Among everything that apeeasrs in my itext inbox, I competely missed
this reply.
As a later email states, this is exactly the problem I am having.
Someone else has suggested that Print As Image prints correctly each
time. It's not a great solution but it is one. I havne't been able to
confirm it myself.
Like you said, it's anot repeatable, the exact same PDF will print
without a problem the next time around.
I only found out a couple of weeks ago about the rot1 thing when i
client actually sent me the printout of the PDF, and then it clicked.
Any solutions??

Steve,
What you described sounds like a problem I am tracking also. For me it
isn't really 'random' text. It too one of our support people a while
to find out it is really Rot1'd.
See the iText email:
[iText-questions] Re: PDF printing from Reader is randomly ROT1'ing
the printed page(s)
And specifically:
Re: [iText-questions] Problems with text added to PDF when opened from
Adobe Reade 7.0
Do you see: BJSQMBOF instead of AIRPLANE? [Rot1 (like the old
ROT13)... thus all text is shifted up by one ASCII character, also a
space would become a '!'] [If you don't see Rot1, is it possible you
have another rotation?]
Is it only when printing or on the screen?
If it is when printing, from inside the same Reader 7.0, if you
reprint it is fine? [Worst case requiring up to 2 reprints, then fine?]
I don't have a repeatable case yet. I have had multiple customer
reports though. In my case it only occurs when printing to printers
that use Postscript in the Microsoft print driver. I don't have an
answer yet though. I need a more repeatable testcase.
I met a person from Adobe, who is thinking it might be a Postscript
driver issue in 7.0. I don't have a solid repeatable testcase but if
we could get one I know who to contact.
Ping me if this matches what you see.

Hi there,
I am not sure if this is an Acrobat or Itext issue.
I have read a feew people have had this problem and not many replies
have come in.
Basically I have a system that creates PDF's that the user can choose
to print if they want.
Usually everything runs smoothly, the PDF's diplay properly and print
properly.
randomnly, it seems, a PDF will display properly but print with junk
characters. So it doesn't come out correctly.
Now I create and close the documents correctly before makig them
available for download through my servlet. I do not embed any fonts
and would like to avoid it as Arial is ~300KB in size. I don't really
get the embed font thing, so correct me if my size estimation is
wrong, I was going with the size of the Arial TTF file.
As I now all the end users are using windows, I figured Arial was
common enough to not have to embed.
All of the users are opening the acrobat file from Outlook Express. I
am not sure if that has an effect. So they open an attachment from
the email, and that then opens Acrobat.
The only reason I mention that is that somebody else metione dthat
they thought it was only happening whn coming out of Outlook Express,
but still only happening randomly. If anyone can confirm that it
would be appreciated.
HAs anyone else had this problem, anyone found a solution???
Regards
Steve
