G_Hannigan Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 It will help greatly to know your platform and OS; which version of VW you're running. This should appear in BOLD TYPE on the main index page of the forum. Quote Link to comment

dr paaj Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 For some reason, Acrobat 6 has that problems... The export function from VW tot PDF does the same, even better and faster, and with the recent PDF source(1.5) So why should you still use acrobat 6? Quote Link to comment
curtuckman Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 what is tot? My VW automatically uses the acrobat when exporting a PDF from VW. Is there a setting to keep this from happening? Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'm fairly certain "tot" is simply a typo; should have been "to". You'll find a number of threads dealing with .pdf issues in the Printing/Plotting area of this board. Regretfully, because we're Mac-base, I'm not as much use to you as I might be. Unless you're printing to an Acrobat "printer", I don't believe VW uses Acrobat directly in the export process. The font issue itself (which seems to be the root of your problem) can probably be resolved by removing the offending font from your System. Again, since I'm unfamiliar with PCs, I don't know the name of the/a utility to use. Perhaps someone else can weigh in here, but I'd encourage you to do a search on this board for font conflicts and for additional pdf information. Good luck, Quote Link to comment
Kevin Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 As Travis indicated, you need to check for font corruption. On the Mac, use FontBook. Quote Link to comment
cbaarch Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 the technical font is probably "locked" especially if it is one by Corel in acrobat after creating the pdf select the T (touch up text tool)and select a text block that has technical then right click and select attributes in the dialog box you then check "embed". this needs to be repeat only once if you create a book but needs repeated with new files this is a site for a non-Corel technical font http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts-t.html#Free%20Fonts or you can try Font mapping in VW and delete any references to technical or mapping to technical.

dr paaj Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 what is tot? My VW automatically uses the acrobat when exporting a PDF from VW. Is there a setting to keep this from happening? To instead of tot Do you use Export to PDF in the file menu, or print to PFD, with destiller? Opens Acrobat 6 the files? when you download acrobat reader 7 or 8, I think that, there are no further problems with your text. Quote Link to comment
Tom4 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 When I need to remove fonts I go to c:\windows\fonts. The problem is some do not appear as the name you see in VW font list. I usually more my best guess to a folder then try VW again. xp pro sp2 dual 3gh 3gb vw12.5.1 Quote Link to comment
