Hi,
Thanks for your help.
My problem is that I want to add multiple pdfs into one, and all individual pdfs have the same fonts but different subsets.
I want to embed full fonts and remove subsets to only refer to the embed fonts.

Dear Sir/Mam,
We had purchased licenced version of adobe acrobat x pro
We are facing issues while embedding the font in the pdf file
Please find the below mentioned requirement
Requirement:
We have a pdf file (template) with some static images and static text in it
We need to populate dynamic data in the pdf file for this we may use text boxes
We need to set the font name for the text box and embed that font in the pdf template (Eg:Font to be used in textboxes is "RotisSansSerif-Bold")
Queries
Please let us know how to embed the needed fonts in the pdf file?
Once user exports the pdf file, even if user doesnot have the fonts installed in his system the text need to be displayed in the same fonts,how to acheive this?Eg:if we define "RotisSansSerif-Bold" as font in the textboxes,after exporting the data the text need to be in the same font.

Fonts will only installed in the application server and not in the client system
The mentioned requirement need to work on below mentioned specifications
OS:Windiows-XP, Browser:IE
OS:Mac osx, Browser:Safari

There is a similar post just a few away from yours. I will suggest what I would try. Open your job settings file (press or print preferred to get all fonts) and then select the properties and the font tab. At your font to the always embed list and you will likely need to uncheck the subset box. Then save your job settings (give it a name that is meaningful to you, you can not use the settings file you started with as they are read only and I do not recommend changing that). Maybe that will do the job. Of course that is for the creation of the PDF, I forgot you were talking about a form. You might check the form field properties, but I suspect you have already tried that. Guess I don't play with forms enough. Others may be by to answer.

How can i change the size of PDF files ?

how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

Embedding Fonts into a PDF file - Best Solution/s

Good day
What is the best solution or solutions to Embedding Fonts into a PDF file?
Kind Regards

Amplifing on what Test Screen Name posted.
--| Use a Distiller Job Option that embeds fonts.
--| Use Acrobat Pro's (starting with 9.x) Preflight that embeds fonts (if they are present and installed on the local machine).
--| Untick "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" in the Adobe PDF Document Properties dialog.

I would try Acrobat out, you can't do that in Adobe Reader.

Changing the setting from PDF file to a JPEG file.

Is there a way I can change the scan setting on my printer. It is a HP Deskjet F4480. I want to change the setting from PDF file to a JPEG file. I want to scan them so I can see them on my screen saver.

This has nothing to do with Acrobat. See the documentation for the scanner software that came with your scanner.

Rename embedded fonts in a .pdf file

Is it is possible to rename the embedded fonts of a .pdf file?

You can safely removed the system times and helvetica.
http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html
If you use iCal, Mail and a few other Apple programs that use badges on the dock icon you will get a substitute font on the icon, but having another helvetica will fix that. You need 1 Helvetica of any type or Photoshop will not launch.
The only fonts you NEED in OS X are Lucida Grand (used in menus), Last Resort, and Keyboard. The rest can be deleted. Apple says you have to keep Kana, but if you aren't working in any Asian languages you can remove it without system instability. To be safe and follow Apple's guidelines you can keep it.

Cant change words in my pdf file??

why cant I change words in my pdf file? it takes me to another page to convert files to word only and the wrong files I might add

As PDF is not a word processing file format applications that work PDF cannot perform word processing activity.
What can be done when using Acrobat XI is the touchup of characters and character strings.
However if the PDF content is the output image of scanner that content is an image / a picture of text.
To work images / pictures you'd use a photo editor (such as Photoshop Elements or such).
You fail to specify what application you are using (Acrobat XI or Adobe Reader XI).
If you have Acrobat you can perform OCR using Acrobat's ClearScan. The output of ClearScan OCR lends itself to doing "touchups".
If you have Acrobat you can export the OCR output to a Word file. Needed / desired cleanup can be done using Word.
If you have Adobe Reader you cannot modify PDF page content, create PDF or export PDF page content.
With this situation you'd want to be subscribed to one of Adobe's online subscription services.
There is ExportPDF and PDF Pack. With either you can go to the service's web site, sign in and then upload the PDF for processing.
If the PDF content needs OCR you'd direct the service to do that.
The output is a Word file. You'd for sure have to cleanup the Word file but that'd be standard word processing.

[CC][AS] Font errrors in pdf files exported from Indesign

Hi,
With this post I would like to ask for some advice on a problem I'm having exporting Indesign files to PDF using Applescript.
I have a lot of Indesign documents, related to one particular client. All documents need to be exported to highres PDF using a preset.
When I export a file to PDF manually, the resulting PDF file is ok. No errors are displayed when opening the pdf-file in Acrobat (full and reader).
When I export the same file, with the same pdf preset, using a Applescript, the resulting PDF-file shows an error in Acrobat when it's opened.
The message "Cannot extract the embedded font '....' Some characters may not display or print correctly'.
I have this issue in Indesign CS 5.5, CS6 and CC. When trying it on a larger scale, 90% of all documents have this issue. When doing it manually, all resulting pdf-files are fine. I've double checked this with Enfocus Pitstop. All reports are fine.
The Applescript code I'm using...
tell active document
export format PDF type to myFilePath using "SheetCmyk_1v4_IND4" without showing options
end tell
... pretty basic code ... I've tried placing it in a try/catch block, but no error or exception is trown.
The font refered to in the messagebox, varies from document to document...
All fonts are present the document. No fonts are missing. I've cleared all font caches, multiple times, with no luck. All fonts are checked and are not corrupt or damaged. The Os x version i'm using is 10.8
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this issue?
Thanx

Hi,
I've did a lot of test and changing the subset settings didn't solve anything.
I was able to create a temporarily fix for the problem. Every time a file has to be processed, I quit and relaunch Indesign. By doing so, I lose 80% performance because it takes longer to quit and relaunch the app, then to create the PDF-file. I went from a 3 second processing time, to 10 seconds, every time...
I think a cache problem could be the reason.
Does anyone know if you can clear the application cache using scripting, without quitting the Indesign app ?
Thanx
John

How to change Font Encoding in PDF?

Hi,
We are creating PS file using 3B2 software and converting PS to PDF using Adobe Distiller 5.0 or 7.0 or 9.0.
In the created PDF some font are encoded in ANSI and Custom and also Roman, but I want font must be In ANSI encoding.
How can I convert Custom encoding into ANSI?
Do Installation want to change any thing in PS file? Or there is any way to convert Custom encoding into ANSI?
Regards
Thirusanguraja Venkatesan

It is not practical to do this. No tools exist because no developer would consider it necessary (all PDF tools must handle custom encodings). In the case you quote it is not even possible, because the font (math symbols) is not ASCII but symbolic.
Why do you want to achieve this? Perhaps we can suggest an alternative resolution.

Font issue opening PDF file in Illustrator

I was given a PDF file to make typographical changes. Because of the complexity of the file it would be easier to make the changes in Illustrator rather than edit the text in Acrobat. BUT the font (Arial regular, bold, bold italic) defaults to boxes -meaning the symbol when a font isn't open or available. I have tried highlighting the text and manually changing the font but I still get the boxes. I am not able to change the font to any font that I have activated in my system.
I am using IA-CS3 on a MacPro with 10.5.2.
Another note- the PDF was created on a PC with program called Vantage. It is used by our order-entry department.
I am stumped as this is how I have changed PDF files in the past.
Any ideas?

It is Arial Regular, Bold, Bold Italic, Italic. I think it has to do with the file coming from a PC. I get an error message telling me these fonts are missing even though they are on my system. With Illustrator it doesn't offer a replacement font when the error message comes up. After the file is opened, I highlight the text (which is the boxes I previously mentioned)and replace it with another font from my system. I still get the boxes.
When I paste the text in TexEdit nothing shows no matter what font or color I tell it to use.
I have never seen anything like this.

Change name of open PDF file - Edit the file - Save OK

Possibility to open a PDF file, change its name in the Finder, edit the PDF file inside (eg., using the yellow fluorescent marker) and then save it.
Now you cannot do it because you get an error.
Yet, that can be done virtually on any other Mac application.
Thanks.

Anyone could help me?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
we don´t have many options for setting the font type and size in an ABAP list. One option is that you print the output using either SmartForms or AdobeForms, where you can control font type as well as size. This one requires additional work.
Another option is to use the instruction Print-Control:
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 1 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 1 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 5.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 5'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 2 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 2 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.
