Custom font in forms

Hi everyone,
If I create a custom form in Acrobat by using some text form fields, if I set the form fields to have a font that I have on my system but won't necessarily be on another person's computer when they fill it out, will the other person be able to see the font, ie. will it get embedded in the form?
Appreciate any advice.

Hi,
I just tried to use a custom font in my form but I got the following warning when I tried:
You mentioned that the font would be embedded so I'm a bit confused. Can you clarify?
Thanks

Install a customer font - dynamic form design

Hi all,
we set the parameter gs_docparams-dynamic mit abap_true for generating the form, beause we locate some form objects dynamically. Now we need to embed our customer font other licenses (for the dynamic form design).
So, we installed the font (for dynamic design) on the ADS, but it is still the same problem, that the font is not embedded in the PDF.
Should the font be installed on the ADS and the client?
Do somebody have install instructions? ...or other ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
What ever font you installed in ADS, Same font you need to install in your Desktop/Laptop where you are designing form.
Once the fonts are installed, they are visible in your form and you can include the fonts in the form.
Note: After Installing the font in ADS, you need to restart the ADS Service(Normally basis people will do this)
Thanks.

Custom font not exported in PDF

Hello Guys,
In my web application, I have a crystal report developed in CR11 R2 SP3. The report uses custom font and it works fine when shown in report viewer.
However I get errors while exporting report as PDF.
1) In windows 2003 server, the pdf is exported without the font values.
2) In Windows XP, pdf is not exported at all and I get an error:
Error in File C:
WINDOWS
TEMP
CrystalReport1 {6A26233D-4832-44B1-AC8E-A21421F6A2E4}.rpt:
Error detected by export DLL.
Can anybody please help. One more thing. The custom font is fine and has been working fine in other crystal report based applications.
Thanks,
Shahzad

Ok, two suggestions:
A)
1) On your web app that throws the error, place label and a text box on your web form
2) Use the custom font for the label and in the text box
3) Run the app
Does that work?
B)
If it does, I'd recommend using filemon and regmon utilities to fins out what is failing. Filemon can be found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/filemon.mspx
Regmon is here;
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/regmon.mspx
Instructions on how to use the above:
1) Load Filemon
2) Press Ctrl + L. This will bring up the filter window.
3) In the 'include' text box, put the name of the aspnet worker process, without the full path. ie: aspnet_wp.exe (ok)
4) Click <OK>
5) Press Ctrl + X to clear the display.
6) run your application, get it to the point where it errors.
7) Save the filemon log. File -> Save as
8) Look for files where the 'result' column is not successful.
Regmon
Here is how to use it:

Embedding Fonts with Forms Service RenderPDFForm

We have several custom fonts being used in PDFs we're rendering using the Forms Service RenderPDFForm API. Rather than require consumers of these PDFs to have those fonts installed, we'd like to embed them in the PDFs being generated. Is it possible to embed fonts using RenderPDFForm?

In the adobe/LiveCycle8.2/deploy folder there is a file called:
adobe-forms-ivs-jboss.ear
Deploy that file on your app server (note that the name may change to reflect your app server). Once it is deployed you can access the application (it is a testing program for Forms). The URL is:
http://machinename:port/FormsIVS
Once it is loaded click on the preferences in the top right corner. Scroll to the bottom and add the administrator/password for your installation. In the first field (called Options) changed the parameter PADebug=0 to PADebug=1. Don't forget to hit the save button at the bottom of the screen. This will return you to the Test Form Design screen. Choose a form from the right List (I chose PurchaseOrder_Dynamic Interactive.xdp). In the Output format dropdown, choose PDFForm. Now click on the Use EJB button. A call to form server will be generated and returned to the screen. Because we have PADebug set to true the whole process is being traced. I am running a JBoss server so the files are written to:
C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8.2\jboss\server\all\svcdata\FormServer\Debug
It will be a different location depending on the appserver type you are running. In that folder is a file called:
debug_xci_pdf.xml
Make a copy of this file and rename it to MyTest.xci. This is the control file we will pass into the call and also modify to embed fonts. Open this file with an XML editor. In the xci file look for the pdf node under the present tag. In that node there is a child node called fontInfo. There is an embed tag in there that is set to 0. Change it to a 1 and save the file. Now in the call to Forms you can pass in a URI to this file in the XCI URI parameter. You can change this in the FormsIVS application in the options string and try it for yourself before changing our app. So now each time you want to embed the fonts pass the XCI URI into the call otherwise use the default one that is embedded in the jar file.
Let me know that it worked for you.

Default Font in Forms 10g

I've been doing some development in Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) and I've noticed some differences between a form that has all the fonts set to Microsoft Sans Serif and a form that leaves the font property as <Unspecified>. When you create a new form and don't change the font in the Layout Editor the font is left as <Unspecified> in the property palette even though the Layout Editor shows the font as Microsoft Sans Serif.
What is the font that Forms uses when the font is set to <Unspecified> in the property palette?

How to set custom font family in qml label in black berry 10 os

how to set custom font family in label text qml in black berry 10 OS

AFAIK, this is not the correct way to set the image location.
We call the working directory as context, so inside the context root along with WEB-INF, maintain a folder with name img and put all the images in that directory.
You can use either .\<image_folder> or the optimum way would be (if you are using JSPs) to use getContext() method and traverse accordingly.
FYI,,, using getContext() will give you context root directory, from there it is as simple as accessing any other folder.
Hope this answers your question.

Editing a PDF file on Illustrator to maintain custom font from another computer

Hello,
I am trying to edit a PDF file on Adobe Illustrator and the file has a custom font in it that I do not have saved on my computer/Adobe does not recognize. Is there a way to save the file so that I can edit it, but so that Adobe does not replace the font with a basic font?
I have tried:
-Opening it in AcrobatPro vs. Illustrator
-Saving the PDF (2 pages) as 2 separate JPEG files and placing them into Illustrator... That just lowers the resolution of the images and they are much lower quality/more pixelated
-Placing the PDF file in Illustrator rather than opening it in Illustrator
None of those worked, and now I am not sure what to do.
Please advice ASAP- Your help is much appreciated as I am on a time crunch!
Thank you!

You can do it with Acrobat. Not Acrobat reader.
It is also possible with Preview.
Open the file in Preview and export it say to the Desktop.
Than open the second pdf and import the file.
Than you can delete tha parts you so not need and leave only one page.
It can be used if the pages are not too many or it will take a long time and I am not sure if it will work with big files.

How to embed font in Form Field

Hi All,
I have created Form with few fields,
I have used Chinesh licience font in form field and content; and i embeded the font in the pdf.
But, the font which i embeded is not appearing in the fields, and it's taking default "arial" instead of embeded(chinesh) font when i distribute the form to public users.
Those public has different OS windows/mac and different acrobat version, when i check Document Properties/Fonts/ the font are embeding with pdf
I know, If font not existing in local system, it would go to Arial, but i embeded the licienced font.
Why embeded font not supporting particularly in FormField?
I'm using Acrobat X Pro,
Please help to sove this issue.
Thanks in adv.
Cheers,
Saran

Normally when you choose a non-base-14 font for a field, the entire font will get embedded so it can be used with the fields. This is separate from any font embedding for regular text content in the PDF. But in the case of asian fonts, I don't think Acrobat will embed asian fonts for use with fields since they can be quite large.
Adobe distributes the Asian and Extended Language Font Pack so that users can fill forms, comment, etc. with the asian fonts it includes: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5508

Hi Brett,
I took a look at these two posts: Re: Tips for getting the E10 email editor to change the email font for Outlook & other old-school email clients? and Re: E10 Fonts
It seems that there are reasons as to why only a few of the fonts are supported. You can drill down into the source code to edit the font type, but I'm not sure that will get you anywhere.
To drill down:
To get the desired font & size in various clients (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Outlook) I found that specifying in the html works best.
So whether it’s a P or TD, tag I add the style attribute & specify the font along with color & size.
e.g.:
<td style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12px;">
Of course if you use the WYSIWYG editor you will have to view the html source & add this.

Urgent: Custom font style not appearing in PDF output only

Hi,
For a customer, I received customer specific font styles(ttf font files) which I installed on my machine and then copied those files in Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts as well as in JRE/lib/fonts. Then I created a template in word and font there appears as custom font.
Now I am getting that font style in all output formats(rtf,ppt,excel) except the PDF output. I am using Oracle BI Publisher desktop alone. Not sure what I missed because of which text font is not changing in PDF version only. I checked the PDF properties and there also custom font is not getting mapped.
Thanks in advance.

Here is the link that describes how to set up the font mapping for PDF output: Look for "Font Mappings (for PDF output)"

Custom Fonts In Oracle Report

I have created a Custom Report (Output:PDF) using Oracle 9i, It has Custom Font, When I ran the report the custom fonts are displayed as special characters, Can someone please let me know how can i configure fonts to get picked up by report.

Make sure you have a TTF file under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/TTF and an AFM for that missing under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/AFM directory.
Modify the uifont.ali under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin directory and add PDF Subsetting to reference the font. You'll want to open the AFM file to see what the "Font Family Name" parameter is. That is what you put on the left side of the "=" sign. The TTF file is what you reference in the right side of the equals sign. So, basically it is "Font Family Name"="TTF Font Name".
Save the file, restart Reports Server, and run your report. Then it should work.
IF you don't know how to generate an AFM file, I'd look at the ttf2pt1 utility. I used that utility to generate my AFM file (based on the TTF font).
Now, this will not solve problems when sending it to the printer directly. BUt it will resolve it when generating a PDF and then printing to the printer that file output.

Using custom fonts in iBooks Author

I have a book in South Asian (Indic) script. The encoding is Unicode. I wanted to see how different fonts would look on iPad. Using iBook Author i created two different versions of the book. One used Gujarati MT, Apple supplied font. The second used open source TTF font. It checked out fine by MacOS when I installed it. The rendering of conjuncts (which would use additional glyph present in the font file) on iBook Author looks good. When I use "preview" function of iBook Author to see how the content would look on iPad, conjuncts dont use special glyph but only standard character (I guess GSUB is not utilized). I tried the same experiment with Arial Unicode MS and Shruti both are standard fonts provided under Windows. it appears that only Apple supplied fonts have correct glyph substitution on iPad.
Is there a way to fix it?
If the issue is with iBook Author, I can use another software. My book is plain text so Author is an overkill. I was using it to test embedding of custom fonts because Author is easy to use.
If the issue is missing definition in the font that is required by iPad rendering engine, I can get the font author to enhance the font.
I attach four images. First two are from iBook Author where rendering is correct. The next two are from iPad where rendering using non Apple font is messed up.

Is comment about enhancing the font to support AAT still relevant? Are you saying that iOS needs those AAT extension that macOS does not need? Is this mostly around MORX table?
iOS (and OS X) comes with two Gujarati fonts, Gujarati MT and Gujarati Sangam MN. So the easiest thing to do is to use one of those.   Other platforms will probably have their own default Gujarati fonts with different names.
If you want to embed a different Gujarati font in your .ibooks format book, then you will indeed have to convert that font from OpenType to AAT before iBooks will display it correctly.   It's not true that OS X no longer needs AAT Indic fonts -- Pages for example still cannot use Opentype Indic fonts.
To convert an Opentype Indic font to an AAT Indic font I think someone will have to add a morx table along the lines of what is contained in Gujarati MT.
Bear in mind that iBooks Author creates a format that can only be read on an iPad (unless you want to export to PDF). If you want to produce books for all platforms and readers, then you need to use .epub format and a different app, like Pages or Indesign.   With epub format you would probably not normally try to embed fonts but just rely on the reader to supply whatever Gujarati font is already on the device.

IWeb 08 - Custom Fonts not loading Anymore

All,
When I had iWeb '06 installed I could use custom fonts when designing and the fonts would display on any computer without having to install them. It seems that iWeb '06 used to load them as images.
Now in iWeb '08 that doesn't seem to be the case. Now you have to have the fonts on your system to view them. Anyone know a way in '08 to change this. Or should I just create those portions as images then add them to the page?
Thanks to all who respond.

HI phantom27,
While in iWeb, go to iWeb help and type in fonts in the search box.
In the results page, look at the bottom where it says "iWeb:Tips for making text appear consistant in all browsers. It will give you all the info you need.
