Fonts not shown correctly on pdf in Preview

[jcci]

1. Powerbook G4 10.3.9 - Preview version 2.1.0
Opening pdf file created with Chief Architect (created on windows and emailed to me) fonts are all blocks - not text or numbers.
Open same file with Adobe Reader 7.0.5 and fonts are fine.

2. Mac Mini 10.4.10 - Preview version 3.0.9
opens file fine and shows fonts and numbers correctly

Q: Is it the version of Preview? If so can Preview be updated by itself or is it an entire OSX update? I could not find any software updates for Preview.

The font should not be the issue - coming from the C.A. program the font is Blueprint bd which is not on either of my Macs.

I searched for Preview on this forum and had 0 results?

Thank you

Are you asking if new versions of Preview support newer versions of PDF? Probably.

Are you asking if Preview is an app which is separate and apart from the version of MacOS X that it shipped with? No, it is the graphics viewer for the OS. It is not available separately.
