I assume you have the merge result, so some characters will be missing: So much for the workaround I had suggested in the past…Īfter a few more unsuccessful attempts, I ended up with a process that works – at least for the files that I had access to. I unselected all of them with the exception of “Fonts”, and then selected to un-embed all fonts. When you bring up the optimizer, you can configure different categories. You can un-embed fonts using the PDF Optimizer (File>Save as Other>Optimized PDF…) in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (unfortunately, the ‘Standard’ version does not have this feature).
I’ve always suggested to un-embed fonts, so that was the first thing I tried. Once I had access to a file that had missing characters, I tried a number of different things. I finally struck gold and received a couple of files that show this problem. I’ve asked for sample files for many years, but never got anything useful.
I’ve never seen this problem first hand, and therefore was not able to find a workaround that would fix it. Have you ever tried to merge a few files and ended up with missing characters on some of your pages in the resulting PDF file? Here is a description of one of these instances – as a question posted on :
