Fix blurry and foreign fonts in PDF-XChange Editor during printing

Jakov93 · #1 02-28-2024, 09:49 AM

Hi,
I use this macro to export the doc to pdf

Code:

Sub SaveAsPDF()

Dim strDocName As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim intPos As Integer
Start:
    strDocName = ActiveDocument.Name
    strPath = ActiveDocument.path & "\"
    intPos = InStrRev(strDocName, ".")
    If intPos = 0 Then
        ActiveDocument.Save
        GoTo Start
    End If
    strDocName = Left(strDocName, intPos - 1)
    strDocName = strPath & strDocName & ".pdf"

    ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=strDocName, _
                                       ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, _
                                       OpenAfterExport:=False, _
                                       OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, _
                                       range:=wdExportAllDocument, From:=1, To:=1, _
                                       Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, _
                                       IncludeDocProps:=True, _
                                       KeepIRM:=True, _
                                       CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateHeadingBookmarks, _
                                       DocStructureTags:=True, _
                                       BitmapMissingFonts:=True, _
                                       UseISO19005_1:=False
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub

But the exported file shows misformatted text for italic text only (red underlined), as shown below

These misformatted texts also appear on printed paper
I tried many solutions including save as pdf option and contacted the PDF-XChange Editor support service, they gave many other solutions, but also no change.
Today, I installed Adobe Acrobat addon, also when I exported the file, it appeared normally, as shown below (green underlined)

Additionally, I exported the file using Microsoft Print to pdf, and it also appears normally.
So, I concluded the issue was caused by the exporting method "ExportAsFixedFormat"
Is my conclusion right or there are other causes?
However, according to the previous macro, I want to save my document as pdf in the current folder and name by printer method such as "Microsoft print to pdf", not by "ExportAsFixedFormat", in order to ignore the issue.
Thanks
