TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Although several folks have suggested different conversion tools, I'm not
sure that will help. From the message below, it appears one of the fonts
used in your document "ArialMT" can't be embedded in the PDF you're
creating.
Often, this types of error indicates a licensing problem, not a technology
problem. Whoever created ArialMT may have prohibited it from being embedded
in a PDF. If so, it's hard to imagine any conversion tool handling this
smoothly, unless it automatically substitutes a different font for the
non-embeddable one.
You might try replacing ArialMT with, say, Arial and then convert it again.
My guess is the error will go away. I'd be interested to know if that's not
the case, as I've yet to encounter a font-related problem that was actually
(when all is said and done) Distiller's fault.
Best,
