when you have an older version of Adobe Acrobat Reader than the documents were created in. To properly open and print the files, install Adobe Acrobat Reader v. 4.0, which can be found on your TOPS 2000™ CD, or here.

The page in question states: One or two of these manuals may give font-related errors when viewed. These problems can be solved by downloading the Japanese version of Adobe Acrobat Reader if required, although the errors do not always prevent the files from being used. --------------------------------------- Imposition and booklets for PDF - http://www.veryComputer.com/ Top 1. PDF-file "a font contains a bad cMap/encoding" ? Hi NG, When I export a document with text and image from my Adobe InDesign 1.1 to PDF-file, and then try to open the PDF-file in Acrobat Reader 3, i've got the following error message: "a font contains a bad cMap/encoding" When I open the same file in Acrobat 4, it works fine. I have tried to change the fonts Arial - Times and Danish, English, no-lang
It shares the virtue of Adobe's previous technical triumph, PostScript: platform-independent output, within the color and resolution limits of the output device. And since the specifications are published, one can now both view and create PDF files with software from vendors beside Adobe. But recently many computer users have begun to receive strange error messages when viewing PDF files, such as "Could not find the ColorSpace named 'Cs9'" or "This file contains information not understood by the viewer". This error occurs when users of Acrobat Reader prior to Version 4 attempt to view files created in Acrobat Distiller 4 or 5 in which the options are incorrectly chosen to maintain compatibility with the installed base of Readers. The problem arose due to an oversight in the coding of Acrobat 4.x. Manual intervention may be required to prevent the error. The problem is that the PDF file creators are unaware they are creating offending files because they themselves are immune. This article explains how to avoid creating offending PDF files (if you are sending files to the public who have a large variety of Reader software) or how to view if you are a victim of such an offending file. WHO SUFFERS? Typically the problem occurs when a user of Acrobat Exchange 3.x or Acrobat Reader 3.x or earlier views a file created in Acrobat 4 when the PDF document contains graphical, shading or color elements. Here is an example as seen by the victim. CAUSES After Distiller 4 was released it was discovered that even if you configured it to create a PDF file to the PDF 1.2 specification (i.e., Acrobat 3.x compatibility) but allowed color management features, then the resultant PDF file could contain a colorspace not part of the PDF 1.2 specification. If on the other hand all colors were in standard RGB, CMYK, and K colorspaces as most typically are and the job options were not set to convert colors to managed colorspaces, then the problem did not occur. In fact managed colorspaces are not essential to the presentation of text and seldom for graphics so the error is almost always gratuitous. CREATING INOFFENSIVE PDF FILES WITH ADOBE TOOLS First and simplest, from a word-processing application, use the Adobe PDFWriter utility which is incapable of generating the colorspace error. However PDFWriter cannot be used in the following cases: the file contains EPS artwork or images, complex blends, gradient fills, links or bookmarks; t
