Words and letters missing after exiting and reopening document

Community Beginner ,
Jan 05, 2021 Jan 05, 2021

Over the past few days, my pdf's are missing letters and words after saving, closing, and reopening. The first time this happened was when I duplicated a page in the document. Ever since then, when I open files with "Open Sans" embedded font, the words and letters are randomly missing and it doesn't happen with all Open Sans text boxes. My only recourse has been to select the text box, change the font to another font, and switch back to the original font.

 

Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue permanently?

Hi @sean_8113,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the experience! 

 

We would definitely like to give it a good look and work towards a permanent fix.

 

Meanwhile, would you mind sharing a few pieces of information:

1. Do you see this with every file you work with, or specific file;

2. Is the issue restricted to MS fonts or all fonts;

3. Would you mind sharing a sample file with me over private messages? [To do so, click on my profile name followed by the blue "Send Message" button on the next page]

4. If possible, a screen recording describing what and how you see this would be even better.

 

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hey mate. You just made my day. I was hopelessly trying to resolve this with the Adobe helpdesk (the person called Mohd just disconnected from the chat in the end). Thanks for sharing the obvious tip.

Try embedding the fonts or converting the fonts to outlines via Preflight and check.
