Adjust standard font (Times new Roman) in an interactive pdf created in Indesign

Could anybody please help me out?
Is it possible (and if so, please tell me how) using Indesign CS6 for creating an interactive form:
- to choose a font (i.e. arial) and have this being exported as interactive pdf (instead of the regular used font Times Newe Roman)
Thus having users to fill in this created form (interactive pdf) using the (by me chosen) font.
Thanks in advance!
Marieke

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your swift reply!
The funny thing is that; if I open the created pdf from Indesign in Acrobat Pro and try to make a change, my program collapse and shuts down...) :
Regards,
Marieke

HT3383 Pages I have lost my use of Times New Roman

Did you install Microsoft Word on your Mac?
It seems to have different versions of some the fonts. Particularly Times New Roman.

Unable to generate Pdf report for crystal 9/10 in Windows 2012 (Standard) server with Times New Roman font. With same font, report getting generated in excel, text, csv format in Windows 2012.

For Times New Roman font in Windows server 2012 R2 (Standard), crystal 9/10 report in pdf format is not getting generated. When we change the font for specific report like Arial, Calibri , Cambria then pdf report getting created.
In Windows 2008 R2, same application worked fine to generate pdf report for TimesNewRoman font and there is no change done in the application which is being used in Windows 2012 R2 server.

Ok, thanks for the reply. You need to contact support or a forum for the Crystal software. Third party products don't usually include Adobe technology, they have their own software. When you contact them, you may want to expand "unable to generate" to give any specific symptoms including any error messages.

Font substitution for Times New Roman? Why is Adobe doing this?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.2 to read pdfs created by a number of different authors. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit OS. These are NOT pdfs I have created. Some of these pdfs display an incorrect font substitution for Times New Roman and I can't figure out why. In the File/Properties dialog the font property comes up as Times New Roman, True Type, ANSI encoding (Times New Roman has spaces between the words). This font is not embedded. Adobe Sans MM is the font that my Adobe 9.2 substitutes for it, even though I have a true type Times New Roman already installed in Windows.I have installed all updates for both Acrobat and for Windows. If I select the text touch up tool to look at the text, a box comes up saying that the original font is not available and a substitute font will be used. When I look at the drop down box for fonts in Adobe, I see among all of the various fonts available, TimesNewRoman without spaces, but no Times New Roman with spaces. Does this matter?
When I go to my Windows Control Panel Fonts screen, I see a Times New Roman truetype font available (with spaces, the same as the font the document is requesting). It says OpenType Layout, Digitally Signed, TrueTyepe Outliers. I use it all the time.
What is required to get Adobe 9 to display this font? It looks like the document is asking for the font I have available on the system and Adobe 9 Pro just isn't identifying it. These same pdfs display just fine on Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.0 on another Windows 7 64 bit OS machine. Is there a separate font library that Adobe has independent of the Windows font library and I simply don't have a complete set of fonts for my version? I don't have the option to have the authors recreate their documents. And they display just fine on an older version of Adobe on a different machine.
UPDATE: Adobe 9 required more than one update. I did the 300 mb update and the problem described above was still there. I checked again just now for updates, and there was another one. This one, whatever it was, fixed the font substitution problem. So the moral of the story is... update, then update again, and keep doing it until there are no more. Adobe doesn't say "there are xx updates available." You just have to keep on asking for them until it says 'no'.

The font Radioactive is the problem. It has an incorrect internal name that conflicts with Times New Roman. Delete Radioactive and ban it from any Mac you use.

I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think. Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.

RH7: Project only showing Times New Roman in fonts dropdown

Hi,
I'm having trouble with a project that was just fine a few weeks ago. At the moment, the only option in the font selection dropdown is "Times New Roman"... a lovely font, but we write our documentation in Arial, so we kinda need that At the moment we can't select any other font for our documents, only TNR.
I'm not very experienced with RH, but I have checked the stylesheet (seems linked correctly and the contents are the same as the stylesheets for the projects that don't have any problems), the templates seem ok too... I'm stumped.
Other things that are happening (seemingly at random):
- new topics are created without an associated stylesheet
- new topics have TNR size 12 as default font (our templates have Arial 9)
- old topics open without a stylesheet; adding in the required HTML code for the stylesheet doesn't seem to help.
All these happened on my coworker's PC, I can't replicate them on mine. Either way, on both our PCs the only font showing is TNR.
This might be important: the projects were recently added to Robo SourceControl. Can this be related to that?
I'd appreciate any help, especially since we've got a big release coming up next week and all documentation needs to be in top shape by then

I guess then the first question is if you go back to a version before you started using source control, does that have the same problem?
Then what about the supplied sample projects, same problem there?

Times New Roman Font Not Working In PDF

I have created a template that uses the Times New Roman (bold) font in Word 2007. When I generate the report, it is converting the font (and all other fonts for that matter) to Arial. From reading the documentation, it sounds like Times New Roman is supported as a "Type 1" font, so I'm wondering if it doesn't work because the version Word is using is TrueType. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?

I forgot to include details about my environment:
Template Builder is version 10.1.3.3.3
BI Version is (I believe) 10.1.3.2
Also, I'm using the version that is delievered with PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.48, which (based on what I've read) seems to be much more limited than the standalone version or the one delivered with the EBS.

Microsoft Word - Times New Roman will not print from my iMac. People send me Word documents, I must select all and choose another font. How can I fix this?

When anyone sends me a Word document via email as an attachment and I attempt to print it out, my printer always spits out a blank page. All Word documents seem to arrive using Times New Roman font. I must then return to the document, select all, reassign a different font, and it then prints okay. How can I fix this? It appears that Times New Roman font is part of my Font Book, and each version of the font (Italic, etc.) appears there in duplicate.

harpnt
Open the Font Book again, select the Times New Roman font set.
You'll see the duplicate warning. Select the fonts and go up to the EDIT menu,
and go down to RESOLVE DUPLICATES.
You might check for other duplicates while you're there, and resolve them.
RESTART your Mac to have the changes take effect.
Then try your docs again.
Any better.

HT5098 How can I read on my Apple Arabic files of Times New Roman or Arial in PC? when I get the files the Arabic letters are separate and not joined. Is there a common font in Arabic that can convert the PC Windows files to my Apple?

How can I read on my Apple Arabic files of Times New Roman or Arial fonts made in PC? when I get the files the Arabic letters are separate and not joined. Is there a common font in Arabic that can convert the Arabic PC Windows files to my Apple?
The same with email messages ,
And when I get Power Point files made in PC Windows, they are like PDF, not Power Point!
Anybody with a good suggestion?

Yewtree wrote:

Do not use MS Word for Mac, it does not support Arabic. Instead use Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer or OpenOffice. Try the font Geeza Pro if others do not work.

"Email link" option changes font to "Times New Roman" at end of the URL in Outlook

When using the "Email link" option in Firefox, it then calls Outlook, then inserts the title of the webpage, as well as the URL. This is a handy feature that I have been using for years, but has always had an annoying bug.
The URL in the body of the message conforms with Outlook's settings (font is Calibri 11 for me), but then Firefox also adds a space at the end of the URL, which is formatted in Times New Roman 12. I have gone through every template and setting Outlook and checked for TNR. It is nowhere to be found. This is something that Firefox is doing, and has been doing for many, many years (at least as far back as version 3.6, all the way to 17, which I'm running now.

Seems obvious now, just added the css class to the body div.

When I export documents from Pages to MS Word, Slavic characters (č, š, ž), in the Times New Roman font, show up in a different font (Arial Unicode), in Word. Can this be prevented?

Certain characters, such as those with a caron diacritic (č, š, ž), show up in a different font when I export documents to Word, even though the font I use in Pages (Times New Roman) also exists in Word. When I was working with Word, I had no problem with these caroned characters.

What version of Pages?
What version of Word?
I tried this with Times New Roman in both Pages '09 and Pages 5.5.1 and opened them in TextEdit, LibreOffice and Word for Mac.
I only saw what you reported when I opened the Pages 5.5.1 in LibreOffice which leads me to suspect you are actually talking about Word for Windows on a PC.
As usual Pages '09 worked flawlessly even with LibreOffice:
It is no surprise to me that Pages 5 stuffs up the formatting as that seems to be its primary function.

Times New Roman font will not print on HP Officejet Pro 8610

My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 will not print documents, spreadsheets, or printer test pages containing Times New Roman font (of any size). It does not put a job in the print queue. In Excel, I receive the "Generic_2_Q294552" error message. My setup: An HP Pavilion Elite computer NY809AV-ABA e9119t; running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1; HP Laserjet 5L, HP PCS 1310, and HP D4360 all print the font just fine. My new printer: HP Officejet Pro 8610, firmware revision FDP1CN1502AR, connected via USB cable. [Also connected via ethernet cable to cable modem.] What I have done so far to troubleshoot the last 3 days: Reinstalled the printer (3 times), the most recent today with an installer issued today; rebooted the printer; rebooted the computer after each significant change; updated the firmware in the printer; tried two different USB cables; tried printing the fonts in Microsoft Word 7, Microsoft Excel 7, and directly from the font file; reinstalled the Times New Roman fonts from backup; visited the forums and tried all of the solutions I could for any similar problem; tried the winprint, hpzppw71, and hpzpplhn print processors with both RAW and NT EMF 1.008 data types; found and repaired all problems I could find with any hardware and software, as well as updating all software to the latest version.

Thanks for trying to help. I am happy to report my experiments and results. Microsoft Word:I open a blank document. Type something in. Select the entire text. Change the font. When I change to some fonts (those listed on my DOES print) the document shows up in the print queue and prints. When I change to the other fonts (those listed as DOES NOT print) nothing happens. It just sits there. No messages. No crash. Nothing in the print queue. I can walk away for hours (as I have done) and come back and nothing has happened. When I change back to a DOES print font it prints. Change it back to a DOES NOT print font and it doesn't. Repeatable. Consistent. No configuration changes or installs have changed it. Microsoft Excel:I open a black spreadsheet. Type something in. Highlight the entire text. Change the font. When I change to a DOES print font it prints. When I change to a DOES NOT print font I get this: "Microsoft Office Excel Your file could not be printed due to an error on HP Officejet Pro 861 on 0. There are several possible reasons:.

There may be loose cables or a bad connection between your computer and printer.For more information about troubleshooting printing problems, chick Help. Show Help >>" when I click the Show Help >> button I get: "This error can be caused by:
General problems: The printer may be unavailable, the network may be down, the communication port to the printer may be corrupt or unavailable, a hardware error at the computer may have occurred (out of paper, paper jam, out of ink, out of toner, etc), and a language setting may need to be reset from the Regional Options control panel.
Local problems: There are several reasons for a local printer (a printer that is attached directly to your computer) to fail:
Check to make sure the printer has paper, ink, and/or toner and check the cables.
If the printer appears to be functional and a printer test by the printer itself indicates the printer is working properly, then check the cables, printer port from the computer, and configuration of the printer at the computer.
Occasionally, an application can develop a conflict with the printer driver and cause a memory leak which corrupts the printer port. If all else fails, restart the computer, recycle the power to the printer, and try printing again.
Occasionally it is even necessary to delete the printer driver and reinstall the latest version of the printer driver.
Network problems: There are various reasons for a network printer to be inaccessible: the name may have changed, it may be out of paper, out of ink, out of toner, down for maintenance, the network could be down, or a printer job previous to yours has stalled due to incorrect settings on the user's computer who last submitted a print job, or even your printer driver cannot communicate correctly with the printer. Network related printer failures are usually best handled by your local technical support.
Memory problemsn occasion, large print jobs with complex graphics or consisting of several hundred pages, which can consume large quantities of memory on the printer, may cause a problem (especially if there was an over run of memory at the printer). You may want to try reducing the amount of complex graphics in your print job, or break the print job up into smaller segments and see if that corrects your problem. It is not uncommon for a very complex graphic to have a defect or error which prevents it from printing on any printer. It may be necessary to load new or revised graphic converters or drivers in order to alleviate a problem of this type.

Doesn't crash. Just pops up the gray dialog box. Behind the box popped up is another box (that goes away then the dialog box is closed) saying: "Now printing page 1 of 1'Book1' on theHP Officejet Pro 861 on 0" The format of these messages does seem strange now that I look at it so carefully while trying to type EXACTLY what I see. I think I will try to shorten the name of the printer. Once again, Respectfully submitted for analysis, review, suggestions, and criticism. Tom

KDE: After new font install Times New Roman lags/crashes OpenOffice

Hallo all,
This problem has been troubling me since I first switched to Linux with Open Suse a couple years back. I got around it on Kubuntu without installing new fonts...
But the other day I decided to give it a go, thinking it might be a bug in KDE3 that was fixed in 4. So I installed a ton of fonts for Photoshopping and now, just like the first time, Times New Roman looks ugly in OpenOffice and if I'm trying to open a document that's .doc or .rtf and written in Times it lags Writer and typically crashes instead of opening. This is a problem since friends send me stuff all the time and they are Windows users.
Strangely if I print with Times it looks like it's supposed to but otherwise it's ugly. It looks this way in KOffice, too. I'm not so much concerned with that as I am with the lagging and crashing Writer, though.
If this is a bug then it must be pretty old. Has anyone else encountered this before?
The Defaults button is also grayed out in the KDE Font Installer. Anyone know why? If I can just revert to default with fonts then I will.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!
I have installed the MS fonts. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. This problem only started when I installed a bunch of new fonts that I've collected over the years for Photoshopping.
Using the replacement thing doesn't work, either; whenever I open a Times New Roman doc the font is still the same. It only freezes or crashes for really long documents but that's still a problem for me. Also it looks really ugly.
I'd honestly be fine if I could just restore the defaults but the Defaults button is grayed out in the font installer
I only assume that that would fix it, though. I think the problem is that one of the fonts I installed messed up Times New Roman. The problem is that I've got hundreds of em and I don't know which ones are mine and which ones came with KDE/MS fonts.

Arial and Times New Roman fonts gone - Office 2008

About a month ago, I began noticing that I could not see any text or figures in various Excel spreadsheets and Word documents that used Times New Roman or Arial fonts. I had not had a similar problem in the past 3+ years I have owned my Mac Pro with Office for Mac 2008. I can see text after I select the entire document or page or worksheet and change the font - but there has to be a better solution, right?
Times New Roman, for example, appears as a font in the "All Fonts" collection and the "User" collection on my Mac. It does not appear in the "Computer" collection in Font Book, and when I try to drag it there from the "All Fonts" collection (for example), I get an error message that this is a duplicate. Many, many, many, many rounds of validating and deleting fonts have ensued. If the durned font isn't a duplicate, then it gets turned "OFF", and I can't turn it back "ON" without getting an error message again.
Instead of burning 5 more hours on Google trying to figure this out, I thought I would try Discussions... Is there really no other option than trying to explore 4 different font folders on my computer and moving files here and there, thither and yon, etc., etc.?

I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5 and then to 10.6. On the move to 10.6, I found a number of fonts, including Arial and Times New Roman, that were broken; e.g. would display on the screen in a Word document but appear blank when sent to a printer.
The problem seems to involve conflicts between old and new copies of the same fonts. The solution that worked for me was to find and delete the old ones. Specifically:
Look at /Library/Fonts and /Users/(your_name)/Library/Fonts in two side-by-side finder windows.
Sort both by name, and scroll through the two lists looking for the duplicates.
Note: if one has a file extension such as .ttf or .ttc and the other doesn't, they're still duplicates.
For each duplicate found, verify that the copy in the /Users/(your_name)/Library/Fonts folder is the older of the two (all of mine were); then drag the older one to an empty folder on your desktop.
When you're finished, test to verify that the problem is solved; then delete the folder of old fonts.

The times new roman font is wider set on some of my document compared to others

I am writing multiple essays right now, yay college, in iwork Pages. On one of them, the font has more space in between the letters and on the other is is more narrow set. I have the same font settings (Times New Roman, regular and double spaced) for both of my documents so I can't figure out why the fonts look different. they have about the same number of words and yet one of them is longer by almost half a page. I like the way the wider-spaced font looks so I'm trying to figure out how to make the narrow spaced font in one essay look like the wider spaced font in in the other essay.
Can anyone help? :/

Check in Font Book whether you have 2 versions of Times New Roman installed, you may have got a second from an installation of MsWord.
Is one of the documents perhaps converted from a Word .doc?
Also check:
Inspector > Text > Text > Spacing > Character
