Clearscan doc with 52MB of embedded fonts

Hi Folks,
I scanned a 924-page document. I made it into a pdf and used clearscan OCR on it at 600 DPI (200 pages at a time so as not to crash acrobat). I've ended up with a 60 MB file, 52 MB of which is fonts! Is there any way to intelligently group the fonts to reduce the size? I'm sure there are two thousand fonts for "a" in there, all of which are just a pixel or two different from each other. Those should be grouped as a single font for "a"! I doubt there's a way for me to do this, but thought I'd ask.
thanks!

I'm sure there are two thousand fonts for "a" in there, all of which are just a pixel or two different from each other.
Did you check the fonts in the document?

I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
 var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
 if (f.type === "text") {
 f.textFont = font.Helv;
 f.textSize = 9;
It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

Using a CMap with a non-embedded font

I would like to (for example) use MS Arial without embedding it. I can do this just fine if I use the Arial internal CIDs with /Encoding /Identity-H, but that is not what I want to do - I want to use /Encoding 123 0 R to refer to a CMap so that I can use Unicode code points in my text like this: (^@H^@e^@l^@l^@o^@ ^@W^@o^@r^@l^@d^@!)Tj I have the CMap working perfectly if I embed the font. However, if I do not embed the font, I get an error saying that Acrobat "Cannot find or create" the font. As noted above, the external font works OK if I use /Identity-H instead of my CMap. Is it simply not possible to use a CMap with an external font, or am I missing some vital step? Here's a simplified excerpt from my PDF document: <code> 100 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type0 /BaseFont /Arial,Bold /DescendantFonts [ 101 0 R ] /Encoding 200 0 R %/Encoding /Identity-H /ToUnicode /Identity-H >> endobj 101 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /CIDFontType2 /BaseFont /Arial,Bold /Encoding 11 0 R /FontDescriptor 102 0 R /CIDSystemInfo << /Registry (Adobe) /Ordering (Identity) /Supplement 0 >> /DW 1050 >> endobj 102 0 obj << /Type /FontDescriptor /Ascent 1069 /CapHeight 0 /Descent -271 /Flags 32 /FontBBox [ -1000 -308 2231 1077 ] /FontName /Arial,Bold /ItalicAngle 0 /StemV 0 /AvgWidth 442 /MaxWidth 1000 /MissingWidth 1000 >> endobj 200 0 obj << /Type /CMap /CMapName /UniAC-UCS2-8-H /CIDSystemInfo << /Registry (Adobe) /Ordering (Identity) /Supplement 0 >> /WMode 0 /Length 0 >> stream %!PS Adobe 3. 0 Resource CMap %% DocumentNeededResources: ProcSet (CIDInit) %%IncludeResource: ProcSet (CIDInit) %BeginResource: CMap (UniAC-UCS2-8-H) %Title: ( UniAC-UCS2-8-H Adobe Identity 0) %% EndComments /CIDInit /ProcSet findresource begin 12 dict begin begincmap /CIDSystemInfo 3 dict dup begin /Registry (Adobe) def /Ordering (Identity) def /Supplement 0 def >> end def /CMapName /UniAC-UCS2-8-H def /CMapVersion 10. 001 def /CMapType 1 def /UIDOffset 950 def /XUID [ 1 10 25343] def /WMode 0 def 1 begincodespacerange <0000> <FFFF> endcodespacerange 1 beginnotdefrange <0000> <001F> 0 endnotdefrange 1 begincidrange <0020> <007e> 3 endcidrange endcmap CMapName currentdict /CMap defineresource pop end end %%EndResource %%EOF endstream endobj

You asked "why can't you use a variant encoding" - so I'd like to explain.
The reason that Acrobat fails is that for an unembedded CIDFont, if the CIDSystemInfo is not one of the predefined CID collection (Adobe-Japan1, Adobe-CNS1, Adobe-GB1, Adobe-Japan1), we cannot reliably provide font substitution. We have to consider the situation where the PDF is open on a system without the (same) referenced font. For the PDF to be useful, the
exact same font must be present on all systems, otherwise we lose the Portability in PDF.
There are many versions of "Arial,Bold" with different number of glyphs and different glyph IDs assignment. The embedded CMap has the following mapping:
<0020> <007e> 3
In order to point to the same GIDs, all "Arial,Bold" must have glyph index 3 for U+0020, GID 36 for U+0041, and so on. There is no such guarantee in TrueType spec.
Hope that explains the situation.

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.

Anna;
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.

Problems with embedded font on spark RichText control

« Hide
I have an embedded font that appears correctly when used with Halo components, but when associated with the spark RichText component, it is not recognized.
The embedded font is defined in css file, my css file
@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
@font-face {
src:url("assets/fonts.swf");
fontFamily: "Helvetica Neue";
@font-face {
src:url("assets/fonts.swf");
fontFamily:"Helvetica Neue";
fontWeight: bold;
global{
color:#333333;
fontFamily: "Helvetica Neue";
fontSize:12px;
The embedded font it used in the following manner:
<mx:Label styleName="panelTitle" text="Hello There" width="263" x="21" y="11"/>
<s:Group width="410" x="38" y="52" height="50">
<s:RichText styleName="panelTitle" text="Hello There" fontFamily="Helvetica Neue" width="263" x="21" y="11"/>
</s:Group>
The Label shows the embedded font correctly while the RichText control does not. It does not matter if the fontFamily is specified explicitly on the control or not.
I created a bug SDK-22137, but since I'd need to get this working soon any help would be appreciated.

Just a friendly reminder. Many of the examples on that site are fairly old and havent been updated to use the latest APIs. For example, "cff" has recently been renamed to "embedAsCFF". In fact, here's a better example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 </s:layout>
 <fx:Style>
 @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
 @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";

 @font-face {

 fontWeight: normal;
 embedAsCFF: true;
 @font-face {

 <mx:Label text="Halo Label" />
 <mx:Label text="Halo Label (bold)" fontWeight="bold" />
 <s:RichText text="Spark RichText" />
 <s:RichText text="Spark RichText (bold)" fontWeight="bold" />
</s:Application>
Also, depending on what you're trying to do, this may help you: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/06/14/using-a-cff-embedded-font-with-a-halo-label-contro l-in-flex-4/. Basically, you can set the textFieldClass style on certain Halo controls and have them use the mx.core.UITLFTextFieldClass (instead of the default mx.core.UITextFieldClass) so they can take advantage of the new CFF fonts.
In fact, here's the same example as above, but with the single embedded font:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

Mx Components displaying wrong the embedded Font

Hi, I'm developing with Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 and I have a problem that the mx components displaying wrong the embedded font which is embedded in a css-file. But spark components have no problems with displaying the embedded font.
thanks

See the embedded fonts post on my blog. The MX components default to a
different embedded font subsystem.

Resource Bundles and Embedded fonts - best practice

Hello,
I am in digging into creating a localized app and I would
like to use embedded fonts.
Ideally, I would like to have two locales (for example), each
with a different embedded font and/or unicode range.
For example, how do I set up my localized app so that EN uses
Arial (Latin Range), and JP uses Arial Unicode MS with Japanese
Kanji unicode range ?
Note that I do know how to embed fonts with different ranges,
I just don't know how to properly embed them into resource bundles
and access them easily in style sheets.
Thanks!
-Daniel

Hello!
This is a very pertinent question, however as many things in life there is no one size fits all here.
We basically recommend, as best practice, to allocate for each specific context only the estimated needed resources. These values should always come from a previous study on the network patterns/load.
To accomodate for growth and scalability it is strongly advised to initially keep as many resources reserved as possible and allocate the unused resources as needed. To accomplish this goal, you should created a reserved resource class, as you did already, with a guarantee of 20 to 40 percent of all ACE resources and configure a virtual context solely with the purpose of ensuring that these resources are reserved.
As you might already know ACE protects resources in use, this means that when decreasing a context's resources, the resources must be unused before then can be reused by other context. Although it is possible to decrease the resource allocations in real time, it typically requires additional overhead to clear any used resources before reducing them.
Based on the traffic patterns, number of connections, throughput, concurrent SSL connections , etc, for each of the sites you will be deploying you will have a better idea on what might be the estimated needed resources and then assign them to each of the contexts. Thus this is something that greatly depends on customer's network environment.
Hope this helps to clarify your doubts.

AFEFontManager,TextLayoutFramework and embedded fonts

Should we not use AFEFontManager in conjunction with TextLayoutFramework and embedded fonts. I have a project that was using the compiler argument -managers=flash.fonts.AFEFontManager. I would embed fonts from a loaded swf, but the fonts would be of type "embedded" instead of "embeddedCFF". Since the type wasn't embeddedCFF, the font wouldn't display correctly.
I removed the -managers=flash.fonts.AFEFontManager argument and it works perfectly.
So, is there a different way to reference the AFEFontManager? Or perhaps it's not necessary to do so at all?
thanks.

I think this question needs to go to the flex forum, since it is more about AFEFontManager. "embedded" fonts work with TextField, "embeddedCFF" fonts work with TLF and flash.text.engine. It's possible there is a way for you do this with embeddedCFF, that is a question for the Flex group, they are the best source fr information about the compiler.
Thanks,

Problem with PDF export and embedded font (characters disappear)

Designer: Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2
Engine: CR4E 2.0 SP2 (runtime_12.2.203)
Hi there!
we found a problem in the pdf export. It seems like there would be a problem with the embedded fonts, the problem is as follows:
Rpt file with, for example only a text box which contains the german string " Änderungs Schlüssel ".
Export the Rpt file with CR4E to a pdf file.
When we open the pdf file in Adope Reader 8, the text appears to be correct,
but if we print the PDF file from the Adope Reader, the text changes to " nderungs Schl sselu201C,
here we are missing ther german umlaute.
When we open the file for example with an alternative PDF reader like Foxit Reader, there they are also missing.
After i found some posts here in the forum, there are people facing the same problem, since i couldn't find a solution in the forum, we build a little workaround for it that works for us.
For all of you that have the same problem here the workaround:
We used the IText JAVA library, this jar can can help as to fix the PDF file so the text is displayed correctly.
Here the code:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
doc.open("C:\XY.rpt", OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
//... database logon,.....
InputStream inputStream = doc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
inputStream = PDFHealer.heal(inputStream);
//... write the stream some where

The helper class using IText:
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfImportedPage;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
public class PDFHealer
 public static InputStream heal(InputStream in) throws DocumentException, IOException
 try
 ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(in);
 // we retrieve the total number of pages
 int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
 // step 1: creation of a document-object
 Document document = new Document();
 // step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document
 PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, out);
 // step 3: we open the document
 document.open();
 // step 4: we add content
 PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
 int i = 0;
 while( i < n )
 document.newPage();
 i++;
 PdfImportedPage page1 = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
 cb.addTemplate(page1, 0, 0);
 // step 5: we close the document
 document.close();
 ByteArrayInputStream ret = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray());
 out.close();
 return ret;
 finally
 in.close();

Trouble with Preview not using embedded fonts in a PDF

I have a client I'm working with that is generating PDF reports for various organizations in various languages. They are using an Arial Unicode font but are using different encoding for some of the more unique languages. To ensure the report will be viewable regardless of installed fonts, they are embedding the font.
Most of the languages are showing up fine in preview, but three languages are giving me trouble. Specifically Greek, Russian and Thai which are using encoding EL8MSWIN1253, CP1251, and TH8TISASCII.
Basically the question is whether there is some toggle that will tell Preview to use the embedded font? Or something we can put into the PDF (the pdf is created using FPDF) that will allow a user to know which font/encoding they'll need to install in order to properly view the document? (I'm actually trying to figure that out myself...which font I need to install to get preview to view the document properly).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Actually, I got that example to work... here are the changes
I made...
<mx:htmlText>
<![CDATA[You can vary the font
size, color, face, or any combination
of the three.]]>
</mx:htmlText>
As I said above, I have found errors in the code of the help
docs... this is yet another one of them. Usually its spaces in the
wrong place, or no space at all, or missing ) or ], or a case
sensitivity issue.
If you got your custom font to display, that should work...
but then again.. what should work, doesn't always.

Problem with embedding fonts in Illustrator CS5

I have just installed Illustrator CS5, and have tested creating a PDF document based on one of my existing files, as well as a new file.
When I open these PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I am told that Acrobat cannot access one of the embedded fonts (Korinna BT).
I have had no issues with embedding this font in Illustrator CS4, and (strangely), when I open these files in other PDF viewers (Preview and PDFPenPro), they report no issues.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I have removed and reinstalled the font in question, and tested/verified that the font is OK - but still not joy.
Regards
Jeremy

The error message I get is:
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'MVZTIW+KorinnaITCbyBT-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
When I check the fonts in the PDF in "Document Properties" in Adobe Acrobat the following is shown:
"KorinnaITCbyBT-Regular
     Type: TrueType
     Encoding: Ansi
     Actual Font: Adobe Serif MM
     Actual Font Type: Type 1"
It seems that Illustrator is adding some strange "code" ('MVZTIW') to the beginning of the font, which means the actual font can't be found and extracted.

I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro. The application keeps timing out and at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes. The document is 275 pages. Is there something I can do to stop this?

Hi Ricci,
Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

How can embed fonts into a PDF? Additionally, how can I make so that the PDF then opens with the embedded font?

I need to embed a standard font (such as Times New Roman) and make it so that the document opens with this font presented. I see information on embedding fonts, but nothing related to the second part of my question. Thanks.

The second part is automatic. If you manage to embed a font (for example with Preflight in Acrobat Pro), then a PDF viewer should use that. In some cases a locally installed font of the SAME NAME might take preference, which is only a difficulty if a private edited font is used.

Importing MS Word docs with embedded images

When displaying imported documents with images directly embedded in the header as a watermark, SO8 displays only the frame but no image.
Saving the document (.doc) without changes & re-opening with word, the same effect is seen in word.
I understand I could delete the empty image frames & replace with a page background image, however this would prevent us migrating to SO, as our company has too many documents for this to be practical.
Does anyone know of a workaround to correctly import / convert the documents ?

Hi Ron
I don't know if there's a solution that will allow you to
import the diagrams, but if not then you could recapture the
existing diagrams (i.e. as screen-grabs of the Word document) using
something like SnagIt.

Simon
