Joy joy joy! No docs on Adobe's website regarding even a fraction of the
error I received. Very little stuff on Google and Altavista; all that I
found was non-pertinent, so I did my best attempt. Oh, BTW, Leadtek's PDF
manual authors were so brilliant, they used Simple and Traditional Chinese
font sets to produce English characters on the cover page and tables on eight
and nine. Now that's thinking! So much for their PDF being portable.
Here's what I did to get it working:
1. Download and install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 (Acrobat 5.0 doesn't have the same
directory structure with CMaps! weird)
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html
2. Download your respective font pack for Adobe Acrobat 5.x! For mine, it
was Traditional Chinese and Simple Chinese (see below for Adobe download
link)
3. Unpackage the tar.gz file. Example with Simplified Chinese "tar -xvf
chsfont.tar.gz"
Simplified Chinese:
INSTLANG (script)
LANGCHS.TAR
LANGCOM.TAR
LICFONT.TXT
Traditional Chinese:
INSTLANG
LANGCHT.TAR
LANGCOM.TAR
LICFONT.TXT
4. Make sure Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is not running.
5. The path of Acrobat 7.0 may vary per distribution. Mine is Fedora Core 3.
Let's use Simplified Chinese as an example. Get into the directory CHSKIT
Untar LANGCHS.TAR (It will bring out STSongStd-Light-Acro.otf to the Font
directory)
tar -xvf ./LANGCHS.TAR -C /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Resource/Font/
8. untar LANGCOM.TAR to the Acrobat CMap directory (lots of files)
tar -xvf LANGCOM.TAR -C /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Resource/CMap/
9. Repeat steps 4 - 8 as needed per set.
10. Open Acrobat and your document and enjoy!
