PDF Fonts change when viewed in Adobe Reader

I'm producing a PDF which will be viewed online. It's being creating in Pages 09 and I export it to PDF.
In Preview the PDF is fine - no problems. But when I view it in Adobe Reader the fonts have changed. I've tried all the fonts listed in the Font collection "PDF" and most recommended for Web.
Just to give you a couple of examples Times becomes blurry in Reader, while Helvetica looks more like Verdana.
I didn't have this problem prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard. I'd really appreciate if anyone could help with this. Thanks.

Peter, my apologies for not getting back to you sooner than this, I've been away from my Mac since I posted this.
Thank you for your very kind offer to look at the files for me. In between time a friend has been over and apparently altered some settings on my iMac and the problem seems to have been resolved. (I hope!)
Thanks again - I daresay I'll be back with more questions before long...

  • The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader.

    The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader. How can I get rid of these? Why is this happening? The pdf was created from a presentation in powerpoint and uses the links for some interactivity. 

    That's a great feature request. I'd like the ability to turn off the blue boxes over hyperlinks as well.

  • PDF file pages missing when viewed in Adobe Reader XI

    Hi All,
    I have been made aware of a recent issue when viewing scanned PDF files in Adobe Reader XI. Pages are missing when the PDF file is viewed in Adobe Reader v.11.0.x though all pages are visible when file is viewed in Adobe Reader 10.1.5?
    I can confirm I have checked Show large images option under Preferences -> Page -> Display, though this doesn't appear to have made a difference. I have been able to replicate this same issue on several other machines.
    All machines checked and tested are running Windows 7 (64-bit).
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Never heard of such an issue.  Can you share such a PDF with the forum?  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

    That hardware button can actually be toggled to work either as a mute button, or a lock orientation button. This can be edited at the settings screen.

  • Color in PDF emailed from iPad change when viewed in Adobe

    Hi,
    I'm currently working on an app that will generate PDF's that were previously being generated by a different (Windows based app).
    I convert a UIView into a PDF, which works 100%. The problem is that when I email that PDF from the ipad to my PC and open it in Adobe the RGB value for all the green in the PDF is different, but not for the other colors. It is very very close to the correct color, it just looks dull compared to the original and Im developing for a client that says it has to be 100% identical.
    If I open both PDF's in preview then the RGB value is correct.
    I've tried fudging the values slightly and used every differnent color picker I could find to try get them to look the same, no luck.
    The RGB value im trying to get is: R:78 G: 135 B: 38.
    What im getting back is: R:62 G: 119 B: 57.              
    If you need any clarification about what ive said please let me know.
    Thanks in advance

  • PDF ebook- text is searchable in Adobe reader but not ADE?!

    I have a PDF ebook which has fully embedded fonts and internal hyperlinks, bookmarks and when viewed via Adobe reader is fully searchable. However when the same PDF is viewed in Adobe Digital Editions all navigational features remain but the text is not searchable?! This doesnt make sense- any help or advice would be grateful appreciated.

    Hi,
    What i understood from "searchable" is "searching text in a PDF document" , am I right?
    which version of Adobe Reader are you using ?
    Please also share the PDF file in which you are facing the problem in searching with Adobe Reader.
    Thanks.

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

  • I have an editable pdf made in Acrobat. Viewing it Adobe Reader Mobile (Android) and I can fill it fine. I want to be able to fill the form but it keeps autosaving. I just want to email the form and then it goes back to an unfilled form. How do i do that?

    Currently, Adobe Reader for Android does not provide an option to disable auto-save.
    In the Reader home screen (where your files are displayed), you can make a copy of the original PDF document, open the copy (instead of opening the original document), make changes to the copy.  Once you email the copy, you can delete it.
    For more information, please see Help > How To... > Copy, edit, delete, manage.
    Although it is not the most convenient way to accomplish the task, that's the only feasible workaround that is available in Adobe Reader for Android right now.

  • 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?

  • When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

    When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.  I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

    You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
    I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file.  Here is what I did/found:
    In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
    Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before.  The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
    One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
    I hope this helps others out there.

  • I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don't want my buyers to have to hassle with rotating.

    I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don’t want to hassle my buyers with rotating. There was no option in Preview to account for this automatic and unwanted rotation.

    Then you rotate it and SAVE or SAVE AS and it will remain that way.
