| 340522 | 2005-04-02 01:38:00 | Hello there. Being very new to Adobe PDF, I thought Id take a few practice lessons on thie home PC to see how it works. Ive created a 1 page MS Word document in TT Times New Roman font, saved it to PDF format. Now, when Im in Adobe Acrobet, I can select the Line & insertion point, I can delete the character OK, but when I try inserting its replacement, I get "Warning - You cannot edit text in this font". An Ok button is the only option. So I looked under Help, Font but nothing much there. So, please, how do I edit & replace text in the PDF file ? Is there another font I should use in MS Word before converting to overcome this ? Thanks............ John in Mosgiel. |

| 340523 | 2005-04-03 09:56:00 | Hi John I see no one has come up with any suggestions for you, but I did a google search on that message which led me to this page (www.math.utah.edu). If you scroll down to "Randall Larson-Maynard" message, you will see he has the same problem. This is what he was told (for a different font type), but just apply it to your font type: [quote] Open Adobe Type Manager, select the Fonts tab, and make sure Times and Helvetica Bold fonts are showing up in the left pane. If they're not, click your way into a PostScript font folder, selecting them, and clicking Add. The locations of these folders depends on your operating system and the versions of your Acrobat components. On my Windows 98 PC, they're in C: \PSFONTS\pfm\, in C:\Acrobat3\Distiller\Fonts\pfm\, and in C: \Acrobat3\Exchange\Fonts\pfm\, If Times and Helvetica Bold are, indeed, already visible in ATM's left pane, visit Distiller > Job Options > Font Embedding, and make sure Subset fonts... is deselected. If this doesn't help, hopefully someone else familiar with this program can assist. :) |
