Why does Acrobat drop i's when converting from InDesign?

I have Acrobat Professional 9 and InDesign CS4. Sometimes when converting an InDesign document to PDF, it will drop some i's. It doesn't drop all i's, just some. I can go back and do it again and the next time it won't. This is so frustrating. Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
Thanks!

OK, we're on common ground, that, although I've thrown two press runs into the garbage, I haven't researched beyond -
Lower case fi is a ligature; a separate glyph substituted for better spacing and appearance. In ID's preferences, you can toggle to show substituted glyphs. I cannot say if they are good or bad. From the Character Panel you can choose not to use ligatures.
I do not know if I had a corrupt font or an incompatability between ID and AA. As a workaround I either opened the document on a different system, or turned off ligs.
Notice how many errors I had in a directory based mostly in Southfield, for financial professionals.
This problem would be better addressed in the ID forum.

Why does spot EPS not output when converted to CMYK or grayscale?

Apologies if this is a known issue but I can't find it anywhere... I'm using AI CS3 (13.0.2) on an Intel iMac/Os 10.5.4 and I can't figure out why a white logo made from text outlines outputs fine to PDF if I use a spot color but if I change it to grayscale or CMYK, part of the logo doesn't output at all.
The part which self-destructs is a supplied roundel of Caflisch text which has been converted to outlines (unfortunately I don't have the font on my system to do any deep testing). Another part of the supplied logo is a line drawing which outputs fine in any color mode.
So I'm really looking for something to explain why the text part of this roundel outputs fine as a spot color but disappears from view when converted to CMYK or grayscale. I have been placing the file in a Quark 7.1 document and then exporting to PDF but I see the same problem when using the Flattener Preview.
Thanks for any help.

Sorry for talking to myself like this -- been doing it for years...
Finally found out what was wrong: the submitting designer had set the white coloured text objects to overprint. When I set them to knock out all was well.
Kudos to Acrobat Pro Preflight for pinpointing the problem.

Why does some CSS not render when viewed from DW in a browser

I make a copy of my site on my local machine via ftp on my
local machine. The CSS does not render correctly for my top div tag
with the css nav in a browser from my local. It renders everywhere
else, even in the design view but does not render the same when I
view it in a browser from DW. Also, I know that there isn't a
problem with it on the remote machine bc when I go to the site,
everything is fine and the CSS nav renders correctly in the
browser.
Is there a setting I am missing? What is going on? Its very
annoying!

What has Rome ever done for us? :)
Cheers

Why does Acrobat suddenly change fonts when Printing?

I have a 106 page manual I am trying to print. It works fine for 8 pages and then suddenly all headers, that are in color, change to a unidentifiable font. Looks fine on the screen but the manual is trash after page 8. What is the problem
Win XP latest upgrades.
Hp Photosmart 7520.
Using Acrobat X
The images below show the two same pages. One from screen other from printer.

What they're trying to explain is that Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader are two different softwares. There is no Adobe Acrobat Reader. This forum is for Adobe Reader and the one for Adobe Acrobat is at http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat.
Let us know which one you have. Open the application and go to Help>About. What does it say next to About?
If it turns out you have Adobe Reader, follow Pats advice that was posted above. If it's Adobe Acrobat, follow the link posted to the Acrobat forum and post there for help.

Why does text sometimes get garbled when pasting from Excel or opening a PDF in Illustrator?

Hi everyone,
This issue has puzzled me for some time. I've been creating charts in Excel (2008, and now 2011) and pasting them into my Illustrator document (CS5 on a Mac). Sometimes everything pastes perfectly, while other times all or some of the labels, titles, etc. are garbled.
Another strange thing is I can also select a chart in Excel and Save as Picture then chose PDF as the format. The resulting PDF looks exactly how it is supposed to, however when I open it with Illustrator for editing the same thing happens as with pasting.
I realize this issue doesn't involve Illustrator alone, but I figure I have a better chance on these forums than on some Excel forum. If anyone has any ideas to try I would be very happy to hear them!
Thanks very much,
Bern

It's mid-2013 here, this is the first result on Google for this stupid problem. The last comment basically focused on how there are no known solutions to this yet.
ADOBE: I WANT MY PDFs TO OPEN IN ILLUSTRATOR WITHOUT HAVING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG IN THE ORIGINAL WORD DOC OR WHATEVER WAS USED TO OPEN THEM. IF PREVIEW CAN SEE THE FILE AS IT SHOULD BE SEEN, THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE THIS DOWN.
Why do we pay money to put up with this crap? For the amount we are giving you to use your software, you should be on top of these like flies on the stuff that flies like.
I have PDF docs that I need to open in Illustrator because - no doubt due to Adobe's greed - there is literally no other software that can edit the PDF meat. I don't get why InDesign cannot handle PDFs, and we are stuck with this "one page at a time" Illustrator BS. In any case, I need to open these PDFs, and I can't - because they all come out as garbage. I feel like this could be fixed by Adobe in like a week. But that's just not gonna happen, because they would rather spend all their time and resources thinking of new ways to take my money.
Clearly it's a fonts compatibility issue. Why can't we have a dialogue box with character encoding and font selection options when we try and open a PDF?

Why does Acrobat CC lag and jerk when reading pdf's?

Why does Acrobat lag and jerk when reading pdf's?

Thanks, But
3.4GHz i7, NV GTX 680MX 2GB card, 32GB DDR3 ram, 3tb Solid state/spin hybrid hard drive.
I don't think it lacks grunt.
Using big files in photoshop no problems.
The lag is less pronounced if single page is selected in page layout but the problen still exists. It just snaps from page to page and I can't scroll smoothly.
There is no option for 'hardware accelerated page display'
No problem scrolling pdf in a browser, only if the pdf file is downloaded into this computer.
The problem is in Acrobat.
any ideas

Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows Word Program. I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

Why does Acrobat prompt me to sign up when I need to export to excel?

Why does Acrobat prompt me to sign up when I need to export to excel?

Hi shirlaowry,
I checked your account (using the same email address that you use here in the forums), and I don't see that you have any subscriptions. If you're using Adobe Reader, you need either an ExportPDF or Adobe PDF Pack subscription to convert a PDF file to Word.
(Acrobat, as opposed to Reader, lets you save directly to Word format, and does not require a separate subscription for that functionality.)
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara

Why does audio drop out when scrubbing iMovie events?

Why. does audio drop out when scrubbing iMovie events?

If the audio returns if you slow down scrubbing you are probably just scrubbing too quickly.

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Why does Acrobat 11 open cached or "ghost" versions of my PDFs?

Here's my work flow...
Save a PDF from an Illustrator doc/open PDF in Acrobat to sanitize/email PDF
-get revision request-
Revise same Illustrator file/save as a PDF/open PDF in Acrobat and it views as the original PDF!
When I "quick look" on the desktop the PDF displays the revised comp. So my question is why does Acrobat 11 keep the cached image of the PDFs and how can I prevent this? Quitting Acrobat will fix the issue once so if I go to revise the same file for a 3rd, 4th time it'll show the cached version every time.

If you choose 'Preserve Illustrator editing' when exporting from AI, it actually embeds the entire AI file inside the PDF as a hidden attachment. Opening the PDF in Illustrator it will ignore the 'real' PDF content and open the AI object instead, so you never see the changes from Acrobat.

Why does Acrobat allocate more width for spaces than for alphanumeric characters?

When I convert a text file to PDF using Acrobat X Pro, I select a fixed-width font. However, it appears that Acrobat allocates a greater width for space characters in the text file, than it does for alphanumeric characters in the text file. How do I instruct Acrobat to use exactly the same width for all the characters, both spaces and visible characters?
This question is actually a re-write of my previous post titled, ‘Bulk Convert Text to PDF with Acrobat’. I know what the problem is now but do not how to fix it.
Here's a mock example of the content of a text file. In the resulting PDF, the H no longer lies directly under the G. I chose Courier New 8 pt for the font.
ABCDEFG ABCDEFG ABCDEFG ABCDEFG ABCDEFG ABCDEFG
H H H H H H
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you.

If you are comfortable with the settings in the printing, then go back to the PDF Maker settings (create PDF preferences in WORD) and adjust the preferences for similar performance, at least in the job settings and such. The rest deals with how much you want the bookmarks and such.
I am assuming that those PDF Maker preferences set in WORD are retained when you run the conversion from Acrobat that I have the impression you are doing. Other than that, check the conversion settings in Acrobat itself. They are in the preferences. If you the printer preferences are used when converting from Text (you will have to try to see what happens), it would use the default preferences of the printer, not those set in the print menu of an application. The latter only last as long as that application is open and only for that application. For your need, you may need to change them in either the printer (Start>Printers.. in windows) or Distiller, or both. The printer overrides the Distiller settings usually (another setting on this).

Why does Safari go into limbo when I try to search for some things?

     Why does Safari go into limbo when I try to search for some things? I start to enter something in the search window. I get a drop down with suggestion I choose one and it pops up in my search window but just turns a color and does nothing!
    If I quit Safari and bring it back up, then enter the exact same line it's fine. This is just one of the many problems I've been
having with Safari since I installed Yosemite.
     Has anyone got any suggestions or is anyone having the same problem. Is there a way to maybe force my MacBook pro to reinstall Safari or possibly all of Yosemite. I seem to be having a lot of problems and judging by the responses I've received (That would be None) I must be the only one having any problem at all withYosemite. Not sure what to do.
     Any help or suggestions would be great

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

There could be several reasons. It may be that Acrobat spent that time trying and ran into too many bottlenecks. As a test you might print the PDF to a new PDF and try the conversion on the new PDF. It might be there is a problem with the original PDF that the print process would fix..
