PM 7.0 won't convert fonts to PDF

[yachtboy]

I'm making a series of one-page documents. I drew up a blank document with the frames where I want them and so on, then I open this document and save it under a new name and add my graphics and text. Since I'm new to PM, I didn't want to take the time to figure out how to make master pages and so on. I use three fonts (Times New Roman-Italic, Arial, and Arial Bold) in these documents.

I have made quite a few of these documents. When I am finished, I export them to PDF using the File->Export... function. Most of them work fine, but a handful of them are exported with the fonts stripped and all of the typeface set to courier. Needless to say, this is very frustrating.

I have also tried to do this by printing as a PDF file. It hasn't worked on the problem documents.

Someone suggested that it could be a problem with my graphics, and when I removed one graphic and resampled it, then re-inserted it to the document, that solved the problem in that instance. However, in my most recent problem file, that solution has not helped. In fact, PM won't even export it properly if I do it without the graphic (a JPG cropped with PM's cropper function, letting me slide it around in the frame).

Any suggestions?

Many thanks-
Jason

Hi, yachtboy,

There's a lot of issues there - fonts turning to Courier and using JPGs in PDFs for a start.

Go to this page - faq227-3221 - and download the PM FAQ PDF which is hotlinked to AdobeForums. Those very questions are answered in full there.

Try these for a start:
Random, intermittent Courier substitutions when creating a PDF and
General Graphics Handling Recommendations

Whoa! Thanks for the info--looks like exactly what I needed. That FAQ will be invaluable, I'm sure.

I love this place!
