Dec 19, 2012 - The next time you want to see a live preview of what a Font might look like without actually implementing it, use this great little trick to reveal a.

The WinTel machines I use have Acrobat 7.0 Pro installed. It is not uncommon to get pdf files from my client's document system that have selected text display in a symbol or greek font but should be something else. I have used Document >Properties >Fonts and see that SymbolMT is indeed an embedded font but it should not be showing up where it is (e.g., document title in headers - should be a NewTimesRoman italic). These files display correctly using the Mac OS/X and Linux versions of Acrobat Reader. To the best of my knowledge, none of my computers have SymbolMT installed. Anybody have a clue where to start to try to fix this on WinTel?

My Linux boxes are boat anchors and I don't always have an Apple handy. 16,983 bytes (Pages from.pdf) Just tried Designer - the document is pretty large (1356 pages in file) and choked the program. It is definitely not something I can post or e-mail as a whole.

I did try extracting the 'Limited Rights Notice' page that showed the problem but when I used 'Document Properties' to look at the fonts, the list was much shorter and did not include SymbolMT, although part of the header still looked like a greek font. I have attached that page - don't think that will get me in trouble.

As you can see from the attached, Designer is not matching up the versions of Times New Roman in the document with those installed on my machine.

I then go to the next Designer dialogue and manually set up the mapping. Then third attachment shows that Designer thinks the stuff that displays in greek is some font (Superscript VNI2) that does not even exist on my system. This would seem to be a bug in Acrobat. I don't think you have a bad font. Stastically, the odds of that are on par with getting struck by lighning and attacked by a shark, at the same time, on the beaches of Lake Michigan. I'm not saying that it can't be it. I see hoof prints, let's look for horses - not zebras.

I think you have a bad tool that created the PDF. BBox errors tend to crop up when the PDF creation engine tries to do something 'stupid' to a font when creating the PDF. Such as, converting a generic Type-1 into a TrueType then from TrueType into a CID font before creating the PDF. Or, just their insertion of the font into the PDF contains buggy code. Or, just ignoring the BBox table completely (common on the really low-budget GDI based tools on the Windows side).

Yes, this can even be the case in MAC OS/X with the ubiquitus 'Save As PDF' feature everywhere - that uses the OS's PDF library (it's better now, but for a long while it was really, really bad). Take a look at what created the PDF (File Document Properties >Description section) - If it wasn't something safe and reliable (e.g. Acrobat) that very well may be the cause. Rather than going to the extreme of reinstalling your OS (let's try to fix the squeeky door not by burning your house down but with a can of 3:1 oil) I would just see if refrying the PDF fixes it - Print the PDF back through the Adobe PDF printer and use one of the high-quality printer settings - such a.
