Adobe Converter from Outlook - conversion error from micrograms to milligrams

Hi everyone

Does anyone have a solution to this problem when using the adobe converter in outlook to convert emails to PDF it automatically converts the micrograms to milligrams? For example:

It converted 300 μg/mL to 300mg/mL.

I have the latest acrobat reader installed as well

Thanks!

    Hello @athletic_passion4d90

    I hope you are doing well, and thanks for flagging this. That's an unusual one. I appreciate the specific example.

    To help narrow this down, could you confirm:

    • What version of Acrobat (not just Reader) is installed alongside Outlook? Converting emails to PDF from the Outlook ribbon needs the full Acrobat PDFMaker add-in; Reader alone can't do that conversion.

    • Is the µg character typed as the micro sign or the Greek letter mu? They look identical but are different characters, and Acrobat has known quirks in how it handles them differently during PDF creation.

    • Does the same substitution happen if you convert that same text a different way, for example, printing the email to the Adobe PDF printer instead of using "Convert to Adobe PDF" in the ribbon?

    • Does this happen with every email containing µg, or only this one?

    That will help us confirm whether this is a font or encoding issue tied to the conversion process, or something specific to this message.

    We're here to help, just need a bit more info.

    Regards,
