Hi all,
I need help for output Adobe.
I have create a Adobe Form in LCD (SFP). I change the font from Arial to NexusSans. In the LCD Layout the text will shown correctly in the font Nexus.
The printing is controlled over an application form in SAP.
if I print the Adobe form from transaction piqst10 -> corresponding with device is file. The result PDF in the spool is created, but the font in the PDF is ARIAL and NOT NEXUS.
What can I do, to get the right font in my PDF?
We use SLCM, LCD 8.0; Clients: Win XP and SAP-GUI 7.2. The font Nexus... is installed on my Client - it is a licensed font.
Additional Information: We have old SmartForms which use Nexus too. If I print the SmartForm I get the right Nexus font.
Many thanks for your help

I've got an message: "Schriftlizenz für NexusSans-Regular erlaubt kein Einbetten. Schrift wird als Referenz verwendet"
"Font license for NexusSans-Regular does not allow embedding. Font is used as a reference."

Maybe that could help
 1. Create a subdirectory called fonts below the /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/FontManagerService directory.
 2. Create a subdirectory called customer below the fonts/ directory created in the previous step.
 3. Copy your fonts into the /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/FontManagerService/fonts/customer directory.
 4. Restart the Document Services Font Manager for the changes to take effect. (See How to Restart a Service.)
 5. Also restart the application com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices for the changes to take effect. (See How to Restart an Application.)

SD (quote) Adobe Forms Missing

Hello,
We have a need to issue output from SD Quote and would like to use Adobe forms for this. However, I can not find any interface or form related to SD quotes or orders.
Is there a patch we need to load? If not, what is the names for such forms. We currently upgrade to NW 7.0
Thanks,
Alex

I will get corrected by other SAP colleagues, but I prefer to develop my own form every time possible. In SAP standard forms (I have worked with MMM MEDRUCK form for all the MM prints for example) are
A) BIG
B) not nice to read
C) not nice to change
If you think you are not a skilled developer, do not be afraid, this technology is mostly visual after you got the data loaded from SAP tables/ infotypes. And this technology is widely used and will be inevitable to learn it:))
SDN guys including me can provide some more info on development:)) Have fun with Adobe

Font Warning - Missing font - Arial Bold

Hello All,
I have searched around for this one, and not found the answer. I have just rebuit my PC (windows XP) and
re-installed all software. I am now getting the missing font dialog for one of my fla files.
I check "Edit/Font Mapping" and it says that Arial Bold is missing. When I check the fonts in my "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts"
directory Arial Bold is there as a true type font (ARIALBD.TTF).
The only font that show up in my Flash (and Photoshop too) is "Arial." Any hints on how to fix this?
I will guess it is some sort of install error or system error? I did not have this issue before the rebuild.
Thanks,

How to use MICR fonts in Adobe forms (webdynpro java

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to print some MICR codes (for checks) through Adobe Forms.
I have installed some true type MICR fonts in windows and Adobe Font Manager (in ADS) as well.
It is visible in the Adobe Form design time (Font palette) and when I use the font for text, it is visible in preview too. But when I run the web dynpro application, in the online form it is converted into Standard font (Times new Roman).
Is there anyway to handle this issue.
Please let me know.
I am using NWDS 7.0.1
Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1
SAP NW 2004s SP14
Thank you,
Vasu

Problem with Helve font in Adobe forms

Hi Gurus,
I am working on an Adobe form.It contains Helve Font size 10 and 14. But I am not able to find Helve Font in the font pallette while creating that form in live cycle designer or in SAP. Is there any option to add fonts? How can I make Helve font availanle? Or is there any other alternative?
Awaiting your valuable answers.
Thanks,
Raje.

Hi Raj,
As Harman says, font must be installed on your computer at design time.
And if you want to use the font at runtime, the font must be available to the ADS.
Just take a look at:

Adobe Naskh Medium Font is missing

Hey there! I reinstalled Photoshop after a fresh installation of Windows 7. Unfortunately all Adobe Fonts are missing. I'm specifically searching for the Adobe Naskh Medium font as the contract for my weddingphotohraphy is written in this font.
Where can I download those missing font? Is this even possible? What could be the error?

Without knowing exactly what fonts and how the file was created we can't tell you much. Fonts have variants and versions just like anyone else and if someone e.g. uses an old TrueType or PostScript font and not an OpenType font substitution will be almost inevitable. Just the same things like faux bold and italic can cause unwanted font substitutions as can many other things like different language settings...

Change font in Adobe Form in the interface

Hi all,
I have one issue changing the font in adobe forms.
In the interface I have as import one string. With this string I have to generate the PDF and I need to change the font.
Here is an example:
Import string: "this is an [[FONT=CURIEL]]example of [[N]] adobe [[SIZE=15]] forms"
the characters [[ ]] indicate an scape sequence.
[[FONT=CURIEL]] means that all the following text should be in curiel font.
[[N]] means new line
[[SIZE=15]] menas that all the following text should be in size 15.
All this text I has to be added to a string variable and paste in the PDF.
I know that I can add a new line with "cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline"
I know that with Javascrit I can change the font and the size, but for that I have to change all the text.
Is there any way to change some text inside the variable and not all of it?
Thanks!
Regards,
Andres

Hi UmaS,
Thanks for your answer.
I can't use floating text because I don't know how many different fonts I will have and I can't create floating text dynamically.
Any other idea?

MICR font in Adobe Form

Hi All,
I am working on Adobe Form for A/P Check(Cheque) through F110 transaction. In Adobe Live cycle Designer(and in ADS), I don't see MICR font option in the list of available fonts. I know it's there in smartforms and Scripts. But how can I get the font in Adobe?
I already searched in the forum but didn't get any solution. I appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
Thanks!

I found these 2 threads (ADS Font Installation and Fonts problem) which say that you might add your font in designer.xdc or design.xdc file in \usr\sap\<systemid>\SYS\global\AdobeDocumentServices\lib\, and for windows, you may install in /winnt/fonts
There is also some [documentation for XDC fonts in Adobe support website|http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/wb_help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=001172.html]

Adobe Form's First Page printing perfectly on 132 column sheet but further pages prints with small font size

Dear All,
We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.
efforts made:-
Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.
Regards,
Ashkar Rizvi

See my answers below:
a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

Adobe Form - Print choice of bold or not bold font

We have an Adobe form that prints sales order line items that are followed by their scheduling data (if any). So, each order line item could be followed with one or more scheduling line items or none. Example:
(Order line) 10 9055450 7,000 EA <other data>
(Schedule lines Expected Ship Date: 5,000 EA 05/30/2011
 for the order line) Expected Ship Date: 2,000 EA 07/16/2011
This is working fine using a subform but now we want to print the scheduling line items either as bold or not bold depending on some logic. So, we want this:
(Order line) 10 9055450 7,000 EA <other data>
(Schedule lines Expected Ship Date: 5,000 EA 05/30/2011
 for the order line) Expected Ship Date: 2,000 EA 07/16/2011
We have an indicator set for each scheduling line item that indicates if the schedule line is to be printed as bold or not bold (schedules-bold_line = u2018Xu2019).
Is there any way to override the font settings in the Layout using Script Editor?
Weu2019ve tried using Script Editor (at a upper level subform) to set the presence (hidden/visible) of two different subforms (one to print as bold and one not bold) but that printed both subforms.
Weu2019ve tried using Alternative nodes (true/false) that check the bold line indicator. This works but it prints the wrong data because there are direct binding references to multiple levels of repeating data. That is, instead of printing the schedule lines for order line item 10, it prints the schedule line items for order line item 20.
(Order line) 10 9055450 7,000 EA <other data>
(Schedule line Expected Ship Date: 1,000 EA 06/01/2011
 for the next order line)
How would I use relative binding in Alternative nodes?
Is there a better method to accomplish this task?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Radhika - Thank you so much for your answer! You helped me find the solution. I ended up using FormCalc and this is the code that worked in the Ready Layout event of the EXPECTEDSHIPDATE subform :
data.BODY_PAGE.TABLE.ITEM_VALUES.ZLINE.TEXTSUBFORM.EXPECTEDSHIPDATE::ready:layout - (FormCalc, both)
if ( $.BOLD_LINE_IND[*] == "X" ) then
$.ShipQty[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.ShipQty[*].caption.font.weight = "bold"
$.DelvDate[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.UOM[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.PlantName[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.PlantName[*].caption.font.weight = "bold"
else
$.ShipQty[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.ShipQty[*].caption.font.weight = "normal"
$.DelvDate[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.UOM[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.PlantName[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.PlantName[*].caption.font.weight = "normal"
endif
The EXPECTEDSHIPDATE subform is bound to the Schedules table that contains ShipQty, etc. The BOLD_LINE_IND field contains the value that toggles the print between bold and normal.
The key to making this work was to correctly format the condition and code and to find the right event to place the code in.
Thanks again for your help!

Dynamically Adjusting the Font of Field based on length of vaule - Adobe forms

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where in i need to adjust the font of the field dynamically based on the length of the value.
There is a less space in the adobe form layout and if there is long length (Above 50 Char) value coming then it is showing in multiple lines overlapping on another field.

Message error from Adobe Indesign : Default font Substituted for missing do.

Hello,
Message error from Indesign : Default font substituted for missing font
I am currently using version "Adobe InDesign CS6 Middle East," which normally supports the Arabic language ...
The problem is that the characters display correctly and others not! Especially this "font" called "MunaPlain", this version was created in 1996. (on the Internet, I could not find a new version!)
According to research, test... i have found that Mac OS X Lion that causes this error!
My question is:
Is that I could uninstall Mac OS X Lion to return to an older version as MAC OS X Leopard?
Is there an update or plugin indesign for Arabic? (except ScribDoor, because in this case, it is useless)
Thank you!

For questions regarding Adobe apps, it is probably really best to ask Adobe or use their forums:
http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa
I am amazed that an arabic font from 1996 would work correct anywhere today given the changes in technology that have occurred. Is it really not possible for you to use a modern Unicode Arabic font for your work? There are lots of them -- Apple gives you a half-dozen or so. And there is a list at
http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Arabic.html
Whether you can downgrade your os depends on your hardware. If it came new with 10.7 installed, then it is not possible.

Hi Sreenivasulu
Not sure if this will help you... but just some pointers....
How about triggering the javascript on selection of a particular record in the table...? i.e. call the particular javascript function only when some row in the table is selected and not otherwise.
About row selection, you can try using some type of UI control like radio button and through iteration of the table, you can find out which row's radio button has been selected..
(Please post the query in Adobe Forms section for more hints and suggestions... )
Thanks
Deepak
