Placed PDF (with embedded fonts) reports fonts not available!

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why Illustrator CS (I know it's old) should report Fonts missing when the PDF I have placed has definately got the fonts embedded.
The PDF was made in InDesign CS4 using the default [High Quality Print] setting. If I look at the properties of the created PDF it lists all the fonts as being embedded subsets.
I know I can get around this by outlining the text but I shouldn't have to.
Thanks
Simon Kemp

So, Illustrator will always require the fonts present and will disregard any embedded fonts?
That's pretty much it. Remember: Illustrator is not a PDF viewing program. It wants to let you edit the document. PDF is essentially a document exchange format and not really intended for editable content (beyond the extent Acrobat enables). Font designers want you to buy their products if you're going to be doing anything other than reading the text.
The link-place-flatten trick is good to have in your bag of tricks, but I am not alone in recommending you do not blindly outline all type. Aside from making it nearly impossible for an output service provider to make a possibly necessary last-minute correction, you will not get the proper hinting with very small type. Moreover, if you're dealing with a large amount of text, you'll end up with huge files.

  • Export as PDF with embedded profiles for Grayscale images

    Does InDesign CS6 export pages with Grayscale images as PDF with embedded profiles?
    Possible profiles, for instance:
    – Gamma 2.2
    – Dot gain 20%
    – Black Ink ISO Coated v2 (ECI)
    Export mode:
    – Acrobat 5 or higher
    – No color conversion
    – Embed all profiles
    Test by Acrobat Pro
    Advanced > Print production > Preflight > PDF analysis > List objects using ICC/Lab/Calibrated Color
    [The question is not about the export of Color images as Grayscales]
    Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

    I wouldn't ever use different RGB profiles and different CMYK profiles and
    different Gray profiles in one doc – it's just necessary for tests.
    If you had a hypothetical case where your InDesign document's assigned CMYK profile and intended output was ISOcoated_v2_300_eci and you recieved grayscales for placement with different gray profiles assigned, I think you would have to make the conversion in Photoshop if you want the grayscales to be converted to your ISOcoated_v2_300_eci output intent space.
    So in this case I have a grayscale image with Dot Gain 10% assigned and you can see the 50% patch is reading as 50% in Info panel:
    If set my Working Gray space to the ISO Coated profile as above and do a Convert to Profile with the Destination set to Working Gray:
    The preview doesn't change but I get converted gray values—50% is now 44%:
    If I place the grayscale in an InDesign doc with ISOcoated_v2_300_eci assigned as the CMYK profile, the preview won't change (you have to turn on Overprint /Sep Preview), and the converted numbers will show in Separation Preview. The preview and numbers will also be unchanged in Acrobat if you export to default PDF/X-4

  • Option to email a pdf from an access report does not appear.

    I upgraded to windows 8, and now the option to email a pdf from an access report does not appear.

    Hi anne,
    Could you please let me know what Acrobat and OS version are you using.
    Does this happen in case of any particular PDF or all PDF files?
    Try repairing Acrobat and then again check.

  • Required application context reporting is not available

    I've just installed HPM 11.1.1.1 (product: ESSBASE/foundation/planning/Financial reporting) and I'm now testing Financial Reporting.
    I created a financial report as indicated in http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/06/07/hyperion-financial-reporting-getting-started
    I can run this report in Financial reports (PDF view)
    1. But I cannot run the report in HTML (Hyperion Workspace) : error "Required application context reporting is not available"
    2. Besides I notice that in Workspace -> explorer the voice File -> Import -> "Financial Reports" is missing.
    Maybe something was wrong in installation, but I did it twice .... and Diagnositcs reports no errors.
    So, is there some more activity to be done on Workspace/Financial reports so that integration of these two products work correctly ??
    (Note: installing on Microsoft windows 2003 server - deploying on Tomcat and IIS6 web server)
    Regards
    Marina

    This one has frustrated me to no end as well! One would think that when you install FR/WA they would automatically register themselves with Workspace as part of their configuration process (and one would be wrong).
    The solution is to go back and run the configuration tool again. The only thing you have to select this time is Foundation Services... Workspace... Configure Web Server, then restart the two Workspace services.

  • How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

    I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font.  I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
    I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
    A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

    Anna;
    Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
    If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Help with embedding Type1 OTF Fonts in Word 2007/2010 docs

    Hi,
    I purchased a few Adobe OpenType Pro fonts including Myriad Pro and Garamond Pro. I want to use those fonts in Word 2007 and/or 2010 .docx type documents. It works fine while I work on my PC which has the fonts installed. Word recognizes the fonts and I can use them, in the 2010 version even with some OpenType features like ligatures, medieval numerals, etc. However, I have tremendous difficulties embedding those fonts so recipients can actually read and/or edit my documents.
    Exporting the fiels into PDF also skips embedding the fonts (at least as long as I use Microsofts PDF Export).
    Can someone please tell me:
    1) Is embedding of OpenType fonts in Word 2007 or 2010 possible at all?
    2) If not, can I trade in the fonts for the corresponding TrueType versions?
    3) If that is not possible, is there a way to convert the fonts into TrueType without losing too much of the font quality?
    Thank you all for your kind support.
    JP

    Microsoft only allows embedding of TrueType fonts and OpenType TrueType-flavored fonts to be embedded in their Office documents. There is nothing in OpenType CFF fonts (the OpenType fonts with Type 1 outlines in them) from being embedded in Office documents other than a business decision by Microsoft. Complain to them.
    No, Adobe does not provide its OpenType CFF fonts in OpenType TrueType format.
    No, there is no reasonable way to “convert” OpenType CFF fonts to OpenType TrueType format without some degradation of quality. Essentially you would be converting Bezier curves definition outlines in quadratic curve outlines and discarding the hinting which provides for intelligent scaling.
    I suggest you complain to Microsoft about this. Again, it is their business decision and pretty bone-headed one at that!

  • Problem with Embedded "Adobe Arabic" Font

    I realy have defficulty getting embedded "Adobe Arabic" font to work, beleive me, I have tried lots of different approaches, but it won't join the glyphs properly using it as Embedded font.
    Please try typing the word مُعَلِم into the textlayout component. notice this words uses the combination of letters and ligatures. if you choose to use the "Adobe Arabic" as a system Font assuming you have already installed the Adobe Arabic into the system, it shows as مُعَلِم, which is correct.
    However if you choose to use the Adobe Arabic font as an Embeded font, it displays the word as the above but puts spaces between each letter.
    I have tried brian's solution "Using a font SWF in a Flash Profession CS4 application" the World Language application, and still shows wrong and it does not join the glyphs properly if and only if you use letter and ligatures like the word مُعَلِم.
    in your example you have used the word الإخاء which renders properly but try using مُعَلِم and see what happens.
    Please have a look at the attached file for more information.

  • DE and PDF with embedded multimedia

    DE crashes on XP when trying to access sounds and multimedia embedded in a PDF.
    I am testing PDFs with ACS DRM in DE and looks like there are major problems with multimedia. Wave files does not play and make the system crash. Same with various video formats that were working fine with Adobe Reader 7. Swf support seems to work fine though.
    Before converting all sounds and videos to swf I would like to know if there's a way to fix that!
    thanks

    WAV files are not presently supported but they of course shouldn't crash. We have fixed several bugs in this area for 1.5

  • Placing PDF with hyperlink in InDesign loses link

    Hi,
    I was hoping someone can help me with this. I have a PDF that I've created a hyperlink using the Link tool in Acrobat. I've placed that PDF into InDesign hoping the interactivity will follow through. When I export the InDesign file to PDF, the hyperlink is lost. Is there a way to ensure that the hyperlinks get carried through?
    Thanks!

    Still.
    Generally I think the engineering assumption in InDesign is that placed PDFs will mostly be images, not text, and certainly not interactive text. Of course that is less and less true.
    You can always file a feature request (adobe.com/go/wish).
    Yes, it is possible to export hyperlinks from a PDF...I would ask in the Acrobat scripting forum, I guess. But it's definitely technically possible.

  • Placed PDF with Layers - can layers be maintained and exported in a new PDF?

    Can a layered PDF placed in InDesign include these layers in the InDesign Layers Panel? I have a layered PDF created in Illustrator CS4. I'm placing it in InDesign CS4 6.0.4 and want to export a PDF with the layers in tact from Illy. I use the Show Import Options dialog box and can see all of the layers in the layers tab. I tried both options for update links so that choice seems unimportant. I only see one layer, Layer 1, in the InDesign layers panel after placing the PDF. I was expecting to see all of the layers from the placed PDF. I exported as Acrobat 6 with Create Acrobat Layers checked but the only layer in the exported PDF is Layer 1. I searched and read for quite some time and can’t figure it out. Maybe I’m expecting something that isn’t possible but it sounds like it should be. I tried placing it as a native AI file with the same results. Where am I going wrong?
    Thanks,
    Glenn

    Thanks to Bob and Peter. I understand what you said. It seems as though the ability to place a file with layers should allow you to take advantage of it better. This is a map that will allow users to turn on or off various points of interest, hotels, etc. Now I realize I can at least control them from the place dialog box so, other than having to place the same map multiple times I end up with what I wanted. Thanks for the soultions.
