Symbolmt Font Mac Osx
Hello all, I have a weird question, one that I don't really thing has an answer beyond what I already have. Let me know if this doesn't seem very clear: 1. We create a merged PDF.
This PDF is a combination of a cover/back cover created in InDesign with guts that are created in Word by another (not design oriented) area. We send the PDF to an outside printer to be produced in a larger book. We are getting errors back from them during preflight. One we have currently is that there is a 'artificial bold' on font SymbolMT (not sure of the exact term). I know this is only in the Word document since we do not use that font in the area we create, and our designers are not clicking a Bold button in InDesign. Plus I found in the text where they use it, and it is in multiple areas. It is not possible for us to get the Word file currently, and I'm wondering if there is a way to change the font throughout the PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
I know we can use the Text Touch Up tool, but it would take a day or 2 to change it this way. I don't have access to PitStop or anything similar, so that is out of the question also. Since we keep merging these Word Docs., we have been having issues prop up constantly on these. It's never the same, and stuff like this I have a feeling would print fine, but I would LOVE if I could just give the outside area a script to run their files through to clean them up before we get them, but I don't know what/or how. My prepress knowledge is a little rusty anymore. Thanks for any help in advance!

Dec 27, 2017 - I also, as I've mentioned, found the 2 missing fonts on the web and added them to my FONT book, and they are fully functioning fonts.
The WinTel machines I use have Acrobat 7.0 Pro installed. It is not uncommon to get pdf files from my client's document system that have selected text display in a symbol or greek font but should be something else. I have used Document > Properties > Fonts and see that SymbolMT is indeed an embedded font but it should not be showing up where it is (e.g., document title in headers - should be a NewTimesRoman italic). These files display correctly using the Mac OS/X and Linux versions of Acrobat Reader. To the best of my knowledge, none of my computers have SymbolMT installed.
Anybody have a clue where to start to try to fix this on WinTel? 
My Linux boxes are boat anchors and I don't always have an Apple handy. 16,983 bytes (Pages from.pdf) Just tried Designer - the document is pretty large (1356 pages in file) and choked the program. It is definitely not something I can post or e-mail as a whole. I did try extracting the 'Limited Rights Notice' page that showed the problem but when I used 'Document Properties' to look at the fonts, the list was much shorter and did not include SymbolMT, although part of the header still looked like a greek font. I have attached that page - don't think that will get me in trouble.
22,388 bytes Designer Errors on Import (Designer Errors.rtf) 41,378 bytes Use Designer to Manually Map Fonts (Try to Fix.rtf) 251,816 bytes Still Screwed Up - Adobe Bug (Buggy Result.rtf) The link describes exactly my experience - works on other peoples, does not work on my work computer (Reader 7.0) or any of my own machines (2 licenses, Pro 7.0). As you can see from the attached, Designer is not matching up the versions of Times New Roman in the document with those installed on my machine. I then go to the next Designer dialogue and manually set up the mapping. Then third attachment shows that Designer thinks the stuff that displays in greek is some font (Superscript VNI2) that does not even exist on my system. This would seem to be a bug in Acrobat.
