Barcode fonts 128 and 39 "shrink" when exported to PDF

Hello,
Crystal reports recommends using either IDAutomation or Azalea barcode fonts for reports.
We are using IDAutomation. Both the 128 and the 39 encoded fonts work fine when
printing. However when we export to a PDF file the fonts "shrink" down to a tiny box and
are both un-scannable and nearly invisible.
At this point in time, does anyone know of any fonts that can be used in v.XI which can
be exported to PDF and be scannable? We are using the RDC and so are stuck with v.XI.
Is the highest service pack for R1 (I believe it is SP4) of any help with this issue?
If you know if answers to the above are negative please respond anyway.
Also, I you know of any threads which deal with the "incredible shrinking font" issue,
please mention them.
Thank you,
Joe

HI, Joe;
The previous post was for the incorrect verison of Crystal Reports from what you are using.
Have a look at this Note referring to Crystal Reports XI R1:

  • Images downsized and converted when exporting to PDF

    I have Pagemaker 7.0.1 installed on Virtual XP so that I can help out a family member.
    Pagemaker's embedded Acrobat 4 was not working properly so I installed my Acrobat 9.0 on Virtual XP. This unfortunately has not solved the problem, which is:
    My images are greyscale and 300 ppi when imported into Pagemaker. When exported to PDF using Acrobat 9.0, the images are being converted to CMYK and exported at about 50% of the actual size. Interestingly, those images that are only at 200 ppi are converted but not downsampled.
    This is happening no matter how I fiddle with the settings. Happens to both jpegs and tiffs.
    I found an old thread on another forum where this problem occurred but a solution was not found or posted.
    Any ideas?
    Michelle

    This reply is a series of comments and suggestions rather than a definitive answer.
    1. Your set up is less than perfect, if not unstable, and will be prone to all sorts of bizarre behaviours.
    2. Never copy/paste a graphic or table into PageMaker.  Always use the Place command. The only "exception" would be that you can copy and paste a properly Placed graphic from within your PageMaker document.
    When placing images in a PageMaker file, the following message appears: “The graphic in the linked file would occupy xxxxxxx bytes in the publication. Include the complete copy in the publication anyway?” The correct answer to this question is always "NO".
    (You can permanently avoid this popup in future docs by unchecking "store copy in publication" under Element -> Link Options with no publication open. You can do the same to avoid further prompts in pre-existing documents.)
    3. Try updating PM to Ver 7.0.1a which had a better Export… AdobePDF…macro. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=34&platform=Windows 
    4. In PageMaker’s Print dialogue, click on the Options button, and check "Write PostScript to File." Select the "Normal" radio button. Set both Type 1 and TrueType fonts to download. As always, set the Send TIF/Images option to Normal and NOT Optimized. Make other settings elsewhere in the print dialog as desired, such as "paper" size, crop marks, separations, etc.
    5. With your non-standard setup, try the two stage print then distill process. Create a PS file using a postscript printer file, then load Distiller and convert the PS file to PDF.  Note: if you have hyperlinks in your PMD file, they will not appear in your PDF and need to be re-created using Acrobat.
    6. It's time to leave PM and move on to InDesign - see it as PM Ver 13. 
    7. Aternatively, use PM7 on a contemporary Win2K PC.  http://bigjohnd.org.uk/PageMakerExportPDF/index.htm

  • Font shrinks when exported to PDF, again.

    CA Forum: Exporting
    I recently ported my application from classical asp to asp.net and upgraded Crystal Reports XI to Release 2 (6/4/2007 files).  The KBase c2019491 article resolved the font scaling issue I was having with my old application but doesn't work with my dot-net version.   I added the ForceLargerFont=1 under the Suite 11.5 keys which did fix the scaling when I export from the Crystal Report Designer but not when a PDF is created through CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export().
    Anybody find any other tricks?

  • Distorted font when exporting to pdf

    I'm using Tahoma font and trying to bold certain sections.  The bolded portions look odd (strange little boxes and fill is not quite solid)   when exported to pdf and viewed digitally,  The printed document is just fine however.   The bolded portion, when viewing with  acrobat pro, or adobe reader is just not crisp. I had adjusted the stroke setting of the bolded portions and thought this might be the problem, so I have tried bolding using both the regular font "Tahoma bold" and also using "Tahoma Regular" and increasing the stroke.  The effect is the same. 
    As the document will be both printed and viewed online, I want to make sure that I am sending something that will be viewed as crisply and professionally as possible, no matter how it is viewed.
    Any ideas what my problem might be?

    I wondered if that was my problem so I changed everything back to regular "tahoma bold' but I still have the problem.  I'll attach a screen capture

  • When exporting to PDF fonts are replaced

    I have had this happen several times when exporting to PDF from CS6 with no font errors, all the fonts have been changed in the PDF to another font. Not the default either, but just a different font altogether.
    Has anyone heard of this or experienced this?

    It is pretty easy to determine the fonts are wrong by visual inspection followed by the text edit tool in Acrobat X to confirm what font it is. The original fonts on this particular file were Gotham and they were replaced by Helvetica and our default missing font is Courier. I have found numerous threads with the same or similar problem dating back to September 2014 where they were blaming Indesign CC for the problem, with another person replying they had the same issue with CS6. Some of the advice given to them was to load the fonts locally rather than across a network to a server. The problem is not repeatable that is to say when you notice the issue with your PDF you open the file and export it again and the fonts are now correct with no changes to the file or the way you loaded the fonts. What is alarming is this is intermittent with no font warning while exporting or any further font warnings if the PDF is Normalized through Kodak Prinergy. It is like the postscript code is being written with a replacement font.
    I have enclosed the thread I found and we are going to load fonts locally to see if this helps, if you have any other advice it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Problem with subscript and superscript in tables when exporting in .pdf

    When I put some words in superscript (or subscript) in a table, a bug occurs when exporting in pdf (whit export or print either). All the words in the cell after the subscript part disappear in the pdf version. The rest of the table or the document isn't affected. It's really strange and it has occured since I shifted for the 5 version of Pages...

  • Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

    Hi there,
    We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
    We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
    - Report Title
    - Runt Date and Time
    - Page No
    And text area which displays 'Last Page'
    Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
    Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
    Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
    The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
    But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
    - Report title on first page only.
    - text area on all pages
    All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
    Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
    Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
    Thanks in advance for your help...

    but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
    Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
    In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
    If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

    I also happens when I try to export movies with Motion 5.
    Does anyone have the same problem with my new iMac?

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
    find . $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

  • Formatting and alignment issues in Crystal Reports when exported to PDF

    Hi Experts,
    When we export the crystal reports 2013 reports to PDF we are facing issues with formatting and alignment. The columns are overlapping and also for some column's data, we are able to see only some parts of text when exported to PDF.
    Data source for these reports is EHP 7 (SAP ECC 6.0), BO 4.1, Crystal reports 2013.
    As these reports are on priority, your help and suggestions are much appreciated.
    Looking forward to hear from you guys.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vijay.

    Hi Vijay,
    Search for the following in the search bar at the top right of SCN's page:
    ForceLargerFonts
    UsePrecisePositioningForText
    TruncationAdjustment
    All these are registry keys that you might need to apply on the machine.

  • Lightroom 5.4 reaches 10% and crashes when exporting a slideshow video.

    Lightroom 5.4 reaches 10% and crashes when exporting a slideshow video every time. I have Abobe Premiere elements 10, which works fine for creating a slideshow. Could there be a conflict? Any suggestions most welcome as this problem is driving me bom-boms.

    Thanks so much ... just tried it and it worked perfectly. I just used a small external drive to transfer them, and ticked the option to 'copy and import photos to new location', so not only the catalogue, but also the photos themselves are on my iMac. Very simple. Thanks.

  • Fontissue when Exporting to PDF CS5

    Commented on linked thread and advised to start new tread.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/651071?tstart=0
    When Exporting to PDF from ID CS5 I have seen font displace and disappear.
    Have done some tests since my post on linked tread, and find out, using PDF/X_1a:2001 (PDF version 1.3), it works fine. But when I use PDF version 1.4 and above fonts randomly dissappears. See first picture below.
    OK, for me as this is only going to print, but with 1.3 we loose hyperlink and bookmarks if used in other media.
    Have seen font displace when Exporting to PDF, (Second picture) and in this case there was no way to get it right with options mentioned above. Only way it came out right was to outline the font...and also PS - Distiller worked fine.
    I have found my workarounds, but I would really like to trust the Export to PDF in the future as that is the way Adobe advice us to use.
    Workaround 1. Use PDF version 1.3
    Workaround 2.
    In (application folder) Adobe Indesign CS5 - Presets
    Make a new folder - PPDs
    Put (ADPDF8.PPD or ADPDF9.PPD) into this folder. (I had a backup of these files, cant find them online...!?!?)
    Makes it possible to print PS from InDesign and use Distiller.

    @Clement,
    We've determined the root case of the text shifts you're seeing in at least one of the cases. In the Animals_Me_Spreads.indd file is having text drop out due to soft returns at the ends of Text on Path objects. We are investigating what would be necessary to fix it, and would hope that we can address it in a future update or release. In the meantime, you should be able to elimiate the problems by eliminating the use of soft returns on Text on Path objects, for example, replace them with hard returns, or limit one story to a path and make the second path contain a separate story.
    Sincerely,
    Matthew

  • Error in character spacing when exporting to pdf from word 07

    I am having trouble with exporting to pdf from MS Word 07.  The character spacing throughout the document is wacky.  This also happens when exporting to pdf from a GIS program.
    Any help?

    I use the term export because that is how it is done in the GIS software that I use - ArcMap 10.
    In MS Word I access Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 through the print menu. I am using Windows 7.
    I do not always have this trouble, but it started yesterday on a 30 page word doc and then after that, it started on an ArcMap doc.
    As for embedding fonts, when I check the Word doc as you suggested, i see many different fonts listed.  Some are embedded, some embedded subset, some are not embedded at all.  I use styles to manage font types and heading levels.  There is nothing fancy about it - all Times New Roman.

  • Format Changes when Exporting to PDF

    I'm using Crystal 12.0 and have an issue very similar to these threads listed below. 
    While viewing a report on my development machine, all is fine.  I can export to PDF and the formatting is OK. 
    However, when the report is exported to PDF on the web server, the spacing between some of the text is off.  The spacing is used for a CrossTab cell in a "Display String" that I changed using "Format Field."   All that's supposed to happen here is several spaces are used to move the text under the proper column. 
    When exporting to PDF on the web, the text moves over to the left like it's missing some of the spaces.  I wondering if the below threads apply to Crystal 12.0. 
    Thread:1220516 and
    Format Changes when Exporting to PDF
    Thanks kindly for your assistance,
    -Marty

    I'm having a very similar problem using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. Everything is perfect when running in VS 2008, it takes the report and exports it to PDF format via VB code. The PDF file is idenitcal to the report. However, when run on the server the one page report (when exported to PDF) gets chopped into ten 4x4 chunks. So the PDF file is 10 pages....its like puzzle pieces of the original.
    I've drawn a bunch of lines on the report to look like boxes - perhaps this is causing issues? The font on the report is Arial.
    The server has the 10_5 runtime installed and it is set to the same default printer as the development PC. I have been stuck on this for days and would really appreciate any advice you may have.
    Thanks!

  • Indesign ME CS6: Punctuation marks change direction when exporting to PDF

    When exporting to PDF (for press) -  some punctuation marks (! & ") beahve as if they're "left -> right" (in the PDF only!) instead of "right->left" - as they appear in the open file.

    If I understand this correctly, then before you opened a PC-sourced INDD, this never happened? And now it happens with all new files? Was that PC-sourced InDesign file from an English non-ME install of ID?
    If doing so is not a big deal for you, I would almost want to suggest the "Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" approach coined by Sigourney Weaver's character in Aliens. I.e. something happened to your ME install by simply opening up a non-ME file, and clearing prefs didn't fix it, so I'd be ready to uninstall, run the Adobe Clean tool, and reinstall.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    I hope that I'm wrong, and that there is some kind of preference that can be tweaked to get this to work correctly. I'd start by removing Font Explorer X entirely. It's also worth trying to make a new user in OS X and seeing if a fresh user experiences the same issue.

  • Text dropping when exporting to PDF

    I'm working on an very large poster for a theatre company. The poster has an image, and uses the font Gotham for the text. When I export to PDF from InDesign 5.5, some of the text disappears. I used effects on the title, which disappears, but also some text at the same size/color as other text that does show up. It can't be a corrupt font issue because it's showing up correctly in most areas. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

    I'm using Acrobat X. I've attached a cap of the InDesign poster, and what I get when exporting to PDF -- I lose the title, and "Directed by..." (which is the same type size/color as the playwright). Also, I have overprint preview checked for automatic (and tried all the other settings, too).
