RE: Generating PDFs from Word

["Dubin, David" <David -dot- Dubin -at- sage -dot- com>]

Kevin,
What version of Adobe Distiller are you using and how do you have the
settings?
We had problems like that about a year or so ago, but that has stopped being
a problem with Office 2003. 
When we want to create a PDF file, I first ensure that the Distiller
settings are correct and then I click the Print icon. When the Print dialog
box displays, I select Adobe PDF as the printer and send it "to print."
This way I have no problems with it.

Subject: Generating PDFs from Word

Hi folks...

This is a battle I've had all too often. I'm trying to create a PDF from 
Word, using the Adobe PDF driver, and I've had any number of problems. 
Clearly, I've got something misconfigured somewhere.

I've turned OFF the "do not send fonts to distiller" option, and pretty much

everything else is the default settings.

I've been getting "invalid font" errors in my pdf logs...and for a while, I 
thought they were helpful. I found a few stray blank spaces in my document 
that were the offending fonts. Great, that's progress.

But now, I'm getting these same warnings and so-help-me, I can't find these 
fonts in the document. Anywhere.

Here's the content of my latest log after having my pdf bomb on me:

*********
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: ArialMT not found. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%%

Stack:
/Font
(ArialMT)
true
/TTE1B73D08t00


%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
************

Anyone have any suggestions? I'd love to hear them.

Cheers,
Kevin
