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.

How to change the font size of Text Box Properties Appearance tab into 2 decimal digit.

How to change the font size of Text Box Properties Appearance tab into 2 decimal digit. I am uanble to modify it to 5.38 pt for example. Its only allowing to 1 decimal place.

Click on each field and the choose Properties from either File menu (or if on Mac hold dow mouse button until context menu appears choose properties)
go to Font
choose desired size and type font,you can choose to make this the default.
Do this with each field.
Or if you have a lot of fields:
while one is selected select all of them
then go to fonts in properties
change Font and size and make default.

Framemaker8 dingbats font missing on win7

Help! We lost our frame expert.
We use dingbats font in our frame templates for a variety of symbols, design elements as well as text elements. On win 7, we get a missing font error. I purchased ITC dingbats and installed on win 7, but still getting a missing font error.
I think I have to edit the maker.ini file but not sure where or what I need to add.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

SOLUTION! This appears to related to the fact that the object in the file was a GRAPH. The increments had always appeared blank in the final document, and the corresponding cells in the datasheet were blank. To fix the problem, I had to enter text in every blank cell in the first column of the datasheet to make it visible as a Category Axis label in the graph,. Since it didn't matter what the text was, I just used a period symbol in each empty cell. Then I could group select the Category Axis label text at the bottom of the graph, apply the Character Style with the preferred font, and CLEAR the override (if it appeared) to the Character Style.
I then closed and reopened, and the missing font message did not appear. I removed the periods in the datasheet, saved again, opened, and the missing font message appeared to be gone for good.
So it does appear that whatever font was assigned to the Graph Category Label text was still assigned, even though the font wasn't visible in any of the panels or through Find Fonts.
NOTE: The unwanted InterstateTab-Regular Type1 font NEVER APPEARED anywhere that I could see in Illustrator. It didn't appear in FIND FONTS or in my CHARACTER panel, even when I only selected one individual "invisible" increment, or one of the increments when it became visible with the period symbol. However, it was obviously embedded in the graph element itself at the time I had created the graph. And if I created a pdf file, from Illustrator or from the InDesign file the Illustrator art was linked to, it appeared in the FONTS tab. So it was clearly getting embedded in the pdf file. The only font that every appeared in any window, except for the missing fonts message on opening, was the correct InterstateRLTab Regular Opentype font.

Replaced font still appearing in missing fonts

Hi All,
In my FrameMaker template I was missing a font called "Palatino". I changed the font in the template to another font that is available with me.
I changed the font in every Paragraph tag and Character tag in the template. And did Global Update. I double checked everything.
I did it manually in one of the files and imported to the other files.
But in some of the book files, I am still getting the missing font alert for "Palatino". It is a mystry for me, where I am leaving some track of the old font. I am 100% sure the font do not appear in any of the Paragraph tags and Character tags in the template
Is there a way I can search for that font in the book files.
Please let me know. I quick help will be highly appreaciated.
Regards,
Com

Hi,
Font info is also stored here:
Stored table tags or in a deleted table title
In a left/right master page, if your document is single sided and you had deleted the master page of the other side
Master pages
Reference pages
Graphics files
You can also open the MIF file (preferably with MIFBrowse: http://www.grahamwideman.com/gw/tech/framemaker/mifbrowse.htm or in another text editor) and search for the font name.
Or you can deactivate "Remember missing font names" in the Preferences and then open your file. FrameMaker will permanently replace Palatino with another font. Only if the font is used by a graphics file, FrameMaker will still try to find this font.
Best regards
Winfried

Dingbat fonts not displaying in Leopard 10.5.2

I just spent the day troubleshooting a problem where Zapf Dingbats wouldn't display in Quark 6.52 on an Intel iMac running 10.5.2. Thinking the problem was a naming conflict, I decided to remove all PostScript fonts, replacing them with OTF versions that had unique names. As an added precaution, I archived and installed Leopard again.
When I tested Quark in 10.5, +ITC Zapf Dingbats Std+ worked, but after installing 10.5.2 it didn't.
So I called Apple, and while testing it turned out that other dingbat fonts such as Symbols, Webdings, Wingdings, etc. didn't work in TextEdit and Pages. The Tier 2 tech said it is indeed a problem with the latest Leopard update and that he'll let me know in the next five days what the workaround or solution is.
So I'm posting this to help those with similar problems avoid a long call to tech support. When I have an answer I'll post that.

In showing this anomaly to someone this morning, I pasted Dingbats & Wingdings strings into a bare TE document, and, indeed, it gets the Private Use character substituted all over.
If you make the TE doc rich text, select those PUA chars, and set the font to Dingbats or whatever, do you get the right stuff?
And, while Keyboard Viewer input doesn't work for TE (still Lucida Grande subbed), it works fine in other applications, like Word. Do you think that, then, it's still Kbd Vwer mapping at fault? I find it hard to believe that Word is smart enough to overcome that flaw somehow...
Unfortunately I don't have Word to test, but I would wonder whether it is actually displaying PUA points or is just somehow using Latin points with its own non-Unicode fonts or something like that.

Rich text field will not show proper font attributes! (Bug? - RTF OTF font handling)

I created two text form fields (rich text)...
In Windows 7, Write program (using it to format the rich text content)... I edited my two lines.
Line one: mix of two font sizes and a few attribute changes... pasted into the first text field perfectly.
Line two: similar to the above... pasted into the second text field but the font is appearing in bold! It is not bold in the source, nor is it preset in the text field properties! I even pasted it back into Write AND Word and it pastes as I intended it.
Why is Adobe doing this? I even tried to toggle >Text Style > bold on/off, clear formatting... these functions do not work!
If I bring up the properties toolbar (Ctrl-E), bold is toggled on but I cannot toggle it off, I can add underline, I can change the font size.
UPDATE: It seems that Adobe Acrobat is NOT reading the OTF font correctly! If I change to a different font, in the same family, the problem changes from set on bold to set on italics!
It is specifically related to the font I am using but is ONLY a problem when using Rich Text fields. In other words, the entire font family works perfectly if I inserted a text box or use the font family in any other Adobe product.
I have submitted a bug report: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en

Another possibly revealing clue is that when I go to Text Field Properties > Appearance tab > Text / Font, I see the entire family of this particular font. However, when editing the text in the properties toolbar (Ctrl-E), only a small sub-set of this font family appears and the attributes behave in an odd manner. Example: normal font appears as italics but if I switch on BOLD, the italic attribute is gone... and other strange attribute problems.

Certain pages text doesn't appear properly--how do I reset

On Certain pages (craiglist.com) the text doesn't appear correctly...the best way to describe it is the text appears as strange characters and is illegible. In addition, the characters are squished together. Is there a way to reset something? I've already tried emptying the cache, reset safari, enlarging/reducing font size.

Make sure you get rid of the fonts Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic if you have them. Also clean your font caches with FontFinagler (use Google to find it).
If you still have problems, send me a screenshot (tom at bluesky dot org).

I have the iPhone 4S and my daughter has the iPad 2. We share my Apple ID. Is there any way to stop her text messages from appearing on my phone, and vice versa? She doesn't need to be reading my texts!

no, there currently is no way of doing this. You can only create a second Apple ID.

How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

Hi people,
I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
<div id="apDiv2"><a href="index.html"><img src="divs_dw/jtgd_logo_trans.png" alt="jtgd_logo" title="your description goes here" width="176" height="163" /></a></div>

Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.
