Text TouchUp

[lb1]

In Acrobat 6 Professional I am trying to touchUp some text but I get the following error message.
"All or part of the selection has no available font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font"

I installed the fonts sent by my customer and restart the acrobat software. But I always get this error message.

On my other machine that have the older version of Acrobat I do not have the error.

Does anyone has a clue?
Thanks.

Hi,

at least since Acrobat 4.0 it is necessary that the font which is assigned
to the text elements which you wanted to edit with help of Acrobats TouchUp
text tool has to be installed on your system. The only difference between
the latest three Acrobat versions is the behavior if this is not the case.

Acrobat 4 and 5 presented either a warning message that the text editing
isn't possible at all or a warning message that the text editing is only
possible if the font is extracted out of the PDF file (which enables you to
make the text correction but let end you up with a completely missing font
within your corrected PDF file).
Acrobat 6.0 simply now refuses to make any text corrections if the font is
not available locally on your system. This makes even a deletion of text
impossible if the font is missing on your system.

In all cases in which a text editing is possible with Acrobat's TouchUp text
tool it actually doesn't use the embedded font from the PDF file but the
local font from your system.

From that perspective it is more than risky to edit a prepress PDF file with
Acrobat's own text tool. Especially if the PDF file wasn't created on the
same system on which the text correction is done because than the chance
that the correct local fonts are available is very low.

All PitStop version before version 6.0 were not dependent from a local font
for editing but used the embedded font from the PDF file (if it was
embedded). Since version 6.0 PitStop needs the same legitimating from you
like Acrobat's TouchUp text tool does. It allows a text correction only if a
local font of the same name is installed on your system.
Contrary to Acrobat's text tool it uses however the embedded PDF font to do
the actual editing if this condition is fulfilled.



PitStop Professional 6.x only allows you to edit text with fonts that
are installed on the local system. That means you
are not allowed to edit text even if the fonts involved _do_ allow that
in their license agreements. The reason for this change is an extra
clause in the license agreement of the Adobe Acrobat 6.0 SDK (software
development kit) that is used to write plug-ins.

Adobe added that extra restriction to protect the rights of font
vendors.

Hope all this help
