I am trying to read a few PDF documents with Acrobad and I get this error message of a missing font, and that the document may not display properly. I see asterics where the text with the wacky font should be and I need a way to trick Acrobat reader or writer(I have both) to display the text in ANY font. I can read 99% of the PDF file which happens to be a technical manual but this one particular font shows up as asteriks. The attached zip is a screenshot of the error I get in Acrobat..
## Deliverables
I want the winner to show me how to read this font WITHOUT BUYING ANY ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE. I've tried lots of PDF readers and editors and converters even in Unix and it doesnt work. If you cant do that then I can give you an url where the PDF files are located...and you can extract the text yourself for me...but I prefer the former method because there are 3 or 4 PDF docs. If you can whip up some code or already have a part of code or a utility lying around that can do this...well that would work too but my hunch is there is just a quick way of trickin Windows into thinking it has this annoying font and getting it to display in some other font so I can at least read what was written. For the person who knows what they are doing this is less than a 30 minute job. I am looking for a simple and super quick solution such as font substitution, not a solution that makes it ten times more complicated than it has to be. The url to one of the PDFs is: [login to view URL] Go to page 162(SOFTLOAD) and you will get the error. I just need to read the text thats all. If you cannot solve this problem quickly then please dont bid hundreds of dollars based on hours and hours of painstaiking research and tedius trial and error.
