Determining Font Packs that are installed

[Maurice_Leake@adobeforums.com]

I have Acrobat 7 Standard (with 7.0.8 update installed) running under Mac OS X 10.4.8. I have document with Hungarian characters, and not all characeters are displaying correctly. I am verifying this by comparing again Adobe Reader 7 running under Windows. The Windows version displays (and prints) all of the characters correctly.

Is there a way to check which font packs are installed under Acrobat Standard?

If you have both Reader and Standard installed on the same machine, do they share the fonts?

Thanks!

The only font packs for Acrobat are for far eastern fonts.

This is still confusing though...I can see all the characters when the document is opened using Acrobat Reader on Windows, but they aren't all displayed correctly on the Mac, and I have viewed it with Reader, Acrobat Standard and Apple Preview. Shouldn't the document be displayed the same way on either platform? What could be the cause of the difference?

Maybe it is a non-embedded font, but is installed locally on Windows.

Since brings up a similar problem I have with one PDF I have on our website.

Maybe this can be answered here I think I posted about it group but so far I haven heard a peep

I have this one PDF on our Website everyone can see

<http://www.vpea.org/reporter/vea1206web.pdf>

because I use Seamonkey and Firefox instead of Safari I use a PDF Plugin from the fellow from Germany. On my Desktop Machine some of the print is gibberish some of it appears. Both in FF and SM. Using Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Pro 7.0.9. looks fine. (OSX.3.9)

Now here's the rub: on my 17" Laptop with 10.4.8 installed and Acrobat 8 Pro works, and the same Identical Plugin in the same indentical version of FF and SM works fine.

The pdf did work fine on the Desktop machine, but then the originating author add some more items to it making it larger in file size. Also about that Time I was unaware that Acro 8 would not work on OSX.3.9 and I had attempted to install 8 pro on my Desktop Machine. It went through a partial install.

I'm wondering if the 8 partial install over wrote some files needed.

Phil what exactly is the issue with your file? Is it a printing issue only?

[pjonesCET@adobeforums.com]

Its a printing and a Viewing Issue.

If you have some where I can Upload a Jpeg image of what I see and then yo can, go to the link above and actually view. you might can tell me what I need to do.

Does it look okay to you when viewing the pdf outside the browser?

You can use photobucket.com for uploading images.

Okay It up listed as BadPDFDisplay

Yes looks fine in Acrobat or Reader 7.0.9

Looks fine with Browser on PowerBook 17" using OSX.4.8 and also in Acro Pro as well.

Ah, but the plug-in isn't running identically. It's important to
realise that the plug-in doesn't display PDF files itself, and it
doesn't use Adobe Reader to do it either. It uses the same technology
as Preview, stuff build in to Mac OS X.

Preview is not the same in Mac OS 10.4.8 and 10.3.9. You might compare
what happens if you open the PDF file directly in Preview.

I'll be darned!

Preview and Graphics Converter neither view it correctly?

Why don't Adobe support Mozilla Products now! They use to in OS9 . They decide not to in OSX.

I wouldn't have this problem if adobe would.

What's the problem?
