Disappearing text using Save As to PDF

[Art Campbell]

David's font cache deletion is actually the work-around that had to be used
before Microsoft fixed the problem.
Assuming you're on a Windows platform, use this to MS hotfix the missing
your problem:

This was released and documented in an Adobe blog:

Note that this seems to be separate from the tagged table bug that Shlomo
mentioned, but it's still a required fix if you're on Windows.

Another main point is that from the information you posted, it's impossible
to tell whether both your FM version and your Acrobat program are fully
patched. Make sure they are....  And as long as you're on 7.2, don't use
SaveAs PDF.
