Publishing to PDF Changes Font - MS Access 2007

[crisis2007]

I have a report written with Times font. However when I use the "Save as PDF or XPS" from the tool ribbon, the PDF saves but in some other font. This is happening on only one computer workstation on the network. The other computers maintain the font when saving as a PDF. Any ideas? I cannot find anything specific to this in MS Access when searching around for a solution.

Does the other computer have the same Times font installed?

I will have to check. I assumed it would as it has the same ms office programs but I would have to look to be certain.

I checked and the font is installed. I went and even changed the font in the report to Arial to see if it made a difference. Still saved with the same, unknown font as before. Not sure what the name of this font is or I would delete it from the workstation to see what it would do. This one has me perplexed!

Sorry I haven't heard of this issue before.

I am still having this issue despite everything I could think of. I have changed the front end out, changed the font in the corresponding report to Arial, re-installed Office / Access and the report still comes out with this unknown font. I have verified that Times New Roman and Arial fonts are installed in the computer. If anyone has any ideas, I would certainly appreciate any help. Again, it is a problem on just one workstation.

Does this happen with any other software or just Access? I would search "font changes in pdf" in your favorite search engine.

This only happens in Access. And I am still searching for other solutions too.

I guess it is time to play the what is different game...

Is there any PDF related software on the machine?

Another solution, rather than looking for the needle in the hay stack, would be to reinstall the machine from scratch including OS. Install office first. If it works right, you can install everything that the other machines have and verfy it still works. Then you come to installing one thing at a time to find out when it breaks. It may not break and when it does you have a shot at finding out what the user did to break it.

Thanks for the advice lameid. But the computer ended up being changed out as it was getting old anyway. Once it was replaced, the problem went away. I still have no idea what was causing the problem. We did reinstall Office before changing out the old computer but it continued with the same font problem.
