Folks

I'm confronted with a problem. We have a large pdf (roughly 1800 pages) that contains the Foxprint font, from Foxpro. We can't view or print the PDF, which is the only version available of this data. Talk about problems with archiving! The document data reads: Font unknown.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to change the font, get a readable version of the pdf, or even from where we can get a copy of the font that works? Unfortunately the guy who originally compiled the database from which this data was extracted is no longer available. As is Foxpro. At least for our use.

thanks

Have you considered launching Illustrator from the TouchUp Object tool and using those tools to replace the font so that you can view and print it?
