Sending Fonts to Distiller

I have created a VB 6.0 program that extracts text data from a MS SQL Server database and exports it to a simple text (simple.txt) file.

This file is then sent to the Acrobat Distiller via Win32 API calls (ie, CreateDC, StartDoc, StartPage, TextOut, EndPage, EndDoc, DeleteDC) in order to create a PS file (simple.ps) from the simple.txt data.

Then I can instantiate the PDFDistiller control in my VB app and it will automatically convert the simple.ps to a simple.pdf file.

It works fine on my machine; however it needs to run on the server and I receive the following error message:

"When you create a postscript file, you have to send the host fonts. Please go to the Acrobat Distiller Printer Properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" Page and turn OFF the option "Do not send fonts to distiller."

I have followed the instructions of the error message above and turned off the option specified, but I am still prompted with that message.

Am I missing a place where there is a lingering setting? In other words, do I have to make a registry adjustment as well?

Has anyone encountered this before?

Thanks in advance.

James
