Cant See Text

[johnharte]

Hi,

I have a Acrobat file, which in 1 machine I can view OK, but in another I cannot see the text.. Simple, copy all the fonts from the first machine to the second machine???

OK Tried that, Still cant see the text, even though I assumed the fonts had been embedded..

Is there something simple I am missing?

Thanks in Advance,

John.

Well, first...remember one reason why pdf's are useful.

The retention of formatting (fonts, etc.) whether or not the user/viewer has them or not.

Initial questions come to mind though...

1.Which versions of viewers are you using on each machine.
2.How was the pdf created and what options were used.

Specifically what I'm getting at is...

If a pdf was created using options for 4.0 compatability you cannot open it using a viewer that only supports 3.0. If this is the case, you have a few options. Recreate the pdf (if you can) using 3.0 compatability settings. Upgrade the 3.0 viewer to inable opening of 4.0 files.

This may not be your problem but it's a start to solving it.
