Does anyone have a similer problem as this? I am using a G3 with 1 GB of memory. When I first installed InDesign CS fonts embedded fine, but since the System upgrade to 10.3.3, and InDesign's upgrade to 3.0.1, random postscript fonts will not embed in the PDF. There will be no warning that there was a problem. The file will open on my machine, but when it gets to the newspaper, occasionally fonts will not be embedded and will have defaulted when printing. Here's another bizzare issue: As a work around, I drag the PDF into Illustrator CS to create outlines. When doing this, the stroke weight in the Illustrator file that was placed in InDesign increases to a much greater amount. Big, bloated, ugly strokes. Sometimes when attempting this, a greyscale photo will reverse out to a negative of the image. It is suspected that PDFs exported from InDesign CS are not Illustrator compatable. I am now using OSX 10.3.4. Has this upgrade fixed the problem?
