The problem is most probably not with displaying the PDF on the Mac. But you might be able to figure it out and help everyone in the class. Maybe he's afraid students will think he's generally stupid. Maybe the prof feels threatened or confused in an area outside his expertise. Since you are in a college or university, there are probably some experts around who could help you. If the professor is "already not very good with computers" you might want to use psychology. Sometimes there are legitimate reasons why professors resist change.

I just googled and saw that there are a number of hits for tutorials for doing this process.īy the way, as a former professor, I feel that students who don't "try and get them to change their ways" are not doing me or the other students a favor.

Third, if this is a book project and you are uncomfortable with free software, you should try using a combination of Adobe Acrobat (not the free Adobe Reader) and Adobe Distiller to convert the document from pdf to ps, put the desired fonts in place, and convert the document back to pdf. Depending on the circumstances, the options to the commands mentioned above may be modified to match fonts precisely. In this case, you must either learn more about fonts or purchase non-free software. If the image in the above picture is going to be part of a book, you may need the fonts to match. This will effectively replace the non-embedded fonts in badfile.pdf with their nearest Postscript core font equivalents. Pstopdf -o goodfile.pdf intermediatefile.ps Having done that, I would solve this problem by typing the following two lines in the terminal: pdftops badfile.pdf intermediatefile.ps I use a package installer called macports to make it easier for me. There are projects to make it easier on Mac.

The problem with this solution is that many people don't want to use open source or feel uncomfortable with it.

I prefer open source software so, when I receive a file like this, I use the free, open source ps / pdf tools you can get with Xpdf. Second, if you don't want to go to the document creator, you can apply one of several software solutions. The creator could possibly use that font throughout. In the displayed example, there is a correctly rendered font in the lower left hand corner. I can think of at least three ways.įirst, if the creator wants to embed fonts, they may be able to and they may be able to choose similar fonts with different licenses if that is the source of the problem. Third, it is naive to claim that Preview is at fault because it can't find a font when you have not told it where to find the font.

It's not even fair to consider the lack of font embedding as an error since you could quite possibly install the fonts, depending on the license, in a place where Preview can see them. Second, you say that this document was created by someone "already not very good with computers." It would be ridiculous to tell such a person to correctly embed fonts. "Correctly" embedding the font won't get to the root of the problem either. There is a lot going on behind the scenes.

For instance, Adobe may license fonts to make the process more transparent to the end user but Apple may not have the same license for Preview. Other companies know about this, and they may try to compensate. Presumably they do not want people to be successful using non-Microsoft products (at least, that's what the documents in their antitrust case indicated), so they make it as painful as possible to transfer documents from Windows to Mac. This is an especially favorite trick of Microsoft products. It is unlikely, for instance, that telling the document creator that what they did was faulty will really get you anywhere.įirst, it's likely that they did not embed fonts, yes, but there are many fonts that carry flags telling apps NOT to embed them. I suggest that you completely disregard all of them. It looks like all the previous answers to this question are completely uninformed.
