Bug Report Template for Adobe (Acrobat Pro)
Subject: PostScript PDF Conversion Fails for Outlook Emails Using Aptos Font in Office 365
Description:
When printing an Outlook email (Office 365) using the “Adobe PDF” printer, the process fails with the following error:vbnetCopyEdit%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% Aptos not found, using Courier. %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%% %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%This results in:
No PDF being produced.
Distiller or the output file staying open or looping.
Users having to manually terminate the Adobe process.
Steps to reproduce:
Open Outlook (Office 365, default font is Aptos).
Print email using “Adobe PDF” printer.
Observe the error in the generated .log file or stuck Distiller window.
Expected result: PDF should be created successfully.
Actual result: PDF fails due to missing Aptos font (not recognized by Distiller/PostScript).
Environment:
Outlook Version: Microsoft 365 / Office 365 (2024–2025)
Adobe Acrobat Pro Version: [Insert version here]
Windows 10/11
Request:
Please update Adobe PDF PostScript printer or Distiller to support Microsoft’s new default Aptos font or provide a recommended workaround (other than Save As PDF).
Reference: This issue appears across multiple users and versions. Save As PDF works fine, indicating the PostScript engine is the root cause.
