Bad PDF; could not read page structure. <Bad

[Erin_Cunia@adobeforums.com]

I created a "form" in MS Word using a table with blanks for where the fill-in fields are supposed to go. I converted the file to PDF, and then I tried to use the PDF Forms maker with the automatic field detection feature (Acrobat 8 Pro) but I keep getting the error "Bad PDF; could not read page structure. <Bad PDF; error in processing fonts: unsupported Type2 font> [1]" What could be causing this? Is there something I need to do in Word to make the field recognition work? The field recognition has worked with other PDFs that I have not created in Word. I'd rather not have to create each individual field myself, if I don't need to. I thought this was a great feature when I have used it on other PDFs, but I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong on forms I am creating myself in Word.

I am using a MacBook with Leopard, all updates installed, Office:MAC 2008 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.

Thank you in advance!

How did you create the pdf file?

I created the MS Word file and the "printed" it to PDF.

When you printed to PDF did you use the Adobe PDF printer or the PDF
button on the bottom of the print dialog box?

I use the PDF button at the bottom left of the print box.

You used the Apple PDF function. Try printing to the PDF printer and see if that works.

I got where you were going with this, so I printed with the Adobe 8.0 printer and then I was able to use the auto field detection. THANKS!!
