Hi. 

I am attemtping to create a PDF from FM 6.0 using Acrobat 3.02 (old version, I know, but it's necessary for the project I'm working on). My OS is Windows NT. 

When I print the FM book to the Acrobat Distiller, I get the following message: 

"AdobeSerifMM not found, using Courier. %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%% 

Stack: /Font /Courier /courier 

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%" 

I have no idea why I am getting this message, since I have not removed any fonts from my PC. 

When I check the status of the AdobeSerifMM font in Adobe Type Manager, I get a message that says "Cannot show sample for AdobeSerMM. Font files may be missing." I get the same message on another PC that supposedly has this font. The Courier fonts appear to be fine, since I can view samples of them in ATM. 

I have also tried to create the PDF with and without cheking the "Remember Missing Font Names" box. 

Does anyone have an idea on how I can fix this? 

Thanks, Jim
