When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts

I got this error:
"When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" page and turn OFF the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts."
This strikes me as bad practice. I only want to use system fonts and document fonts will muck me up.
That being said, I could not easily find a way to fix this with Acrobat Pro XI. I opened Control Panel (Windows 8) and found the printer and mucked around in the various ways to get to change the PDF settings (there are several ways, and some of them present the choices as bold and not just regular). I found two separate switches for "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" and turned both off, BUT that did not work.
Frustrated, I went back to FrameMaker and clicked File > Print Setup and then for the PDF printer, Printer Properties. There I found a THIRD instance of "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" that was set differently than the other two. This was the setting the error message meant. Change this one.
Thanks for the convoluted UI, Adobe. What a pain, but there is the answer for all who follow after....

> Windows 7 and Frame 7.2.
This is not a supported configuration and probably does not work, due (I'm guessing) to driver API changes from XP to Win7, which would affect generating PDF and Ps output. This would affect Save-as-PDF and Print-to-Ps+Distill (unless you have a newer version of the full Acrobat product).
As it happens, I'm going to attempt something similar: FM 7.0 on Win7 64 Pro. However, I'm going to install that old FM in "XP Mode".
XP Mode is a 32-bit virtual machine running actual Windows XP inside Win7. It is (now maybe "was") available for Windows 7 Enterprise, Professional and Ultimate (but not Basic, Home or not-so-Premium). When XP went off support life earlier this month, Mr.Bill may have taken down the ability  to download XP Mode (or not, since some large enterprises are able to  purchase continued support for XP at some great cost). XP Mode never was supported for Win8. There are other VMs for Windows available.
If XP Mode is still available, you also need a CPU that has hardware virtualization, which all recent 64-bit AMD processors do, but which is fused-off in many low end 64-bit Intel processors. AMD processors need a separate unobvious hot-fix patch installed before you do anything else about XP Mode.

  • When you must start your own thread and why people shouldnt have to

    I just wanted to say that I get pretty annoyed when a Moderator is extremely rigid in their interpretation of forum rules.  Especially when it comes to telling people not to resurrect old topics.   
    If posting on old topics was bad, you should just close any topic with no responses for 30 days.  But you don't because that would be absurd.  Just because a topic has not had replies in 6 months does not mean the thread has run its course.  It may just be waiting for someone with more information, better information, or just better discussion.
    You know why it makes sense to jump on another thread?  Because most users likely dont stop by to help others on a regular basis, I certainly don't, and forum moderator make up the bulk of responses and are not always the most helpful.  But I get notified when someone posts to a thread I am already participating in.  So it brings me back.  So if you have the same issue, or more info about an older thread, by all means please post in it, to bring me and everyone else back with new information we may have learned.   You instantly get an audience of people that know something about your issue.  And it makes threads more complete, because so many times threads just fizzle out with no conclusion until someone resurrects them. 
    I just want to throw that out there, because this is an MSI user forum, and I am sure a lot of users would like to avoid repeating themselves, copying old info from older relevant threads into a new one.   There is a reason you tell people to search, because there is relevant info already there, and if their issue is the same, then they should be able to add to that thread discussion.
    Hijacking a thread is completely different, and should not be tolerated when your post is not relevant.  Resurrecting threads should not be discouraged if they still have travel left in them, because it brings people back and makes thread that you search for more complete.

    It is always best to offer individual personal assistance with each OP's concerns. A large percentage of the time, the people that hijack or re-open old threads are just plain lazy to open their own, and often don't even have the same mainboard or exact same hardware. Two identical boards and hardware configurations can run and perform different due to variances in the actual components. To make matters worse, some give absolutely no system component information on which to base a suggestion or recommendation on anyway.

    Rules are rules! What's the point of having them if not enforced? There is a distinct difference between 'rule' and 'guideline'.
    Typical example of a hijacker! Doesn't even list the CPU they have! If it was up to me, I would make signatures mandatory at the time of registration! Too much time back and forth is wasted asking for it. Then, a common response is that they don't think it's relevant! Say what? It wouldn't be asked for if it wasn't 'relevant' to provide a better troubleshooting strategy.

  • "You must update your system software before using this setup assistant"

    Hello,
    I've installed the new Mac OS X on my MacBook (CoreDuo) and I'm receiving this error when trying to setup boot camp. I had a perfect installation of it on Tiger, and my system is fully up to date with all the latest updates from Apple so I'm a little perplexed as to the solution?
    http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj83/chrisageuk/bootcamp.png
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Just to update the situation - I found the reason.
    For some, unbeknown, reason, journaling was disabled on Macintosh HD. Enabling it resolved the issues.
    Many thanks for the help.

  • "You must restart your system" error when installing Tiger on a new drive

    While trying to install Mac OS 10.4 from the install DVD the install stops during the "Basic Install ..." phase and I get a gray screen that says "You must restart the system by pressing the power button ....." shown four different languages. I restart installation over and over, it never gets past that first section. Gray screen, panic stop.
    I installed a new 200 GB Maxtor DiamondMax Ultra ATA/100 hard drive in my system. The system already had a 120 GB Maxtor. The 200GB is configured as the master and the 120GB as the slave. I have a new SIIG Ultra ATA/133 2 Channel PCI Interface (https://eshop.macsales.com/item/SIIG/SCMP4A12/) also installed.
    Here's my configuration.
    Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) 1GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.8
    - SIIG Ultra ATA/133 2 Channel PCI Interface
    - IOGEAR Hi-Speed USB 2.0 / FireWire 400 (1394A) Combo PCI Card
    - MAXTOR STM3200820A (200 GB drive, master)
    - MAXTOR 6B120P0 (120 GB drive, slave)
    I tried disconnecting the 120GB hard drive, leaving just the 200 GB on the bus and I get the same gray screen a few seconds into the basic OS install. Tried removing the IOGEAR USB 2.0 card, same message. Since Mac OS X was originally installed on the 120GB, I can restart Mac OS 10.4.8 from that drive and use that drive. Once restarted on the 120GB drive I see the 200 GB drive, Disk utilities see it just fine, drive reports no error in the Disk Utility. The 200 GB disk even formats, I see it on my current MAC OS 10.4.8 as the second drive. I just want to get Mac OS installed on the 200 GB.
    If you have seen this gray screen before installing on a 200 GB Maxtor or have any insight I would be most appreciated.
    PowerMac G4 (AGP Graphics) Mac OS X (10.4.8) SIIG Ultra ATA/133 2 Channel controller, 200GB Maxtor

    Hi Frank,
    With all that additional third party hardware it will be difficult to get a proper installation. You can either take out ALL 3rd-party hardware (just leave the 200 GB hard disk in there, but also take out the 120 GB) or you can simply clone the system from the 120 GB disk to the 200 GB disk. You can do that with utilities such as Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • Couldn't create a postscript file for the devnagri script from indesign

    Hi,
    Couldn't create the postscript file for the indesign devnagri script. Its throughing error saying offending fonts.
    I have added a link where u can download the rar file which contains indesign file and required fonts.
    http://wikisend.com/download/278714/Devnagri Script.rar

    @Raghugada – I tested with your new font (no license restriction) and could print to PostScript and distill to PDF without problems. Something else is wrong on your side. Could you provide an IDML file instead of the inDesign file? I will test this as well.
    And: How do you print to PostScript?
    Do you do it with the right PPD? The "Adobe PDF 9.0" ? (PPD => PostScript Printer Description File)
    Do you do it with the right setting in the print dialog of InDesign?
    PostScript Level 3, binary, all fonts fully embedded?

  • Awesome Tip for editing a PDF when you don't have the fonts

    Needed to do this yesterday and looked online and found out how to edit a PDF file in Illustrator when you don't have the fonts. This is a godsend and thought others might benefit from it if they don't know about it.
    Problem: You get a PDF file from somebody and when you try to open it in Illustrator, the PDF is using fonts that you don't have so it substitutes the fonts and screws everything up.
    Solution: Create a new Illustrator document the size of the PDF.
    Place the PDF into the Illustrator document.
    While the PDF is selected, go to Object menu / Flatten Transparency
    In there, make sure"Convert All Test to Outlines" IS checked.
    Click OK and there you go, everything is converted to outlines, including the fonts and you can do with it what you want.
    Enjoy!

    It's an excellent tip. This can also be done within Acrobat: Flatten transparency with Convert Type to Outlines toggled on, then Save As a new PDF, then Embed-Place the new PDF in Illustrator. It's a functionally identical process, although yours is superior because it requires fewer steps.
    While Tom is right that you can't edit the text (because it isn't live), you certainly can, for example, include artwork from another party that would otherwise lose its typographic appearance.

    Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
    I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.

    When I create a new file with 500px wide by 500px long it shows up on my screen as a rectangle. When I go to Image > Image Size it still shows the image as 500 x 500 yet it is clearly not a square. This also occurs if I try to create a circle, selecting the ellipse tool a checking the box for it to make a perfect circle it shows up as an oval.

  • I get a message saying: "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement". HELP!!

    Hi i have an iMac with  10.9.3 and when i tried to open a PDF link or a PDF document in Safari 7.0.4  this message appears: "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement".  What can i do to solve this?

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in the preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.
