I am seeing lots of little circles instead of a Font - what do I do?

Hi SSCSteven,

You have Acrobat Reader that can read PDFs. But it cannot make up for errors in someone else's PDF creator's mistakes or errors.

As such, my guess is that you did not create the PDF.

My other guess is that the software to create this did not build or insert a font view into the PDF.

My last guess is that this was created with a font that you do not have in your system and those circles are indicating that SOMETHING is there but the PDF doesn't know what and since you do not have that font, that's what it's showing.

My only suggestion is to contact the person(s) who made that document and ask them what font was used and see if someone in your company has a computer with that font in it. (Than viewing this document on that computer should work.)

Alternatively see what common fonts you have in your computer, contact the person(s) who made that document, ask them to replace the font they used with the font you have. (They may have to reformat the document to accommodate this different font so they may not be all that keen on doing that.)

Lastly, suggest to the people who created this document to get Acrobat Pro (or a different 3rd party PDF creator) can properly insert the used font into the document.

Good luck, let us know what happens
