    Default Microsoft PDF Won't Print Some Letters

    Never saw this one before. I downloaded an XP network tutorial in pdf from Microsoft, and printed it out to give to my son. Some letters are missing in the printed document, and no matter what I try they still come up blank. Tried printing black ink only, etc. but always the same letters, f,i,t, but not all the f,i,t in the document. It's not a huge problem, but it makes it a little difficult to read for someone who is not familiar with networking and le sharing (file sharing)

    That is a bizarre one, have you tried opening the document in Xara and printing from there?

    I think this happens when the application does not contain the fonts that are in the document. Try printing the pdf as an image.

    Search for this problem on internet showed many hits dealing with the same issue. Sometimes the software that creates the PDF doesn't embed the fonts used in the doc so printer tries to substitute. If it can't find a substitute the printer just skips it. This could be what is causing it. The other thing I saw a lot of people suggest is to make sure the printer drivers are up-to-date by the manufacturer. Don't really understand all the technical stuff, but it appears you are not alone out there.
