Yoooo qbners,
I'm running into a problem with a pdf.Its just a simple text document using helvetica. So in Illustrator I convert it all to outlines and save as PDF. (smallest file size)
This way it should print and display fine on any machine regardless of the installed fonts (at least i thought so).
But people are showing me print outs where some letters (not all) are missed. Which to me doesnt make any sense. If it was a font embed issue that displayed no characters at all I could understand, but it isnt a font embed issue as its completely outlined, just shapes in a PDF.
Anyone tell me why its happening?
Thanks all! :)

Sounds like your font...

I've done stuff before and things have shown up on screen but not printed, i think it was white text and there was some setting somewhere that I had to change to make it printable.
Can't remember what it was, sorry.
I'm sure one of the Print Designers around these parts will help

It is a font issue. Try using a different Helvetica, like Helvetica Neu, if available...
- ...or not. I don't know what I'm talking about.Mr_Right

id find out what version of acrobat your client is running too as 9 times out of 10 glitches that happen to the client are usually faults at their end.

ahhh the acorbat version issue sounds very promising!
Thanks everyone! and thanks 23kon + doesnotexist!From now on do you think it would be wise to save in the earliest acrobat version i can?
- for that client yes, otherwise i try to use the newest until shit like this happens.doesnotexist

do NOT outline the type, if it's in a PDF nobody needs them on their machine

- it's a PDF default to embed the fonts, and it's a good thing. Outlining type is bad.monospaced
