When printing pdf using Acrobat ii, this error message sometime pops up and the print job fail, but when restart the same print job, the message will not appears.

We do check the "rely on system font" option, but what is causing this error.

In general, the Rely on system fonts only is exceptionally problematic. It causes many more problems than it was designed to avoid. Exit Acrobat, go to the Printer Properties for the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance, and disable that option both for Printer Defaults and for Preferences.

(BTW, printing from Acrobat to the Adobe PDF printer is not a recommended practice. Exactly what are you trying to accomplish?)
