SYMPTOMS
When you try to print Adobe Acrobat .pdf documents inside of a Terminal Services session, the general page layout may print correctly, the fonts may not print correctly. Instead of characters, you may receive squares in the output. However, the same Adobe Acrobat .pdf document may print correctly outside of a Terminal Services session (locally).



CAUSE
