Missing Letters throughout document

I have been working on compiling a number of smaller PDFs into one larger PDF for a manual I am working on. I had everything compiled a few days ago and a co-worker added a new pto the PDF yesterday that needed to be included. As I was proofing I have come to discover that on random pages there are missing letters that were not missing prior. I have done many searches but cannot find why this is happening or how to fix it. I have tried to replace these pages with the original PDF but every time I replace the page the letters continue to be missing. I have included a small example of the missing letters.
As you can see it is does not make any sense with the missing letters. IS there anyway to fix this problem without starting over? This is a 110+ page manual.
I am working with Adobe Acrobat Pro 10

My post # 3, June 24
I can document instances where several pdf's (from various sources) without embedded fonts are combined into one composite pdf.
Acrobat will not be able to successfully embed the fonts.
If however, all these original documents do have the fonts embedded, there are no problems rendering/printing the document.
Embedded and embedded subset are equal. Full subsetting is not necessary. (In the case of Open Type fonts there can be thousands of glyphs available which would increase pdf file size unnecessarily. Only the fonts used are embedded (subset).)

Some PDF Documents are Missing Letters when Printing

We use a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (64-bit) server as our print server. Ever since we moved our printers to this server, several of our existing PDF documents have missing letters when they print. If you modify your print properties and choose "Print as Image", the documents print correctly with no missing letters.
The missing letters seem to come in specific combinations, such as ti, ft, fa, etc.
Our previous print server was a Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) machine and these documents all printed fine on that server.
Are there any known issues with printing PDF documents on a 64-bit print server, or with 64-bit drivers?
Thank you for your time,
Jason

This response will hopefully help you towards a solution—I have not encountered the specific problem you are facing.
The image you posted shows the fonts that are embedded in your document: both Calibri and Myriad Pro. However, the second instance of Calibri indicates that some some of the Calibri characters were encoded differently, and I suspect based on the combo characters you listed, these are glyphs and are what your printer is having trouble processing.
The usual solution for print server issues is to make sure all drivers and firmware are updated.
The answer to your question regarding embedding fonts completely is to change your Adobe pdf print preferences to embed all fonts, not just a subset. This must be done when the pdf is being created initially. You can change font embedding by choosing a joboption like Press Quality that includes full font embedding or by modifying the joboption you are already using. In Windows, you can do this at the time of print by selecting the Advanced button next to the printer selection dropdown and changing settings there, in advance by modifying the printing preferences from your printers menu, or by editing the joboptions in Acrobat Distiller.

Preview: PDFs generated with Oracle RS are missing letters

Hi,
When I open PDFs in Preview which were created using "Oracle10gR2 AS Reports Services", some letters are missing. The documents aren't corrupted and appear valid on other platforms or in other applications. Is there any solution/fix for Preview? As I'm quite happy with Preview I don't want to install the Adobe reader and I can't change the document generator, as my University's support says "it works on Win/Adobe, hence use them instead..."
TIA, JC

Same exact issue. Very annoying. My workaround is to Cntrl-click on the pdf report and choose Open With... and use Adobe Reader. But I like using Preview because it's so easy to highlight or circle items, and add other annotations. I don't want to have Adobe Reader be my default reader.
I wish someone would trouble-shoot this and offer up a real fix. I may contact our IT folks--but there aren't that many Macs where I work, so it won't be a high priority for them.

Keyboard envy dv7 - missing letters

I've noticed while I'm typing in a document/email, etc., I have a lot of missing letters, forcing me to back up and fix them. I'm not a particularly fast typer, but I did not have this problem when I was using another HP laptop with Windows 7. Now I'm using not only a newer computer but Windows 8. I recently upgraded my bios with no improvement. Anything else I can check or adjust?

Could just be you're hitting the touchpad when typing since it's a different laptop.

Exporting to PDF - Missing letters InDesign CS5

I'm using CS5 at work. My boss already had a commercial font, the Helvetica Neue serie. I'm using that font right now in an InDesign document for our yearly catalogue.
The InDesign file is perfect, pictures and texts. But when I translate it to a PDF, letter go missing, 'li' 'ni' 'lo' and sequences of letters like that, all around the catalogue.
I know there are some threads that talk about missing letters but in previous versions of InDesign.
Anyone got an idea ?
I created once of twice PDFs without that problem, so I wonder what is happening ?

should I change font then ? it's kindda late, it's uploading with corrections right now to China....
Well, if what you have works for you, and if it's already on its way, then it's a bit late to change the font or change the way you made the PDF.
For the future, though, it would be good for you to figure out what went wrong. Now, I don't have a full set of Helvetica (horrors! I work in a nonprofit), so I had to try this with other fonts. I picked Minion Pro at first, actually. I exported all kinds of PDFs, both for print and for interactive, and I couldn't make the ligatures drop. And I viewed it in my browser as well as opened from the desktop, I tried it with generic Times, I tried it in many, many ways. I was not able to reproduce your issue.
It'll be worth the time spent digging if you can figure this out. Here are my guesses:
1) You folks are using a plugin or another app or some non-Adobe PDF viewer in your browsers. I remember in the early days of... um... I think it was Preview on the Mac circa 10.3? it would sometimes mess up display of ligatures in embedded fonts.
2) Everyone in your organization has the same corrupt version of Helvetica. (A very, very long shot.)
3) There's a bug in the Interactive PDF export. (Another very, very long shot.)
4) The font is not actually embedding correctly in the interactive PDF for unknown reasons, and we can't tell.
Anyhow, if it's a problem with your setup or your working methods, better to find out now rather than later. And if it's a bug, same. I'd start by trying to export interactive PDFs with other fonts that do have ligatures to see if you can narrow it down to "just ligatures" or "just Helvetica."

Keyboard missing letters as i type

I bought my laptop about 6 weeks ago and this has been a problem since day 1.I tried to chat with online suppot but the chap did not help me. When I type, every now and then the cursor freezes and - whilst it has frozen - the subsequent letters i type do not appear. Then it will unfreeze and the letters will continue as i type.This happens randomly and sporadically. It doesn't matter if I am typing fast or slowly, it still happens. As a result - say I were to type the line 'I went for a walk in the rain. I saw a black dog. I waved and said hello....'
It might appear something like: 'I went for a walk in the rin. Iaw a black dog. Iwaved andsaid hllo....'
As ilook up at the screen i see that what i intended to type has not appeared. Very frustrating and it is becoming time consuming with work and emails as i have to constantly correct. It is also an issue whilst entering passwords. ********* etc. Just wondering if someone can suggest help / a fix for this issue??? Thanks in advance.

Missing letters when typing on Satellite M105

I am using a Satellite M105-S3084 (Windows XP MCE) and have been unsuccessfully struggling with a keyboard problem since I first bought it. I tend to type fast, especially double letters and find that very often only one of the double letters shows up on screen. For instance "kk" would result in "k" only and similar missing letters even if not doubled. This causes a lot of wasted time correcting what I type.
I know that there are settings under Control Panel\Keyboard ("repeat delay" and "repeat rate") that permit setting speeds, but I have found them frustrating to use. I've tried both at various settings and still have a problem with missing letters. Maybe I just do not know which way to set which setting and I am just getting frustrated, or there is another setting somewhere else whic I do not know about.
Have others had this problem with mising letters while typing and found a solution?
Thanks.

Hello Jeff
If I am remembering well there was similar issue with Satellite L10 or L20, I can not remember. This was fixed with new BIOS version. US notebook models are not known to me but if you have time you can check Ask IRIS on US Toshiba page. There you can find many interesting documents.
Check it under http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/supportcentral/supportcentral.do?id=m1
Maybe you will be lucky and find something about your issue with keyboard.

Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM keyboard frequently misses letters when I am typing

When I am typing on my Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM I frequently miss letters and spaces. I have a USB keyboard plugged in, but the missing letters happens on both the laptop's keyboard and the USB keyboard. I did not notice this issue happening before I installed a Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station. However, I am a bit baffled since this problem happens even when the docking station is not connected and I am just using the integrated notebook keyboard.
I use Windows 7 Home Premium.
Would someone be able to tell me what to do, if anything, to resolve this issue? It's really frustrating to have to constantly spell check to try and catch the errors!

Hi MrsJP. Try updating the BIOS in your notebook. Go to this link http://goo.gl/rk8CV and select which version of Windows 7 you are using and click next. It will display all downloads available for your notebook, including the BIOS update.
Here http://goo.gl/wTZr6 is a document that will hopefully answer any questions about finding and updating/installing your BIOS.
Please let me know if this fixes your issue or if you need anything else.

Display problem- Missing letters

Hello there,
I had a display problem with my 15" mac book pro. Sometimes the words on the menu bar will have missing letters. For example, F le Ed t Vi w and etc. This does not only happen in the main interface, it also occurs when I'm browsing websites (the contents have missing letters too)or open other applications(iphoto, imovie) The problem is getting worse these days, I 'll have to restart my computer every single time when it happens.
Does anyone have any solution to this technical issue?
Thank you very much,
Lilly

I tried IVMichael's suggestion above and had no joy, but when i restarted i found a file called /Users/your_name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServicesQuartantined
after deleting that and restarting i seem to have solved the problem.
Good luck

Repair for missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu?

Can someone suggest how to repair a missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu? I'm using CS5 Indesign.
There's no option for it greyed out or otherwise. It originally had dissappeared while using CS4. I gave up on it. Installed CS5 and hoped it would come back: nada. I did the Ctrl-Alt-Shift thing and deleted prefs file: Still no recent docs option. VERY IRRITATING.
There's got to be a way. But I'm not informed enough. Help, please?

This is easily fixed...took me a while to find out how.
Go into Preferences, click on File Handling...you will then see a page with 'Saving InDesign Files' in the middle section (See attached screen grab). You'll see a box next to 'Number of Recent Items to Display' which I'm assuming will be '0'...change this to any number up to 99. Click OK. Close InDesign. Reopen InDesign...Open a file, close the file...you will now see the 'Open Recent' link when you click on file.
Problem solved.

"AdobeFnt13.lst" file missing in the document fonts folder

Hello,
I have a bug with Indesign CS5, the "AdobeFnt13.lst" file is now missing in my document fonts folders, even after reinstall of ID.
I deleted the Preferences folder, font cache etc. nothing works so far.
An idea someone ?

YES !
It's solved now.
In fact I had a bug with the colour panel a week before this problem and I reinstalled ID a first time (back to the 7.0 version).
I didn't know about this patch.
Thank you very much !

Missing letters

All of a sudden when I turn on my computer in the am, my file name and drop down menus are missing letters. Like if the file name was "energyFile.doc", if might show up as " ne gyF e.d " Same with my drop down menus. I have run TechTool Pro on it - BTW 10.4.11. If I restart the computer, sometimes it helps other times it does not - any suggestions out there?

Sounds like a flaky Font, or second guess RAM.
