Pdf exported from InDesign

[candi_becker@adobeforums.com]

Have files created in InDesign CS2. When I use the "export to pdf" feature, they fonts are competely messed up in the pdf. The document uses a Postscript font that was created for the client (created in 2001).

I have had to print as PDF from the print dialog box, but it is trial and error to get the page size and orientation to come out correct. Even if I have my settings for spreads and page size of 13 x 19, I end up with letter size pages that are cut off randomly.

Try to embed the entire font (instead of a subset) by setting the value in the advanced panel to 0%
If that fails InDesign and or Acrobat probably regard your font as damaged and you could try the way via Distiller.

Thanks that worked!

I had tried the route of distilling a postscript file. They fonts came out fine, but the page set up was always wrong--even though it looked fine in the preview and in theory was set up correctly.

You have just saved me hours of pain!
