Re: [CGUYS] Adobe update messed up printing PDF files

 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.

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.
