Hi,

I’ve been having this weird problem with illustrator where when I open the pdf created with word, the text just displays as garbage, i.e. ()#@(*%)(*$#)($. Now I know that this could be a font issue, but I have the fonts used installed on my system. Calabri and Corbel. It still loads as junk. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Hi,
When converting Word doc PDF’s to PDFx1a’s the text is screening/graying out to be about 96-84% black…any thoughts. The x1a compliance checks out okay: all fonts are embeded, does not generate more than one plate…and so on. But its puzzling to me that after I recieve a PDF generated from a Word file and convert it to an x1a the text gets lighter or gray rather than 100% black.
Thanks for your time,
Tara
