I recently bought Adobe Distiller. I was previously using PStill or
the MacOS built in PDF support.
Surprisingly I have never ever had as many PDF problems before as I am
now having with Adobe Distilled files. The main problem is random
missing characters from the Maestro font (they are replaced by a
rectangle character), but only when printing (on a non-postscript
printer). The problems do not show on screen.
Does anyone know where the problem is, and what can be done about it?
I have gone back to PStill for the moment, but I would at least like
to know where the problem lies.
I don't, and never have used distiller, but I wonder if this is a font
issue? I seem to recall that with some Adobe products (thought not which
ones), when embedding a font, if only a certain percentage of the font
was used, only the characters used were embedded, but if more than that
percentage of characters in the font was used, the entire font was
embedded. This might explain why some character print and other do
not. Another explanation might be related to the memory in the printer:
maybe there is not enough memory to contain the font. You don't specify
the brand, model, and driver and other particulars relevant to the
non-postscript printer. Have you used different non-postscript
printers? Are same characters omitted every time? And since you
purchased the distiller, I'd be curious to know what Adobe Tech support
says about the issue.
