This requires changing one of the driver options for Adobe PDF.

Go to the driver properties and then to Advanced=>Printing Defaults=>Adobe PDF Settings.

The standard options include one labeled “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts.” Uncheck that option, apply the changes, and press OK to go back all the way to the initial driver properties screen and press OK.

Restart the application and try again.

Let us know if this resolves the problem.

I just tried this and it did not change.  Below is what I have.

I tried the suggested before searching, and it does not work. Using Adobe Acrobat X Pro on windows 10 64. Worked before last update I believe.
