This problem is not isolated to Helvetica, however. Under certain conditions Acrobat 4 generally allowed merge of documents that in fact couldn't be merged because of clashing font names for subsetted fonts, and Acrobat 4.0 didn't always handle that situation as it should. With Acrobat 5 the risk of getting such bogus documents were considerably reduced, since error handling in most cases effectively prevented users from merging such documents at all. With Acrobat 6 this risk has been even further reduced, perhaps eliminated. At least, I haven't seen it with documents created with Acrobat 6 yet :-) All the best Jacob Sch�ffer Grafikhuset www.grafikhuset.net/international To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
