Thanks... it's Adobe 4.
I was using Times New Roman because I was hoping the standard fonts won't
need special embedding.
Thanks for your help.

A. System fonts (Times New Roman and Arial) do not need
to be embedded.
B. The PDFWriter does not embed fonts...Distiller will
embed the copyright symbol.
C. What version of Distiller are you using...the
PDFWriter was discontinued after version 4?
D. It sounds like you need to upgrade...AB is at version
6.

Here's a query I have regarding making pdfs out of Word documents.
I format the Word document to look exactly the way I want it to.
I then print it via Adobe Acrobat - which gives me two choices...
PDFwrite and Distiller.
Distiller doesn't allow me to embed fonts so I always choose the
PDFWriter option.
Trouble is... the resulting pdf file seems to arbitrarily decide to mess
up some of the text... letters will be overlaid or crunched up so they're
unreadable.
I can re-type the offending page in Word, export that single page as a
pdf and then replace the corrupted page in the pdf document - which is a time
consuming but effective way of overcoming the problem.
Is there a better way to do this?
Also... I can't seem to find anyway at all of getting the pdf file to
embed the copyright symbol... It appears as a ? when I use PDFWriter so I know
it's not been embedded and in Distiller it appears as the correct copyright
symbol but when I upload my document to where I want it to go I keep getting
the error message telling me my fonts aren't embedded.
I've tried other free converters such as Win2PDF and 995PDF but they seem
to be impossible to format correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
