| 1435784 | 2017-05-28 09:37:00 | compatibility problem maybe, document creator not knowing what their are doing more likely.I think that is highly likely. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1435785 | 2017-05-28 09:38:00 | Here is the pdf I made in Scribus opened in Firefox: 8084 My sample looked OK in Firefox as well. |

| 1435786 | 2017-05-28 09:51:00 | It's not a Windows/Apple incompatibility. I just created a Scribus doc using all the default settings, saved it as PDF, then looked at it in Acrobat9 and got the really bad rendering. The font was Arial Regular. Changed it to Times new Roman and got the same result. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1435787 | 2017-05-28 09:53:00 | Those two links look really interesting and useful, but I suspect sending them to the creator will have no effect. She has totally ignored any offers of help so far. I think I need to actually find a solution and present it. | Tony (4941) | ||

| 1435790 | 2017-05-29 02:16:00 | I've looked at those links Plod and they were very illuminating. I've done some trials, and certainly if the fonts in the Scribus document are not embedded there are problems. I would be most surprised if the newsletter creator has any clue about any of those issues. I had a response from the Scribus forum which pointed out pretty much the same things. I also had a look at one of the problem newsletters and this is the fonts tab of the document properties: 8088 Sort of says it all doesn't it? I now have to construct an email that (a) explains to the editor that there is an issue (which I expect her to probably deny) and (b) describes what she has to do to fix it. I'll post back with any results, but in the meantime, thanks everyone for all the help. |

| 1435791 | 2017-05-29 02:26:00 | Tony, why not try Sumatra pdf, here is a link to a portable version which should eliminate Acrobat as being the problem if Sumatra renders faultily as well: portableapps.com |

I don't think Acrobat is the issue. |
