Are you are trying to print from an Office program (this is generally the case) to Adobe PDF and getting the following error?

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% Cambria not found, using Courier. %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show ]%%

Stack: ()

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

This is an issue where Adobe cannot find the Cambria font and defaults to Courier, but is still unable to print the PDF. Fortunately there is a very quick fix!

  • Step 1: Open the document/publisher file you are trying to make into a PDF.
  • Step 2: Select Print, but instead of printing, select "printer settings"
  • Step 3: Under "Adobe Printer Settings" un-check the box that says ""Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" (See below)
  • Step 4: Print the document/publisher file and it will successfully print!
