Print to PDF - Aptos

[Mizrebecky]

Now that Microsoft is using the new Aptos Font everywhere, how do we print to PDF?  Everytime i try i get a error message that ends " %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%"  Other than highlighting the document and changing the font, i can no longer print to PDF.  This is an issue as I print to PDF many times over a day to conform to our business process.    Will this be fixed soon?

1 upvote is an egregious oversight (now two).  Your solution is the only one that worked and was a simple and straight forward, elementary level download and install.  Thanks for coming back to an infuriating and enduring subject with the actual solution.

It seems the new Aptos font is causing issues when printing to PDF. This could be a compatibility problem with the PDF printer you're using. Try updating your PDF software or using a different virtual printer like Microsoft Print to PDF. You can also temporarily switch to a more widely supported font until a fix is released. Hopefully, Microsoft will address this issue in an update soon

Just use the "Microsoft Print to PDF" option that works easy peasy.  Good old MS did something ages ago while Adobe sat on their hands clipping the ticket.

I have this issue specifically when using Microsoft Print to PDF. Has anyone encountered this variant and have a fix?

"Will this be fixed soon?" posted on Feb 01, 2024.  Obviously not, probably due to incompetent programmers at Adobe.  Today is Sep 15, 2025.

Permanent solution found - at least util Adobe updates again and screws it up:

Open Printers & Scanners in Windows Settings.

Open Printing Preferences for the Adobe PDF printer.

Click on the Adobe PDF Settings tab.

Uncheck the box "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts.

This seems to be sticky so you don't have to remember to do it it every time you print to pdf from an email.

Thank you Kelly, you beat me to it.  I was about to post same when I came across your Sept 15, 2025 post.  So far it has continued to work.  And, I think I don't have to be concerned about Adobe updates because I am running Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed on my desktop (not cloud based), purchased around 2011, and not getting any updates for several years!
