I'm using Distiller 5.05 in Windows 2000. I have 3100+ fonts activated in ATM. (I know, but it's required for some propriatary software that we use.) I'm trying to create a PDF file from a 57 page Word file using PDF Maker or print to Distiller. (Both yield incorrect results.) When the PDF is created, lots of the type drops out on multiple pages throughout the document. 

If I print to file, the PostScript appears to be trying to use Type 3 fonts where the text is dropped. 

If I deactivate the 3100+ fonts and re-activate, the PDF is created correctly. (Also, the Type 3 fonts in the PostScript are gone--replaced with Type 1.) However, after restarting the PC two times, the dropped type problem comes back. (The first time I restart everything still works correctly.) 

Deactivating and re-activating all fonts again fixes it until the next 2 restarts. 

This seems like some type of font caching problem. Any ideas? 

Thanks.
