Text disappears when printing

- I'm using Acrobat Version 9 from CS 4 and am making PDF's from InDesign.
- When I print, certain text that is on the page when I view the computer monitor does not printout.
- Sometimes large bodies of text will be omitted and sometimes it will drop one letter from a sentence but print the rest.
- The same problem happens while printing from our Mac computers and from our clients PC computers.
- I've already checked the button "download PPD Fonts" and tried to print and also tried to "print as image" but neither helped.
I would appreciate any thoughts on how correct this problem?

Hi,
We found that our problem occurred for two reasons.
1. We found blank text boxes over some of the existing text. Simply
remove them.
2. Also:
- In the print menu
- Go to the graphics
- Under fonts select complete
- then check download ppd fonts
Those two things solved our problems.
Good luck,
Steve

Text/image boxes disappearing when printed to PDF [CS2, Win]

Strange things are happening today: Text boxes and image boxes, perfectly visible in InDesign -- are completely disappearing when printed to PDF.
The first time I printed, everything came out fine. Then after I moved some stuff around and reprinted, things disappeared.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Yes, that worked. Thanks!
Any idea why this happened?

As a student, you might be able to get Office for Mac from the college bookstore at a substantial discount. Otherwise, I think your best option for documents that need to be shared with Office users is to get one of the free Office clones such as LibreOffice.

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

Text disappears when updating story

When the designer updated a few Incopy stories in the Indesign file, the text disappeared. Anyone seen this before?

Text disappearing when you update a TOC is usually a symtom of havint put the TOC in the main story thread. The TOC must be in a separate story, not thread to anything else, becasue updating replaces the entire story.

How to set text size when printi from a web page

can't increase text size when printing a web page

If you're using IE, click on View, Text Size and then whatever size you'd like. You'll see the changes on the screen and it should print out the same way.
Hope that helps.

Text Disappears when on top of an HTML overlay

Text Disappears when on top of an HTML overlay. This is a very simple file. It's not even part of an MSO. The text is disappearing when I view in both the desktop content viewer and the iPad.
I've tried converting to outlines, doubling the layer, copying and pasting back into. Nothing. Any suggestions

You might also try creating the html and leaving a space for you existing text. Select transparent background for you overlay and the text should be visible.

Text Size When Printing Comments Different Than On-Screen

Hello. We are supporting an end-user with an unusual problem. They are able to make sticky comments fine and adjust the font size on screen. However, when this user goes to print either to a physical printer or a PDF, the font size of the comment is different (smaller) than what is shown on screen.
On-Screen Example:
Print To PDF Example:
Is there an option to match the text size of the printed version to that of the on-screen? Even if the printed text size can be bumped up just a bit, it'd be greatly appreciated. The font size when commenting on-screen is 18 Arial but it seems like the printed version is more like 10 Ariel.
Thank you.

Just tried the latest version of Adobe Reader and the same issue occurs. Making the on-screen font size 70 in the Commenting Preferences field makes NO CHANGE when printed (comes out at about 10 / 12 point font). Even the Print Preview doesn't show the larger font so there's some setting getting lost when you go to print.
Talking to our client, this problem likely coincides with Adobe updates that were pushed out. This is easily reproducible (anyone with an up-to-date version of Adobe Reader can do this) but doesn't seem to be a fix.
Any help out there?

Text missing when printing PDF

We're having a problem with printing PDFs to our networked large format Canon ipf8000 printer from our Mac Pros. We have two Mac Pros, both are having the same problem. When printing a PDF through Acrobat Pro that we have created using either from Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign, that contains live text information (font's are embedded as the applications do this by default when saving a PDF), none of the text will print. All graphics and images will print but text will not.
This initially started off as an issue where the printer would print some characters incorrectly, then this progressed to printing complete gobbledygook, to not printing any text at all.
We had thought that it may be a printer driver problem, but we recently just bought a new printer (same model, just an updated version ipf8300), and installed the new drivers for it and this issue still occurs on this machine.
Converting the text to outline before saving the PDF and sending it to print is the only solution we have found so far to get the text to print.
I have tried printing the same document from a PC, again using Acrobat Pro, and it has gone through completely fine, all text is present and correct, which leads us to believe it is a Mac related issue and not a printer related one.
Has anyone else experienced this or know of a fix for the problem, other than what we are doing currently?

Dynamic text disappears when clicking bold button.

Dear friends,
I have dynamic text inside a movieclip, that I can make it rotate.
the dynamic text properties are : anti-alias for anmations and I emdedded all characters.
When I click on the bold button the the text disappears.
bold_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Click, on_bold);
function on_bold(e:MouseEvent):void
     var my_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
     my_format.bold = true;
     my_mc.my_txt.setTextFormat(my_format);
How can I solve this problem.

the easiest (and not very elegant way) is to add textfields that contain those fonts (and embed them). you can remove your textfields from the display list or otherwise, make them not visible on-stage.

Text disappears when editing a layer in Dreamweaver 8

I have had a problem for a long time now with text
disappearing while I'm editing it in a layer. If I scroll up to the
top of the page and down again (sometimes a couple of times), the
text will reappear, but this is cumbersome (and rather annoying).
Does anyone else have this problem? Is it something I'm doing
incorrectly? Any help anyone can offer would be greatly
appreciated.

Do you still have this problem when you
select that layer in the layers panel?

Why does my text disappear when I apply an effect to it?

Recently, whenever I try applying an effect to my text layer(s), the text completely disappears from the layer and therefore is not showing up when I preview my composition. How do I stop this? I'm using CS5.5 if that helps.

Just the text in my text layer is what's disappearing. I import my image file, drag it onto the board and then click to add a text layer. I type out my text and then go into the effects & presets, select Animation Presets --> Text --> Animate In -->,Straight In MultiLine, drag the effect into the text layer and then my text disappears, as shown in the second image below ...This just recently started happening to me and I don't know how to get it back. I'm using After Effects CS5.5. I'm very new at this programs so I apologize for not being able to provide a ton of info...

Why the Text disappears when I rotate it using Free Transform Tool?

Hi,
My Text is visible before rotating it to verticle position using Free Transform Tool. But when once it is rotated to verticle position the text disappears from the Stage. And it is not an animated Text as well? What is the problem?
Thanks.

If the textfield is manually placed on the stage, you should be able to select the textfield and click the button for Embedding that is in the Properties panel.

Text disappears when graphics frame is placed on top of it.

Hello,
When I try to substitute a large cap in a text frame with a graphics frame in ID CS4, the text disappears.
I have been able to do this successfully in the past, but not with this particular text frame.
Please see screenshots.
Can someone please help?
Thanks for your consideration,
cobaltgreen

That can't be the whole story. The image you posted indicates that if text wrap is applied, the offset is 0 (if it was anything else it would show when the frame is selected, as it is in the screen shot).
Normally you'd actually do this with text wrap and it would push the text to the right (and re-wrap the lines) in the first few lines when the image frame was put into position, but you've done something else we can't see to make that notch.

When using Typewriter tool, text disappears when I click out of box...

Hi!
I'm sure I've seen this question addressed here before but I cannot make the "Search" work. Every time I search I get "no results" even when I search for something as obvious as PDF.
So please forgive me posting a question that I'm pretty sure has been answered in the past...
When I use the Typewriter tool to type some text, and then I click out of the text box that the Typewriter tool created, the text that I typed disappears. If I double-click on the typewriter text box then the text reappears. Then if I click out, the text disappears. And so on...
How do I make that text stay "viewable" even when I click out of the typewriter text box?
Thank you so much!!
Diane

Hi Larry!!
Here is an image where the box with the Typewriter text (the word "test) is "activated", with the comments list showing down below but without the "test" comment in the comment list being highlighted. At the green "plus sign arrow" in the upper-right corner is the word "test".
Now below is an image where the box with the Typewriter text (the word "test") is not "activated" (but you can see the blue box where the word "test" should be showing), with the comments list showing down below, with the "test" comment highlighted, and the "Comments" dropdown menu so that you can see what's black in the dropdown menu.
When I clicked on the "test" comment in the comment list, the word "test" went away in the upper-right corner and the blue box showed up instead.
Am I showing what you need to see or should I show something different?
Thank again so much!!
Diane
