1220062 - Error: "No system font is available" after exporting to PDF

After exporting a report to PDF, text objects in the PDF cannot be edited using the Touch-Up Tool. Instead, the following error message appears:

"No system font is available".

The cause of the problem is that fonts in Crystal Reports and their correct names fail to be properly mapped to their Adobe Acrobat counterparts.

The issue has been identified and tracked under ID ADAPT00541381.

Hot Fixes or Service Packs address this issue as indicated below. With the update(s), this problem is resolved.

Known limitations: Fonts that do not have an explicit definition (emulated fonts) in Adobe Acrobat may show inconsistent spacing and formatting when edited (for example, fonts like Comic Sans MS, in italics).

Also, Adobe Acrobat will use its own version of the Courier New font when that font is edited.

Unless indicated otherwise, Critical Hot Fix updates from the FTP site have only been tested with English versions of our products.

====================

CAUTION:

Hot Fixes and Service Packs are not designed for OEM versions. Do not apply these updates if you are using an OEM version. To determine if you are using an OEM version, refer to the OEM Product Warning.
