In order for fonts to be displayed correctly on someone else computer, the font has to either be installed on the computer or embedded into the PDF. Embedding the font into the PDF avoids having the user installing the font onto their computer. You can check that the fonts used in all form fields have been correctly embedded:

Unfortunately, this is another bug with some versions of Adobe Reader. If your form field is set to Rich Text Formatting, and the user does not have the font installed, when they click on the form field, the form field is reset. To avoid this make sure the form field is not set to a Rich Text Field in the PDF.

I want to open a PDF file but I get an error message that "Adobe Acrobat cannot extract the embedded font"TFFGVO+CMSY 10" and that then some characters may not display correctly.Once I open the document, what happens is that I see dots where I expect characters.

Sometimes this error can come up if you import a DWG file from another program such as Autodesk Inventor. In Inventor users can Save Copy As Autocad DWG file which will allow users to open and modify DWG Drawings in Autocad. When plotting to PDF some users can experience issues were when they open the PDF they get an error message which states: "Missing Fonts " and the font will get replaced with ........... in the PDF.

Users often have complaints about the handling of the Symbol font, Greek text, or bullets from imported Microsoft Office documents. A number of "problems" are simply misunderstandings of the way that modern Unicode-compliant Mac applications input text, while in other cases the problems are Microsoft or OpenOffice.org bugs.

Under the classic Mac OS and on Windows, "Greek text" is often entered by simply selecting the Symbol font and typing; entering a would produce α, g would produce γ, and so forth, and if you typed some text, you could later select it, choose the Symbol font, and "make it Greek". While this might have been simple, it also meant that the meaning of your text was dependant on you and any recipients all sharing the same exact fonts. If you were to look at the "raw" form of a document entered in this manner, the data would consist of Roman letters only.

Because Mac OS X is based on Unicode, an international standard designed improve the interoperability of data which gives each character in each of the world's languages a distinct "code point", g and γ are treated as two different characters (as they rightly are). Simply entering one character and changing the font does not transform it into the other.

If you use the Greek keyboard layout as your method of inputting characters, you will need to type them in using Arial or Times New Roman as the font for the characters to appear correctly in Word 2004. There may be other compatible fonts but Arial and Times New Roman tend to contain the most glyphs of the fonts installed on Macs and other fonts, e.g. Futura and Gill Sans, will produce characters that Word 2004 can't display. If you forget to do this, you will see blocks in place of characters when you view the file in Word 2004. You can solve this simply by selecting the blocks and picking Arial or Times New Roman as the font type. This will cause the correct characters to be displayed.

This is because these characters were entered with non-Unicode values in Word, and the OpenOffice.org import filters do not convert the characters to Unicode ones. This seems to be Mac-only OOo bug (or a bug that is only manifest on the Mac, since OOo on Windows has access to Microsoft fonts and Windows methods of mapping characters). Unfortunately, since this bug appears to be Mac-only and Mac OS X is not a "tier 1" platform for Sun and OpenOffice.org, the OpenOffice.org developers who could fix the bug seem to have ignored it.

Hi, when I try to embed my fonts in acrobat XI (pdf'd from Indesign CS5) go to preflight>pdf Fixups>Embed fonts>analyze and fix, it states I have a problem with ZapfDingbats even though I don't have that font in my document? Does anyone know how I locate, override and solve this problem in acrobat. I went to my indesign file and it doesn't have that font in it? I am at a loss to fix this, locate this font to delete it or change it, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, running two different versions of Acrobat is not a supported configuration. When I tried to keep an old version of Acrobat on my system when I installed XI, I ran into problems. If you have a second system that you can use, install Acrobat 9 on that. If you want to try to have both, uninstall Acrobat XI first, then install Acrobat 9, followed by Acrobat XI. Be prepared that things in Acrobat XI may not work. There have been a few updates to XI since I tried this. If you have a Mac, you can actually run both versions (again, this is not supported, but works much better than on a Windows system).

Open up the document properties in Acrobat (Ctrl-D or Cmd-D on a Mac), then go to the Fonts tab. Does it report ZapfDingbats being used? If so, there is something in the file that uses it. The next step is to find where it's being used. In Preflight, select "PDF Analysis>List text using non-embedded fonts". This should help you identify which portion of the document is using this font.

Hi Karl, thanks so much for your help. I went to the preflight analysis and checked the text using non-embedded fonts and thankfully it came up so I could locate and select the 43 instances of zapfdingbats!!! It's a writable pdf, so I have lots of check boxes with ticks as the check and it is locating these as the issue for not embedding it...Any solutions on how to get around this as I need these and this is part of acro XI?

That explains it... Let's approach this from a different direction: Why do you want to embed this font? It's part of the "base 14" fonts, which are expected to be available with every conforming PDF viewer ( ), so you can assume that the font is available wherever your PDF files gets processed. Fonts used in form elements are handled differently than "real" fonts. You would see the same if you had a text field that uses the Helvetica font, Preflight would flag Helvetica as well.

Basically we are working with this company that uses a system for uploading all writeable forms to their server, so any Joe Bloggs in the company can access it, a directory I suppose. The system wont accept the forms I am sending to them, even though they are reader enabled etc for acrobat 5 or later. They said it must be our fonts aren't embedded. So the IT guy over there said, make sure that 100% of the font is delivered in the form??? and they are embedded. I am trying to do this but this bloomin Zaph font is the problem. He also said it could be that I am using acro pro XI, could I not use acrobat 8 but sure, if I reader enable them for 5 or later is that not the same thing. Is that not the point of that function?

Interesting... It looks like Acrobat 9 will actually embed the DingBats font, but will still complain about Helvetica. Tell your IT guys that there is no need to embed the base 14 fonts. For "normal" PDF documents, it's desirable that the fonts are all embedded. For certain standards conform files (e.g. PDF/A or PDF/X), you would have to embed all fonts, but forms are not compatible with PDF/A or PDF/X, so these rules do not apply here.

Thanks Karl for all your advice on this, at least now I know I am at the end of the solution and I am not missing something. I will see what the IT guys say about licenced zapf font and take it from there, see if I can get acrobat 9 to an alternative pc perhaps. What a pain :-(

MathType applies the rules of mathematical typesetting as you type. It automatically chooses fonts, style, spacing and position as you enter the equation. You can modify MathType's rules to accommodate your own style, or switch between automatic formatting and plain text modes with a single keystroke. For maximum flexibility and control, MathType gives you the ability to nudge equation elements in 1/4 point increments. 350c69d7ab
