    this was the first message wheni tried to open it.

    'a font required for fonts substitution is missing'

    so i clicked ok then came this message.


    'can't find or create the font 'andakwt' some characters may not display or print correctly'

    i then clicked on ok and got no further message just a page with some english writing at the top then pages of ~~~~~~ un-readable material.

    What should i download on the adobe page that you gave me. Also i have version 6 on my computer would i be better updating to version 7.

    I would certanly try version 7 first, simply because it's so much faster than 6.

    Below is the direct download link, just select relevant options.

    I can find reference to an 'andakt' font but not andakwt font. Appears to be a foreign character font so you may not be able to read it - even if it could be displayed!
