SW 2006 save as to pdf... pdf's created with really werid fonts.
(OP)
When I "save as" pdf in SW 2006 sp 4.0 it generates the pdf files fine; but when I open the pdf files all the text on the drawings has change to some really werid font which is unreadable. Any ideas ?

You may consider posting an example of the garbled text in JPEG or PDF format so we can see it for reference--may lend some cues (check FAQs regarding file/image posting).

You will need to delete the SolidWorks font from your machine first before you will be able to add them back from the other computer.
We have had this issue ever since SolidWorks went to Adobe Acrobat for the Save As PDF option. Not all the pdf's we created since SolidWorks switched to Adobe Acrobat where created with embedded fonts. There was a couple service pack lag before SolidWorks added the embed font switch.
I have a folder out on the network with the good fonts (older vintage that work) so our IT people can add the fonts to our users systems. On my machine when I apply a service pack I need to re-apply the older SolidWorks fonts I have saved.

Simon, I actually have adobe pdf writer software but I was having trouble when using distiller to print a large batch of drawings to pdf. I have been unable to make the adobe software send the large batch of files to pdf without prompting me to name and place each file, if I ask it not to prompt me then it names each file "sheet1" instead of the file name and places all on my desktop. If you have any ideas on that, that would be great as well.

No, I am talking about the system fonts in Windows/Fonts folder. They start with an SW.
