PDFs screwed up fonts in illustrator CC but fine in photoshop CC?

I have some PDFs generated from Win 7 x64, printed to PDF from Firefox. I need to edit some text. If i open in PS they render fine. but can't be edited. Text at least. if opened in ILL I get a warning the fonts will be substituted. But all i get is garbage. The "missing" fonts are not regular real fonts, they have nonsense numbers/letters.
Why can PS display a PDF fine but ILL can't? Any workarounds?
Having to mask out and lay type over in PS is a real pain.
Thanks
Maxi

Why can PS render page, but ILL can't?
And the native .ai file is almost identical to a .PDF.
The first sentence only stated where the files have been generated, but not which system you use.
Photoshop uses the embedded font when reading the file. Illustrator can do that as well - you need to place the PDF. But then you can't edit the text.
The native AI file is not identical to a PDF. The native AI file might contain a PDF. It's actually 2 files in one.

Page on pdf shows just a white page. But fine on other readers (ie iBooks)

The page is made up of one gradient in the background, text and a couple of vector files.
I can tell that the text is there, as I can hightlight the areas where the text should be (in editing tools)!

It could be an issue with the iOS Reader or the pdf file. What version of Reader for the iOS are you using? Can you look at the pdf on a Windows or Mac machine and look at the document properties and see what application created the pdf? Can you post a link for us to look at the pdf file?

JPG and TIFF colors in Bridge CS5 way off, but fine in Photoshop

Just started happening, but not sure if it was after updating to Bridge 4.0.3 or Camera RAW 6.2. The colors for RAW and PSD files are fine in Bridge, but all JPGs and TIFFs colors are blown out and way off. Opening the JPG or TIFF in Photoshop looks fine though. Anyone else having this issue, or know how to fix it?
Update: If I set the "Develop Settings" in Bridge CS5 to "Camera Raw Defaults" for the JPGs/TIFFs that are displaying improperly, the colors and tones go back to normal, but if I "Clear Settings" everything turns to crap again.

PLEASE help save my sanity and my reputation! --I have spent the last five days exhausting every possible solution to this debilitating issue. I have spent countless hours perusing the web for a solution, spent 4 hours yesterday with Adobe customer support and yet, there is no solution to be found. My issue is that the color (in every file format NEF, JPEG, PSD) completely changes color and desaturates in every one of the adobe products: Photoshop CS5, Camera RAW 6.2, Lightroom 3.2. -
Everything was working fine, and then out of no where my productivity has come to a crashing halt. This is the steps I have taken to this point:
-Uninstalling/re-installing all of the software
-Purging anything that can be purged.
-Changing color profiles
-Resetting defaults
-Resetting preferences
-Installing updated drivers for monitor, video cards
-rollling back drivers for monitor, video cards
-monitor recalibration
**and finally, today...I set the monitor up on another computer, OS windows xp, and to my complete surprise, the issue persists even on another pc with completely different hardware.
-I am at my wits end with this. I have clients ringing my phone off the hook. This is crazy!
-I have sent out for another monitor as a last ditch effort to see if something is wrong with the monitor.
PLEASE, if anyone has a solution please let me know. Apparently, the folks at Adobe are just as perplexed by these issues as we are, as I have found numerous posts on forums throughout the Internet with this same issue---and yet none of the post every found a solution.

CONVERT_OTF Convert TO PDF the Chinese font bold is lost

Dear All,
     When I use CONVERT_OTF Convert TO PDF the Chinese font bold is lost, but use Print to PDF method, the Font Bold can be showed normal.
Also used these reports RSTXPDFT4, RSTXPDF2UC, it does not work.
How can I solve this issue?
Many Thanks

Hi,Aidan,
    Thanks,
     Sorry,the option CJK_USE_BOLD_IT does not exist in report RSTXPDF3 when I run this report.
     I found only CJK_SMALL_FONT such as u2018CJK*u2019 in my system.
     Is there a way to add CJK_USE_BOLD_IT?
    When I check RSTXPDF3,I found all the options are hard copy in RSTXPDF3 list by Constants.

Why a pdf document with embedded fonts can be copied but is not searchable in pdf reader

I am writing a pdf files with embedded subset fonts. As required, I am including the ToUnicode and CIDSet objects. To test, I created a simple PDF with two Hebrew characters. I can select the two characters and copy to the clipboard, and paste it properly into another application such as Word. But I am not able to search for a word containing these two characters. Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) displays the message that the word was not found. So in essence, I have created a PDF document which can be copied properly, but is not searchable. Any idea what I might be missing when creating the document?
Additional information: 1. The file in question is a minimal file with just two characters. I have tested with many such files in many different languages including English. None of the files are searchable. 2. Curiously, if I search for the letter 'e', Adobe reader highlights an incorrect word, even if the letter 'e' does not exists in the file. 3. Adobe acrobat is also not able to search within this file, however when I save the file to another disk file, the saved file now is searchable. I confirmed that the major objects such as the font-file, ToUnicode object, CID object, and the font description objects are the same in the saved file. However, one of the font object is brought up closer to the top of the file. 4. FoxIt is able to search these files properly.

I figured the app might have that ability - considering you can add text, highlight, add a signature, annotate and draw - so my thought was why not delete a page, or rearrange for that matter?.. That should be an option, this way we don't have to export to one of the other apps to delete or rearrange..
Thanks for the help, Bernd.
BTW if anyone is looking - PDF Max can do all of the above and delete and rearrange. With PDF Splicer you can delete and rearrange as well, but it has no other features.
And as for Steve Werner whose comment was deleted after it got to my inbox, it is much more than a Reader, as you can plainly see from the amount of tasks the Reader app can do above.

Thanks in advance.

I would really appreciate it if anyone is willing to down-save the version of these files to Illustrator CS4 and send it to me.

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.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.

Problem with embedding fonts in Illustrator CS5

I have just installed Illustrator CS5, and have tested creating a PDF document based on one of my existing files, as well as a new file.
When I open these PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I am told that Acrobat cannot access one of the embedded fonts (Korinna BT).
I have had no issues with embedding this font in Illustrator CS4, and (strangely), when I open these files in other PDF viewers (Preview and PDFPenPro), they report no issues.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I have removed and reinstalled the font in question, and tested/verified that the font is OK - but still not joy.
Regards
Jeremy

The error message I get is:
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'MVZTIW+KorinnaITCbyBT-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
When I check the fonts in the PDF in "Document Properties" in Adobe Acrobat the following is shown:
"KorinnaITCbyBT-Regular
     Type: TrueType
     Encoding: Ansi
     Actual Font: Adobe Serif MM
     Actual Font Type: Type 1"
It seems that Illustrator is adding some strange "code" ('MVZTIW') to the beginning of the font, which means the actual font can't be found and extracted.

PDF to PS: fonts missing with Reader8, ok with Reader5

Hello,
I would appreciate help on this issue with Adobe Reader8 with some files.
I am using Adobe Reader on Solaris (sparc) and I use
/path/to/acroread -toPostScript -pairs file.pdf file.ps
to create PostScript files. This works fine for most files, including most files with Asian fonts.
However, for some PDFs with Asian fonts, the PS generated by Reader8 is missing some Asian fonts,
so the output is garbled, although PS generated by Reader5 is just fine.
If I open the PDF in Reader8 GUI then it appears fine.
Here is the PDF as well as output produced by both Reader5 and Reader8:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4twQW4MeUMIdW9zNE15bmdZZlU&usp=sharing
What am I doing wrong and what should I do make the fonts appear in the PS from Reader8?
Thanks for your help.

Well, Kurt Lang did solve my problem and I won't ever be enough thankful to him. He tried one of my font and took the time to examine it with FontLab Studio. In case other persons experiment the same type of troubles, I am pasting the mail I got (along with the corrected font) for info :
Hi Patrick,
I did find one issue in particular. OpenType fonts should have a UTM setting of 1000. These were at 2048. So I changed those and had FontLab Studio rebuild the names (I just let it do its thing).
The originals you had sent wouldn’t even appear in Office 2011. The rebuilt ones do, though for whatever reason, bold italic won’t show. However, you can click the italic and bold buttons and the correct font is used. Otherwise, the new fonts all work as expected in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, TextEdit and others. I tested them in both Mavericks and Yosemite.
Can’t guarantee success, but give these a shot.
Kurt
That guy is an angel. He spent a tremendous amount of time examining, testing on Mavericks and Yosemite and on several apps until resolving the problem. Too helpful, too nice and too competent. That's a treat.

Pdf to eps issue on Illustrator

I'm creating a pdf with Apache FOP in Linux then I need to convert the pdf it into an eps.
I'm trying lot of ways, the only one that seems works is the pdftops. But, when I convert it into Linux in command line
pdftops file.pdf -eps file.eps
This command creates me the eps but when I try to open it in Adobe Illustrator in Windows XP It returns me the error
EAAFD+HelveticaNeueLTStd-MdCnO_99-Identify-H;
Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted.
1: the fonts han not been substituted2: the eps do not show words inside it is all blank instead of the images
I'm sure that in Windows XP I have all the fonts becouse if I convert the pdf to an eps inside the Adobe Illustrator all works fine and Adobe Illustrator do not show me the fonts issue.
I need to convert the eps via command line in Linux.
And then send it to someone that will open it in Adobe Illustrator.
(I need to do this for lot of reason that I do not want to list here.)
Can you help me?
What I'm doing wrong?

Using fonts from illustrator in a logo

Are you free to use fonts from illustrator/photoshop in business logo's?

On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated ...
This (that “you can copy and send the fonts for a reproduction house for the sole purpose of reproducing that particular piece or job”) is absolutely not true! In fact it is not true for any of Adobe's fonts!
What is true is that your ability to send, share, or even embed fonts is dependent upon the EULA (End User License Agreement) for each and every font you use in your content. And, by the way, any restrictions in the EULA legally override any embedding permissions that might be set in the font itself for TrueType and OpenType fonts!
Other than for fonts that are explicitly labeled as public domain or freeware, it is exceptionally uncommon for any font foundry – and that includes Adobe and Monotype (Monotype now includes Linotype, ITC, and Bitstream) – to permit licensees to simply package and send fonts along with the base document (Illustrator .AI, InDesign .INDD, etc.) and other digital assets to a print service provider with one exception. That exception – and that exception is not universal but does apply to fonts licensed from Adobe – is that such fonts may be sent to a print service provider as long as the print service provider is also licensed for those fonts. Well, what good is that you may ask? The reason for this is that there are subtle differences between versions of fonts released over time including improvements and corrections. Adobe does allow users to make local modifications of fonts as well while maintaining actually ownership of the fonts. To deal with both these cases, Adobe does allow fonts to be sent with original source files to print service providers if and only if the print service provider also has a license for such fonts. The need for such a license is exactly why Adobe markets its Font Folio product to print service providers; it fulfills the licensing requirement for their customers sending original documents with fonts to them either for reproduction and/or editing.
One of the reasons why Adobe has been so much behind PDF workflows is that for many fonts (including all those licensed from Adobe), you may embed the fonts in the PDF files you create from you content, send the resultant PDF file to your print service provider for reproduction or to a publication for embedding in their content (such as for advertisements) and neither you nor the recipient needs to pay any further licensing fee.
However, you should note one further restriction. Some font foundries (including all the font brands of Monotype) allow for fonts to be embedded in PDF files, but except for private distribution of such PDF files (including to print service providers and publishers), requirement additional royalty payments for distribution of PDF files in which their fonts are embedded! Note that Adobe has no such restrictions on any fonts the fonts it licenses!
I know that the above information may conflict with both what many in the industry practice and believe is true, but those licenses are indeed legally enforceable. We are in fact aware of font foundries that run webbots looking for PDF files with their fonts embedded for which royalties have not been paid. The fact that many content providers and print service providers have blatantly ignored the font licenses in the past does not provide a tenable legal excuse for ignoring font licenses now.
- Dov
PS: To address the original question in this thread, you may use the fonts provided with any Adobe software in your content such as logos (even if they are created with non-Adobe software while you are licensed for the Adobe software) and you may distribute such artwork to others with the fonts as long as that is distributed in the form of either PDF files or EPS files with the fonts embedded. (Adobe most strongly recommends PDF over EPS for modern, reliable workflows!)

.pdf file not opening in Illustrator CS5

All of a sudden, I cannot get ,pdf files to open in Illustrator CS5. what would cause this?
Thanks

Jeremy,
Or you may go further down the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
