Special characters don't print from PDF

I have a PDF file that looks correct when it is viewed but when it is printed from Adobe reader, the following characters do not print:  ÇÃçãõé
Has anyone experienced this issue?  Does anyone know how to resolve it?
I am using Adobe Reader version 10.0.0.
Thanks.

I do not know what causes your issue, or how to fix it.
But if I experienced the same problem I would try to
install the latest Reader version 10.1.3
install the extended font pack for Reader 10
check if there is any newer device driver for my printer available
Not sure if this will help in any way, but it's worth a try.

  • Some Adobe PDF documents don't print from Adobe Reader; with other software it works correctly

    Dear community,
    I'm facing the problem that some Adobe PDF documents with lots of colors and lines (size less than 3 MB) don't print on our printers from Adobe Reader XI.
    The same files when opened with PDF XChange or PDF Architect are printed out without problems.
    How can I provide an Adobe Reader that is able to do so? Any recommendations about solving the issue are very appreciated.
    Best regards
    Christian

    Word document problem fixed at the moment by deleting and adding the Lexmark printer again.

  • Converting PageMaker doc to pdf: special characters don't convert

    I am using PageMaker 7 on Windows XP. I converted a PageMaker document to pdf (I use Acrobat 8 Professional), which worked fine except for two special characters that didn't convert:  ć and ş, which convert as ae and a degree sign. It took me a while to do insert the characters--the font I was using didn't have the characters (these two and ï). So I used Calibri for the ï and Arial for the ć and ş (they didn't seem to work with Calibri). I checked to see if the fonts were embedded, and the weird thing is that Calibri was not but converted fine, and Arial was (at least, ArialMT was) and the ć and ş didn't convert.
    Help!

    You may want to ask in the Acrobat forum since Reader is simply viewing the results.
    But I would suspect that you are having font embedding issues. Check to see that all fonts are embedded in the document. File>Properties>Fonts.

  • Prints garbage when printing from PDF

    When I print from a PDF occasionally my 8500a Premium prints text in code. The format appears to be correct but the text prints in code. When I send the same PDF to another printer it prints fine. Please help.

    If you can't select composite CMYK it means your printer isn't postscript, or you aren't using the postscript driver option if one is available.
    Since this is a printer-related function, not a property of the file itself, you don't want to do anything to your pdf to compensate. That's the printer's job, if necessary, when he processes your PDF.

  • Special Characters in the RTF or PDF Template

    I need some help from you, regarding the special characters display in the RTF or PDF template of XML publisher.
    The instrument name, I retrieve has a special character in it
    Synchron® LX20 PRO Clinical System
    But, when it gets displayed on the RTF template, it shows up as
    Synchron® LX20 PRO Clinical System
    Appreciate any help from your side to resolve this issue.
    Environment:
    XML publisher 5.6.2
    MS word 2003
    Ebusiness Suite := 11.5.10. CU2

    One of the workarounds, we have is by using the replace
    <?xdofx:replace(CFD_INSTR_SYSTEM,'Â','')?>
    But my concern is, if we have any cleaner solution then this. Since in my case, I need to use this replace function with most of the XML element tags; with an anticipation that it may come up with a special character. ( Though this is a very corner scenario).
    And moreover in this present case, the special character is ® ; not sure if the display will be  for all special characters.
    If there is a better solution, let us know.

  • Can't print from PDF files to desktop printer (CS3)

    I installed CS3 about 8 months ago and recently have been having issues printing PDF files to a desktop printer from Acrobat and Reader. All other documents are able to print to this printer (including other CS3 software).
    I get an error that says:
    "Unable to start print job. Is printer available?"
    If I open the same PDF in illustrator or Photoshop it will print, but obviously this is not ideal for multiple page pdfs. The same error happens from PDFs created by me as well as others.
    My first thought was to reinstall Acrobat, but seems this isn't possible without reinstalling the whole suite...
    Any ideas?

    Hi rooster56,
    See thi post: http://forums.linksysbycisco.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Network_Magic&thread.id=18
    Also note, when you plugged the Printer into the Router, you need to install the entire Printer Software package into each operating system that you want to print from. It can't print unless the software for the printer is installed.

  • Some characters missing when printing a PDF on Canon MP560

    Hi,
    I was not sure where to post this. I have a 15" MB Pro and a Canon MP560. I just went to print a PDF invoice and the printed invoice was missing a few letters/characters in random places. They are not missing when viewing the invoice on my Mac but they are if I click print preview.
    Odd... Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Special characters not available in interactive pdf

    Hello, when typing in one of the textfields in my interactive pdf I noticed I can't use special characters like é, à, ê, ...Instead I get Ø
    I can't choose the font so am I stuck with this characterset?
    We need the forms in combination with the forms on our new website. When filled in on the website this interactive pdf gets created automatically so we can work with the data so it's quite important people can fill in their data correctly.

    What version of InDesign are you using?
    Might help an upgrade as a similar error was in CS6 in German where we got different letters than ÄÖÜäöüß.

  • German special characters are not returned from catalog

    When the german special characters are part of the descrition of the article from the the catalog (external). ( reaching catalog from PM order components screen)
    It returns '#' in place german special characters ö ('Umlet') . This is because of the initial charset from the HTML page. How do we get the correct charset of the loaded HTML page.
    But when we execute the same through WTS the german characters are correctly returned but charset is incorrect. Can someone help me to resolve this?

    Hi ,
    Can you pls check the customization OCI interface Convert of HTML fields to SAP Fields where in you maintained the text, which is inturn mapped to conversion module in the customization for example IOCI_DESCRIPTION_W.

  • Random italic print from pdf

    Hi, I'm working on our new catalog. When I export the file to PDF it looks fine - but printing will result in some of the text randomly becoming italic, often in the middle of a sentence. The font is Josephine Sans on Windows Indesign.
    Printing from Indesign directly works fine, editing the font to another font and back within the Acrobat will also fix the problem but is impracticable. I've also exported the file to IDLM and reopened it without improvement.
    I'd appreciate any help since I'm new to Indesign, thank you.

    I very much appreciate the offer, Bill. Originally, I intentionally avoided a description of the first problem, since it was beyond the scope of the forum and I wanted to respect that. But since you asked, the subtle problem is this...
    My team and I enable the aforementioned large PDFs for shared review. In some cases, the shared reviews suffer from crippling performance problems. "Crippling" = between 45 minutes to 2 hours to open, between 10 and 20 minutes to post one comment. (Our team hosts thousands of other shared reviews, all of which perform properly, responding within seconds.) After many weeks of diagnosis, I've narrowed down the issue to 2 factors in these PDFs:
    The "Audit Space Usage" function reports that there are "comments and 3D content" in the source PDFs -- even though "Show Comments List" shows nothing, and there is no 3D content embedded.
    The Preflight function reports that the PDFs contain JavaScripts.
    If I re-print the PDF back to PDF, using the Adobe PDF printer driver, the "Audit Space Usage" no longer reports any comments and 3D content, and the Preflight function no longer reports any JavaScripts. When the resulting PDF is enabled for shared review, it performs properly and speedily.
    I therefore feel safe in my assumption that it's the presence of the above 2 items that causes the subtle problem. However, the only approach that gets me there is the "Print to PDF" function. As I reported originally, any other combination -- PDF Optimizer, Preflight, Save As, Reduce File Size -- preserves one or both of the issues I mentioned previously. In addition, any action that removes "Comments and 3D content" also removes link functionality.
    Version and OS is as indicated in my original post -- Acrobat 9.5 Professional for Windows. (Our team has a mix of Windows XP and 7.) I've also since reproduced the problem in a trial version of Acrobat XI Professional on Windows 7.

    Hi Shellshokd,
    Try using the HP Universal Printer Driver which supports a wide set of printers. 
    The driver is available at this location.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/solutions/business-solutions/printingsolutions/upd.html
    Also, just to let you know ePrint also supports some other formats apart from PDF. You can mail doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, txt, html, jpeg, jpg, png, bmp, gif and tiff files directly to your printers email ID. 
    I hope this helps.

    Oliver

  • Special characters don't work

    I'm using Pages 3.0.2 on Leopard. I am trying to insert the 'section' symbol ('s' and inverted 's'). When I go to Edit -> Special characters, I click on it and nothing happens. My curser is at the insertion point, but nothing happens when I click on it. How do I access the Special Characters?

    Question asked and responded several times.
    Special Characters rely on the availability of the Character Palette.
    If you didn't install it, the menu will do nothing.
    Open the System's Preference Pane entitled "International"
    click the tab "Input Menu"
    then check the box entitled "Character Palette"
    and check the box entitled: "Show input menu in menu bar"
    After that, selecting "Special Characters" will open the Character Palette.
    Of course, as it is not a program feature but a system feature, it is described in the System's help searching with "special characters".
    The page is entitled: "Typing _special characters_ and symbols"

  • HP LaserJet 4MV no longer prints from PDF on MacBook Air

    Yes, I still use my Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4MV and with my MacBook Air with which I have been printing from Preview, Safari screen, email, AND from PDF's since I downloaded a patch from online 1-1/2 years ago.  Inexplicably the HP LaserJet 4MV no longer prints from any Adobe PDF in any program.  I can print any other document except PDF still.  I can print PDF's on my other printers including a Brother.  I have uninstalled and redownloaded Adobe Reader.  It is a mystery.
    Any suggestions?  Did I accidentally download some update (I try to never download Adobe updates) possibly that 'cancelled out' my ability to print on my HP Laserjet 4 MV?   Any ideas would help. Thank you so much.

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

  • Characters missing when printing a PDF

    Hi all,
    When printing a PDF file (word document converted and digitally signed with Adobe Pro XI) some characters are not printed, they are as blank spaces. The workaround is to print the file as image, with a significant decrease of printing quality. Is there any setting or option to change to avoid this?

    If as in the past, this is an issue with an HP print driver. Printing as image is generally the solution, but a lot slower I think.
