetica Light).
    I obviously can't afford for this to happen again and it would be good to know if there is something I can do to prevent it... In a perfect world all 3 machines in the office would be running the same version, but in the current financial climate we can't afford to upgrade. I would use CS4 all the time, but for the other two computers which would never be able to open the InDesign files again. It doesn't make sense to me as EVERYTHING was created on the CS1 machine, so I would assume that the machine and software would be able to use it's own programming without issue.
    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Why are you using the line tool or full stops for this? Use a right indent tab and use a "full stop" in the leader

    http://indesignsecrets.com/tab-leaders-part-2-formatting-leaders.php
    I'm not clear on what version of InDesign you are referring to - CS1, CS2, CS4?
    As for why it's not appearing, that is a mystery? Any screenshots ?

  • Formatting Issues When Printing from a PDF

    I am currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in Windows 7.  I have been printing or saving documnts as PDF's without issues until today.  I have created a document in Microsoft Publisher and have saved it as a PDF.  When I open that document, it appears on screen just as the original file in Publisher.  My issues are when I print from the PDF document.  When I print from the PDF, the formating for footers is not saved.  For example.  I might have a blank page with a page number at the top and a footer containing my company name on the bottom of the page.  When I print that page, the page number is where it is suppose to be, but the footer is moved to right under the page number at the top of the page.   I have been printing PDF from Publisher for years using these same versions of Adobe and Publisher.  Does anyone know why the formatting is not printing correctly?
