Problem Importing PDFs         


Author: KSol

When I import certain PDF files into OneNote, some of the document becomes
garbled, while some remains readable.

Before (in Adobe Reader):

After (in ON): http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/8938/afterra6.jpg

This will occur regardless of whether I print directly to OneNote or try to
import as printout.

Any chance you can post a link to the problematic PDF?

Sure - here's a link to one. All of the integral symbols convert to junk, as
well as some of the other special symbols.

Tried it with printing into ON. The result IMO is perfect.
Pls see here:

As your previous sample sowed a totally different font: Might it have to
do with the fonts installed on your system?
Which software did you use to open the PDFs and print them to ON?

What version of Adobe Reader do you have Rainald? I tried it here and the
result was dismal.
I am not sure it is fonts. When I printed it to a different printer, the
result was correct.

Vista on my system(s).
No ON on my old notebook (the only thing under XP).

Yeah appears that way.. Is there a way to fiddle with the fonts in either ON
or Reader?
