steve worcester 0 Posted May 15, 2011 I had some PDFs sent to me to vectorize but when I open them it gives me a font missing error and some odd cryptic font as it's replacement. I tried a place instead of open, but the results were less than successful Do you just find the font and add it, or what do I do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted May 15, 2011 Sound like who ever made the pdf did not embed and/or convert the fonts properly.....Best to ask them to save the file the right way.....Also, was it actually an AI file?....If it was from another program, you can sometimes get unpredictable results.....

mark-s 1,126 Posted May 15, 2011 Ask who ever sent you the file to convert the fonts to outlines. Big mistake happens all the time. mark-s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tekcorps 50 Posted May 17, 2011 Does it tell you what font is missing? If so install the font and reopen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve worcester 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Post the PDF mark-s I can't post it for copyright reasons. So far, from another post, got one of them in and was able to merge the clipping paths so it is good. The other, an image with text, the image is too low res and comes out real blocky. The third has some issues I can fix in deleting anchor points and moving others around. Thanks for the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted May 18, 2011 What program was the original artwork made in?....Any conversion of fonts is done in that program when saving as a pdf.....So who ever made the art has to embed and/or convert the fonts..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve worcester 0 Posted May 20, 2011 I had them embed the fonts and then went to to fix their crappy 75 DPI clip art. Rebuilt some of it and got the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
