We're getting reports from clients that trying to create PDFs using the "Adobe PDF" printer results in errors like this:
As the error indicates, Acrobat doesn't know what to do with the Aptos font.
Here, you have three options presented here in order of increasing complexity:
Use Word's native "Save as / PDF" functionality
Change the font in your Word document
Instruct Acrobat to use system fonts instead by going to File > Print. Select Printer 'Adobe PDF', then click Print Options, click Properties, and untick 'Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts'.
