What would cause characters to be replaced by glyphs when printing a PDF via PostScript driver?

When printing PDFs to our laser printers, occasionally a PDF will degrade, with many characters being replaced by little square glyphs. It never happens on the first page, but usually within the first ten pages if it is going to. The file will cause the same effect on similar printers, and is exclusive to PostScript- the PCL driver will print the file as expected. There is nothing visibly wrong in the PDF, and I am trying to isolate the cause of this problem. Once it starts the problem can get worse, but I've never seen it get better or "work itself out". The sample above is a scan of the output, and the original PDF was version 1.4, the printer is an HP Laserjet 9050dn
Thanks for your help!

That problem appeared different than this. The symptom there was that the screen looked like an old time tv with Horizontal phase lock missing, as series of lines looking sort of like this only extending from top to bottom of screen as un broken lines:

What would cause my Iphone 4 to freeze up when it gets cold?

Whenever my iphone 4 is in an enviroment that is below 50* F it goes unresponsive. Any ideas that would cause that?

Thats still within the 32-95*F operating range. Just try a hard reset and see if it still freezes. Hold both power and home buttons until the apple logo appears (ignore the power off slider).

Apple Support says my serial number is invalid. What would cause this and how could I fix it. And yes, I am certain I provided the correct serial number.

Things that could cause it:

What would cause multiple error lines to appear using validator logic

What would cause multiple errors to appear for a single line as shown below. I coded Regular Expression Validator with a specific matching pattern and all the patterns work fine. When I key in an invalid pattern on a row I get the following errors dislayed. Why am I getting multiple error lines instead of one. Also when the data in the field is in error the field gets cleared. How do I fix this problem?

Looks as though my RegEx script is not coded properly so it is causing the problem.
This is my regex script
8([0-9]{3})|8([0-9]{0,2}\%)
I changed the script above to the following to slowly build the script back to get rid of these multiple errors that are appearing. When I set my regex script to the following then I just get the one error line.
([0-9]{4})
I thought the regex script was working but when I key an invalid value I get 8 error lines as shown above. That should not be happening. This regex script
8([0-9]{3})|8([0-9]{0,2}\%)
is to perform the following logic:
The field I am editing is 4 characters long.
1) The first character must be an 8 and the next 3 charaters must be any character from 0-9
OR
2) The first character must be an 8, the next 0-2 characters must be any character from 0-9, the next non-blank character after any digits must be a wild card character of %
Examples: any number from 8000-8999, 8%, 8n%, 8nn% where n is any number from 0-9

Basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore. If these are tried and you still have problems then you have a hardware failure and will need to have your phone replaced by Apple.

when trying to send a photo via email, I am prompted to setup an email account even though email is already setup. What would cause this? Better yet, how do I fix it?

I have checked this on my device. I see a Default account under Messages created outside of Mail will be sent from the default account. There is an account selected, though it does not show my exchnage account. If it is only an exchange accout, can that not be used for this?

DPS: pinch and zoom function not working on all pages within folio (v30 tools using the pdf setting). What would cause some pages to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer?

What would cause some pages in the same folio to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer that's not allowing the pinch and zoom to work?
I do have a "go to state" button that enlarges graphic to full page on the page. Could this be cancelling the pinch and zoom functionality? Would a box with text wrap ON affect the ability to pich and zoom? What else may be causing this?

I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages)

I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages).
I know the colour graphic shading in the document that causes the issue of larger file size, but it doesn't make sense that printing 1 additional page with same information as first 2 pages would cause this.

What would cause my Game Center app to stop working ?

What would cause my Game Center app to stop working & other apps to just shut off .

I've attached a stripped down version of the subVI which handles the UDP connection.
In the Init and Disconnect cases, I've had to remove the startup and shutdown commands as that's protected info, but they are just fixed U8 arrays. The subVI does not have any incoming errors when executed by itself or as part of the main VI nor does the Init case generate any errors. Also, the UDP Open and UDP Write functions process a nonzero Connection ID.
Let's see, what else? The Init and Disconnect cases operates just once at the beginning and end, as you might expect. While the Read case operating at 1x/sec during normal operation.
Let me know if there's any more insight I can provide.

What would cause this battery problem?

There is a macbook air I am considering buying if the price is right and it is said to have this problem "The internal battery says that it is charging but when the AC power adapter is unplugged the unit shuts down and will not power back on until the AC power adapter is plugged back in." Any idea what would cause this to happen? Thanks!

Hi Ty,
It could be a couple of different things, the first assumption is that it's the battery. If you go to System Profiler and go under the power menu selection does it recognize the battery? What are the statistics on that battery?
It's also possible that the cable which connects the battery to the logic board is the point of failure. Due to the way that the MBA is manufacturer you'll be unable to proceed with "troubleshooting" this and the machine will require service.
You can however, try resetting the SMC and see if that changes anything.

I do not see a Photo streaming icon when I open iCloud. What would cause that?

I do not see a Photo streaming icon when I open iCloud. What would cause that?

The cloud icon means you've already downloaded those Apps in the past and they are in your purchased history.
For payed apps this would allow you to redownload them without having to pay again.
Just tap on the cloud icon to start the download.

I don't think Anthony understood - when I touched the aps saying there were 4 installs there turned out to be pages of them - approx. 125 aps. Took me half hour to delete them all. What would cause this???

I don't thin Anthony understood my question - When I touched the aps icon saying there were 4 messages - pages of aps came up (approx. 115 of them). It took me 1/2 hour to delete each one. What would cause all these aps to apprear on my phone.?

My iPad is suddenly charging very slowly. What would cause this?

My iPad is suddenly charging very slowly. What would cause this?

That should not be the case with the charging. You may want to visit an Apple store and see what they recommend. An iPad will not charge from a USB port on a computer as there is not enough power. You say you are plugging into the wall so I am guessing there is a charger block involved. There may be something wrong with the charger block so it may be worthwhile finding another iPad charger and trying that charger.
