When I try to read the PDF files on my MAC, I get the message “Symbol font not present – reinstall acrobat.” What is the problem?
There are two possible problems here, either: a) there are too many fonts installed in your System:Fonts folder, or b) the Apple GXGraphics extension is installed and active. In order for Adobe Acrobat Reader to run, the following fonts need to be installed in the “Fonts” folder in the “System Folder”: Adobe Sans MM, Adobe Serif MM Courier, Helvetica, Symbol , Times, Zapf Dingbats (may also be called “ITC Zapf Dingbats”). When you run the Adobe Acrobat Reader installer, it will install these files in your System folder for you, unless you have too many font suitcases already installed. The maximum number of font suitcases that may be in your “Fonts” folder at any one time is 128. The solution is to remove some of your fonts and reinstall Acrobat Reader. If the Apple GXGraphics extension is installed and active, the solution is to disable the Apple GXGraphics extension, restart the computer, and then reinstall Acrobat Reader. Both problems are described at Adobe’s Technical Support WebS
