Opening pdf in illustrator does not display correct font

I have a 30 page pdf form that says it is in timesnewroman font. I of course have Times New Roman. How do I make illustrator recognize the font? It is looking for a font that does not have spaces inbetween the words. When I load the font up it simply replaces all the characters with ??. I tried renaming my times new roman the same way but it still won't recognize it.
I have Adobe Illustrator CS 2.

Hello,
Just like to share my experience with this issue as I too sometime get work that are provided to me from the client in pdf format, and I too sometime get the ???. if possible I try to do the find and replace font technique if the text boxes aren't broken up into sections when I put it into AI, if the text are in section then I'll get spaces in between the words after replacing the font.
What I can do then is delete all the ones that are spaced out but leaving the the very first word or text box and then open up the pdf then hightlight & Copy the text that I need and go back in to AI and paste it in the first text box. Then press the enter key to move whatever text I need to the next line etc. if need be.
If the above don't work I usally contact the client and ask them to provide the font if possible or ask them to turn the text into outline for me to work on. But if it's in outline then that means I won't be able to type if I needed to edit something.

Safari does not display correct font

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I did this, it did something to the fonts displayed in Safari 5.1.7. When I go to a webpage (like someone's blog) the entire body of text is in a cursive font. I've tried emptying the cache, changing the fonts in the Preferences/Apperiences tab in Safari, deleting the com.apple.Safari.plist, and also deleting duplicate fonts in my Font Book. I don't know what else to do, but it's driving me nuts because it's so hard to read the text in Safari. I've also noticed that it does it in Firefox as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Oops - spry menu bar 2.0 does not display correctly when loaded

Oops - obviously I'm new at this. I think I got my graphics loaded now.
Dear Sirs:
I notice bzz31 had a pretty complicated post, so perhaps someone can help me with my complicated problem that has been vexing me for months. I tried the Spry Menu Bar 1.0, but it was impossible for me to edit, and I was delighted to see Spry Menu Bar 2.0 come out. However the 2.0 version has been frustrating me as well.
I can get my menu bar to display properly in Live View, as shown below.
However when I load everything onto the server, the menu bar does not display correctly, as shown below:
I don't quite understand the code "file:///" but I interpret it to mean that the Spry-UI-1.7 folder is in the topmost folder of MacPro5-Docs, which is my hard drive. Here's the code I'm having trouble with:
Here's my computer directory, shown below:
Since my index file is two folders down from Spry-UI-1.7, I loaded the files onto the server similarly, as shown in the next three pictures:
(The picture below is the same as the one just above, but now you can see the path from index to Spry-UI-1.7.)
I would be most appreciative if someone can help me.
Thank you.

Have a look at the following links
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryWidget.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryMenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/MenuBar2/SpryMenuBarKeyNavigationPlugin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/MenuBar2/SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/css/Menu/basic/SpryMenuBasic.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Each of the above points to a file on your local system and cannot be found by the remote server.
Replace the red coloured parts with http://www.twhsbands.org/ will remedy the situation.
You also have some remnants of the other SpryMenuBar that should be removed from your markup.
Gramps
Wel, so much for the red coloured parts, they did not show up.
The red coloured parts read file:///MacProG5-Docs/

Report does not display correctly when exported to adobe

Post Author: mgisonda
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hopefully someone can help me. I am currently running Crystal Reports profession version 10. I have applied service pack 1 and recently service pack 6. I am having a problem with the display of a report within adobe. My report is a bit complex. It is a 8.5x11 one page landscape report. It is set up in a grid format with multiple lines and boxes drawn on it. Here is the report information: Report Definition----
Number of Database Fields: 144 Number of On-Demand Formulas: 40 UFLs in use: None Page N of M Used: No File Format Schema: 10.2.0 I created the report using CR developer. I use the report within a web project. The user requests the report and it returns to the user, an adobe file of the report. However, this is where I am having trouble. On my local development machine, the report displays fine. In CR developer, the report displays fine. When I export the report to Adobe from the CR Developer, it exports fine. BUT when I run the report from my web site, the adobe file that is returned is broken up over 42 pages. What seems to be actually happening is the return adobe file seems to think that the page size is 2in X 4in.. Where it got that, I don't know.The server running IIS is a windows server 2003. It has adobe 8.0 reader on it. I also have Crystal 10 Server Distribution loaded on it. And I have loaded CR10 Service pack 6 on that as well. Below is the web code that is used to display the report:Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared'Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReportsImports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.EngineImports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClassPublic Class PrintInspectionLayout Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim mNotInSpringDesign As String Dim mPartType As String mNotInSpringDesign = Request.QueryString("NotInSpringDesign") If mNotInSpringDesign = "TRUE" Then mStockCode = Request.QueryString("StockCode") lblNotInSpringDesign.Text = "Stock Code #: " & mStockCode & " does not exist in Spring Design." lblNotInSpringDesign.Visible = True Response.Write("<br><br><br><br><br><font color='blue'><center><a href='SpringDesignWildCardSearch.aspx'>Go To Search Page</a></center></font>") Else mStockCode = Request.QueryString("StockCode") Dim pList As ParameterValues = New ParameterValues Dim paramName, paramValue As String Dim pV As ParameterDiscreteValue = New ParameterDiscreteValue Dim Report As ReportDocument= New ReportDocument Dim expOpts As ExportOptions = New ExportOptions Dim pdfRtfWordFormatOpts As PdfRtfWordFormatOptions = expOpts.CreatePdfRtfWordFormatOptions Dim expFormatOpts As ExportFormatOptions = expOpts.ExportFormatOptions expOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat mPartType = Request.QueryString("PartType") 'SELECT THE INSPECTION LAYOUT TYPE TO PRINT Select Case mPartType Case Is = "C" Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/CompressionLayout.rpt")) 'Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/PCAR.rpt")) Case Is = "E" Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/ExtensionLayout.rpt")) Case Is = "T" Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/TorsionLayout.rpt")) Case Is = "W" Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/WasherLayout.rpt")) Case Is = "F" Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/FreeFormLayout.rpt")) Case Else End Select pV.Value = mStockCode pList.Add(pV) Report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields("StockCode").ApplyCurrentValues(pList) Response.ClearContent() Response.ClearHeaders() Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf" Report.ExportToHttpResponse(expOpts, Response, False, "") Report.Close() End If End Sub Any ideas as to the solution?

Hi Paul
You're more likely to get an answer to this if you post in the UNIX forum.
By the looks of it, you may have a problem with your fonts.

Hi;
FormsCentral does not support Digital Signatures. The submission process does not handle a signature field in any way.
There isn't a method in our authoring environment creating a new form in FormsCentral to add a Signature field, and for an Imported PDF Form there is a warning if a signature field is discovered alerting the user that it will not be used.
Thanks,

Dragging and dropping an item within horizontalList does not display correctly

It appears that when I drag an item from a HorizontalList to another location within the same HorizonList, it does not display the images correctly. In my HorizontalList, I have an itemRenderer that shows the thumbnail image of the item. I have about half a dozen items in the list and when I drag the sixth item and move to the beginning of the list, the display looks as if the first and the sixth element are switched, while in reality the resulting dataProvider array seems to have the right order, meaning the sixth element became the first element and the first element became the second element and so on. Has any one seen such a behavior and how do I rectify this? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Ramesh
The HorizontalList def is
<mx:HorizontalList id="myList" width="92%" height="100%" columnWidth="90" rowHeight="105" rollOverColor="#f26722"
                    itemRenderer="com.myListRenderer" labelField="name" dataProvider="{arr}" columnCount="10"
                    click="updateView(event)" dragEnabled="true" dropEnabled="true" dragMoveEnabled="true" >
</mx:HorizontalList>
The renderer code is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalAlign="center"
        verticalAlign="middle" width="90" height="90" verticalGap="0" creationComplete="init()" >
<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        private function init():void {
            imageFile.source = data.url;
            imageName.text = data.name;
    ]]>
</mx:Script>
    <mx:Image id="imageFile" scaleContent="true" width="90" height="70" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle"/>
    <mx:Label id="imageName" height="18" width="90" textAlign="left"/>
</mx:VBox>

Hi Alex,
In your blogpost on itemRenderers, you discussed something relevant in a brief section on "Background color changes when data changes". However, I could not find any reference for use on dataChange event handler. Can you pelase point me to the right article?
Implementing dataChange event instead of creationComplete did not solve my issue. I still had the issue. Thanks, Ramesh

MB56 does not display correct information

Hello,
All 3 plants, use transaction MB56 for traceability. This shows the components that used to manufacture the product and also where the product was shipped, depending on whether you select top/down or bottom/up. I have found an error in the transaction. When you execute for Bottom up to see where the product was shipped, the information is not correct.
The number of pcs is correct for the total amount shipped, but it does not display all of the deliveries that the product was shipped on. Please see the attachment for details of one example. I have executed this for 4 different materials and I have the same problem everytime.
Could you tell me what went wrong?
Thanks
JJ

Hi John,
MB56 will not display data because there is pre-requisite of it.
You must have to compile the inventory documents by MB57 first.
Only you need to execute MB57 t.code.
Specify from & to date & execute it. (It will take some minutes).
Then check it by MB56. You will find traceability.

PDFs created by Adobe PDF print device do not display correctly in Illustrator

I generated a PDF from a PowerPoint file by printing to the Adobe PDF printer device. This step works correctly as the PDF appears normal in Acrobat. However, upon opening the PDF in Illustrator, none of the graphic (bitmap) elements are rendered correctly -- they appear as gray boxes with remnants of the correct image remaining as a single pixel border around the edge. This is clearly an error in the PDF importing in Illustrator. Any work-arounds or suggestions?
Message was edited by: mcgrawcm
Update: OK, so it has something to do with whether an image in PPT was "cropped" before conversion to PDF, as an uncropped version of the same graphic is rendered accurately in Illustrator after conversion to and from PDF. For my part, I'm just going to recopy the images directly into Illustrator, but perhaps this might help someone else dealing with the same problem.

I understand this is no help, but Illustrator is not a pdf editor. This is why you can get unexpected results when importing a pdf in Illustrator.
If you really need to edit a pdf you could use Acrobat or Neo, and there are some more out there, just look around on the net:

PDF does not display correctly

Issue: One of our website page displays a PDF form filled with data retrieved from database. The PDF file displays perfect in IE browser, but the PDF form was blank in Firefox browser - can not see the filled data at all in Firefox browser nor in print-out from Firefox.
I installed the most recent version of Firefox PDF viewer 0.8.1 add-on, and played with different options under the menu "options/Portable Document Format (PDF), but no luck to solve the above issue.
I noticed that not only our website, but also some government websites have the same issue display data filled PDF.
Anybody can help me out to resolve this issue?
Many thanks!

This may well be a limitation of the JavaScript-based PDF Viewer. It currently does not support all the feature of the Adobe plugin (or stand-alone version of Adobe Reader). You can test that theory using the steps in this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
While an end user can switch around among viewers by changing their Firefox options, unfortunately there currently is no way for websites to detect which viewer is in use and assist visitors in a personalized manner. I think for now you may need to recommend that Firefox users use the above article for assistance if more complex PDFs do not render as expected.

Iweb updated page does not display correctly in firefox or safari

www.rohanstevenson.com
tried to update my site with a couple of cues and the wheels have completely come off. i cannot get the site to display correctly.
it looks a bit better if i open the page directly from the computer, but after sending it to ftp host it will not load up properly in the browsers.
i have no idea what is going on and i rather desperately need that site back up and running
help!!

This is happening probably because the text encoding on your server end is set wrong. Or perhaps your FTP program is doing the encoding differently. This is commonlly seen when uploading iWeb pages to 3rd party servers and can be corrected.
Our own Tom Gewecke has a nice writeup about these strange looking characters that can appear. He also has some suggestions about what to check and what to do. Check it out and see if any of it might be relevant to your situation. If not come on back and we'll keep trying to troubleshoot with you...

Good luck!

Insert PDF with Flash into another PDF and it does not display.

When attempting to insert an Adobe Acrobat file with flash elements into another Adobe Acrobat file, the latter will not display the file on screen. Instead it shows this message "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later." Please help.

Yes I would have thought so. Adobe Acrobat and Reader have the ability to view flash content items however this is not the case. I will explain step by step what I am doing. I have done this for years before and I have recently formatted my computer and had to reinstall the software.
Here is a little background information:
System:
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
AMD-FX 4100 Quad Core CPU
8GB RAM
250GB free on HDD
Software Installed:
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
Adobe Reader XI
Adobe Flash 17.0.0.134
Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010
Steps taken:
Open Outlook
Select a few messages
Click on Convert to Adobe PDF
Save the new file "toInsert.pdf"
Open "main.pdf" file
Click and drag "toInsert.pdf" file from desktop into the thumbnail area of the "main.pdf" file to insert.
Attached Error. Please advise. Thank you.

Mac mini minidvi to hdmi does not display correctly new Panasonic TC-L37D2

Hi,
I have the 2009 mac mini (2.2GHz cor 2 duo nvidia 9400 256mb) and I recently purchased the Panasonic TC-L37D2 LED LCD tv. I use the mini dvi to dvi adapter with a belkin dvi to hdmi cable I purchased at the apple store to connect the mac mini to the tv. I cant seem to get the display to correctly fill the screen. When I select 1080P the top menu bar is out of view. Basically the desktop is larger than what is displayed on the screen making navigation difficult. I tried overscan but my screen then has black bars framing the entire desktop. Are there any updated display drivers I can try to fix this. I tried the third party software switchresx but I was only able to correct the vertical issue and not the horizontal issue (so the apple pulldown in the upper left corner is off of the screen). Why is it such a hassle to get this working? My buddy has a 42 inch Panasonic plasma and does not have any problems. Anyone know the correct switch resX settings at least? I see that Apple has added an hdmi port to the new mac minis but that just means I should have waited to buy mine. :/

Read my post in Mac Mini to HDTV. A 3rd party utility called DisplayConfigX will allow you to create a custom resolution that will resize the Mac DVI/HDMI output to fit.
It is annoying when that top menu bar is off the screen huh?

Book Title in Navigation Bar Does Not Display Correctly

Hi,
I tried creating a epub file following Epub Best Practices ebook but after creation and loading of the ebook, I noticed that the book title at the navigation bar is not appearing correctly. The only the upper half of the text is shown so it appears that the text is cut in half. What should I do to correct this?
Thanks,
-- Jeff

It seems that ADE is having errors displaying the book title when it has a non-breaking space. The book title in the previous post contains an non-breaking space. And when I replaced it with a regular space, the display was fixed. See link for the screen grab:
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/WIRjcDpEJSGOIur7FEBvzg?authkey=U6NN0HOA9dw&feat=direc tlink
Aside from non-breaking spaces, what other characters does ADE does not support (which displays the title incorrectly)?
