I have been searching through the Internet and different newsgroups trying to find a solution to my problem. I've only been able to find a few other people who have the same problem but no one has answered their question. I'm a little surprised that so few people have had this problem. It started several months ago, it seems after some updates or something, every PDF file I try to open I would get error cannot find or create font such and such even though I had the font on my computer. Due to Windows instability, I had to format and reinstall it about a month ago. I installed the Adobe reader seven and it worked fine. I was so happy. Now last week it started over again. I can't open any Acrobat file, well the file opens but the pages are blank except for pictures. I get the same error and yes I do have the fonts on my computer. I had installed several hundred fonts from a package to my system a couple weeks ago. Is it possible the built-in fonts were overridden and Acrobat does not recognize them. I have a feeling it is these fonts that caused the problem, but other than formatting again reinstalling Windows which I really hate to do, I don't know what else to do I have tried to uninstall and reinstall acrobat couple a times. I have searched through the registry and tried to find any reference to Acrobat reader and remove them by hand. I didn't find any. I'm about ready to give up on it, but of course so many things use PDF files I can't give up on the PDF files. Worse comes to worse, I can always send the files over to my Linux machine and read them there. It is just a little inconvenient. Thanks for any help anyone can provide
