Save as PDF

[jonathan wilkinson]

hi i have a projector that I want the user to interact with (move sprite
around, add text in fields etc) then do a save as to protect the original
file. Preferably as a pdf so they can print. Any ideas???? cheers j

Go to [url]http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/director/digest/index.html[/url]

And search the Direct-L digest in the month of November for a message called
"PDF CLASS" - someone has written some scripts for exporting PDFs with
Lingo.

When I save my Illustrator file as a PDF, the fonts are converting to helvetica or something generic, has lost all formatting and the letters look like they are spaced incorrectly. I have checked "include document fonts", but what else could be causing this?

What version and OS?

It sounds like the font is not actually open.

Also, you mean you "embed all fonts," correct?

[Kim_Lucich@adobeforums.com]

Illustrator 10, OS 9.1 and yes "embed all fonts". Using Suitcase 10 with auto activation too.

Which font? Some fonts only have screen versions and don't have printer versions to embed.

The font may also be corrupt: check for corrupt fonts in Suitcase.

Can you try making the pdf through Distiller (rather than AI's Save As) to see if it gives you an error message?
