Problem with pdf file   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #640 of 1283 |
I convert my exp files to pdf using pfd factory. Everything was fine
with Adode Reader 6.0. Now some of my students, who I believe have
7.0, are having difficulty reading the files. The problem is with the
math symbols like summation signs. I don't have a problem with 5.0 or
6.0. The students say that they get an error message about a font not
being available.

Is anyone aware of this problem? There was a similar problem with 5.0
which was corrected with a patch or update.

Bill, I did what you suggested and it fixed the problem. I went to the fonts menu in pdfFactory and embedded the missing fonts. My files were fine in 6.0....

As long as you embed the fonts, AA7 or AR7 should pickup the PDF and open it just fine. If there is a problem, then it is a problem with AA7 that I have not...
