| Apr 22 at 16:56 | comment | added | Yelda55 | Thank you for that suggestion. I believe they want the ability to make changes because in their line of work there are always updates and they'd like the ability to make the modifications in the PDF and then disseminate again. I think I will let them know that it is a font rendering problem and out of my hands. | |
| Apr 22 at 16:06 | comment | added | Billy Kerr | Note however, if it were my client, I'd generally advise against this workflow - because there is always a chance they could mess it up by accidentally overwriting the editable file. Then you'd probably end up having to recreate the editable file for them with all the changes they previously made. Only you and your client can decide if that's a risk worth taking. | |
| Apr 22 at 15:43 | comment | added | Billy Kerr | That means it's definitely a font rendering problem. Is your client using Adobe Acrobat? If so, then one possible work around would be to send them the PDF which they can edit. Then, once they have made the edits, save the changes, but then they (or you) could convert the type to outlines and save a separate copy for publication purposes only. Obviously, making sure to keep the editable PDF for future edits, and a separate outlined PDF for publication. | |
| Apr 22 at 13:58 | comment | added | Yelda55 | Ok, thank you for the input, I'll let my client know. | |
| Apr 22 at 13:45 | comment | added | user183813 | If it goes away when zooming in, then it's an on-screen rendering problem. AFAIK, there's not much you can do about it. | |
| Apr 22 at 11:56 | comment | added | Yelda55 | Yes, it goes away when zoomed in at about 200%. Converting to outlines does solve the problem but my client wants to be able to make small edits to the copy when they want and I can't send them outlined PDFs. Many people will be viewing the file, it is impossible to know exactly what PDF viewer they will be using, but it is certain that many will be using Acrobat. I have been communicating with Monotype, Apple and Adobe about this for over a week now and they are all pointing at each other or offering up workarounds that are not viable. | |

| Apr 22 at 11:36 | comment | added | Billy Kerr | This looks like an on-screen font rendering problem/bug. Does it go away when zooming in or out? Are you and your client using Adobe Acrobat/Reader to view the file? What happens if you convert the font to outlines? I'm not sure a fix is really possible or even if installing another version of the font would work. Too many unknowns here. | |
