I am trying to create a pdf from ms publisher.
MY os is xp pro. I have 8.2.3 standard adobe. MS publisher 2003 sp3

When I go to create this file it gets to 60% then crashes. no pop error only the following log error content.
I have tried just deleting page 6 to see if it is a font related issue that I get a similiar log file but "page 5" seems to be the issue.

Any suggestions anyone?

Typical reasons for such an error -

--| the font has license restirctions & cannot be embedded in a PDF
--| the font is not on the local system

You might consider making a testing copy of the master MS Publisher file.
Change all fonts to something generic (like MS Arial) & try to output a PDF.Be well...

Be well...

After researching this error more.
I went back to MS pub under Tools and commerical printing tools then fonts to see if there was a lic restriction.
All fonts in doc are "may embed" which means they all have lic.

So I am back to square one why my adobe standard 8.2 is not converting this MS pub doc any longer.
Does anyone know if adobe distiller has common errors on conversion?

I'd thought "F9F3C" might be a color.
Cannot find it - either looking in the wrong places or it is not such a thing.

Perhaps part of the MS Publisher content is repurposed form something else?
Or something from WordArt?
Remember, font sets contain more than just the characters associated with the language.
Check for symbols as well. Often, applications (MS apps as well as others) will permit use of a symbol that pulls from a reserved character number.
So, a check for these ad well may be useful.
(For example, those "look right" fractions for "1/2", "1/4", etc. that MS apps like to use.)
