Received a PDF from a client and when I open the thumbnail view I get a CIDFont+F1 contains bad/widths error. When I print it looks terrible. If I select those pages with the issue and export extract those out the exported extracted looks perfect and has no errors. This is all done on the same PC. Any suggestions on how to stop getting the CIDFont error or an explanation as to why the export extracting may have worked?

Sorry I intended to say that I had extracted the pages from the original file and the file created by the extraction was good. I did not export the pages.

Look at the fonts list in the original and the extracted PDF. (File->Properties or CTRL-D --> fonts tab)
What are the differences? Post the 2 dialogue boxes as screenshots.

That is an exporting problem. I mean some software or online programs when they export the PDFs they cant decode the font.
That is why you are getting that problem.
The font CIDFont+F1 is Arial (blod) and CIDFont+F2 is Arial (Regular)
