[OS X TeX] PDF File won't print from Adobe Reader 8.0

[Alan Litchfield]

I saw this on another list.

I think it has something to with the fonts not being recognised by  
reader. It was generally acknowledged as a bug in reader, but no one  
had a work around.

What if you produce the LaTeX output as dvi, then pdf it?

When printing your original file, can you tell the printer to print  
all postscript errors?

And, try printing to PDF.

Cheers
Alan
