I am using Acrobat Professional 6.0. I have created PDFs from Microsoft Word 2003 without any problems. Then, I annotate the PDF using a variety of tools, including text boxes, highlighting etc. In order to fix all the annotations and turn them into a document which cannot be changed, what I have always done in the past is send the file to Distiller and print it as a new PDF file. I have never had difficulty doing this in the past. However, now it won't work and I can't work out why. The error message from the Distiller log seems to suggest that there are problems with the fonts, but I can't see why this should be the case, as I am just using the default fonts in the various Tools.
You may say that I should just password protect the document to prevent changes, but there are free tools available on the web which strip password protection out of Adobe Acrobat files (I've tried one and it works without any difficulty).
The only way I have found to make the comments etc an integral part of the file is to print to a new PDF file, and now it won't work. (If there is a better way to do this, please let me know - I am very much a beginner!!!)
I would really appreciate some help with this, as my deadline to send these documents off is only a day away.
I am using Windows XP Home SP2. Acrobat Pro 6.0.
