creating pdf files with Russian language texts

[Danko Sipka]

You should do the following (in Acrobat 5, other versions may be slightly
different):

File - Print, Choose Acrobat Distiller as your print output (or press the
"Acrobat" button in your application)
Click on the "Properties" button
A pop-up window will appear - press the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab
Click on the "Edit Conversion Settings" button
Another pop-up window appears - check the "Embed all fonts" checkbox.

That should do it.

Best,
