It sounds as if Adobe PDF isn't set as the default printer (it should be) and you may be invoking a printer font that isn't actually installed on your system but is resident on the printer.

It is usually set to Off; but On would be better to accurately reflect the font display on screen. Art On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 2:13 PM, Linda G.
