"Cannot extract the embedded font" Some characters may not display or print correctly.

this message keeps coming up: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'GLJYQU+News-Gothic-BTS-Bold'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." I have reinstalled the fonts and still bet this message. I use Acrobat to send X1A files all the time to printers and am tired of constantly having to outline all my fonts to send my files and it makes the files uneditable in case of a client last minute change on press. And sometimes even when I outline all the fonts I still see this warning. Any ideas?

Hi annetteS,

 

As per the issue description mentioned above, you are getting above mentioned error when opening files in acrobat, is that correct?

 

This is an indication of corrupt embedded font in the PDF file. Refer to the following forum threads discussing the similar issue:

Cannot extract the embedded font...

Cannot extract the embedded font error

 

Thanks,

Shivam

I am also having this issue. Verion 18.4.0 on a Macbook Pro. I get the error "Cannot extract the embedded font 'STYUAM+Tahoma-Bold'. Some characters may not display or print correctly". Unfortunately, this file has HIPAA protected information, so I can't send it to someone. But here is a snapshot of what my preflight looks like. Screen Shot 2020-03-01 at 9.55.25 AM.png
