Adobe's posting at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=329137. It was not available at the time I posted this solution. It does not mention Windows Vista or Windows 7, but their Windows XP solution should work equally well for these newer http://www.riggsca.com/error_1406.htm operating systems. This Adobe solution is similar to mine. I do have confidence in my solution, however, as do others, judging from the following recent comment.

As noted on the Jan 17, 2008 entry below, for the seven months after error 1406 posting this solution in Jun 2007, I received about 32 hits per day. The hit rate has diminished but it is not moving asymptotically to zero, as one might hope. Here is a graph of the hit rate over the past year. Note the spike around Christmas-time. Added Aug 12, 2008 Here is another potential solution to the Error 1406 problem, supplied by Bob on Jul 5, 2008: "I have stumbled on another error 1406 office solution which may be easier. I was starting to try your solution after my CS3 install of Acrobat 8 failed, but I needed a standalone install file for Acrobat 8. But I only found a trial for Acrobat 9 on the Adobe web site. So I loaded that instead and DID NOT get the error messages; Adobe may have fixed the problem in version 9. So I then just uninstalled the version 9 trial and tried my CS3 install of Acrobat 8 and it worked!" Deconstructing Bob's solution, you might attempt the following: Go to the page on Adobe's Web site that enables you to download a free 30-day trial version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat%5Fpro&loc=en. Click on the Create an Adobe account button and create an account. To do so is a pain—but consider what you stand to gain. I had created an Adobe account several years ago; when I logged on under that account today, Adobe sent me a link to the trial version via email. When you receive the email, click on the link and download and install the trial version. After installation, which hopefully will proceed without a hitch, uninstall it by going to start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs (Windows XP) or start -> Control Panel -> Prog
