Avenir Oblique fonts not embedding in exported PDF

Hi
I am new to this forum and could not find the answer to my question through my search. So......
I have created a number of Indesign documents and exported them to pdfs - the problem is when I use any of my Avenir Oblique fonts they do not print - the entire line is printed in my character. I have checked that the fonts are in my indeisgn folder - I have printed the pages directly from Indesign and they print properly. It is only when I try to export them. I understood that indesign embeds all fonts so I am not sure where to go from here. (If I use arial oblique that does print)
Any suggestions or ideas?
Using CS 1
Indesign version 3.0.1
Thanks,
Anna

Tried your suggestion in the export said I had to put value between 1-100% so I tried 1% - did not work.
I plan to email www.linotype.com and see if they have a way to assist.
Thank you both for your assistance.

Fonts Not Embedding Consistently with PDF Export - Inconsistent Fix and Unknown Cause

I have had ongoing problems with PDF export from FrameMaker. Sometimes the correct fonts do not embed in the PDF and Times New Roman is substituted. The problem appears and disappears and is causing me a lot of lost time and frustration.
I am running FrameMaker 9.0 fully patched on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have seen people complain about this issue and am familiar with the suggested fixes. However, the exact cause and solution eludes me because the problem continues to recur and I am only able to recover with guesswork and workarounds.
Initially I did the following:
ACROBAT PDF SETTINGS
- In the printer properties for Adobe PDF settings I turned off the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts."
ACROBAT DISTILLER SETTING
Under "Font" Settings I changed the following:
- Under "Settings/Font Locations" I added the font folder for Technical Communication Suite 2.0 and made sure all the fonts existed there and in the Windows default font directory.
- Under "Settings/Edit Adobe PDF Setting/Fonts" I changed the following options:
- Selected "Embed all fonts"
- Under "Embedding" chose "Always Embed" for the target fonts.
I tweaked these settings for hours and got no results. Then I rebooted and the problem had magically disappeared. I fixed the issue in the same way on another machine and the results were permanent and I was just happy to finally have it fixed, But this time it didn't last.
I should note that upon reboot, when I used the stock "PDF Job Options," the correct fonts still embedded, leading me to believe that the fix had nothing to do with the changes I made to Distiller settings.
After reboot I generated PDFs with the correct fonts embedded. Then I shut down FM, but left the system running. The next morning I opened FM again and the same problem occurred.
So I rebooted again -- and the problem disappeared again. I therefore thought maybe the issue fixes on reboot but recurs when you shut down FM and reopen. So I shut down FM again and reopened, but it is still working fine for the moment.
I verified that the Adobe PDF settings under "Printers & Devices" that I turned off (Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts) remained correctly unchecked through all these changes.
I would really like to know why this happens so I can resolve it permanently and avoid more lost time.
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

The common theme I'm seeing here is that the setting edits you make in
Distiller through the FM "Save As PDF" option don't seem to take effect.
Do you know if that is true or could you elaborate on the notorious nature
of this method for me?
>
There are too many potential and transient problems to list. The only thing
I can say is that I've been an active member of the FrameUsers listserv
(http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/listinfo/framers) since FM version 6.0,
circa 2001, and probably 95% of the PDF problems reported there have been
fixed simply by using print to Adobe PDF (or to Acrobat Distiller in older
PDF versions), instead of using Save as PDF. Common advice there has always
been to avoid Save as PDF and even some Adobe employees have recommended
against using it. It doesn't matter which FM version.
The once-busy FrameUsers listserve has been fading away, recently, as this
new Adobe forum software allows reading via e-mail, and attachment of
screenshots. Even if you look around on this forum now, you'll probably
find that there are two main fixes for issues with PDF. One is NOT using
Save as PDF, which seems to fix a whole bunch of issues. The other is the
use of a Windows hotfix to squash a Windows OS bug that causes dropped
characters in PDFs.
In the rare instances that someone has issues with printing to PDF, they are
almost always related to errors in settings. Or occasionally someone can't
embed fonts because they are trying to the embed the virtual fonts that come
with their printer driver instead of fonts that have actually been installed
on their computer. (The fonts are hard-wired on their printer, so the system
can use them but not embed them.)

Fonts not embedding when making PDF from PM 7.1

In making a PDF from a PM file, I am having trouble getting the fonts to embed. The interesting thing is that the fonts that are not embedding are Times Roman and Arial; other fonts are being embedded. These fonts are installed and I have the "Embed Box" checked in the job type font options.
I'm using Windows XP SP2 OS and Acrobat 7.0 Pro.
Should the fonts be in a special folder ? Not sure what I'm mimssing here . . . .
I had SP3 installed for the OS and was having no trouble . . . . but then InDesign CS2 would not open PM files . . . At your recommendation I uninstalled SP3 but had to reinstall the OS which meant reinstalling PM and In Design CS2.
Any suggestions?

PM7 will run just on WinSP3 provided it's a clean install. That is, you install WinXP SP2, clean, straight the setup disk, and then apply the service pack 3 update. The usual problem is the unnecessary junk which Windows collects which screws things up. See here: PM7 and WinXP SP3
I've now moved onto the Win7 and not even bothered with PM7, so I'm going on memory.
If InD CS2 says your PM files are corrupted, then I'd be worried. It's time to run diagnostics and make sure you have backups.
Re: the fonts, I suggest you check all your style palettes.
You could just create a PS file using any PS printer driver with the output as FILE:, and the load Distiller, input the PS file and create the PDF. That's about as fool proof as it gets.
Also see my now ancient trouble shooter about creating PDFs using the Export… AdobePDF… macro here: Installing and Setting Up PM7's Export… Adobe PDF… using the “Application” CD-ROM In this cae, make sure you are running PM7.01a - the update is here: PageMaker 7.0.1 update - English as there were some glytches when creating PDFs in the earlier macro.

Fonts not embedded in PDF -- how to fix?

I've been given a PDF that I need to place in an ID file (ID CS3).
Several fonts are not embedded in the PDF (Univers and Stone Informal) so Adobe MM fonts are being substituted, and I get error messages about the missing fonts when I place the PDF pages in my ID file.
I do happen to have all of the missing fonts, but loading them (and restarting Acrobat) didn't fix the problem. The PDF was created on Mac (according to the properties) so maybe my PC version of Acrobat isn't recognizing my fonts as being the same (font internal names or something being different?). When I try using Text Touch-Up, I'm told that, for example, the Stone Informal system font isn't available.
Is there any way to fix this problem? I have no way of getting the source files or another copy of the original PDF with fonts embedded.
FWIW, when I open one of the PDF pages in PS, PS does find my versions of the fonts and gives me no error messages. And I can see that the fonts are showing up correctly in the PS file.
But I'd rather not use a bitmap -- I want to use the original PDF if possible (if I can figure out how to embed my fonts in it).
The final product, BTW, will be a press-ready PDF of the ID file.
TIA,
Marlene

I've got Acrobat 8.
So if there's no way to embed fonts in the original PDF, I assume they also will not embed when I drop the PDF into my ID file and then create a new PDF of the ID file?
I guess my only viable option is to open the PDF in PS and save the pages as TIFFs, and drop those into ID. I really hate to do that -- too much tiny text that gets fuzzy.

Fonts not Embedded

Hi everyone,
I am using InDesign CS 5.5. We make pdf but my some fonts not embedded. We use all fonts are opentype.
(1) We use font Agent Pro then same problem appear
(2) If we place fonts in InDesign Fonts folder again same problem appear in PDF files.
Kindly suggest what we do thank you so much.

>my some fonts not embedded
Rhe only font in that image that doesn't say "embedded" -- the one you highlight -- says "embedded subset". That is the SAME as "embedded".
(Not really of course, but the difference is much less than with what you seemed to think: that if a font status is NOT showing the exact text "embedded", then it must mean it is "not embedded". That is simply not true.)

Fonts not embedding when "save as" pdf

Version: Photoshop CS4 64 bit on Windows Vista 64.
Issue: fonts not getting embedded during conversion to pdf.
I am attempting to save files for commercial printing in Photoshop pdf format (file-save as-pdf). In the past, using previous versions of Photoshop, the fonts have always been embedded in the pdf document when I choose the "Press Quality" pdf preset. However, now, even when I simplify my Photoshop source file down to the most basic level (one non-background layer with one line of type using a font I KNOW has successfully embedded before) the resulting pdf reports NO embedded fonts (no fonts at all, actually) and when sized up a great deal in Acrobat Pro shows pixelation as though the type was converted to a graphic. If I open the resulting pdf file in Photoshop the text is still editable though...
I have Photoshop files that were built using a previous version of Photoshop (CS2). When I open these in Photoshop CS4 and save as pdf the fonts are embedded just as they always were so the problem lies not with the CS4 version of Photoshop itself but rather with NEW files created by it. It seems that any NEW files I create using Photoshop CS4 wil not embed their fonts when saved as pdfs.
Help !!?!! (example file attached)

Good points. To test that out I tried substituting different non-commercial fonts (Arial, Tahoma, Times, etc.) and then saving as a pdf. No matter what fonts I try they don't get embedded. So that would seem to rule out the idea that Photoshop CS4 is now restricting the embedding of fonts to non-commercial ones.
I have poured through the save-as-pdf options in GREAT detail - have tried many various options and don't see any settings that have either made a difference or seem relevant. According to Adobe documentation anytime you select "Press Quality" as the preset the fonts should automatically be embedded.
The really odd thing is, if I take a psd file that was originally created using a previous version of Photoshop, delete all the layers and then create one single line type layer so that it is identical in every way to my CS4 test file, any font I select gets embedded when I convert that file to pdf - same exact pdf preset - all file settings the same - everything! - except that it was originally created using a previous Photoshop version.
Does that make ANY sense??

Pictures not appearing on exported pdfs.

Hi,I am exporting reports in pdf format. I have a picture on the report in the report group header. I used the graphics picture to put the picture on the report. When the script runs and exports the report to pdf files, the picture is not appearing on the pdf files. Do anyone have any ideas?Thanks

HI Beat!
There's an excellent post on Adobe's site that walks through the differences. It's at http://www.adobe.com/type/topics/info9.html
However, I believe the caveat about Open Type fonts refers to their extended character set capabilities. You can still see issues with any font that is probably tied to the design and metrics of that particular font. The best course of action is to see if a font will perform under the watermark feature. If so then you're all set. If not—try a different font.
All your fonts will appear in the dropdown menu. Adobe is most likely just calling on the OS to serve up its list of installed fonts. That shouldn't be relied upon as an endorsement that all of them will function properly in watermark. This is really more of a font issue than an Adobe issue. I have many fonts that just don't respond well in certain programs. And it varies by font and by program so its hard to blame the app more than the font.

Crystal Report (visual studio 2005)-Hyperlink not working on exported PDF

I have created a crystal report by using VS 2005, there are some hyperlinks inside the report.
After i exported the report to PDF, I check the PDF file, none of the link contains inside the PDF file.
It seems a bug, i google this issue, some people can export to RTF first and then in RTF save as PDF, then the link should be there. I tried it, it works, but it totally mess up my report layout.
Please advise,
Tommy

Typing the terms "pdf export hyperlink crystal" in the search box at the top right corner of this page comes up with the following KB (5th hit):

"Messed" up report export to RTF does not tell me much either. A link to a screenshot will be great.

USPTO Upload rejected due to "font not embedded"

I am having trouble embedding fonts in my PDF documents. I am creating MSWord documents with TimesNewRoman font. I print (save) them to PDF. I use the Advanced Edit function "TouchUp Text Tool" to embed the fonts. And then save and close. I reopen the PDF and use the Advanced Edit function again to check if the fonts are embedded and "embed font" is checked and greyed out but it says "Cannot embed font".
Can anyone help me out here? I am trying to submit my patent applications using the USPTO EFS-Web system and it keeps rejecting it saying I need to embed fonts. It is their electronic system.
Thanks,
JohnInChicago

You say "Print (save)". Which is it.
You should be able to embed the fonts easily by printing to the Adobe PDF printer (and choosing to embed fonts). That is unless it's a font that isn't licensed to be embedded.

Launching an mp3 from a PDF when the sound file is not embedded in the PDF

I'm using InDesign CS5 to create an interactive PDF that will run from a website. I want to be able to launch a sound file from the PDF but I don't want to sound file to be embedded in the PDF. I thought I could create a hyperlink to the file, but when I click on the link in the PDF, the sound file does not run. Any ideas?
Thanks
Mark

I'm pretty sure that sound files must be embedded.

Links Not Working/Not Clickable in Exported PDFs? FIXED!

If you, like me, use Pages to create doc s and then export them to PDFs, the non-working links are a pain. But, after 20 minutes of playing around, I found a fix!
1. In the new version of Pages, export your document to a Word doc. Save it soemwhere on your computer.
2. Right-click on that Word doc in the Finder, Choose Open With > Pages (4.1) [Or just open Pages 4.1 yourself, then use File > Open and choose that new Word doc]
3. The old version of Pages opens your doc. Choose File > Export... and choose PDF. File will save where you choose, links active and working just like old times.
This is my first discussions post and hope it's useful! Let me know that it wokrs for any of you.

I, too, have been struggling to resinstate hyperlinks in PDF documents made from Pages - or even to create links within Preview. All this used to work fine until my recent upgrades, and I used it a lot.
So far I have found that links seem to work in PDFs created in the new Pages 5.0.1 but only in the first page of a document, whereas PDFs made from the old Pages 4.3 (iWork '09) seem to fare rather better.
So I suppose the conversion back to 4.3 would be a sensible course of action. Intriguingly, 5.0.1 does not seem to have replaced 4.3 on my hard drive, even though I trashed the icon for it on my Applications folder (before I realised that I would still need it)!
Apple doesn't seem to have made any statement about this so far, apart from a promise to restore functionality to Pages, but there does seem still to be a problem with Preview, or perhaps with the OS itself. I can't add links directly to PDFs in Preview. And even links created in Microsoft Word are not carried over into PDFs - not even on the first page.
I continue to experiment, but am frustrated by the loss of such an important and useful facility. Preview used to do most of what I needed for sharing documents; now it is sadly inadequate. Apple has boobed badly here.

Entered Verbiage not appearing in exported PDF version of form

Hello,
I have created an online application in Forms Central. It works great, but if the end-user enters too much verbiage in any of the sections, it is often cut-off in the exported PDF version. Is there a way to ensure all entered verbiage appears in the exported PDF version of the completed form?
Thank you.

Hi,
And now you can make the field taller in the design tab, so that you can print all the text.
Or you can print the Detail view.

D'oh! - Font not embedded in *live* iOS App.

Hello everyone,
Yay! Our first digital Magazine is live.
L+L MAG App
We have put a lot of work into it. Check it out
But now I want to cry
Because of this...
What's wrong?
The font (http://www.fontshop.com/fontlist/super_families/ff_din/) in one section of our app is not showing up correctly. On the menu in the 2nd screenshot you can (can't) see the arrows (Wingding Regular) turning into blocks.
We could not reproduce these errors during our local tests and we just realized this after the app went live.
What we have done
Submitted and packaged the App from the same Mac on which we designed the magazine (inDesign)
Tested the app multiple times locally on our iPads
Please get in touch with me
Oliver Ruehl

Hi,
Maybe I have to start from another angle with 2 questions:
1) How are fonts actually processed when packaged into an app?
We need to understand this for our inDesign production process for larger projects. What happens in detail?
2) Is there some kind of limitation if a font is not licensed for use on the web etc.?
We own all the rights to the fonts in our app, but are we missing something here in regards to the license?
Are some fonts not integrated if they miss a license e.g. for web use?
I'd be happy to hear from you soon

Arial Narrow Font not embedded PDF when generated on server

Hi,
I'm struggling with some font issues. My report contains only Arial or Arial Narrow subset font. These fonts are installed on all client and server machines. When I render the report locally and export it to pdf then everything works fine, the report looks
ok and when checking the pdf properties the Arial narrow font has been embedded. After deploying it to a SSRS server 2008 R2 and render it from this server the export to pdf converts the Arial Narrow font to Helvetica messing up my report.
Any ideas how to maintain the Arial Narrow font?
As far as I can tell every condition as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159713(SQL.100).aspx are met.

Hi hans0305,
According to your description that you have problem with the font in the PDF, The font type is correct when you export report to PDF in the Preview but font changed from Arial Narrow to Helvetica when export to PDF in the Report Server, right?
This problem is related to the font-embedding of PDF. The font Arial Narrow haven’t embedded successfully to the PDF. Please check in the client machine which the report server and report manger located to make sure the Arial Narrow font have been installed
correctly by enter the Control Panel and select the “Font”.
For the client machine, closing all instances of the PDF viewer then reopening them should fix the issue. If the issue still persists, you may need a full machine reboot to get the client/server to recognize the newly installed font, you can also try an
reinstall of the font Arial Narrow.

Fonts not embedding for iOS app in App Store

Hi all,
I'm having an issue using embedded fonts. Currently, I use 6 or so font files throughout my app. These fonts all display properly in the AIR simulator, as well as developer builds installed on the actual device. The problem comes about when I make actual builds for the App Store. The only thing I'm changing is the provisioning file and certificate, and yet none of these fonts display correctly. It looks like it's defaulting to Arial or something, like when you set embedAsCFF incorrectly.
I'm currently waiting on a build to be approved where I can switch between two versions of the fonts, one as embedAsCFF=true, the other as embedAsCFF=false.
Because the stock SDK wasn't working, I'm using Apache Flex 4.11 SDK, with AIR 13 beta and I'm SURE that I installed the Font Embedding tools with the SDK. I just realized while writing this post that Flex 4.12 is now available, so I'll try to download and make a build with that.
Does anyone have any idea why these fonts would be missing when going from the developer build to the App Store build? The intensely frusterating thing about this is that everything will work in the test builds, and a week later when my update makes it to the app store it isn't working and I have to wait another week to try to fix it.

Don't worry it's not your device. A lot of people using IO5 are having this problem for the past 6 hours. Apple should address it soon. If you need to search for apps you can either google the name of app in Safari and click on the link. This should open the app in the App Store. Other work around is if you have a program like AppShopper it will let you do a search that opens the App in the App Store.
