.pdf from quark has missing fonts

Hi. using acrobat professional 9.
Sorry if I have the wrong place...
I have a hi-res .pdf on my system at work made from an outside printer/vendor. Apparently the fonts are missing/not embedded. Looks like it was made on a macintosh computer because I cannot open the font files they gave us. I tried opening the file in Quark 7. Fonts are missing there also. I have the fonts installed on my system but the names are different. Ex. StneSansBld is Stone Sans Bold or something like that.... or they are on the system, but Quark won't read them.
Anyway, is there anything I can do with this .pdf without the fonts embedded? I thought of bringing it tinto Photoshop & flattening it, but then the text won't be as crisp, right? If I work with the Quark file, the text is all weird. The tracking values are off.
I am hoping there is a way to solve this from just using the .pdf & staying away from the Quark file made from 2004.
Thanks for any help...

I need this file so that I can send it to another printer to print a lot cheaper.
Fonts show up in Acrobat correctly. Fonts appear to be embedded when I do a Ctrl + D. There is a list of fonts that I see. In Quark they look weird or it prints weird. If I drop this .pdf into InDesign...........I get a list of fonts that are missing. Even the same ones that are listed in Acrobat. I do not get it. I am trying to get the vendor to send a free .pdf with embedded fonts. All they have done so far is send PC versions of the fonts they used & that did not work for me........
This file is from 2004 so they may have problems..........I don't know
Appreciate your answers/help on this.

Problem printing to PDF from IE 9 - some Fonts don't reproduce correctly.

When I print some pages to PDF from IE 9 some fonts print fine, but some seem scrambled. It's as though the real font has been replaced with a symbol font, or just random characters. If I copy and paste the apparently random text to Word, it is back to what it's supposed to be. It's like the pdf converter is substituting some fonts, but not all.

Acrobat is not compatible with IE 9, it was released after Acrobat X.

Imported text from word, all missing fonts found, but still have pink boxes for Turkish language

Hi,
I placed a document from word. The body font is ITC Garamond. Apparently ITC Garamond doesn't have some Turkish characters. Adobe Garamond however, does. So I was going through and selecting each pink box and changing the character to a new character style I created which is the Adobe Garamond Font. Surely there's an easier way to do this rather than me selecting each pink box? Can GREP do this? I would use the Find Font dialogue, but it shows all fonts as being fine, it doesn't show any missing fonts. So this seems to just be a wierd issue with ITC Garamond not having those special characters.
I know what you're thinking, why not just make my body font Adobe Garamond Pro.... Well I can't right now. Not for this job. Maybe in the future I will, but for not it has to stay ITC Garamond condensed Book.
Also, I should note that in the preflight panel, InDesign does not show the document as having any missing Glyphs either.... so Peter's Glyph script won't work.
Thanks in advance.

In your case I would not add or change a character style, change your paragraph style. A mix between 2 similar fonts looks terrible. You might need a character style for language purposes, to get through with hyphenation correctly, but this is a different thing.
To change a font globally go to search font and replace and redefine styles.
But if you really does not want to change the font you can crate a character style. And in your paragraph style go to GREP styles and select this chara style and write all glyphs and letters where you need this character style.
Take care, if you use a different font you might have to scale in advanced properties, so that a glyph from the other form fits to the rest of the text.

Can't make PDFs from Quark using Acorbat 8

I am using Quark 9
My acrobat is version 8.0
When I go to "print" to PDF, Quark prints places the file in it's printing cue.
It then stops.
I click resume printing and it begins to print but then stops and disappears from the cue, never creatign a PDF on my desktop.
Why it stops in the cue is beyond ne, it shoudlnt do that.
My os is 10.7.5
By the way, I can make a PDF by exporting from Quark as a PDF but that yeilds a very big file size wise.
For example a 50-54 meg PDF for a front of a standard size color postcard.
I need to be able to create a PDF of any documentI am working on and one thats a basic PDF, fro example a PDF of the postcard I am working on should be around 1-2 megs
So, I need help in getting acrobat to work properly for me with Quark 9
Any help appreciated
Jack Frisch

I use Quark's print window.
I set "printer" to Acrobat 8 and PPD to acrobat 8
I then do standard printer settings: I position my document as centered etc etc.
I then click Print
I've used Quark and Acrobat for uses on sight at jobs as well as home.
I've never had any issues.
I have'nt been able to get my current mac at home to work.
I'm tired of exporting my documents out of Quark as PDFs under Quark's "file" menu, its not the corrct way and doesnt provided control liek the Quark print window
It works ok ubtcreates very large file sizes, which is not alwasy good for me

Saved PDF from Stored Procedure missing application item in report header

I am able to create and save the pdf from a stored procedure however the application item that contains the date is blank in the saved pdf. Report title displays correctly when running via APEX. I have tried to set this value with, apex_util.set_session_state('F111_DATE',sysdate); and also as a cookie owa_cookie.send('F11_DATE',to_char(sysdate,'Month DD, YYYY'));
and neither of these statements work. Example of code below...
vRequest := Utl_Http.begin_request(vReportUrl,'POST');
Utl_Http.set_header(vRequest, 'User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0');
owa_cookie.send('F11_DATE',to_char(sysdate,'Month DD, YYYY'));
apex_util.set_session_state('F111_DATE',sysdate);
vResponse := Utl_Http.get_response(vRequest);
Apex version 3.2/ 11g

Save as PDF from Word 2007 missing graphics

A similar question has been asked before, but it's still marked "unanswered" and I still don't know what's going on. All I really wanted to do today was update my resume...
Sometime during the last two months of 2014, I lost the ability to see graphics like text boxes and images when saving a Word 2007 document as a PDF. I've tried saving it from the "Save As..." option, I've tried saving it from the Acrobat tab, I've tried printing it to PDF - nothing works. If you can visualize this, on the first PDF, a blank space shows up in place of the text box, and on the other PDF, you'd never even know there had been an image inserted at the beginning of the line.
Does anyone know if this is a Word problem or an Adobe problem? Has an otherwise well-intentioned update (to either program) screwed this up? I'm using Windows 7 and the Firefox browser.

Are they really missing or there are place holders there? Have you gone to the preferences and turned on View Large Images? As an unrelated comment, do you really want images in a resume? Maybe if you are a graphic artist or such, but images are not common in most resumes I have seen and I would not expect such. However, that is really your choice, just wanted to comment.

When trying to create a PDF from a website the font doesn't convert properly to a readable format

Hello,
As the title states when I find something on a website that I want to create a PDF with, the font that's readable from the website converts once the PDF is created to an unknown format that isn't readable in any language. I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and quite the novice at using Acrobat, so any info would be a great help. Did try and search around the forum for the issue but I wouldn't really know what to type as I'm not familiar with what the text is converting to.

Ok so I go to a web page and select something to print. Once I've clicked print I switch over from printer/micosoft xps docu writer/fax and select Adobe PDF. All goes through with a 'Create Adobe PDF' coming up progressing through to eventually save and store. Once I open the file it end up as the picture above. I have the same version on another computer and that works fine but this particular Sony laptop it doesn't seem to work properly.

Exporting PDFs from Quark 6.1 under Leopard

Hello,
Recently installed Leopard. Using Quark 6.1 and need to export PDF. Previously, I'd use the handy "Export Layout as PDF" command found under the File menu. No longer seems to work since Leopard came along. I now get a message"Unable to create the Project1.pdf file."
Any ideas?
I know that I can export a PDF through the "Print" command, but when I print the resulting PDF, it's highly pixellated.
Is this a matter of updating Quark or possibly obtaining a plug in of some sort?
Thanks for reading.

Perhaps it would be easier to upgrade your 6.0 to the same release as your other cluster?

Missing Fonts in PDF

Hello everybody
I have a font problem somwhere in the chain Powerpoint->PDF->InDesign. When i Import the generated PDF, InDesign is reporting missing fonts in it. Now, there is a difference in which and where the fonts are missing (11 vs 31 errors) depending on which way i use to generate the PDF
a) via "publishing as PDF" from Powerpoint 2010
b) via "Print as" using the PDF printer
When checking the PDF's, i can see that corresponding fonts were embedded into the PDF (it might be that there is some confusion about naming of these fonts. For instance, PDF reports an embedded font "Arial" with "Actual name: ArialMT" while Indesign is simply missing "Arial", without any further information except that it has the status "not embedded").
Strangely, there also are missing fonts that i can find nowhere in the Powerpoint file (But several people worked on this presentation). I tried several versions and installations of Windows/Powerpoint/InDesign, without luck.
Workaround for now is export all slides as PNG. Any ideas what i can do to solve this problem?
Many thanks for assistance,
Andreas

Part of your problem is associated with PowerPoint 2010.
Microsoft's "save as PDF" leaves a bit to be desired at best.
Acrobat 9 (and obviously the earlier versions of Acrobat) do not support any of the Office 2010 components via the PDFMaker component.
If you print to the "Adobe PDF" PostScript printer driver instance from PowerPoint 2010 to create PDF, make sure you use joboptions that embed all fonts. The "out of the box" Standard joboptions do not do that. Try High Quality Print joboptions instead.
(The next full version of Acrobat will fully support PDFMaker with Office 2010! Even then, it will be critical to set joboptions that embed all fonts with no exceptions!)

Missing Fonts in PDF rush print job!

Question:
Have a brochure supplied by client that has missing fonts, I do not have these fonts. I have to open the brochure in Illustrator to do alteration as no bleed was included in artwork.
Illustrator is going to use a substitue font which is of no use at all. Customer is unavailble for a few days, they have gone bush, and the brochure needs to be printed by the time they get back.
Job has to be done no if's or but's what do you do??
Please help!

What you don't do is use Illustrator! Hard to say without seeing the job but what I'd do is place it in Indesign and try and add the bleeds from there. Mostly you can place it on a page the same size, copy, paste in place, crop it to a sliver of the edge of the page and then stretch that sliver to give you fake bleed. Even on pictures! Try it and see!
If it is a picture my next step would be to open it in Acrobat and try and make two PDFs, one with the background, one with the rest. Then combine them again in Indesign, leaving the rest the same size but enlarging the background. Much easier if you have Enfocus Pitstop Pro, but maybe possible with the Acrobat Object Touchup tool.

Missing Fonts in my inDesign file...

Just recently completed an inDesign file, but it is telling me it has missing fonts. The file was originally started in CS4 by a coworker and completed by me in CS5. I'm confused because the fonts show up in the file, but still are classified as missing. I tried to send this file to print, but they could not print it because of the missing fonts. If anyone could help me out, you would be doing me a huge favor. Thanks everyone and have a great day.

I understand how to get the fonts to work and I just received the Helvetica font's from him and got those working but the Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk aren't working. They can in a file with a strange icon (a grey box with green letters that spelled out "exec").
This is the one:
It's Mac OS X very unhelpful 'unrecognized file type' default icon, and it might be anything, from an unrecognized file format (unlikely because OS X should recognize most font files) up to a damaged download.

When I "find first" to see where the missing font is located, its on the first and second pages and it is the background graphics, which I think an outside party designed. If I can't get the Berthold fonts to work, what should I do next?
That's a problem on a different level. Is this in a placed EPS or PDF, or (sigh) even a placed InDesign page? Then it was up to the original designer to embed the fonts used into the image -- or, failing that, convert to outlines (which ought not to be necessary in a moderately modern workflow). About the only way to get it to work is to actually install these fonts on your system as well and hope it's the exact same version.

Page numbers wrong in PDF - original Quark file ok!

We do magazines mainly and have a Homes and Interiors publication which I have produced for over 7 years. The workflow has changed over the years and is now a PDF one as you'd expect. We output from Quark 7.31 to a postscript file then distill using our custom job option file as provided by the printers we use. Then the files are uploaded to the Agfa Delano system for them to process.
I just had a call from them to say some of the page numbers were wrong so they removed them. The page numbers are inserted using the auto numbering in QuarkXpress and the original file is correct.
The odd thing here is it's not that pages are mixed up - it's just the page numbers that are wrong - the content of each page is correct!! The only change we have done recently is go to Acrobat 9 which obviously uses the new Distiller too - but I am still using my Acrobat 7 printer option when I go to the Print dialogue within Quark. The magazine is 128 pages if that has any bearing and the pages with wrong numbers on them are in sequence (92-111).
Has anyone seen this kind of thing before or are there any known issues with Distiller 9 that could cause this?

Why don't you export the pdf from Quark using the latest pdf printer available?

Missing Font - I've Tried Everything!

PC - Windows XP Pro
InDesign CS3
I've been working on some programs and ran into trouble today with some fonts showing up missing. I've read the Help files and message board but whatever information I'm finding, it's not working.
In this case I'm using Vivaldi Italic (TrueType) and Centaur (TrueType). I've tried copying these fonts, actually all my fonts, from the Windows font folder directly into InDesign folder. No change.
I then copied just the Vivaldi font into C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts and still nothing.
What is the trick to this?
Also,the printing firm uses Macs and said that even if I sent them the font they would not be able to install it on the Mac. Is that true?
I need your help!
Thanks.

The fonts you mention are TrueType fonts that come either with Windows or Office. I seem to have no problems seeing these fonts from within Adobe applications. You shouldn't have to copy them anywhere.
Do you have any third party font managers running on your system? If so, maybe the problem lies there.
You should also try deleting all the Adobe font cache files from your system, any file of the form
AdobeFnt##.lst where
## is a two digit number. Corrected versions of these file are automatically regenerated if missing when an application starts up.
Windows OpenType and TrueType fonts install on Mac systems (unless it is an ancient MacOS 9 or earlier system) without any problem. Your printer is terribly misinformed. HOWEVER, you cannot simply send a copy of your fonts to your printer unless your printer is licensed to use them. The fonts you mention are sourced by Microsoft from Monotype. Although Microsoft distributes them with Windows or Office (can't tell), neither Apple nor Microsoft installs them on the Macintosh. Thus your printer would need to explicitly go and license those fonts from Monotype.
A much better solution would be to export PDF from InDesign with all fonts embedded and have your printer print from the PDF file! Then you would not need to send any fonts to the printer.

Missing Fonts after using Migration Assistant

I used the Migration Assistant to Migrate from one Mac to Another and now Indesign has missing fonts. I re-installed Indesign and it's still not working.
I am getting the following error - Missing Fonts The Doument "document.file" are not currently available on your system. The text will use a substitute font until the original font becomes available.
One of the font missing is ITC New Baskerville T1. But it's not only T1 fonts that are missing. I check with Font Book to make sure that this font is in there and it is. I cleared the font cache and checked adobe's documentation but I can't seem to figure this one out.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=327791
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=328542
Please help !

Most Adobe products seem to install fonts in 'non-standard' places. So it is annoying but not a surprise that Migration Assistant didn't find them. It is odd that reinstalling InDesign didn't fix it. Try restarting while holding down the Shift key, that will boot you into Safe Mode which, among other things, flushes the font caches. Maybe it is just confused!

Missing fonts warning when adding pages to a book

I have a book with 13 documents added and 105 total pages. I have 10 master pages set up, and each time I add (or delete) pages to a document, I get warning: "The document <doc>.indd needs to be updated but has missing fonts. It may recompose with a default substitute font and result in inacurate page numbers. Do you want to continue updating numbering?" If I click OK to continue updating the numbering, sometimes an extra page gets added somewhere else in the document. Preflight Book is not showing any errors and I also tried looking at the preflight panel in each of the 13 documents. Neither says anything about a missing font. How else can I find it? Thanks!

It could be in overset text (though preflight should see that) or in a style not currently in use. Are you sure the priflight profile is looking for missing fonts, bucasue is really does sound like there is substitution ocurring. Also, have you looked in Type > Find Font.
If none of that is fruitful, I'd try exporting each of the documents to .inx or .idml, then opening those and saving as new .indd docs. Add the new docs to a new book and see if you still get errors.
