publishing to .pdf destroys Greek characters

[morganism3]

At my company, whenever we finish a project on AutoCAD 2010, we publish it to .pdf for the customers who don't have AutoCAD. We have found that for any block of text that has an Omega symbol in it, regardless of text style, when we open up the newly-created .pdf, it gives us an error message about "Arial MT" and shows the whole section of text as a bunch of dots on the .pdf, instead of displaying text properly.

We've been looking for a solution for this. I found this online: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/central/5.7/designer/Readme.htm#Greek_Characters , but it doesn't seem to work for Adobe Reader Version VI (11.0.06) (we can't find the "jetkeys" file it references.)

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

How is your chosen PDF driver set to capture and store fonts? it would appear you have no capture or partial caputre set instead of full capture of fonts.

I'm not sure. How would I check this setting?

Depends on which PDF driver you are using: explore this similar font issue on how to fix it with the built-in PDF driver inside AutoCAD http://blogs.rand.com/support/2011/02/do-you-get-an-error-that-says-missing-fonts-when-opening-a-pdf...

This should solve it, though it brings one more question . . . where do I find the dwg to pdf properties box that it mentions in the third link?

Also, one more: if I want to publish instead of plot, how do I change it there?
