The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Acrobat Pro 9 doesn't embed postscript fonts in pdfs

Asked by bsteyn in Adobe Acrobat

Tags: adobe, acrobat, postscript, fonts, embed, pdf, xp, sp3

We have around 30 Windows XP pcs with Acrobat 8 Professional, and 6 with Acrobat 9 Professional.

Apart from a select few, all work the way they should when people convert Word 2003 documents into PDF files.

We have 3 pcs with either Acrobat Pro 8 or 9 (it has happened in both applications on the same pcs) where postscript fonts in the Word document are not being embedded into the created PDF. This basically is resulting in a blank PDF being created.

I have checked the Font usage in the PDF and none of the fonts are listed or even replaced. These fonts are our main corporate fonts so we can't replace them with opentype fonts.

The fonts are installed on the pcs using Adobe Type Manager Deluxe 4.1

The only obvious difference between the majority of the working pcs and these ones is SP3 (however one other PC also has SP3 and works fine).

The only way I have managed to get the fonts embedding again is to remove the Acrobat software, and XP SP3. Then reapply SP3 followed by Acrobat.

However the problem has returned on one pc since i did this, so I need to get to the bottom of why Acrobat is doing this and find a quicker permanent fix.
