Re: [CGUYS] Adobe update messed up printing PDF files
Wayne Dernoncourt My wife said that the printing on a PDF file was squished. Squished? I couldn't tell what was going on so I looked at it, the copy on the screen is fine, when she prints out, it's wrong. The original text was italicized, the printed is bolded. I don't know much of anything else about fonts, Helvetica from Times, etc. I updated her Acrobat this past weekend, I have to figure that this is related. Does anyone have a clue on how to figure out what got whacked and how to unwhack it? All help is gratefully appreciated. Responding to my own message... It also seems that the kerning is messed up, the text height may as well but that could be an optical illusion going from italics to bold, etc. -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly Taglines for sale, see our red tag sale *** ** THIS LIST HAS MOVED TO YAHOO** ** PLEASE JOIN THE DISCUSSION THERE ** ** Info at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ***
Re: [CGUYS] Adobe update messed up printing PDF files
Wayne here is a suggestion try another PDF reader. Nuance and Foxit both have a decent PDF reader and I have had to use them on occasion when Adobes would not open a PDF file I received. I got an invoice from a vendor for a conference and I downloaded it repeatedly and Adobe would not open it. Tried it in Foxit and it came out fine? DOnt know why but this happens every now and then. I have a feeling it is the software they use to encode the PDF page. But try either one of those and see if it is the same.
