RE: Japanese PDFs

[John Pitt <jpitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ta Dina and Steve,

I have been using J Acrobat with all fonts embedded as outlines, and the
Japanese win95 version of 4.2.4. As I don't read Japanese, though, I might
have missed a setting, so I am re-doing everything for about the 5th time.

Next thing to try, I suppose, is to re-install everything (printers,
drivers, PPDs) and then try using the English version of 4.2.4  :-(
