Some fonts do not convert to PDF

I'm using Pagemaker 7.0.1a on WinXP. Some fonts such as Sanvito (open type) and Myriad Pro (true type) appear fine in PM but do not convert to PDF where they appear as X placeholders as shown below. Top group is Sanvito, bottom is Myriad, Times worked OK. On the other hand, they convert just fine when converting MS Word to a PDF. My system uses Acrobat Distiller 7. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

Because PageMaker has been a dead program for nearly a decade and is known not to work reliably on the newest OSs, including XP, while Word is still being developed. If I were you, Iwould move on to InDesign while the generous discount upgrade from PageMaker is still available. I wouldn't be surprised if the offer expires when CS5 comes out.

  • Some font changes not displaying in PDF output

    Hello,
    I have Developer 2000 R 2.1 on my workstation and I produced a report from an Oracle table in PDF format. It displays different font weights, styles and colors (black or red) depending on values in a particular column. We have Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 and Reports30.
    The PDF report is perfect when it is displayed through the 'Live Previewer' or displayed using 'PDF' under 'Web Preview'. After I send my 'REPORT.rtf' to the server and compile using 'conv.sh', I get a 'REPORT.rep'. When I try to display the PDF report from a web page, using 'REPORT.rep', the some font changes are missing. No italics, no bold in some instances. It does show 'red', but not in all the correct places.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you very much for any assistance.

    Hi,
    the PO Output for Communication does not use the $OA_MEDIA variable so you have to provide the full path to your images, example url:{translate(concat('/d01/oracle/prodcomn/java/oracle/apps/media/',BILL_TO_LOGO),' ','')}
    Hope this helps as it works for us.

  • Some fonts are not working

    I need to use Times or Times New Roman font, and the apostrophe/quotation mark key just turns out a weird combination of letters instead. The key works in some fonts but not others. How can I fix this?

    Hi Bethanning,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You may want to look at Using and Managing Fonts in Mac OS X PDF. It says,
    "Mac OS X is not limited to Roman alphabets
    because it takes advantage of Unicode.Applications
    that support Unicode can select characters from a
    set of up to 65,636 different symbols.This is almost
    one glyph for every possible character in every
    written language.Most fonts don’t need so many
    symbols,but many non-Roman fonts used in Asia
    and the Middle East can have many thousands of
    different glyphs.
    To make it easy for users to select keyboard
    layouts that correspond to different fonts,Mac OS X
    provides an Input menu.This shows different
    keyboard layouts so you can use the same keyboard
    to select different glyphs.You can turn different
    keyboard layouts,including the new Character
    Palette,on and off through the Input Menu tab in
    the International pane in System Preferences."
    Not every font has the same symbols in the same places (sometimes symbols my not be included.

  • What to do when file will not convert a PDF to Word "properly"?

    Is there anything I can do when a file will not convert from PDF to Word (for editing purposes)?
    It converted some of it fine, but most of it is converted into symbols and letters of some text has been changed.

    Hi Michelle ,
    You can simply edit that file in Acrobat itself .
    Or if you could brief us little more about your requirements ,we would be able to assist you intelligently .

  • Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
    Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Kristen.

    you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 will not convert a pdf to a jpeg

    Adobe Acrobat 8 will not convert a pdf to a jpeg. It just gives an error message and shuts down every time I to save it as jpeg. Any advice why this conversion will not work?  I use a PC and run Windows 7.

    The Acrobat 8 product family passed into End of Support years ago.
    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with today's OSs.

  • I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

    I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

    Hi m_karhulinna,
    If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
    (It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
    Best,

  • Urgent: Custom font style not appearing in PDF output only

    Hi,
    For a customer, I received customer specific font styles(ttf font files) which I installed on my machine and then copied those files in Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts as well as in JRE/lib/fonts. Then I created a template in word and font there appears as custom font.
    Now I am getting that font style in all output formats(rtf,ppt,excel) except the PDF output. I am using Oracle BI Publisher desktop alone. Not sure what I missed because of which text font is not changing in PDF version only. I checked the PDF properties and there also custom font is not getting mapped.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is the link that describes how to set up the font mapping for PDF output: Look for "Font Mappings (for PDF output)"

  • Some fonts do not appear in InDesign

    Some fonts do not appear in InDesign although they can be used in Word, Pagemaker and show in Adobe Typemanager.

    Can you name one?
    These are the most common causes of people complaining "My fonts don't appear":
    (a) Smart name sorting. "New Century Schoolbook" sorts under "C", not "N". "Adobe Garamond" sorts under "G". (I call this 'smart' sorting because apparently it isn't the same as, ehm, dumb sorting. However, I've never read a good description of its sort parameters.)
    (b) Word and PageMaker (but not ATM) allow the use of fake fonts: bold, italics and bold+italics are produced by horribly deforming your base font. If you want a bold font in InDesign, use the designed one. If there isn't one designed ... the designer probably had good reasons not to make one. (It's still possible to create faux-bold and faux-italics in InDesign but the program leaves that decision to you).
    (c) Smart Script sorting. InDesign groups its fonts per supported script. Latin fonts are at the top (a slightly self-centric choice), then come groups of fonts for Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, etc. etc. A font like Gisha contains Hebrew characters and thus appears in the Hebrew group.
    (d) More than one font file with the same font name (internally). ID gets mightily confuzed if it encounters a file "times.ttf", font name "Times Roman", in one folder, and "tr_____.pfb", font name "Times Roman", in another folder. You can't really blaim it, though.

  • Installed Mavericks and latest iWorks and some fonts will not work. Strangely these fonts work in Notes and old version of Strickies. Any ideas?

    Installed Mavericks and latest updates for iWorks. Some fonts will not work on Pages or Keynote. Any ideas?

    It appears overkilling to install Bootcamp and a complete Windows environment just for running a single, old-fashioned piece of software...
    Old 32-bits Windows programs usually run fine with WINE, of which I warmly recommend the "PlayonMac" version (free).
    http://www.playonmac.com
    Just try with Playonmac...
    If it does not work, try the other free WINE port for Mac, Winebottler:
    http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
    If even this does not work, there is a not-free WINE port named Crossover:
    http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-mac/
    It has a free trial mode, so you can test if it works with your scanner program before purchasing it...

  • My Trade Gothic LT STD font doesn't convert to PDF. Other fonts convert but not this one.

    This is issue came up when i upgraded to quickbooks 2012 from 2009. I always converted invoices to PDF without problem. But now my data fields using a font that i purhcased won't appear in PDF format. i can change the font of the data fields to Times New Roman and it will appear, but not with Trade Gothic LT STD. The font apperas in the font properties of the PDF file and it says it is embedded subset. This font works in all other windows and microsoft programs and even appears in the print preview. But it dissappears once i convert to PDF.

    understand that this may not be the right forum. I've tried many other avenues seeking an answer so i figured i should try this one. I'm using Quickbooks to create invoices. The font shows up in Quickbooks in the print preview but once converted to PDF, the font dissapears. This problem began when i upgraded from 2009 to the 2012 version. The old version used Quickbooks PDF converter for the conversion; the new version uses Microsoft XPS document writer for the conversion (as i understand). I can change the font in quickbooks to TIMES NEW ROMAN, and it will appear. So i think its something with the converter or the font itself. Already tried quickbooks PDF utility, removing/reinstalling XPS writer, some other Intuit suggestions but nothing. I attemted to delete the font and reinstall but it wouldn't let me delete. Desperate for a resolution.

  • PDF problem. Some fonts do not display.

    Since moving CS4 to a new Mavericks installation I have two problems -
    1.     On clicking 'print', the application quits with no warning or message.
    2.     On exporting to PDF some fonts display only a bounding box for each character. Some fonts display OK.
    Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?

    Thanks Peter, not sure about the fonts. They come up OK on mu InDesign document but not on the PDF. I will check that out.
    As for the migration, I already did a fresh install on the new system.
    Cheers.

  • Acrobat 8.1 Pro .mht And Some .html files Do Not Convert To PDF

    Acrobat 8.1 Pro with Windows Vista. .mht files are saved complete webpage single files similar to complete html files except they're as a single file instead of a file and a folder. When using Create From File, Acrobat does not recognize .mht files and will not convert them to PDF. Some complete .html files will not convert using Create from File, even though Acrobat does recognize them.
    Also, when I'm logged into a website and want to convert a webpage to PDF using Create From Web, often the resulting PDF document is of the login page and not the page I selected with the error message "can't locate file". These difficult webpages can be converted to PDF using the Print Adobe PDF function, but hyperlinks are not preserved with this function.
    I would like to be able to convert all files (including .mht) and webpages to PDF while preserving hyperlinks. Can anyone help me with this?

    Bruce,
    mht files are not standard html files. Acrobat will not handle those. If
    you are on a website that most be logged into, then Acrobat cannot get
    to those files since it is not logged in. You can print to pdf, since
    your browser is logged in.
