As part of my work, I combine text documents from mixed sources - Microsoft Word and Lotus WordPro - to print to Adobe's PDFWriter to make PDF documents. The last time I ran a batch of such documents, I found that "bullets" created in Microsoft Word became "question marks" in PDF. My solution at the time was to use a picture of a bullet rather than a character symbol. The resulting conversion showed an unclear (aka blur, out-of-focus) bullet on screen, altho the print out looked fine. When I ran the most recent batch of documents, I decided to explore the "bullet" problem once again. This time, it occurred to me to check the font set from which the bullet was taken from. The original bullet, the one which became a question mark, had been taken from the "Symbol" font set. I called up the "LotusWP Type" font set, selected a bullet similar to the original, inserted into its rightful place in the document, printed the document to PDFWriter, opened it in Adobe Acrobat, and viola! a bullet instead of question mark. This may sound trivial, but I'm so pleased I finally solved the problem. |
