International characters not showing properly in Adobe PDF form?

I'm trying to help out a customer with an issue they have with a form.
They had a form created, but it doesn't show danish characters properly.
It's created in Adobe Acrobat Pro on a Mac.
As soon as I enter a danish character it shows some sort of gibberish, all other characters show correctly.
This happens both if the form is opened on a windows and on a mac.
I found an article with google talking about a font that needed to be installed, but being very inexperienced with mac, I'm a bit at a loss if it's in Acrobat or on the mac the font is to be added, and how to do that.
Anybody that can enlighten my darkened mind ? :-)

I've seen the same thing on Photoshop and Fireworks CS3, and even just the other day on iMovie '09, but I was still on Leopard – so are you sure it's Snow Leopard-related?
In my case, CS3 apps would show squares, and iMovie wouldn't even move the cursor (it wouldn't even let me enter curly quotes). With iMovie it was easily fixed by typing in TextEdit, then copying and pasting to iMovie. No success in CS3 apps, which categorically refused to enter any glyphs that weren't more or less standard Latin.

Thai characters not showing properly

Hi,
When creating a product catalog in thai language the characters do not show properly. The characters have small aspects attached to them that hover above as you can see here http://www.gte-premium.com but when editing in Indesign the small aspects that are meant to hover above overlap the portion of the character below and are not aligned left to right properly.
I have tried every thai-friendly font I can find but this does not fix the problem, how can I amend this?
Thanks in advance

If you're using a well-made font, you can probably get the tone marks to behave by turning on the World-Ready Composer. It's exposed in InDesign CC and CS6, in the Paragraph menu I think, but if you're using an earlier version of InDesign it's a hidden feature that you would need to use a script or a plugin to turn on.

International characters not showing

When some international character set is selected in Language
bar (windows), and typing text in the Freehand MX, garbage
characters are showed.
This is related to Freehand only, becouse when typing in any
other aplication (ms word, publisher, even notepad), proper
characters are shown.
Is there any settings that I need to change or any other
intervention for international characters to be used in FH ?
BTW even when pasting text containing international
characters to FH, the same problem is happening.
Thanks
Nicky

This is FreeHand only because FreeHand does not support as
wide character set (Unicode) as most of the apps.
There are language versions of FreeHand, like Hebrew, that
support some extended character sets but the standard English
version can handle about the set available in Type1 font.

International characters not showing up in certain apps?

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 and international characters aren't showing up. There are blank spaces where they used to be. The characters are still there, it's just that they appear as blank spaces (I can copy and paste them and see them elsewhere).
This change occurred after I installed 10.6. Is there any way to fix this?

International characters not showing up correctly in Podcast Title-Is UTF-8

In the 'Podcast Information' window that pops up, the Episode title is not getting rendered correctly but the details show up fine. Both have chinese characters.
Any pointers for resolving this would be appreciated.

If sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, then there must be a difference in the way you are doing it. And you can work out what's happening from analyzing what you're doing when it works compared with what you're doing when it doesn't work.
For example, if you type the description into the blogging software, you might just be typing the ' key. While some writing software (word for example) will automatically turn on smart quotes which your blogging software will be escaping into HTML code. The character ' doesn't need escaping, but smart quotes do.
Hope this helps,
Greg

KDE/Dolphin, Accented Characters Not Showing Properly.

What should look like this:
Hùg Air A' Bhonaid Mhòir
Looks like this:
01 HÃ¹g Air A' Bhonaid MhÃ²ir
My locale information is as follows:
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8

LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
I haven't any idea what to do, so I appreciate any input you can give me. Thanks.

I am guessing that you probably need to change either the Locale or the encoding info (i.e. UTF-8) in the Locale. Also possibly, (but less likely IMO) a change in fonts would fix the issue.

Word 2007 hyperlinks not showing up in converted PDF

Using Acrobat Standard (Windows) 9.5.2:
My Word 2007 hyperlinks not showing up in converted PDFs. This, even though I've got the Preferences set correctly (I believe -- see screenshot).
Please help!

Hi David,
I was printing directly to the Adobe PDF Printer. This is how I've always done it (for years). It always worked before.
I forgot all about going to the ribbon and attempting it that way — it worked!
Thanks very much for bringing this to my attention.
(I wonder why printing directly to the Adobe PDF Printer doesn't work…?)
Thanks again!

Special characters not showing

Hello, I am having a strange problem with showing special characters in the browser when I upload the site. (its fine when I view it on localserver)
For example on my website: http://www.reese-test2.co.uk/
if you do a search for example: 3GLG534WW - instead of seeing the degree symbol there is a �
it should read 35° beam angle not 35� beam angle
I know i could go through all 500 products and change the beam angle character on my SQL database to: 35°
But surely there is an easier way? This being a lighting website for my work I have other special characters that will also show up weird, so would be good if there was an easy fix to this. I am using WAMP, and DW CS6.
Is there a line of code I can add to my results.php page that will force the characters to show properly?
thanks
Sara

Hi Just thought I would update this post. My server provider said they cannot change the character set due to how they were set up, so had to do a find/replace in PHPmyAdmin - (SQL tab) instead.
Ken thanks for your idea. This didnt initially work for me, so googled it and had to make a couple of changes to the code, but this then worked. "Replace" needs to be in caps and the brackets removed.
Original:
update [table_name] set [field_name] = replace([field_name],'[° ]','[°]');
Correct:
UPDATE productsearch SET description = REPLACE ( description, ‘°’, ‘°’);
thanks for your help Ken Binney

New printer shows up as "Adobe PDF 8.0" in Print Utility. Why?

I already posted this info, but I'm hoping the new title will get other responses. I hooked up a Samsung CLP-300 to my Mac, installed the drivers, Went to Print Utility and selected "Add". The only thing in the list is "Adobe PDF 8.0". I tried selecting just for grins, but when I try to print to it nothing happens.
Note: I tried adding the printer before installing the drivers and it showed up as "Adobe PDF 8.0", but I was told I needed to install the drivers, but after doing so it still shows up as "Adobe PDF 8.0". Could it be that it is remembering that? I removed the printer but it keeps coming back as that name.
Thanks

Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

Mail app not showing some png and pdf attachments.

I'm using the iPhone 4s and recently, both mobileme and yahoo email accounts are not showing some png and pdf attachments. I'm seeing the attachment is there, but it doesn't load. Load remote images is turned on in settings. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution/explanation?

My work email account is an IMAP account.
I removed my work email account on my home computer this morning to test out this problem on my computer at work. I just sent a test message to my work account from my iPhone. My iPhone, iPad and computer at work still have my work email active on them and all the devices are showing the test message as new and unread. The problem seems to be that when I have my work email activated on my home computer, the messages do not show new and unread on the rest of my devices.
