Pages PDF vs Adobe Acrobat Professional

I created a PDF using Pages 08.
… Any ideas?
Unfortunately, Kinkos tends to use Acrobat Professional to read their pdfs.

You will have to choose between Pages and Kinkos 😉

Since you have Acrobat Professional, why not use it as your virtual printer instead of exporting your PDF with Pages?

No. If you are saving the file as a PDF in Pages you aren't using Acrobat as your printer. If you do indeed have Acrobat Professional then do this: Open the System Preferences and select the Printer & Fax control panel. Click on the plus to add a new printer. Besides whatever printer you have, you should see Adobe PDF 8 or Adobe PDF 9 (whichever version you have). Select it and then select the PDF printer driver. (It may take a while for the PDF Printer to appear, be patient.) Now when you want a PDF, select Print and choose the PDF printer. This way you won't be using Apple's built in PDF printer, you'll be using Adobe's and that should solve your problem.

DWB -

Do you know any other way of doing this without having to buy Acrobat Pro 9? I am a volunteer for a few nonprofits trying to find a way to reliably get my pages designed docs to printers and having the same issue with fonts in PDFs.

Thanks much!

No, I'm aware of no other option. But many non-profits are eligible for discount pricing.
