Question
Hello Ken--
I have several documents in a template that has been used around my office quite a bit. The documents have a first page header that includes the title of the document, written on a red colored box. On the word version, the title (the actual text) shows up fine. However, once we convert to pdf, the box is there but the title (the actual text) disappears.
Can you offer any insight on why this may be? We've tried everything we know how to do!
Thanks so much!
--Courtney
Hi Courtney,
Double check that the fonts are set to be Embedded in the pdf options when creating the pdf.
If you are using the print to file method, be sure the "Do not include Fonts" box is not checked on.
Another possibility is the font being used is corrupt or has a licensing restriction (most microsoft fonts are this way). Try using a different font and see if it continues.
Thanks,
Ken Black
