BEx broadcasting: Font types in pdf-documents

Hi folks,
I got a report designed in BEx report designer. In this report I use certain font types. However, when I broadcast this report to our SAP Netweaver Portal as pdf these font types get lost, i.e. the texts in the generated pdf-documents are in other fonts. Do I have to install these fonts on our system? If so, how can this be done? Where can I see the current standard fonts on our system?
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

Dear Thomas,
After creating a report in Report Designer,just go to Report->Execute.
This will open that report in Web Analyzer.Just check whether your font types are shown as you configured in the report.
If this works as expected,then you will get a report with configured fonts, after you broadcasted into portal.
Make sure that you made teh following settings for the report while broadcasting
Distribution Type : Broadcast to the Portal
Output Format : PDF
Under "General Precalculation" tab,
Portal Theme: SAP Standard
Proper "Layout" tab options.
Hope this will help you.
Please revert me in case of any clarifications.

Change font in a PDF document

Hi there!
I would like to change the font on a PDF document 'cause I have to take out some parts of it (copy into a .doc or similar)
The problem is when I do it, the original font is not recognized by text processor (stranges symbols appear).
I´m trying to change the font in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but I can´t edit It; the programm says that (not exactly, ´cause its in Spanish)
"The font change has not be done because the chosen font and the document´s fonts codification are different and It cant be solved."
Clicking on pdf´s properties, I see these fonts:
R11
R277
R677
All them are "personalize" codification and type 3.
I hope some in this forum could help me, ´cause I really need to extract some text of this PDF for work stuff.
Thank you, and sorry about my bad english...

I see where you can see fonts in Acrobat 9 Pro under Document Properties. But the poster was trying to help guide you in the right direction. Don't be malicious towards people who are here to HELP you.
try reading this document:
http://ballade.cs.ucla.edu/~kohcc/sigdacdrom/instruct/fonts.html
and especially this one from adobe's knowledgebase:

hope that helps.

Particular font for entire pdf document

Can i set a particular font for entire pdf document while designing pdf forms in LiveCycle Designer ES?
How can i do it?

Each object has its own settings for font. You can set the object to the font that you want and then drag it back onto the palette. It will ask you to overwrite the current one. As you drag the object back into the drawing area the new font will be used. This is true aof all properties of the object and not just font.
This is useful if you are creating a new form, but if one already exists then the easiest way is to open the XML source (right mouse click on the Design tab and choose XML source. Use the search facility to find all occurances of typeface and chnage each one to the font that you want. Save the XML and then all objects will have the same font.
Make sure that you make a backup of th eform before you play with the XML. There is no undo once the cahnges are committed.

Incorrect font display in pdf document(web view)

Adobe helpers,
I am encountering a very peculiar problem with incorrect display of fonts in pdf documents when viewed in a web browser. Briefly, the problem typically affects the first page of a pdf document, the font being displayed as an unidentified mix of large and very small, skinny type. Other pages may or may not be affected, and if one back-clicks to the previous page the text often displays the correct font, so the problem is in some (but not all) cases non-persistent. The problem however is resolved completely if I uncheck the 'display pdf in browser' option under edit>preferences in adobe reader. Fonts I use include Arial, Cambria, Franklin Gothic Book, and Garamond; as straight-up pdfs, the documents look fine. FYI, I have Adobe reader X 10.0.1 (Win 7) and 9.0 (Win XP sp3) installed on two different machines. Firefox 3.6 and IE9 are equally at fault. FWIW, all the pdf documents begin life as MS Word or Publisher 2010 documents, which are converted to pdf within these applications before publishing to web. Since I can't control how people choose to view web pdfs, I'm concerned that display of the prone documents is impaired when viewed in a web browser.
Not sure if this is a reader, browser, or distiller problem but this seems a logical place to start looking for answers. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I've also had problems printing with Reader X.
When printing an attachment from an email in Outlook, if I don't open the attachment first, sometimes it doesn't print correctly as everything shows with the following number or letter. Example 12345 will print as "23456" and invoice will show as "jowpjdf". Even if I open the attachment, sometimes it will print the first page ok, but the next pages will "mppl mjlf uijt".
Never had this problem with previous versions.

Can I embed fonts in a pdf document?

I wish to publish a Pages document and to do this I need to convert it to pdf and ensure that my fonts can be embedded into the pdf document. I am not sure how to proceed. How do you embed fonts in PDF from Pages 4.1?

Preview does a nice job of embedding fonts. You can open a pdf with non-embedded fonts in Preview and then print->save as pdf creates one with fonts embedded. I had seen this in MacOSX Hints originally and it works for me.
For seeing what fonts are embedded (or not), pdffonts is a very nice utility, which i think now comes with poppler, or you can build from their git.

Font in all PDF documents is wingdings - in all readers

Hi,
No matter what PDF reader I use and no matter what PDF document I use, this is what the PDF file looks like:
http://i.imgur.com/XppSj.png
This happens in all PDF readers EXCEPT for xpdf, leading me to believe that for some reason poppler is creating some issues and is using wingdings for some reason. I tried reinstalling it, but nothing. I tried installing the ttf-ms-fonts (and relevant packages), nothing. For the record, the PDF is not in cyrillic, and I did even try changing the locale back to en_US.UTF-8. I also do have poppler-data installed.
I also tried other documents (such as those from Google Analytics), the problem persists.
Help?

No, I have not. Firefox text & font options are default. Driver-wise, yes, this is up to date. I should note that in the case of Google Spreadsheets, the text appears briefly before disappearing.
This would have led me to believe it was one of my addons, but the safe mode test dismissed that idea.

Making sure fonts travel with PDF document

I use Adobe CS2 which is old but still works for me. When I want to create a PDF, I choose ADOBE PDF from the printer menu, and output to a file. How can I be sure that what I see on my computer will display the same on someone else's computer?
Thanks

To elaborate:
1. If you have Acrobat, check File: Properties: Fonts. See if all fonts are embedded. Embedded Subset is default, which is acceptable.
2. If possible disable the document fonts on your computer, then view the PDF. If the fonts still display properly you should be OK.
3. You can also view the PDF on another computer to ensure the fonts display properly.

Bex Broadcasting settings for a PDF Layout

Hi,
I had a Query with Area and Department as Free Chars.
My requirement is to send a ONE PDF file with KFs at Area(Columns) and KF's at Department(columns) on a daily basis to users ....
So i generated 2 views V1 with Area information and V2 with Department information.
I developed a Web Template with 2 data providers DP1=V1 & DP2=V2 which are used for 2 Analysis items.
when i executed the template is can see 2 information items area and department.As i got nearly 30 departments in template it is appearing as pages that i can navigate.
When i scheduled the same template using Bex Braodcasted ...and i got a email as an attachment.
But in the PDF attachment the initial results are so small...that i need to magnify.
But my requirment is to split the results in multiple pages so the users don't require to magnify it
How and where can i make this settings
Thanks

Hmmm. no problem, but I'm not sure where to post this... I think everything gets Distilled and that's part of Acrobat. I don't see a Distiller Forum....
I'll try a Photoshop..?...
Thanks

IPhone doesn't render all fonts embedded on PDF documents

The PDF reader in the iPhone does not render all fonts. When viewing attachments or PDFs posted on a website some text fields just don't show up, but they do when viewed in Preview or Acrobat Reader.
I have not seen discussions about this so I just want to make sure that the Software developers at Apple are aware of the problem.
This is a big issue for my profession (Graphic Design/Advertising).

Embedding of fonts into PDF document

Hello people!
I need to create a PDF document that has text in different fonts(Arial Black, Courier New, Lucida Sans etc.) and languages(English, German, Russian etc.).
What is the best way to do this? How can I embed a font into a PDF document?
I am reading a PDF Reference documantation, but I have not found a good example of font embedding...
I would be thankful for an example or link to documentation or any other information that will help me to solve this problem.

>I have not found any free library for creating PDF files so I'm writing my own..
I would like to recommend that, rather than spending weeks or months
on getting fonts to embed (this is HARD) you look harder at the
available library. There are now dozens, and some are free, some are
even open source. Quality varies, of course.
http://www.planetpdf.com/ has a very big list of PDF tools, including
developer tools.
If you want to continue, realise that at points in this task you will
hit things which suddenly seem to make the job ten times harder than
before. Embedding fonts is one. Far Eastern fonts ten times harder
still.
> (The only library I found(for C++) was PDFLib, but it is not free)
Do a fair comparison of your months of coding time versus licensing
time.
>Adobe PDF Library is not free too(As I understand it)
Indeed not. From what we understand licensing is by negotation,
royalty based and never less than tens of thousands of dollars.
Frankly, too, it's not an ideal library for PDF creation.
>
>Yes, you are right! But almost every PDF doc is coded... How can I decode it to watch its contents?
Write a decoder. You are sure to need one as part of debugging your
own code at some point.
> Is there an example of font embedding in the documentation?
No, but it's just an extra FontFile, FontFile2 and/or FontFile3 key in
the FontDescriptor: not very interesting in PDF terms.
The key part is that you have to read and understand the font file
formats as well as the PDF format, because in most cases you have to
parse and may have to rewrite the font data. So if you want to embed
TrueType fonts, now is the time to read the TrueType font
specification (at least in outline, down to the level of the
individual tables: you can ignore the stuff about outlines and
rendering).

How do I solve font changes when downloading a PDF document?

When downloading some PDF documents, the font changes. I have tried several troubleshooting solutions, but my issue was not solved. What can I do to prevent this from happening or if it does, to remedy the problem?

Yes, Ajlan, thank you. I solved the issue by opening PDF documents of unwanted fonts with another PDF document reader. When I open my files folder, there is an option (drop down box) at the top that allows for me to choose from either Adobe Reader or PDF Vista. It may have been there all along; I just didn't notice it until I recently had this issue.
Take care :-)

Embed fonts late in existing PDF-document

Hello,
I already searched for hours to find a way to embed fonts in existing pdf-documents.
I tryed it in these ways:
1. Creating a PS-file out of the PDF-file and the creating a PDF-file out of the PS-file --> it doesn't work, because the PS-file can not be created
2. editing the PDF-file via the adobe sdk wich is installed whith the AdobeAcrobatStandard9 --> I don't find a way to set the fonts to embedded
I now that it is possible to embed the fonts while open the pdf-document manually and edit it with the TouchUp-Tool. But this way we can not handle, because we need to edit thousands of documents. So we need a solution wich works as a CommandLine-Tool or so.
I hope anyone have an idea and can help me
Thanks a lot
Clemens

Acrobat 9 Standard does not have the capability. It is, however,
available as part of Acrobat 9 Professional. That solution can also be
used as part of a Batch Process to address your volume needs.
There are no command line options available.
Also, don't forget that Acrobat can NOT be used on a server...

PDF documents that cannot be edited in Reader for IOS

Hello,
I've been trying to edit (highlight and add comments) a PDF document on my iPad, but the app is not cooperating with me.
I was able to edit it with Adobe Reader on my PC, but the same file cannot be edited with the ios app. I tried some other pdfs with the app, and in some, the editing options would work, but in others, they would not.
Is there any way that I can modify a pdf when it behaves this way, so that it will let me edit it on my iPad?
Thanks!

aboutrainbows,
Thank you for sharing the PDF document.
I took a look at the PDF document and found out that this problem occurs with certain types of PDF documents (but not all PDF documents). Only text markup annotations (Highlight, Strikeout, and Underline) are affected by the defect in Adobe Reader for iOS.
The good news is that we already have a fix for it. The fix will be verified by our Quality Engineering team and included in a future release of Adobe Reader for iOS. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide the release date for Adobe Reader for iOS.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please let us know if you have further questions.

Hi
Is the pdf being generated from a central location, or is each user running the report and exporting to pdf?
The font will need to be on the same machine/server that is generating the pdf.
