My daughter is printing out pdf applications for grad school. We
get various errors with acroread, but basically some documents don't
print. Here is one type of error. If I print the document to a file,
here is what I get with gv.
Error: /invalidfont in -dict-

GNU Ghostscript 7.07: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
However, if I use pdf2ps to convert the pdf file to postscript, I get
valid postscript which I can print with gv.
I guess the problem is acroread is using a font I don't have to print
these files even though they display properly in X. So, my questions:
What is the difference between acroread and gs (-sDEVICE=pswrite) in font
handling during printing?
Is there someway to make acroread use the same fonts that
gs does?
BTW, I have those Bitstream delux fonts installed.
Thanks,
Joel
