Science symbols in Acrobat 5.0.1

[John_Moorhead@adobeforums.com]

I have Windows XP2002 and AA 5.0.1. Using Distiller, I cannot print Greek symbols (eg for alpha, gamma, etc) from Word into pdf. Instead I get a large amount of 'garbage' with a request to encode.

I do not know how to get round this, and it is important because some science journals will only accept pdf. Thanks for any suggestions.

Update to Acrobat 5.0.5 which is required for both Windows XP and also Office XP. I am not saying that it will fix the problem but it the first thing you should do.

Sorry, I was confused, I already updated to AA5.0.5. I cannot find a way round the problem.
