Adobe PDF Converter error when sending report to PDF in Microsoft Dynamics GP

Just recently, I was working on a few Report Writer reports for a client and assisting with installing the latest Adobe Acrobat Standard version for them. After Adobe was installed, we decided to run a few tests to attempt to send some of the modified reports output via email using the Send To > Mail Recipient PDF option on the Report Output window.

Send To > Mail Recipient PDF

Upon choosing the Mail Recipient PDF option, we received the following error:


Adobe PDF Converter error



The error seems to come from the Adobe PDF Converter application which suggested that our PDF conversion process must rely on the system fonts and use document fonts. In addition, the message provided the path to address the issue as well, so we followed.

Initially, you must go to the Devices and Printers panel in Microsoft Windows, then right click on the Adobe PDF Converter printer and choose Printer Properties.

Once the Adobe PDF Converter Properties window opens, click on the Preferences button

The Preferences button will now open the Adobe PDF Converter Printing Preferences window, where the option referring to the specific error comes to surface:

Once the checkbox was unmarked, we were able to re-test our reports and everything worked just as intended.

If you ever run across this error, just know that the fix is very simple.

Until next post!
