Text dropping when creating pdf in acrobat 7 standard

This just started about a week ago. One of our user is adding pages to an existing pdf, using exisitng pdf files and new ones created from word and excel files by printing to the PDF printer. Sometimes it happens right away and sometimes it happens after a few pages are added. letters and numbers just randomly disappear from the pdf. a blank space remains in its place. If you print the document the text is missing from the print out as well. She says she hasn't done anything new or changed any settings. It just started happeneing and it happens on random files as well. I updated her to 7.1 but no deal. I tried removing it from her system and reinstalling, still hainv ghte problem. It happens on other machines as well so I think that rules out something on her machine. I've been researching it to find an answer but nothing seems to work.
I tried the suggestion of delteting the fntcache.dat file and many other things. Its causing issues in her department since she can't get this document finished. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have this same problem. I have tried with both embedded fonts and not; I get no errors.
I've tried increasing virtual memory, playing with PDF setting compatibility (6.0 to 5.0), changing my dpi settings... I've tried printing to .ps or saving directly as PDF. Nothing seems to work.
Note that in one document, I was able to solve this problem by removing and replacing an index marker, but in the document exhibiting this behavior now, there is no offending index marker.
It starts in the table of contents and drops text throughout the book.
I am using:
Acrobat Distiller 7.0
Framemaker 7.0

  • Color changes when creating PDF in Acrobat X Standard

    I'm printing to PDF from Word 2010 by using Acrobat X Standard.  Here are the two issues:
    I have overlaid two text boxes (different colors) on top of each other.  The overall image should be blue on top and bottom with tan in the middle.  When I print to PDF in Word, the PDF is perfect; however, when I print to the printer, the blue on the bottom changes to purple, while the blue on top is correct.  Again, this is the same blue text box, so I don't know why the color changes.
    Also, the tan is a darker shade than what the PDF shows.
    Is this a printer issue or PDF settings issue?
    I'm new to using Acrobat, so any step-by-step help is very much appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Create Adobe PDF is a (by default) a LOSSLESS operation where Acrobat processes the Word graphics data directly into PDF.   Printing is a LOSSY operation that first has Word convert Word->”printer spool”, then the printer driver (Adobe PDF) converts that “printer spool” into Postscript, and then Distiller converts the Postscript into PDF.   As you might imagine, you get MUCH higher quality and fidelity results from the former.
    Have you verified that you are using the same color management settings in the printer from both Word and Acrobat?  Is the Konica configured for Postscript, PCL, other?  There are SO MANY possible options that could be impacting your configuration…

  • MISSING TEXT/GRAPHICS WHEN CREATING PDF

    Hello ...
    When I convert FrameMaker files to PDF, text and graphics are missing in the pdf. Sometimes this happens, sometimes not - the pattern seems to be whenever I am working with a large file (1MB or more)or if I have several windows open.
    My temporary work-around is to save the document into PDF 2-5 pages at a time ... but with a 100-page document this becomes very tedious and time-consuming.
    I have 55GB of free space and 2GB of RAM.
    Does anyone know why this might be happening?
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 with Windows XP.
    Thank you,
    Tina

    Hi Mike ...
    Yes, the graphics are imported by reference.
    But when generating a pdf multiple times from the same file - it's not always the same result. The first attempt may result in some graphics and text not appearing (only several pages may be affected). The second attempt will result in different pages being affected.
    It's not consistent - which really doesn't make sense.
    I have a feeling it's something quirky with my computer - but I wanted to check the forum in case this is a problem with Acrobat 8.0 -before I complain to our IT Dept.

  • Jagged text when displaying PDF in Acrobat or Reader, not Preview

    when viewing PDFs inside Acrobat 9 or Reader X, most fonts appear jagged, whereas they look perfect in Preview.  this problem persists, even at even resolutions like 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%.  everything looks great when printed from Acrobat, Reader, or Preview, or when viewed at Preview.  not all fonts are impacted, i.e. text in some fonts looks great, but many fonts look jagged.
    this problem is occurring on both iMac 24" (OS X 10.6) and MacBook Air 13".
    any advice on how to correct this?
    thanks!

    Try either using a utility such as FontNuke to remove font caches. Or Restart in safe mode, this dumps all caches even Font Caches. Then restart computer and try Acrobat.
    In Office 2001 there is a real bad problem with having two versions of the same fonts causing problemss. Perhaps Acrobat has the same issues.
    To see if this is a problem Try the fiollowing:
    Do something such as above to dump Font caches.
    Next, open Fontbook and locate and choose Resovle Conflicts.
    Run Resolve conflicts, after Conflicts have found open each font that indicates a conflict.
    click on get information see which is the newest.
    Now disable the oldest version whether its installed by the system or by Adobe.
    After all conflicts are worked through,  Quit fontbook.
    Now go to both Main Library > Disabled Fonts & User Library > Disabled Fonts, remove to desktop.
    now select all the fonts moved to desktop and archive them using either Create Archive  from Finder, or Stuffit Deluxe.
    Remove the fonts either a CD/DVD  store the archived files.
    Put originals in Trash and empty.
    Now Try Acrobat.

  • Acrobat distiller keeps on quitting when creating pdf

    Hi there, my Acrobat distiller 10 in OS X Mountain Lion keeps on quitting when creating pdf. Please help.

    Hello,
    1. Please try updating the Acrobat to 10.1.10 and then check the issue.
    2. Go to Settings -> Font Locations. You'll see a list of sources that Distiller gets its fonts from. Make sure that the paths actually exist, delete them if they don't.
    3. Try with different joboptions.

  • [AS][INDCC] How to set Color Conversion field to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset

    How can i set Color Conversion field in Export to PDF dialog to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset? i have done a bit of searching and have found where it has been recommended to set effective pdf destination profile to use no profile but it doesn't seem to be producting the expected results.

    Yes, it seems that i had to make the change after creation, not while creating the preset. thank you.
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CC"

  • Can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word?

    Downloaded the 8.1.4 update and now I can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word.  If I try to create a PDF from the print menu, I get a message indicating that there are no print drivers for this...any ideas?

    Thanks for responding.  Yep, I tried repairing it...no dice.  Then I realized that I'd re-installed AA Pro 8 (having completely given up on the AA Pro 9 upgrade that crashed my system) but not the updates.  So I went through and re-installed each update.  Still no dice. Then I did another repair. Nope.  When I try to create a PDF via the print menu, I get a "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup."  This tells me that I have driver problem. But everything else prints fine, and I'm pretty sure Acrobat doesn't have drivers.  I'm stumped...

  • TPS file is not deleted after FrameMaker creates PDFs via Acrobat 8

    Using FrameMaker 7.2 build 158, and Adobe Acrobat 8, when creating PDF files, the temporary PostScript file (*.tps), which is created before the final PDF, is not deleted after the creation of the PDF is complete.
    This is a big deal for us because we are using a tool which hooks into the PDF-creation of FrameMaker/Distiller, and is reliant on this TPS file being deleted.
    Is this a known bug? Does Adobe know about this? Do any other users have workarounds for this?

    Thomas,
    FWIW, speaking from experience with the Save As route, I've seen
    random "phunnies" in the final PDFs (such as the missing fonts
    issues), a bigger .tps file than the .ps file generated from directly
    printing to file, slower throughput in both the intermediate
    postscript file creation and actual distilling (probably tied in to
    the larger .tps file) and other differences from what the joboptions
    should have been.
    There should not have been any differences in the file sizes being
    created if the same printer instance/configuration was actually being
    used. I also see this on some automated runs with Miramo. It's not
    consistent either - sometimes it works fine and then the next run, the
    process is considerably slower and there are dropouts in the PDFs.
    So far, manually printing to a ps file and distilling always seems to
    work without any issues.
    Your mileage may vary.

  • How to disable 'Remove Hidden Information' popup when closing PDF in Acrobat X on Mac?

    How do I disable the function that causes the 'Remove Hidden Information' popup when closing PDFs in Acrobat X? I'm using OS X 10.9.4 on a Mac?
    I've searched online and was directed to Preferences>>Security (enhanced) to uncheck 'Unable Enhanced Security', but it wasn't checked.
    This box (see screen shot) opens each time I close a PDF. I'm forced to select an option before closing.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Go to the menu Acrobat>Preferences
    In the Preferences window's "Categories" pane, select "Document"
    In the "Hidden Information" section deselect both check boxes
    Click the OK button
    You should be good now.

  • Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's

    Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's. Where can I downlaod it and why is it suddenly happening?

    OS? Version of ID?
    This means that either you have an extra Helvetica Medium font installed and it's interfering with ID finding the T1 version, or the T1 version is damaged. I found this really old thread that explains it fairly well: http://www.asadesigner.com/22-indesign/2d812de56777cc90.htm
    The good news is that it's probably only affecting the page information marks.

  • When creating PDF from web page why does text appears as strange font not readable?

    I am using Acrobat Standard, ver. 9.5.5.  Frequently if I save a web page on either Firefox or Internet Explorer by printing to my Adobe PDF driver, much of the text is rendered in a strange font rather than in the font that appears on the web page.  The only work-around I have found is to print the document to a printer and then scan the printed page to create a PDF.  Is there a solution to this problem?

    The OS may be an issue so what are you using Win7, Win8, XP, MAC, or other? In printing, what job settings are you using? When you open the PDF, check the properties (ctrl-D) to see if the fonts are embedded or not. The problem is likely related to the font not being embedded. The embedding may be a license issue for the font. Acrobat will only embed fonts that are properly licensed. You might try the Print or Press job settings that are a bit better to embedding all fonts.

  • Acrobat 9 adding odd spaces in words when creating PDF

    In the process of creating a PDF from a document using Acrobat 9 Standard AND Pro, extra spaces are being inserted into the text.
    I have searched everywhere for a solution. Anything I found indicated fonts should be embedded. That's not a solution as we embed all fonts used in a document. Technical notes:
    using File > Print and selecting Adobe PDF as printer
    job options customized to embed all fonts used in document
    use of Acrobat 9 Standard and Pro - happening with both versions
    no consistency in the "error" - one PDF creation of the document is mangled, then one creation of the same document is fine
    Samples attached.
    Help!

    We are using Adobe FrameMaker 8.0.
    Save as PDF allows us to use our job options, so we felt it wasn't any different than doing a print - are we wrong?
    Create PDF not an option available with Frame docs.
    Re: software conflict, could having Reader installed on our systems (Windows Vista Enterprise) provide conflict? We haven't received any sort of error messages, etc.

  • Acrobat 8.1 Crashing when creating PDF from webpage

    www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/910569/000091056909000016/form6-k15june09.htm
    I have been trying to create a PDF from the above URL using Acrobat 8.1 using the "Create PDF from Web Page" function.  The Download Status form opens and shows the progress as files are downloaded and converted.  However Acrobat 8.1 always crashes before completing the task.  Acrobat 5.0 successfully completes the task although the formatting leaves a lot to be desired but that's another issue.
    I've tried various values for settings such as processing 1 level or getting entire site but the crash is consistent.
    I have also tried a couple of other machines in the office with the same crashed result.
    Can anybody suggest why Acrobat 8.1 would fail to render this URL into a PDF and what would cause it to crash so consistently?  Is there an alternate method of creating a PDF from this URL aside from loading it into Word and printing to a PDF?
    Any clues appreciated!

    The problem is likely that the web page does not conform to standard HTML. AA8 crashed on me also. You can print the file from your browser. The only thing that would be missing would be the 3 links near the bottom and they are easy to add.
