Hi Glenn, The embedded fonts used for the Arabic text contains no .notdef character. A .notdef character is recommended for all TrueType fonts. This is subset error produced by Ghostscript (a CMAP cannot work correctly if the .notdef character is absent). Of course, Acrobat 4 or 5 can open the document with no errors, but on my system, Acrobat 6 is unable to extract the font. Gsview is also unable to display the text. There are some differences in the font processing between Acrobat 4, 5 and 6. Acrobat 4 can solve many font problems, Acrobat 6 not. Try to tell your client that Ghostscript is not the right Program to produce PDF files for the Middle Eastern. Acrobat is also available for the Middle Eastern, this should be the right solution. Regards Jens Boschulte www.dynaforms.com -----Original Message----- Hey, I dont know if this is the right forum to ask this question, but I am trying anyway. A client of mine is sending me a PDF file which doesnt show Arabic writing. The original document was written (mostly) in Arabic but somehow in the conversion process, the Arabic writing is left out. The file is at www.folkvord.net/arabic.pdf if it helps to look at it. I have Acrobat 5, the full suite. Can the version I am using vs. the version who created the file have compability issues? I have previously viewed fine a Kurdish PDF by the same client, which also has unusual fonts in it, so I dont think it is that.
