PDF question

[Joy]

Our (non-profit) organization puts out a newsletter (created in Publisher),
and we'd like to convert it to PDF to send it to some people that way. I
know how to do this (I have Primo PDF), but when I just did it, the fonts in
(small) sections on two of the pages were garbled. In one instance it was
an unusual font, so I thought that might be the problem. But in the other
instance it's not an unusual font. Is there any way I can change/correct
the garbled font? I have Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0. Seems like I might
have tried to upgrade a while back and it didn't "take" ? ? (When
something is a download, I only have dial-up and if it's too slow it cuts
off and won't finish.

I found them in the list of fonts under Tools - Commercial Printing Tools.
I'm not real clear what embedded means. (Sorry). Which brings to mind
another question I have. Someone else does this newsletter and she sends it
to me for proofreading. Each time I open it in Publisher, I get a window
saying (in this case), "The font info below shows what fonts are embedded in
your publication or are unavailable". So I just checked the two fonts
(Calibri and Lucida Grande) on that same list and they are there. Those two
in that list both say Unknown-Unavailable-Unknown in the 3 columns. The
other two (Andy and Abadi MT Condensed) say, "TrueType-System-May Embed".
So where do I go from here?

Embedding allows the font to be seen in "all it's glory" by all recipients.
If you can't/don't embed a fancy font and the file is viewed by someone
without that font, they don't see that font. It'll be substituted with
something else or I've seen it substitute nothing. You get these weird empty
spaces. Some fonts allow you to embed, some don't.

So basically I should embed those fonts, then? And that should eliminate
the garbling when I make it a .pdf?

I think I checked the correct box to embed Andy and Abadi... Then I
converted the publ. doc. to .pdf. But (and this is the second time this
happened, although a third time it didn't), when I open it in .pdf it's only
showing the first and last pages of a 12 page (5½ x 8½) newsletter.

I can embed both Andy and Abadi subsets. I am not using the commercial
printing options. I am creating the booklet and going straight to the PDF
print. All of my pages are printing, none of the formatting is lost.
JoAnn's email is correct if you delete the words *no spam*.

This is SO frustrating. I just tried again without success. I can't send
you a .pdf when it's only converting two pages. Could I send you the file
as a .pub? And which e-mail address do you want me to use/


Yes. If you'd like, I have neither of those fonts. You are welcome to send
me a test .pdf to see if I get a clean image or not.

So basically I should embed those fonts, then? And that should eliminate
the garbling when I make it a .pdf?

Embedding allows the font to be seen in "all it's glory" by all
recipients. If you can't/don't embed a fancy font and the file is viewed
by someone without that font, they don't see that font. It'll be
substituted with something else or I've seen it substitute nothing. You
get these weird empty spaces. Some fonts allow you to embed, some don't.

I found them in the list of fonts under Tools - Commercial Printing
Tools. I'm not real clear what embedded means. (Sorry). Which brings to
mind another question I have. Someone else does this newsletter and she
sends it to me for proofreading. Each time I open it in Publisher, I
get a window saying (in this case), "The font info below shows what fonts
are embedded in your publication or are unavailable". So I just checked
the two fonts (Calibri and Lucida Grande) on that same list and they are
there. Those two in that list both say Unknown-Unavailable-Unknown in the
3 columns. The other two (Andy and Abadi MT Condensed) say,
"TrueType-System-May Embed". So where do I go from here?

(I'm using Pub 2007 but I think it's the same in 2003.)

Tools - Commercial Printing Tools - Fonts

Look for your fonts. Can they be embedded? Are they embedded?

The first one is "Andy" and the other is "Abadi MT Condensed".


What fonts were giving your problems?

Our (non-profit) organization puts out a newsletter (created in
Publisher), and we'd like to convert it to PDF to send it to some
people that way. I know how to do this (I have Primo PDF), but when
I just did it, the fonts in (small) sections on two of the pages
were garbled. In one instance it was an unusual font, so I thought
that might be the problem. But in the other instance it's not an
unusual font. Is there any way I can change/correct the garbled
font? I have Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0. Seems like I might have
tried to upgrade a while back and it didn't "take" ? ? (When
something is a download, I only have dial-up and if it's too slow it
cuts off and won't finish.

Hi,

Perhaps your pdf file is damaged by generation. I think you can try a
utility called Advanced PDF Repair to repair your PDF file. It works
rather well for my damaged PDF files. Its web address is

Joy, in case you haven't noticed, Alan's email address is the same as
the web address for the product he is supposedly a "user" of. I'd advise
you to take his "advice" (read: advertising) with a pinch of salt.

Plus he seems to use that same response to several situations which seem to
have nothing to do with damaged files. I do believe I smell a
spammer........
