Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF?  It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

  • When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

    When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

    Hi Janedance1,
    If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to  microsoft word ?

    Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to  microsoft word ?

    Hi amedah,
    Could you please try converting any other PDF file with same fonts and then check.
    It might also happen due to use of some poor fonts which result in garbled text.
    Is the PDF scanned?
    Let me know.

  • When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?

    Hi conversionnewbie,
    Are you able to select the text in Word by triple-clicking inside the text box? (Sometimes text selections can be tricky in converted files.) If you can't select the text, then I'm guessing that the PDF was created from a scanned file (so the text becomes images). Make sure that OCR is enabled when you convert the file to Word. OCR is enabled by default in the ExportPDF web interface, but can be disabled in Adobe Reader. If you're converting to Word from within Adobe Reader, make sure that OCR is enabled and that the correct language is selected:
    Please let us know that works for you!

  • It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    it used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
    Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

  • Font changes when client is using IBE (in browser editing). Anyone had this issue and know how to fix it?

    I'm using Web Font, Open Sans Regular
    It's fine when I log into IBE but when the client does it the font changes, when they add words to the end of an existing sentence the font is fine, it's when they add a return and add a new line of text, this is when the font changes

    Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same exact issue.

  • Why does choosing "convert to PDF" from a Word Doc's context menu bring up two Save As dialog boxes?

    I have a user that every time she chooses "Convert to PDF" from the context menu on a MS Word document she gets a Save As box, enters the name and location, clicks Save. Then Word starts and it brings up another Save As box and makes her enter the name and save location AGAIN. It does then create the PDF, but it is very annoying to her as she makes lots of PDFs for our board of directors (she is our CEO). I have tried it on other PCs that have a similar setup, but none have done this. They all just run the converter window after one dialog box. Please HELP

    Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on?  If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
    Does your user have a custom template?  Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
    Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat??  If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

  • Why did my font change when I uploaded a PDF to Acrobat?

    I uploaded a PDF file to Acrobat so that I could open it in a URL. However, when I opened the file (on both Acrobat and in the URL format) the font had changed on the majority of it.  How can I fix this back to the original font?

    Hi anj1832,
    Do you know whether the fonts were embedded in that PDF file? You can check by opening the copy that's still on your computer  (not the one that you uploaded) and choosing File > Properties and clicking the Fonts tabs. If the fonts aren't embedded, you are most likely experiencing some font substitution issues.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Adobe InDesign CS2 -  Why does the resolution change when I import a PDF file to InDesgin

    When I import a PDF file to InDesgin the resolution from the PDF changes.
    Any ideas?

    InDesign uses a low resolution thumbnail (might be the wrong way to descirbe, but easiest to visualise) to represent images/files placed into indesign. As InDesign is a page layout program it enhances the speed of the application as it doesn't have to draw the images in full detail, but rather just represent them in their size and position in the layout.
    There are 3 viewing settings, available through the View> Display Performance (for the whole document) or Object>Display performance (on an object by object basis).
    The resolution of the image from that point on relies on whether it was Vector or Raster, or in PDF and EPS cases, vector and raster. As already mentioned Vectors and PDFs don't contain a resolution. Vectors are mathematical equations that require the device outputting the image to draw them to the best of their abiltiy.
    PDFs are a wrapper for a file, it can wrap text, vectors and raster for output.
    But all the same, InDesign uses lo-res thumbnails to represent the PDF/Image/Object until ready to output. But you need to adjust the Display Performance.

    The problem is that your postscript file is using fonts Distiller cannot find. You have the list of fonts that Distiller wants. Locate them and notify Distiller by using the menu item Settings -> Font Locations
