Today I bought the July/August Fons and Porter Quilting magazine. It came with a free CD: "10 quilting tips and techniques", and a bonus pattern. The tips and techniques section is not readable because my Adobe tells me "cannot extract embedded font 'PBWZSN+Avenir-Black' ". I can see the pictures and the titles but not most of the text. Anyone else happen to come across this error message and figured out how to fix it? I have recently upgraded my Adobe on both my computers.
Fortunately the bonus pattern section is in a font that is readable by my computer, just not the first section on tips and techniques.
It is not a big deal, but I figured if there were anyplace to find a solution to this, it would be in this community.

The PDF on the disk is not correctly made. It should have all the fonts embedded so anyone can open up the file, but instead one of the fonts was not...and since you don't have that particular font, you won't be able to see any text that uses that font.
I would contact Fons and Porter about it, and see if they can send you a replacement disk.

In reply to Ratkins
Ratkins, Thank you so much for the information. I am glad it is the disc and not my computer or my Adobe.
