save as PDF fails - Cannot create font

[Mario-Villada]

Hi there,

I am getting this error every time i try to save a drawing as PDF :

   Published with a warning(s)
     Cannot create font

As you can see the font has no name so I can't install any missing font.

I found out that this error occurs only in drawings created from the company template wich I believe was created years ago. If I use any other template from inventor everithing is ok.

Mi first thought was that there is something wrong in any text field on the title block, but I don't know what to look for

Does anybody knows how to fix this?

1st create a BLANK drawing base on the current Company template

Follow the steps shown in the 4 screen shots when chose click "FINISHED SKETCH" when promoted to save or disregard changes select ""YES" then go to "FILE" - "SAVE AS" and choose "SAVE COPY AS TEMPLATE" now navigate to where you company template is save over right the old one with the new one. Close the open drawing with out saving then create a new drawing base on the replace/corrected company template.

Thanks a lot Paul, It fixed the font problem, although I've found out that it was not the only problem for  PDF, but thanks to you now I am in the right direction. it looks like we are using a style that was migrated from an old version of inventor and all the text styles had problems, and also there is something wrong with the layrers as well. So I will change them all and prepare a new tamplate the way you showed me.

Thanks.
