Re: Rely on system fonts only
At Tammy's request, complete instructions! These are for Windows XP, SP3. If Windows 7 is much different, maybe someone can revise these. To permanently turn off the Rely on System Fonts Only; Do Not Use Document Fonts setting 1. From the Start menu, choose Printers and Faxes. 2. In the Printers and Faxes window, right-click the Adobe PDF printer and choose Properties. 3. In the Adobe PDF Properties dialog, choose Printing Preferences. 4. In the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences dialog, clear the Rely On System Fonts Only check box. 5. Click OK. 6. In the Adobe PDF Properties dialog, click the Advanced tab. 7. Click Printing Defaults. 8. On the Adobe PDF Settings tab, clear the Rely On System Fonts Only check box. 9. Click OK, then click OK again. Simple and obvious, right? /sarcasm Jenny On May 12, 2010, at 6:41 AM, Spectrum Writing wrote: Jenny, Would you mind sharing this information?

RE: Rely on system fonts only
Thanks all. And yes, it was confirmed by Adobe that every time Adobe does an automagic update, your settings are wiped out and you must reset. Sigh. Still, the BIGGER issue is that I use ONLY Arial and Times New Roman Fonts in all my documents - system fonts! I do not use embedded fonts in my documents. It's ONLY on Win 7/64 bit that this setting becomes an issue. Slap these files onto a Win XP SP3/32 bit system and the setting does not become an issue. As I have said before, this is a non-reproducible situation from system to system - Two very savvy FM sources from the list have the same issue for all documents on their Win7/64 bit system, another source has said that it's an issue for only some of his documents, and yet another never has the issue. I just saw the same issue be potshot at a client site well - some users had the issue, some didn't, etc. It would be nice if Adobe would acknowledge this issue and try to resolve it. Thanks again all! This list is the best.

Re: Rely on system fonts only
Is there any way to keep that option turned off? I have to remember to uncheck it every time I print to my PDF printer. There are two places to set it in the Adobe PDF printer properties.

Rick Quatro told me how to set it at the system level using the Printers and Faxes control panel, but I missed the AdvancedPrinting Defaults one.
