I double checked the link, and it works for me, and all the Web links about
it direct right back to that page. Too bad, i'd have loved to hear what you
might have seen in the properties that might be causing my problem.
I have Adobe 9 so i'm good there. Even standard fonts can cause problems
when uploading to the court system. (Not that I really understand computer
stuff), but I think its more of a security issue to make sure no bugs, or
viruses etc. slip through -basically if its a static image, they'll allow it
to be uploaded. All i really know is that its a pain in ...
I'll look into your suggestion about creating ISO19005-1 compliant PDF
files, and see if that will reliably create files I can upload to the Court.
I'll have to fiddle around with the PDF preferences i see Word 2007 has and
see what works.
If it works, maybe i can bypass the ABXPDF entirely.
Thanks for taking the time to help out.

USA?
Acrobat can certainly be configured to embed fonts (though there may be
issues of copyright involved, in which case I wonder if the Court system is
acting legally if it will embed fonts that Acrobat cannot embed?) It is
necessary however to use the add-in to get the best from Acrobat/Word and
for that to work you need version 8+ for Office 2007 compatibility. If you
have an earlier version of Acrobat you can set its driver properties to
embed fonts.
I am also rather surprised (perhaps not) that the Court requires documents
in some non-standard Windows font. The legal system is complicated enough
without ridiculous font requirements. If the fomts were standard there would
be no need to embed them.
The Microsoft PDF add-in for Office 2007 will also embed fonts provided you
set the option to create ISO19005-1 compliant PDF files, and names the PDFs
to match the name of the document.
As I cannot download the ABXPDF driver I cannot check out its properties,
but that is where you should look for naming conventions.

The document layouts and formating are created in Word, and then
simply printed to PDF. And I do have full Adobe, (but this usually
causes problems by not embedding fonts, etc. So one has to use the
writer to correct these problems, otherwise its a long day of
reprinting, eventual scanning the document and reuploading files).
The problem only occurs when using this ABXPDF writer/ print driver.
When I print to PDF without using ABXPDF, the problem does not occur.
And as i believe i mentioned previously, the last version of Word i
was using didn't cause this problem.
Here is the link to the ABXPDF:

While I don't dispute what you are saying, 'printer' drivers do not
normally affect the formatting of the document. This is usually
achieved by the template used to create the document. If the end
result is a PDF file, then surely the document layout could be
created in Word and printed to a PDF driver, such as the industry
standard Acrobat, without having to use some Mickey Mouse
application cobbled together by the court?
Is this 'module' in the public domain? If so can you post the link
so that we can see what is involved?

My office has to use a special PDF, "ABXPDF", print (add-in/module?)
that has a formating requirements accepted by the Courts- you have
to download it from the Court website, so I don't know what they
did to the formating.
My questions is on the naming conventions of the PDF file when you
go to print to PDF from Word 2007. When you normally do a print to
PDF in basically brings up a "save as" box that allows you to save
the file as a PDF using the same file name, but as a PDF. However,
in the ABXPDF printing (module/add-in?) the box comes up and adds in
"Microsoft Word -" before the file name, which I then have to
delete, because of the Court's file naming requirements.
Is there anyway to set the default naming convention so it doesn't
add the "Microsoft Word -" in front every time?
