Can I create a PDF with embedded Postscript Type 1 fonts when ordering?

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional version and can set up a Postscript file to be distilled with the proper settings for print. I often do this for professional printers. Are there settings available for book orders, and if so, can I send my own PDF through the iPhoto application somehow? The books need to have a "Prairie/Arts & Crafts" look, and they look much better using some of Postscript fonts I have than anything that came with the system.

Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

    I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font.  I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
    I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
    A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

  • Hello. I have an iPad2, and iMovie software. My main problem, for the moment, is the length of the videos: I can´t create a video with more than 56 seconds. When I try, the app shuts off... Can anyone help me?

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

  • How can I create a PDF with cad layers visible and switchable?

    I am producing CAD drawings in Vectorworks 2013 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8. I can export these as Autocad .dwg files and read them in E-Drawings viewer but do not have Autocad. I want to create a PDF of a drawing for a client to use which will display Vectorworks classes (Autocad layers) and they will be able to turn these classes (layers) on and off. I understand the client has received such files from other parties (probably using Autocad).

    Hi steffenoberlaender,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat and MS Office are you using.
    Try exporting any other word file to PDF and check if this could be a document specific issue.
    If possible, share both the sample word and PDF file with me via email so that I can check at my end.

  • How can I create a PDF with flowing columns?

    I need to write a script that takes my input data and creates a PDF file that has flowing columns - that is to say, where I give it a long chunk of text and that text is automatically broken into two columns where the text flows down column 1 and when it hits the bottom of the page it starts filling up column 2.  I've been playing with enscript and pstopdf and they can do that, the problem is that I also need some sections of the PDF that aren't in 2 columns.
    I can probably explain this better with an example - assume my long chunk of text is the alphabet, I need my PDF to look like this:
    [Page 1]
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    A   E 
    B   F
    C   G
    D   H
    [Page 2]
    I    K
    J   L
    Header 4
    Header 5
    M   N
    [Page 3]
    O   R
    P   S
    Q   T
    I tried generating an HTML file and converting the HTML to PDF inside Safari, but while the HTML looks good, WebKit drops the ball and forgets about the columns when converting to PDF.
    Is there a way to create the document in sections and then somehow combine them into one final document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I see I forgot some important points, sorry ...
    This needs to be part of an automated process, the data will be different each time which makes it difficult to calculate how much will fit in a given column on a specific page.
    The machine doing the processing does not have Microsoft Office on it, but I could install Open Office for sure and possibly Pages, although I don't know their scripting languages so I'm not sure whether that would take more time than I have ...
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Can I create a PDF with form controls using JAVA?

    I have a web site running on linux (Ubuntu). I'm programming in Java. Presently I use open office to create PDFs with form controls (checkboxes, lists and text fields). I'd like to be able to create in my program (Java) with form controls. JasperReports is not good because I don't see a way to create form controls. Help!!!

    I am not sure what this has to do with the Acrobat SDK, as we don't have a version of SDK for Linux (or Java).

  • Can I create a pdf with clickable links which open new pdfs?

    Hi,
    My client now wants me to create pdf with links to open new pdfs (in an offline mode). He wants to put all the content onto memory sticks to hand out at a conference.
    I have suggested the alternative of links which redirect to other pages within the same pdf, but if I could create one which open whole new pages or documents this would be really smart.
    Many thanks,
    Sam

    When you create the links, use "Go to a page view" type, as opposed to "Open a file". This allows you to create links that will open another PDF to a particular page and view (zoom and position).

  • How can I create VI's with inputs which will execute immediately when updated?

    I am using LabView to control stepper motors. I would like to create a VI with a front panel which has 4 directional arrows, 2 per motor. My goal is to be able to run the VI and then press a button to move the motor.
    I have created separate VI for each funcition of the motors - a vi to set the holding current, one to set the moving current, another to move up by a certain amount, and so on. These vi's work and I can move and adjust the motors, but only by running separate VI.
    How can i combine them into one VI and have them execute at the press of a button or change of a property? An example would be to set a new holding current, and have the holding current vi execute immediately and send the command to the motor. Then keep on pressing the directional buttons without having to hit "run" on another vi.
    Thank you very much
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The event structure will allow you to handle user input and execute when controls are used.  A "value change" event is what you're looking for.

  • Adobe Postscript Type 1 fonts and Windows 7

    I have a disk with Adobe Postscript Type 1 fonts ("Adobe Type Basics" that I purchased in 2001). The disk includes an install program that does not work on my current computer (Windows 7, 64). Can I get those fonts installed on my current computer, and if so, how do I do it. Step by step, please. Many thanks.

    Although we at Adobe certainly do recommend use of OpenType font technology going forward and especially for new publishing projects for any number of very good reasons, Adobe does continue to fully support Type 1 fonts (FWIW, TrueType and OpenType fonts are every bit as much PostScript fonts as Type 1 or Type 3 fonts are) in all our applications as well as in our Adobe PostScript and Adobe PDF Print Engine products and has committed to do so for the indefinite future.
    In fact, Adobe still does license and ship Type 1 fonts in fairly high quantities. Every printer sold with Adobe PostScript 3 by Adobe's OEM partners such as Xerox, Ricoh, Canon, Océ, EFI, etc. is accompanied with host software that includes the Windows and Macintosh host versions of all the Type 1 fonts that are also printer resident.
    Actually, the problem that the OP of this thread was experiencing is that apparently, the Adobe Type Basics was built without the .pfm files that normally were shipped with all Adobe type packages for Windows. When ATM was required for installation of those fonts, since ATM had the capability of building .pfm files on-the-fly, this omission wasn't noticed at the time by most users (even I wasn't aware of it until today). Otherwise, there was nothing wrong with those fonts and there was nothing about them that was “showing their age.”
    Unfortunately, the Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition is not a superset of the fonts in the original Adobe Type Basics product. Many of the font families of the original product were replaced by totally different font families. Updating to the OpenType-based product would not have solved the OP's problem without possibly needing to license a whole bunch of additional font families individually, possibly costing more than the $99 for the Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition itself. For existing content (including templates and artwork), it is not simple to move from Type 1 to OpenType without going through existing content and globally changing all font references. The OpenType versions of Adobe's font do not have the same names as the Type 1 versions - this was not an oversight, but done for good reason since there are differences between the products in encoding and metrics that could in some cases cause layout issues.

  • How can I create one pdf from a FrameMaker Book with mixed page sizes.

    Looking for an easier way to create one pdf from a FrameMaker book that has files with different pages sizes; letter and tabloid.
    So far, I have not been able to find a way to set up the Adobe PDF printer or Distiller to read the page size from the source files in the book and then create one pdf with the appropriate page sizes based on the file sizes in the FrameMaker book. I can create a pdf of the book using a multi-step process where I create a pdf for each page size and then combine them into one file. This is a lot of work.
    Is there a way to set the Adobe PDF printer where it reads page size from the source files and then creates one pdf with a mixed page sizes?
    Using FrameMaker 7 and 10 and Acrobat X Pro.
    Thanks for any suggestions

  • Create a PDF with DDX that can be converted to PCL by generatePrintedOutput

    Hi all,
    I have a scenario that puzzles me a bit.
    I have some forms that are Interactive forms (stored as XDP with the property Dynamic XML Form).
    I need to assemble these xdp-forms (and fill them with data) and add it all up in one PDF. This PDf should be converted to PCL and later shipped off to a printer. However I see a conflict in doing this by using the Invoke DDX and generatePrintedOutput services.
    I can easily create my PDF, but to make it work I have to include the <NoForms> tag in my DDX. However when I do this I end up with a non xfa-based PDF. When I try to pass this to the generatePrintedOutput service it complains that the form is not XFA-based.
    If I then remove my <NoForms> tag from my DDX I get the error from Assembler telling me that "the baseDocument cannot be assembled becasuse it is an XFA-based form".
    What am I doing wrong? Could you elaborate a little on the behavior of these two services.
    I have found the link to the documentation on page 38 in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/ddxRef.pdf, however I don't think it tells me what is wrong.
    Please advice
    Thanks in advance

    Open in PS and print to the Adobe PDF printer. However, a 448MB TIFF seems huge. At 200 dpi and 24 bit color (millions of colors) that leaves you with a 61inX61in graphic. Even at 600dpi, that is 20X20.
    For us to help you, please indicate exactly how you are trying to convert from PhotoShop. For Acrobat, are you trying to open the TIFF in Acrobat directly? Is the TIFF a single sheet, or multiple sheet? There are a lot of unanswered questions for us.
    One of the limitations on file size is the size of the temporary PS file that is created in the PDF creation process. This PS file is created in the TEMP folder that is limited by MS. So you might try emptying the TEMP folder.

  • How would I create a PDF with dynamic spelling notations intact?

    Hi Everyone,
    Is there a way to print a PDF version of everything I see on the screen when I run the Dynamic Spellcheck in InDesign?  I'd like to send everyone on my staff a PDF proof that includes all of the spelling suggestions. 
    I would be extremely grateful for your help.  Nothing I've tried seems to work, and this forum is my last hope.  Thank you!
    Brian

    Check this site: http://www.kerntiff.co.uk/products-4-indesign/spellproof-id
    Using it, and it works great. There is an option for highlighting words which can be turned off, if you just want the dynamic "squiggles".
    It works with printing, but if you want a PDF you have to create the PDF as a postscript and then distill it.

  • Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

    I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
    If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.
