At work we use a font called Cambridge as our stanard font for letter heads and the like - but when ever I PDF a document with Cambridge font in it comes out as a mess of symbols.
When I check the font after it's been converted it says it's courier, but the actual letters are just a mess of random letters and symbols - I can then select Cambridge font and change it, but sometimes the spacing between the letters is all messed up.
The Cambridge font is fully installed on my computer, do I need to save it somewhere else to enable it to convert correctly? Other people here do not have the same problem when converting files - also I've tried the on-line help, but had no luck
Thanks in advance.

The only way you can use the Cambridge Font in Acrobat is if it is created in Acrobat. When you are opening other files, in Acrobat, you are changing the "Format" (.doc to .pdf etc.). Basically, althought the application you are using appears to be "cross platform", it isn't. Check your "Fonts" folders and see what is in them. If Acrobat has it's own "Fonts" folder, simply right click on the Cambridge Font file and select "Copy" then "Paste" in the Acrobat "Fonts" folder. That should do the trick.

It's not one of the normal fonts that are installed by default on your computer through Microsoft products. Perhaps its one you downloaded from internet or from CD. As such, not being one of the more popular ones, its not automatically on Adobe's list of fonts. Suggest before you convert documents to PDF you change font to Times New Roman or Arial and you will have no problems.
