Why is some or all text missing when I open a PDF file in XpdfViewer or print a PDF file with XpdfPrint?

Applies to: XpdfViewer, XpdfPrint, XpdfRasterizer

All three of these tools -- XpdfViewer, XpdfPrint, and XpdfRasterizer -- ship with a set of "Base-14" fonts. When you install or unzip the package, the fonts will be installed in the "t1fonts" subdirectory. The "t1fonts" subdirectory must be in the same parent directory as the OCX, COM component, or DLL. If you move the OCX/COM/DLL, you must also move the "t1fonts" subdirectory.

For example, the XpdfViewer (ActiveX control) installation should look like this:

XpdfViewerInstallDirectory/
  |
  +-- XpdfViewerCtrl.ocx
  |
  +-- t1fonts/
        |
        +-- d050000l.pfb
        |
        +-- ... the other .pfb files ...
