When I tried to open a PDF file that is made up in Japan, I get an error below.
A font required for font substitution is missing.

I checked Database and found this problem is resolved after upgrading necessary fonts.

But can the PDF creator select a special setting that can relieve receiver's burden?
Do you know any ideas?

To read a file with Japanese text, Japanese language support must be
installed in Acrobat, even if fonts are embedded.

So people who wants to open PDF file must do install Japanese fonts, right?

I think people, who creates PDF files, should arrange PDF files to be able to open.

Don't you think so?

Aandi, one more question.

Can people, who creates PDF file with Japanese OS, have a solution that forces Japanese users to stop using Japanese fonts?
When they edit a file with Word, can they know that they used Japanese character in this file such as Japanese space, sign or certain graphics?

Right.

It would be nice, but including Japanese, Chinese and Korean language
support in every copy of Acrobat Reader would make for a 40 megabyte
download.

Of course, the Japanese copy of Reader can read Japanese characters
without anything extra.
