CIDFont+F1 issue

New Here ,
Mar 20, 2018 Mar 20, 2018

I have received a PDF file as an attachment to an email and can open and view and print it from within the email but when I save the file to my computer and then try to open the file I get an error message saying that CIDFont+F1 cannot be created or found.  The file opens but the text is just displayed as a series of dots.

I have confirmed that I am using the most current version of Adobe Reader.

Any advice on what the problem might be and how to resolve would be appreciated.

ES - No me ha funcionado abrir en Vista Previa, la opción "Exportar a PDF" se queda en gris, y no he tenido forma para que se active, he cambiado permisos del documento...en fin, todo lo que se hacer, no he podido.

 

EN - It has not worked for me to open in Preview, the option "Export to PDF" is grayed out, and I have not had a way to activate it, I have changed document permissions... In short, everything that was done, I could not. (automatic translation)

Hi @jonl85764956,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

Would you mind elaborating more on "live type?" 

Are you trying to edit a document immediately after editing it through Preview?

 

Giving more information on the workflow you are trying to work with will help us understand your query and assist you better.

 

Look forward to hearing from you.


Regards,
Souvik.

Greetings. My language might be dated. I'm referring to text that I can use my Type tool to edit. Preview rasterizes the PDF and, from what I can see, gives no vector option to >Preserve Text Editability. My question is: does anybody know how to maintain the vector type editability when converting to Preview?
Thanx. Enjoy a splendid day.

Hi @jonl85764956,

 

Thanks for writing back! 

 

Please feel free to respond to us in the language you are comfortable with. The translation feature is available on the community forums.

 

That being said, I am still trying to figure out if this is related to Acrobat.

 

To help us understand better, can you please share a screen recording of what you are trying to achieve? This will enable us to share concrete troubleshooting steps.


Regards,
Souvik.
