Printing problem - superscripts, % symbol

[Bob_Koltrayne@adobeforums.com]

I'm running OSX 10.4.6 and Acrobat 7.0.8. One particular pdf file (2MB and downloaded from a magazine publisher) will not print superscripts or other symbols like the "%" sign on an HP-4650 (firmware up to date, maxed out memory). It WILL print correctly to the 4650 in page groups of 3 or 4 but not when all 12 pages are submitted. It WILL also print correctly (all 12 pages) to a HP-4600 with less memory. It will print correctly if opened with Preview. I've changed print drivers and had Acrobat save it to another filename. Same problem. Any help greatly appreciated.

• might be a problem with the font memory stack in the printers (not
normally that large)

• check the font format - Acrobat/File/Document Properties/Fonts
check the font format (Type 1 / Truetype / CID)
Out of interest - CID format is more complex ..

• print the pages with the fonts being downloaded page-by-page
Print/Advanced/postscript/font policy/

• you can print as image from Acrobat - but this defeats the point -
output is low quality ..
