Calculate text with for specific font

Hi,
is there some support to calculate the width of a text with a specific font? E. g. if the font is equi-distant or not or different size, it has a different width.
Regards
Oliver

You can add a listener and then (I assume) make changes if the text does not fit:
txt.widthProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener() {
             @Override public void changed(ObservableValue o,Object oldVal, Object newVal){
                  if ( newVal instanceof Double){
                       double xw = (Double) newVal;
           });

How to replace missing fonts with a specific font (and not a suggested font)

Hello all!
Looking to replace missing fonts within my document - but the drop-down selection only gives a couple of suggestions, none of which are the font I want to use.
How can I replace the fonts with a font of my choosing?
I've attached an image to give more clarity - notice how the drop-down only gives the option to select between 3 fonts without an option to select your own font - many thanks!

Same problem! The only solution I found is to prepare a textbox in a new file with all the font you need. Copy and past in the file you need to change font. Go to type/risolve missing font. Will open the same window in the pic you pasted. Then you find the font in the dropdown menu. I have to change all the Helvetica family ...it's a long go. If some one could save me. Hope to be usefull to your problem.

Searching a pdf document in order to find text parts formatted with a specific font

I have a document that I output as a pdf.
Between the first and last version of this document, I've made some changes, one of those being replacing a font by another one.
Alas, in the final pdf document, under "document properties", "fonts tab", I can still see the first draft font (when it should not be present anymore in my document). It may mean that there's some bit of text that I have not correctly updated.
So I want to identify those chunks of text that are still formatted using the first draft font. I know that it should be done in my main app but, for some (good) reason, I prefer to do this search in the pdf output itself.
So, how could I do this search within Acrobat (I'm using Acrobat XI Pro) ?
Thanks

Possible yes.. a bit klunky.. also yes.
Open the document properties > fonts dialog and write down the PostScript name of the font you're looking for
Open Prefight from the Print Production panel
Select Single Checks (eyeglass symbol)
Select Options > Create New Preflight Check
Call it 'find my font', and in the 'find' box at the top right type "base font". The task will appear in the window below, click Add.
Under 'begins with' enter your PostScript name, then save the Check
Back on the Preflight dialog select the Check and press Analyze.
Double-click the line starting with a red X and in the document itself you will see each instance of that font indicated by red crop marks.

Separation color space for specific fonts

I Want to write a text (having special font) into a separation color space where my output device supports.
I was able to get the font name for the text using PDETextGetFont() function but i want to write those txet element into different plane (basically the separation color space which i have created) other than CMYK.
Is there any specific functions in PDFEdit_Layer to achieve that?
I tried with some of the functions like PDEColorSpaceCeate() -- for separation but i am unable to achieve my result.
Thanks for your help

You must first understand colour spaces in detail and how they are used and their affect on the PDF. The API does not help you with these things. Once you understand colour spaces, you can easily use the API to create colours in any of the 11 colour space families (well, in 10 of them, patterns are not easy). You can use DeviceN or Separation, but what makes them not too easy is that you need to understand (a) the purpose of tint transforms (b) the internal structure of PDF function dictionaries (c) how to create a function dictionary to implement the desired tint transforms.
You will not find examples of most things, but continued return to the documentation (both plug-in API and 32000-1) should usually yield results.
As you will see in 32000-1, there is no central list of spot colorants used in a PDF. The list of colorants simply comes from the colour spaces used throughout all pages, form XObjects, patterns and type 3 fonts, and you can freely add more colours. However, it is very bad practice to add new spot colorants with different properties, so a good implementation will start with an analysis of the whole file to discover if the colorant is used, and how it is defined.

How to Substitute CoA GL Text with User specific GL Text in reports

Hello Experts,
We have one Chart of Account shared by many countries in different company codes. So, it is not possible to change English text of GL accounts for country specific requirement. I had a way out by making country chart of account but customer did not want it to avoid complexities. Therefore, is there a way to maintain India specific text for some selective GLs and replicate it in the reports. Users are fine with doing entries with existing text. Only problem is with reports to show it to external parties.
Please advise and send your expert comments!
Thank you,
With Kind Regards,
Naresh B. Pandya

If you put a formatting trigger on any item or frame and return FALSE, it will disappear.
So the totals need to be within a frame which has a trigger which returns false if text file is chosen.

Using HTML text with an embedded font in Flex 4

I have spent a day searching the interwebs and have not found a working example of how to use an embedded font with html formatting.
Anybody know if it can even be done??

Should be doable, but all fonts used in the html have to be embedded, and
one of the fonts should be specified as the fontFamily for the component.

Copy paste text from pdf exported from Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer control with Czech specific characters produced box charactex or ?.

Used Visual studio 2012. In our project there is used the Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer control. In the report handled by the control are TextBoxs with a text with Czech specific characters e.g. (ř, ě, ...) . When exporting the report to pdf,
characters are displayed correctly. However when the text with czech characters in the pdf if copied and placed into the seach box in the pdf document only box characters are displayed. The TextBox in the report use the default font Arial. When the report
is exported to Word, and then the Word document is saved as a pdf document, its ok. Coping a text with Czech charactes in the result pdf document and pasting into the search box displays again Czech characters not box characters.
Also when in the report handled by the ReportViewer control are several Tex Boxes and some of the boxes contains Czech characters and some not, after exporting to a pdf document there is problem with text selection. When in the pdf document I'm trying to
select several paragraphs, some with Czech characters and some without them, selection behaves strangely and jumps from one paragraph to another unexpectedly.

Hi,
did you managed to avoid those squares?
BTW: if any such char. is encountered in a line, the entire line of text is grabbled.
I've tried even the ReportViewer from MSSQL 2014, but got the same problem. When I've tried IL Spy, I found a code, where it is checked if the PDFFont is composite - depending on that a glyph is created. But that still only a guess.
I've tried Telerik's reporting, they have similar problem (beside other), but not with the special characters. They produced scuares for some sequences like: ft, fi, tí.
Please give any info you got.
Until then my advices for you:
a) try JasperReports (seems theyre most advanced, although it is java)
b) Developer express has quiet quality reports - and it seems they got those special chars. right :D
c) I created a ticket and waiting for Telerik's response (but if I had to choose reporting, I vould stick with a) or b)

Safari rendering default text with condensed font?

Has anyone else experienced this in the last few days?
All of a sudden Safari is rendering default text with a different font, a light, condensed one.
The side-by-side shows the Wordpress Admin menu on my Macbook & on my iMac.
The Macbook is still rendering as always, the iMac now has this new font.
Aside from within the Wordpress Admin area, I'm seeing the same thing in various other places you'd expect to see a default font, for default text.
It's not the end of the world but considering I haven't done anything to cause the change I'm concerned it's something malicious causing it,
any insights anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Extract text with specific format ?

Hello,
Is there a way to extract text with a specific format in a document (i.e. font type/ size or even font colour)?
thanks in advance!

Hello gillad,
I am afraid only indicators are the bold font or text colour...
Having said that, just as I was writting my response, the following idea came to me:
Convert the pdf into word
Click on text of interest (text with distinct format)
Use the feature "select all text with similar formating (no data)" under "editing" within the "home" ribbon
Having said that, hopefully a tool set/ action can be developed one day...

Not able to get font style for some fonts

Hi,
I am getting font style(like regular, bold, italic etc) like this-
while (count < fontCount) {//loop , which iterate throgh used fonts.
                                                  ATE::IFont currentFont = fontRefArray.Item(count);
                                                  if (!currentFont.IsNull()) {
                                                            FontRef fontRef = currentFont.GetRef();
                                                            AIFontKey fontKey = NULL;
                                                            result = sAIFont->FontKeyFromFont(fontRef, &fontKey);
                                                            result = sAIFont->GetUserFontName(fontKey, fontname, 50);
                                                            result = sAIFont->GetPostScriptFontName(fontKey, psname, 50);
                                                            result = sAIFont->GetFontStyleName(fontKey, stylename, 50);
                                                            result = sAIFont->GetFontFamilyUIName(fontKey, familyname, 50);
For some fonts(not all the fonts) , Style name is comming as empty string, however for other fonts its working. Not sure why its working for some fonts and not for others. Other font properties are coming fine for all fonts.
When its failing, result is not kNoErr, but i dont know that how to get the exact error?Please help me in this issue.
Regards,
Harsh

Hi A. Patterson,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I tried GetFontStyleUINameUnicode() also but its also returning the emply string for style name for some of the fonts only difference is that error is kNoErr for all fonts. May be there is some problem with those specific fonts(who knows? ). m keep digging this.
Regards,
Harsh

Script to insert a character with a given font

Hello,
I must be silly but I have searched the web for hours and could not find a solution to my "simple" problem:
I would like a script to do this:
1. set font (eg MT Extra)
2. insert a character based on unicode (eg F080)
3.revert font to previous font
This vould allow me to insert any character of any font and then continue typing my text with the regular font.
Thank you for our help

For something basic like this you should check out the documentation that comes with ESTK, under the Help menu. "Adobe Intro to Scripting" is a good place to start.
Anyway, assuming you've got your text cursor blinking in some text, try this:
myIP = app.selection[0];
myIP.contents = "\uf080";
myIP.appliedFont = "MT Extra";

Runtime.exec() with language specific chars (umlauts)

Hello,
my problem is as follows:
I need to run the glimpse search engine from a java application on solaris using JRE 1.3.1 with a search pattern containing special characters.
Glimpse has indexed UTF8 coded XML files that can contain text with language specific characters in different languages (i.e. german umlauts, spanish, chinese). The following code works fine on windows and with JRE 1.2.2 on solaris too:
String sSearchedFreeText = "Tür";
String sEncoding = "UTF8";
// Convert UTF8 search free text
ByteArrayOutputStream osByteArray = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Writer w = new OutputStreamWriter(osByteArray, sEncoding);
w.write(sSearchedFreeText);
w.close();
// Generate process
String commandString = "glimpse -y -l -i -H /data/glimpseindex -W -L 20 {" + osByteArray.toString() + "}";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandString);
One of the XML files contains:
<group topic="service-num">
<entry name="id">7059</entry>
<entry name="name">TÃ¼rverkleidung</entry>
</group>
Running the java code with JRE 1.2.2 on solaris i get following correct commandline
glimpse -y -l -i -H /data/glimpseindex -W -L 20 {TÃ¼rverkleidung}
--> glimpse finds correct filenames
Running it with JRE 1.3.1 i get following incorrect commandline
glimpse -y -l -i -H /data/glimpseindex -W -L 20 {T??rverkleidung}
--> glimpse finds nothing
JRE 1.2.2 uses as default charset ISO-8859-1 but JRE 1.3.1 uses ASCII on solaris.
Is it possible to change the default charset for the JVM in solaris environment?
Or is there a way to force encoding used by Runtime.exec() with java code?
Thanks in advance for any hints.
Karsten

osByteArray.toString()Yes, there's a way to force the encoding. You provide it as a parameter to the toString() method.
