Why doesn my APT proposal print correctly (e.g. math symbols missing)?
Symptom: You start with the LaTeX template for your scientific justification. Then you convert it to PDF. This looks and prints fine. But after you combine the scientific justification with the coverpage information you typed into APT, the resulting PDF file doesn’t print properly.It looks fine on the screen, but when printed, some or all of the text is missing (some people lose all the text, some just lose the math symbols). Not everyone has this problem, it depends on exactly how you converted to PDF. Explanation 1: When APT merges the scientific justification with the rest of the proposal information, the result is a single PDF Version 1.4 file (regardless of whether your PDF file was 1.4 or 1.3). The resulting PDF 1.4 file is only fully compatible for printing with Acrobat 5.0 or higher (APT uses your local copy of Acrobat for display and printing). Note that some people have been able to work around the problem by embedding fonts or using ps2pdf13, but this has not worked for ever
