PDF Print - Numeric&bold Calibri font is printed not properly on Windows 7 (on XP - OK)

In MS CRM 4.0 system I generate reports using Reporting Services (10.0.4067.0  - 2008 SP2 + MS12-070). Then I export them to PDF.
Font which is used - Calibri. In PDF file everything is displayed properly. When I print that PDF in Adobe Reader (Windows 7), then bold&numbers are wrong (bigger, smaller captions - looks like diffrent font). When I print the same file on the same printer
using Windows XP, then everything is ok!
I've tried to switch Calibri font in Win7 (taken from XP) - still the same problem. I've installed Foxit Reader on that machine and print is good! Unortunately, it has to be Adobe.
Only one case that is wrong - Win 7, Adobe Reader (X and XI). What can be the reason?

Hi simon17,
As per my understanding, I think this issue is caused by the Adobe Reader. I think you can try the following methods to check the issue again:
Check for Adobe Updates.
Try the Repair Adobe Installation
Run Adobe as Administrator. 
Since this issue is related to Adobe Reader, not related to Reporting Services. If this issue still exists, I suggest you post the question in Adobe Reader forum at:

  • Adobe PDF printer not printing past 180 pages   random garbage characters

    I am in IT and I have a user whose PDF printer will not convert docs to PDF past 180-182 pages. It gives her an error about that place in the doc that says there was nothing selected and that none of it was converted when in reality it converted it all (up to 180-182 pages). On top of this it will place random illegible characters throughout the PDF with no apparent order. We've re-installed Adobe multiple times and updated it.
    I've looked everywhere to find an answer so I'm now here.

    A print to PDF is an entirely different process than using the Save As Adobe PDF. If you use the Save As PDF or XPS, you are using the MS plugin, not the one from Adobe. The results can vary depending on the preferences selected and such. Usually when the print fails it is due to either AcroTray not running or an error from Distiller (and recorded in the log as long as the log is not turned off). If you have a lot of graphics, the print process can run into memory limitations (usually from the TEMP folder issue) due to the initial conversion to PS that can be huge. The graphics are generally not compressed much until they get into the PDF.
    If you are having problems with the print process, the first step is to try a print to file. This process creates a PS file (may have a prn extension). If that file is created, the next step is to open the file in Distiller to create the PDF. If there are errors from Distiller, you will see them at this step. Errors are often related to color settings or fonts that cannot be embedded. Maybe that will give you some things to consider.

  • Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

    I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
    On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
    When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
    Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
    On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

    I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
    Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
    If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
    Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
    Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
    - from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
    - go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
    - go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
    Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
    If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
    Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
    1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
    delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
    2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
    delee the PDF port monitor if present
    3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
    again delete and pdf printer subkey
    If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
    Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
    Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
    Copy and pate the following commands in order
    1: net stop spooler
    2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
    3: net start spooler
    4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
    That should set back the pdf printer.
    This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

  • Adobe PDF Printer not working in Illustrator since 9.3.2 update.

    Greetings all,
    Since updating Acrobat Pro to 9.3.2 I've not been able to print to PDF from Illustrator using the Adobe PDF Printer (Adobe PDF 9.0 in my printer list).
    I've tried several restarts and have also removed the printer and run the Repair Acrobat Installation from the Help menu of Acrobat to reinstall the printer, but problem remains.
    I've also tried printing from other programs (namely Thunderbird, Firefox and Photoshop) and the printer has worked fine so I suspect this my be isolated to Illustrator.
    No error messages are given and the Illustrator print jobs are listed as Completed in the printer job list but no files are created.
    I've got a work-around, printing to Postscript file then converting to PDF in Distiller and it seems to be working fine, but not my ideal solution.
    I've checked for updates in Illustrator but none are available.
    System details:
    OS X 10.5.8 (MacBook Pro 15", around 2.5yrs old)
    Adobe Creative Suite CS 3, Acrobat Pro 9.3.2, Illustrator 13.0.2
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Dave

    I've never liked the Save As PDF option in Illustrator. Though the quality is excellent, in my experience it creates bloated PDFs that are often too big to email.
    Take for example the file that prompted my original post. If I print to PDF (or in this case use my workaround, creating a PS file, then converting to PDF in Distiller) using my Hi Rez preset, the final PDF is 648K. If I Save As PDF using the same preset, the final file is 5.5Mb! A ridiculous size for a CMYK flyer measuring just 134x70mm.
    The reason for the size increase is obvious when the big pdf is opened in Illustrator: all the bits and pieces outside the artboard and on hidden layers are all preserved. In reality, it's just the same as the original Illustrator file seeing as Illustrator's native AI format is pretty much a pdf in all but name only.
    Do you know of a way to use the Save As PDF command that eliminates the unwanted material and gets the file size down? That would really make my day!
    What I wish for is an Export To PDF command as found in InDesign. That seems to give the best of both worlds.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro PC with Windows 7 - error mess "Adobe PDF Printer - not available" Help?

    Just loaded my old Acrobat 7.0 Professional on new PC with Windows 7 - Error message "Adobe PDF Priner not available.  Therefore do not have option of Adobe printer when using Word.
    Any ideas as to what  - if anythjing I can do?

    Hi,
    Technically acrobat 7 not not designed for windows 7 OS. You can try to install the pdf printer manually but it's not guaranteed :
    Click the Windows "Start" menu, select "Control Panel," choose "Hardware and Sound," click the "Add a Printer" link under Devices and Printers.
    Click "Next" and select "Local Printer Attached to This Computer."
    Remove the check from "Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer" and click "Next."
    Select "My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)" in the port selection drop-down menu and click "Next."
    Select the "Have Disk" option and click the "Browse" button to open a dialog box.
    Select the "AdobePDF.inf" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under "Adobe" | "Acrobat 9.0" | "Acrobat" | "Xtras."
    Select the first item on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click "Next."
    Type "Adobe PDF" in the field for a printer name and click "Next."
    Wait for two minutes for the system to process the drivers and click "Finish" to close the Add a Printer wizard.
    Hope this helps.

  • PDF Printer not saving files; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

    I imagine that the root of this issue has to do with compatibility between the OS 64 and and 32 bit application of Acrobat 9.5.5. The installation has been uninstalled, reinstalled, and fully repaired. Initially, while printing from powerpoint (but also any other source, including chrome, firefox, or from acrobat's own interface), the PDF printer would output a generic error about the "current printer setup". After reveiwing the event log, a sidebyside 40 seemed to be causing the problem. I followed the solution posted at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/a4c36078-6419-4424-8a43-ff3832786 b59/many-sidebyside-78-errors-with-acrobat-9-designer, but with no luck. I then went and installed the PDF printer manually using the adobePDF.inf file. This removed the generic error, but now when converting using the PDF Printer, no file is saved and no error dialog appears. Nothing is showing in the event viewer either. Print-to-pdf works, but the user needs specific formatting that occurs while printing. Any ideas what may be occuring?
    Running 9.5.5 Adobe Pro on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit system.

    Let's step back a bit. First, since you have apparently been successful at installing the printer let us see if it works. Open and application and go to the print menu and select Print-to-file for the Adobe PDF printer. Assuming that is successful, open the file that is created (usually a PRN extension, though it is a PS file) in Distiller. Do you get a PDF now, or errors about the creation?
    If the PDF is created, use ctrl-alt-del>task manager to see if Acrotray is running in the background. If not, go to the Acrobat (or Distiller) folder and start it. If you can not start it then Acrotray is the problem that you are having. It might be that it will work if installed in a 32-bit compatibility mode.

  • Adobe PDF Printer not showing -- no fix found yet

    The Adobe PDF printer is no longer showing on a system in the office. It's running Windows 7 Professional x64. The Adobe Acrobat version is Pro X.
    I have tried litereally everything I could find here in the forums and elsewhere, including uninstall, clean-up (using the Adobe tool), reinstall, maually printer install attempts (failed), manual removal of all printer ports relating to Adobe PDF documents etc. Nothing worked.
    Adobe Acrobat itself is working perfectly fine, but the PDF printer is not showing anywhere, or working. I had to install an alternative for now (PDF Creator), but obviously that's not an acceptable solution. The issue started, I believe, after some tax software package was installed that had its own PDF printer. The software has since been removed, and all troubleshooting has taken place after.
    System restore is also no option, since it doesn't go as far back.
    If anyone has any further suggestions, it would be very much appreciated. I am an IT professional, I'm comfortable with registry rediting or similar if that is what it takes, I'd just like to find a fix, and so far I've exhausted everything I could find (including Experts Exchange).

    Try this process.  If you get any errors then screenshot them and post them back to the forum.

  • PDF printer not working in Outlook 2013

    I have the PDF printer add in activated, but when I try to use the PDF printer in Outlook 2013, nothing happens.
    The program turns for a while, but then closes without the PDF file being created.
    Used to work without problem for earlier versions of Outlook.

    You probably need to upgrade. According to the compatibility table (
    https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html)
    Outlook 2013 is compatible with Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or higher only.

  • PDF Printer not working in Adobe XI

    The PDF Printer option is not working in Adobe XI.    We are using Windows 8.    When I open the printer box and select Adobe PDF, I get an error message stating "The server threw an exception."        The "Save as PDF" and "Convert to PDF" options work but those options are not always available.  

    A server exception would suggest you are using Acrobat in the cloud. I don't have an answer in that case other than trying later. Is the Adobe PDF printer indeed installed on your machine or in the cloud?

  • [Acrobat 8.x] PDF Printer not working

    Hi there,
    I just migrated from Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7. After having installed Acrobat (as part of CS3), I quickly came across the following nasty problem. The PDF Printer worked about once. After that, it became defunct. When starting a print job with PDF Printer, the entire application hangs. For some reason, there is considerable hard drive activity after that, but the application that has issued the print command does not recover (I waited for several minutes).
    I have tried the following solution:
    (1) Auto-Update updated my Acrobat version to 8.1.3
    (2) "Repair Acrobat Installation" from Acrobat Help Menu
    (3) Manually reinstalled PDF Printer
    (4) Removed all PDF Ports and recovered via "Repair Acrobat Installation"
    => no effect, the problem remains.
    I would be very greatful for any suggestions. This problem is driving me nuts! The PDF printer is an important component that just has to work.
    Maniac

    Thanks for the input!
    The upgrade to 8.1.6 did solve the problem. Acrobat still works poorly, but at least the PDF Maker works quite fine.
    Nevertheless, it's really too bad that Adobe requires you to purchase a full (and considerably expensive) upgrade for Win7 support. Adobe 8 is not that old so that it would require updating.

    Can anybody help?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the answere.
    I still have the above mentioned problem when trying to print a pdf from a pdf (to reduce size) and when trying to print a pdf out of Indesign ( I dont want to use the export to pdf function because of file size).
    When tryiing to print a pdf from a pdf through adobe acrobat pro the printer menue opens. When I click on printer I can choose the option choose 'save as Adobe PDF' but then the error message appears that saving as a pdf while printing is not supported. That I should choose file - save.  Is that the only way to do it? The file gest bigger instead of smaller, even when I use a low resolution for the pictures. Can't I print  PDFs as PDF somehow through the Distiller.
    When I try to print a PDF with Indesign the Indesign-printing window appears. When I click on the printer and choose 'save as PDF' the Indesign simply jumps back to ints own printer window and ignores my choice. Therefor it does not seem to be possible to print a pdf from Indesign through the PDF printer?!
    Thankful for any comments.

  • Adobe Create PDF printer not working fully!

    Hi all!
    I have a minor problem with Adobe Create PDF printer. I installed and I was able to print couple word docs, but stopped working.
    I dont know why. I am still able to print web pages and others, but cant "print" pdf from word, ooutlook, Autocad, etc.
    It is stopped working correctly after I tried to print from Autocad, also I have had problems with activating my Photoshop sub and Adobe support made same changes to my AAM and Photoshop, may be that is what caused my problem, I don't know, neither does support. Support has no other idea we went thru every detail but still can't use Create PDF correctly.
    Any ideas?
    I have already installed this hotfix:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/createpdf-desktop-printer-windows-7.html

  • PDF Printer not in Printer Menue

    The XI that came with my new dell E6540 , when I am in a program and chouse the print menue I do not have a PDF printer in the menu , is this just a tril ver. or is there
    somthing I should do to get the drivers for it

    The PDF printer is a component of Acrobat Professional, which, unless I'm sorely mistaken, DOES NOT come pre-installed on an OEM PC.

  • PDFs print out darker in Windows Reader 9.0 than Mac Reader 9.0, also Win Reader 9.0 darker than 8.x

    Hi,
    Using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 for Mac OS X and 8.* for Windows, my PDFs printed out identically for both platforms.
    However, after I upgraded Windows Adobe Reader from 8 to 9.0.0, it prints out the PDFs significantly darker than before, whereas when I upgraded the OS X Adobe Reader from 8.1.2 to 9.0.0, the print outs did not get any darker.
    Now they are both on v9.0.0, Windows printouts are significantly darker than the OS X printouts, using the same PDF file, printer, etc.
    Any idea what's going on here? Is there some of weird gamma correction-type thing going on - although I thought that only affected monitor displays, not print outs? Or should I report it as a bug?
    The PDF I am testing is here:
    http://egalo.com/guitar-fretboard-visualisation-sheet.pdf
    I also tried printing it out from other PDF viewers - Preview.app on OS X and Foxit Reader on Windows - and they both print out normally i.e. the same as Adobe Reader 8.* for all platforms, and 9.0 for OS X - definitely not as dark as Adobe Reader 9.0.0 for Windows.
    I'm running OS X 10.5.4 and Windows XP Professional as a VM using Parallels.
    Needless to say, I want to be able to generate PDFs that have the same darkness regardless which PDF viewer or OS platform is being used to print it out.
    Thanks, Xen
    [Edited to improve clarity]

    Thanks Michael,
    The file that I have sent her has both vector and raster graphics in it, and they were apparently printing fine. It just seems to be text that's not printing correctly.
