PDF Conversion Error in Email

Former Member — Tue, 26 May 2009 09:24:55 GMT

Hi Experts,

my task is to convert a smartform into pdf & download & email. in two different programs

download program i converted smartform using 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF' and its working fine with no problem.

and in email program when tried the same one, I have a error as the PDF file is damaged and could not be repaired.

So I used 'CONVERT_OTF', its working fine and can send emails to external systems with no errors.

Now my problem is in the email, when i open the attachement, i getting a error in Pdf file.

"Cannot extract the embedded font Arial. Some characters may not be display or print correctly".

Please tell me how to close this error.

Thanks & regards,

Dileep .C

Hi Dunlop,

You just type this in Google "Cannot extract the embedded font Arial. Some characters may not be display or print correctly".

You will get the 100's of solution,
