Let me add "Me too!" to this thread. I have problems with some reference materials, in particular, some mathematical formulas. The original e-book has some embedded fonts, obviously, for things like function symbols, congruency and so on. For the most part, the books process for a very large number of pages before getting this error.

What seems to be the problem in these cases is having a character that spans 2 lines of text. I can't replicate it here because of the limit of having a character appear on a single line. But where the conversion fails in the books in question, there is a "function" symbol that is 2 lines high, followed by 2 separate lines of text that contain an algebraic equation for a numerator, a horizontal bar to denote the fraction, and an algebraic equation for the denominator.

Anywhere else that the function symbol spans a single line, this is not a problem. The conversion dies on the first page that has this symbol spanning 2 lines of text.

I'm curious if those with a similar failure issue are converting books that perhaps have drop-capitals at the beginning of a chapter or something similar. Perhaps then, one of the problems is the conversion program assumes, indeed demands, that any single character must appear on a single line of text, and all characters on that line must likewise appear on a single line of text?

Perhaps Adobe might look into this and convert such "expanded" characters to an image, and insert that image in front of the "normal" characters that follow?
