The hat (^) symbol placed with the Math Type program does not appear in the PDF file

Question

When I put a hat symbol (^) on a mathematical symbol using the "Math Type" program, it appears in the Word document. However, when I convert Word documents to PDF, the hat symbol disappears. What is the reason for this? I beg you to assist. (Note: I use the Foxit Reader for pdf)

Answer 1

Hi again,

Did you check the article?

Bitmap text when fonts may not be embedded If fonts can't be embedded into the document, the PDF uses bitmap images of the text so that the PDF looks the same as the original document. If this option isn’t selected and the file uses a font that can't be embedded, then the PDF reader might substitute another font.

I think this is your problem.

Answer 2

I use Word's converter to convert Word file to PDF.

Hi Mehmet Erdoğmuş,

Which program do you use convert pdf? Microsoft Word save as PDF or another 3. party program? You can check the Microsoft Article below this message.

Save or convert to PDF or XPS in Office Desktop apps

You can use the Office programs to save or convert your files to PDFs so that you can share them or print them using commercial printers. And you won’t need any other software or add-ins.

Use PDF format when you want a file that:

• Looks the same on most computers.
• Has a smaller file size.
• Complies with an industry format.

Examples include resumes, legal documents, newsletters, files that are intended to be read (not edited) and printed, and files that are intended for professional printing. **Important:**Many programs, including Microsoft Word, have the ability to open and edit PDF files. Simply sharing something as a PDF is not sufficient to guarantee the recipient can't edit the file.

1. If the file was previously saved, select File > Save a Copy.
   If the file is unsaved, select File > Save As.
2. Select Browse to choose the location on your computer where you want to save the file.
3. In the drop-down list, select PDF.
4. Select Save.

Select More Options > Options to customize your PDF.

• To make a PDF file from only some of the pages in your document, choose an option under Page range.
• To include tracked changes in the PDF, under Publish what, select Document showing markup. Otherwise, make sure Document is selected.
• To create a set of bookmarks in the PDF file, select Create bookmarks using. Then, choose Headings or, if you added bookmarks to your document, Word Bookmarks.
• If you want to include document properties in the PDF, make sure Document properties is selected.
• To make the document easier for screen-reading software to read, select Document structure tags for accessibility.
• ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A) This option outputs the PDF document as version 1.7 PDF, which is an archiving standard. PDF/A helps to insure that a document will look the same when it’s opened later on a different computer.
• Bitmap text when fonts may not be embedded If fonts can't be embedded into the document, the PDF uses bitmap images of the text so that the PDF looks the same as the original document. If this option isn’t selected and the file uses a font that can't be embedded, then the PDF reader might substitute another font.
• Encrypt the document with a password To restrict access so only people with the password can open the PDF, select this option. When you select OK, Word opens the Encrypt PDF Document box, where you can type and re-enter a password.

Open and copy content from a PDF with Word

You can copy any content you want from a PDF by opening it in Word.

Go to File > Open and browse to the PDF file. Word opens the PDF content in a new file. You can copy any content you want from it, including images and diagrams.

Portable Document Format (PDF) preserves document formatting and enables file sharing. When the PDF format file is viewed online or printed, it retains the format that you intended. The PDF format is also useful for documents that will be reproduced using commercial printing methods. PDF is accepted as a valid format by many agencies and organizations, and viewers are available on a wider variety of platforms than XPS.

XML Paper Specification (XPS) is an electronic file format that preserves document formatting and enables file sharing. The XPS format ensures that when the file is viewed online or printed, it retains exactly the format that you intended, and that data in the file cannot be easily changed.

**Important:**Most modern web browsers can open and display a PDF file. If you have an older operating system, however, you may need a PDF reader installed on your device such as the Acrobat Reader, available from Adobe Systems.
