It appears normal, except that Helvetica Normal was somehow swapped out for Helvetica Light in the conversion process.
ADOBE FONT KIT HELVETICA PDF
In this version of the PDF (the one without print marks) there is no jumbled Helvetica text.
The problem may have started after a PDF was generated from the InDesign file in which the print marks (crop lines for trimming and color registration) were not included (settings for Print Marks were turned off when creating the PDF). On one of our computers, a PC, according to the file properties, the file in question downloaded as a “Microsoft Edge Document (.pdf)” as the default whereas the other four PDFs in the set downloaded as “Adobe Acrobat Document (.pdf).” The graphics specialist working on this assures me that no Microsoft applications were used when creating, updating files, or exporting to generate a PDF. For the PDF in question, during creation of the PDF, after exporting the file from InDesign to Acrobat, not only does the Helvetica in the new PDF look distorted, but the Helvetica in the InDesign document becomes invisible, at least temporarily. The InDesign source document for the PDF file in question was created with previous earlier version of InDesign. The problem only occurs in one of the five PDFs that (to our knowledge) uses all the same fonts and settings as the other four PDFs. Some other observations that might provide clues: ADOBE FONT KIT HELVETICA UPDATE
To our knowledge, we used the same processes and software to create and update each of the five PDFs, so we don’t know why one would be different. The problem appears to be isolated to only one of the five PDF. When the PDF is generated, any occurrence of text in a Helvetica font is distorted.
The problem occurs when the InDesign files are exported to Adobe Acrobat Pro. While we are planning to phase out Helvetica and other Type 1 fonts (per Adobe’s notice that those will no longer be supported in the future), we need to proceed with trying to get the Helvetica to display properly for our current printing preparations. One of the five PDFs is having a serious glitch (corruption?) that distorts any occurrence of Helvetica fonts.
The company I’m with has a set of five PDFs that we’re using to reprint a book.
