Dear archicad talk group,
I have a lot of writing in my plans and when I save them as pdf some of the smaller fonts are not shown in the pdf and it's not because the fonts are too small and cant be read if printed(when I divide the plans into smaller ones and change the pdf paper size so that and their size isnt different from when they were saved as a whole all the fonts are shown)
I'm guessing I have to change some font settings so that I can print my plans with all the fonts but I dont know how

Dear archicad talk group,

I even used the pick up and inject parameters to make sure the specifications are the same but then even the 2 that were shown in the pdf disappeared..what am I missing?
please help me out

There are some fonts that just don't play nicely when saving as a PDF.
Certain character combination cause the text to disappear or turn into squares for each character.
Try changing all the text to ARIAL and I would guess that the PDF will be fine.

What font is it that you are using?

Barry.
