Custom fonts not displayed when PDF is generated using 10g Report builder

Hi
I have two fonts , abc.ttf and def.ttf which I have placed under C:\Windows\fonts. One of these displays a logo and the other displays barcode
I have added the environment variable REPORTS_PATH which has value C:\Windows\fonts. I have also added entries for PDF Subset in uifont.ali.
But still when I run the report and out to a PDF file, the fonts are not displayed. They are remapped to some other fonts.
When I check PDF document properties in Adobe reader, under fonts tab it says
abc
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
def
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
uifont.ali entries
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
# Arial = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
abc= "abc.ttf"
def="def.ttf"
In Oracle reports builder, I am able see these fonts and select them in my report layout
I am able to see the fonts in Preview/screen output while running RDFs in my reports builder, but PDF output doesnt display these fonts
Is there anything else which is required to do ? Do I need to restart the machine after environment variable is added ?

In one PC were Report Builder is installed, we see "COURIER NEW - WESTERN" font and the RDF created / saved in that font works fine on server. I don't know if this helps!

Unicode character not displaying when PDF is created using PDFMaker

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
Our company letterhead contains a special character (Unicode 25AA "Black Small Square"). When a PDF is created of a Microsoft Word document (2003 or 2007) using the PDFMaker, that character is not displayed in Acrobat (shows as whitespace). Strangely enough, if I search for the character in that PDF file using the Acrobat search function (query "u/25AA"), the search finds the character, but again, it is displayed as whitespace.
However, if I create a PDF from that same Word document by printing to Adobe PDF, the character displays correctly in Acrobat. Additionally, if I do a SaveAs to PDF (Using the Microsoft plugin), the character displays correctly in Acrobat. This leads me to believe that muy issue is related to the PDFMaker (as opposed to the PDF printing function) and how the character is embedded into the PDF file. I have tried opening the PDF in other versions of Acrobat, but I get the same result.
Any suggestions? We would like to utilize the convenience of the PDFMaker for our letters and reports, and not have to use the print function. I can email a sample of all the PDF's I spoke of upon request, but the issue should be reproducable using the following steps:
1. Open MS Word and type (or copy from the Character Map) unicode character 25AA in Arial font.
2. Save Word file.
3. Use PDFMaker to create PDF file.
4. Open PDF file and view results.
Any guidance or help is appreciated.

First, check the fonts in the PDF to be sure that they are not embedded (you are likely correct that there is a problem). What job settings are you using. Try the press or print. Also check the job settings to be sure that ALL fonts are to be embedded.
Also, check the log file of Distiller (set it to not be deleted in the settings). If there is an issue with the license of the font then the font will not be embedded. In that case you need to find a licensed version of the font or change to a different font.

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:
1) Load Regmon
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
4) Click <OK>

Embedded fonts not displaying when building project via mxmlc

I have a flex 3 project and I'm trying to upgrade it to flex 4.6 sdk. I have a number of embedded fonts in my application. These display fine when I build via Eclipse/Flash builder. When I build using mxmlc the embedded fonts are not being used. I build the fonts in the same way for both so I am assuming there is some compiler option which I am missing, or which I have that is causing the problem. I've tried every compiler option I can think of and now I'm at a dead end...
<target name="compile" depends="getswcs, compilemodules">
     <echo message="mxmlc=${mxmlc}"/>
     <echo message="flex.lib.dir=${flex.lib.dir}"/>
     <echo message="flex.extlib.dir=${flex.extlib.dir}"/>
     <echo message="flex.locale=${flex.locale}"/>
     <echo message="flex.locale.dir=${flex.locale.dir}"/>
     <exec executable="${mxmlc}" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
          <arg line="'src/${main}'" />
          <arg line="-o 'bin/${component.lowercase.name}.swf'" />
          <arg line="-l+='${flex.lib.dir}'" />
          <arg line="-sp src" /> <arg line="-accessible" />
          <arg line="-strict" />
          <arg line="-el '${flex.extlib.dir}'" />
          <arg line="-compatibility-version=3.0.0" />
          <arg line="-target-player '11.1'" />
          <arg line="-include-libraries+=lib" />
          <arg line="-locale ${flex.locale}" />
          <arg line="-l+='${flex.locale.dir}'" />
     </exec>
</target>
The compileModules builds my fonts, for example:
<exec executable="${mxmlc}" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
     <arg line="fonts/OCRAEXT.as" />
     <arg line="-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries" />
     <arg line="-o bin/lib/OCRAEXT.swf" />
</exec>`
as file:
public class OCRAEXT extends Sprite {
     [Embed(source='OCRAEXT.TTF', fontName='_OCRAEXT', embedAsCFF='false', unicodeRange='U+0030-U+0039,U+002E,U+002F,U+20AC')]
public static var font:Class; }
I don't think there's an issue here, since the fonts are already built via my compileModules before building the application in Eclipse, where the fonts display correctly.

Try comparing SWF sizes and link-reports.

CRXIR2 image from blob field and some fonts not displaying in PDF export

I used CRXIR2 developer edition to create a report linked to a SQL 2000 database table. There is a blob field containing a JPG image that is different for each record in the table. I am using VB.NET code with ASP.NET 2.0 to programmatically change the temp file to a local folder for easy cleanup, open this crystal report with the 11.5.3700.0 version of the assemblies, set the datasource to a DataTable extracted from the DB, and then export to a PDF file.
The code for creating the PDF is:
        Dim TempRoot As String = MapPath(".") & "\temp\"
        Dim oldTmp As String = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TMP")
        System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", TempRoot)
        Dim objReport As New ReportDocument()
        objReport.Load(MapPath(".") & "\CReports\" & ReportName)
        For lnX As Integer = 0 To objReport.Database.Tables.Count - 1
                objReport.Database.Tables(lnX).SetDataSource(resultTable)
        Next
        Dim objDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
        Dim objExportOptions As New ExportOptions()
        Dim objFormatTypeOptions As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
        Dim pdfName As String = "test.pdf"
        objDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = MapPath(".") & "\temp\" & pdfName
        objExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
        objExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
        objExportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = objDestinationOptions
        objReport.Export(objExportOptions)
        objReport.Dispose()
        System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", oldTmp)
When I run the site locally in VS2008, everything works fine and a PDF contains the graph and all the fonts are correct.
However, when I run the exact same site from a web server running IIS6, the PDF generated does not have the image, and some of the fonts are substituted (all of the necessary fonts are installed on the IIS server).
Please help!

Hi Don,
I am able to see the image and export from the CR Designer on my machine running XP. However, I installed the designer on our IIS server running Server 2003, and the image does not show in the designer preview on that machine.
I found another forum thread that you are involved in (1902383) that seems to be dealing with this exact issue, and it looks like there may not be a resolution.
I am going to try a different route - instead of pulling in the SQL Image field directly, I am going to write it out to a temporary file and pull it in by altering the graphic location of the picture object in the report.
I'll let you know how that works.

MICR font not displayed in PDF on SUSE Linux Server for Check Writer (XML)

We are generating checks by running the Check Writer(XML) concurrent request and are not able to see MICR fonts on the Check. We downloaded the free version from IDAutomationSMICR.ttf and the fonts were registered under /usr/local/fonts/micr directory. I registered in APPS and uploaded the file IDAutomationSMICR.ttf. Am I missing any steps. The DBA's have registered the fonts under /usr/local/fonts/micr on SUSE Linux Server . The custom Checks are generated but no luck with the fonts. Please advise. Can I download MICR fonts other than IDAutomation site? Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Hari

I use version 11i, so the steps are probably different. Download a font file (gnuMICR for me). Extract it to a location of your choice on your operating system.
Follow these steps to load the MICR font to the server. (Step 11 was missing in some of the metalink documents in late 2007. I think Jan. 2008 will be OK).
1.     Log in as XML Publisher Administrator.
2.     Navigate to Administration->Font Files->Create Font File.
3.     Fields are Font Name and File. For Font Name choose any descriptive name. File will browse your PC to locate the font file.
4.     Navigate to Font Mappings->Create Font Mapping Set.
5.     Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts. [MICR Font]
6.     Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set. [MICR]
7.     Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
8.     Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add multiple fonts to a set).
9.     Font Family is the exact same name you see in Word under Fonts. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime. [GnuMICR]
10.     Style and weight must also match how you use the font in Windows. Normal and Normal are good defaults. [Normal, Normal]
11.     DO NOT enter Language or Territory
12.     Choose a value for Font Type. [Truetype]
13.     Search for the Font you just created in step 3. [GnuMICR]
14.     Navigate to Configuration -> FO Processing -> Font Mapping Set. Can also be done at data def and template level under Edit Configuration. Hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
15.     Select your new mapping set.
16.     Make sure the font is not referenced under File->Properties->Custom in the RTF template file.
17.     Select a temporary directory on your concurrent processing node (Configuration -> General). This needs to be a private area not shared by other processes, read writeable by the applmgr (owner of the $APPL_TOP file system). It should be fairly large 5 GB or 20x larger than any datafile being used. The fonts will be downloaded here the first time they are used.
18.     Also at this site level select your font mapping set.
19.     Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview.

Chinese Characters not display when PDF for marketing doc

Hi All,
I have typed in some Chinese Characters into a Print Layout Document.
I am able to print these documents with the Chinese characters. But I am not able to display these Chinese Characters when I click on PDF.
Please advise.

Jessie

Hi Gordon,
I have applied the various asian language service pack for the Adobe Reader.
However, i am still not able to see the Chinese Characters in the PDF document when click on the PDF at SAP B1's Toolbar.
Step 1 : Update a PLD with Chinese Characters (as text or from database field). Eg. AR Invoice.
Step 2 : Set the PLD as Default Layout.
Step 3 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on Preview. Chinese Character is able to be previewed and printed.
Convert to PLD.
Step 4 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on PDF button at the Toolbar. Preview the PDF document. No Chinese Characters are displayed.
Is it due to Localisation? Localisation = Singapore
Please advise.
Regards
Jessie

TypeKit Fonts Not Displaying When Published to Web

Hello everyone. After noodling around the forums, I found the method for using non-Edge fonts from TypeKit in a Muse site. For some reason, however, it doesn't seem to work. My workflow if below. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a specific font I should be using in Muse in the hopes it gets overwritten by TypeKit?
1. Setup and publish TypeKit.
     a. Added Adobe Garamond Pro as font.
     b. Created selector of .body_garapro for that font.
     c. Publish changes.
2. In Muse:
     a. Copy embed code from TypeKit into Head via page properties for Master Page.
     b. Create paragraph style called body_garapro. (In this paragraph style, I tried using good old web safe font Arial and the edge web font Garamond EB. In either case neither was replaced. I made sure not to use a system font to avoid the image output issue.)
     c. Export site as HTML, upload via FTP to domain entered into TypeKit...and no TypeKit replacement.
I also made sure that my test text had no overrides and was using the straight body_garapro paragraph style.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In the web template properties there was a setting named "Force Variable Screen Display" make sure it is checked.

Logo image not displayed in PDF preview in HFR Studio reports

Hello All
I need to display a logo image on every page of an hfr report. The logo is visible in web-preview and print preview. But when the report is run in PDF preview, logo is not visible.
A header text box is also used which visible in all formats but not the logo.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Neha

The image is a jpg image. I have also tried using and image already saved in hfr's repository.
But still I'm not able get the image in pdf format of report*
The same image is visible in web-preview and print preview*
I don't think issue is because of position of image because I tried including the image in an empty report as well.
The problem is still there with the pdf preview*
Is there something else that could be done to display the image in pdf preview of report????
Thanks in advance..

Country name in Chinese not displaying in PDF

Hi Experts
I am working on a Chinese localisation DB and when I export any docs to PDF the country name disappears. Print preview is fine . I have checked the forum and found the following link Chinese Characters not display when PDF for marketing doc which was helpful but unable to resolve the issue even after using different Chinese recognisable font. Just like to know how to get around this ?
Has any one comeup with this kind of issue ? Any help will be appreciated.
regards
Johnson

Hi All,
The issue has been fixed. There is a SAP note 1406074 as per the sap note,
Exporting Chinese/Japanese character correctly, involves a setting of the layout in SAP Business One.
1. Open the document layout.
2. Go to Print Layout Designer > Display Document Properties > Format tab;
3. Tick the "E-Mail Layout" checkbox, and choose a Chinese / Japanese font (E.g. MS Mincho)
4. Save the layout and set as default.
5. Export to PDF.
I had always changed the format to Chinese but never ticked the ' E-mail Layout box' This is just for information & thanks to Gordon and Rakesh for the inputs.
regards
Johnson

Custom fields not display in SRM5.5 Basic Data Frame

Hello Everybody,
      I am working on SRM5.5 Server which i have to add two custom fields in Basic Data Frame..
     No field is display in basic data frame After I added those fields in INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF.
    I added these fields by help of 672960 OSS notes..
   Add also when i execute the program BBP_DYNPROS_GENERATE where I entered the program name as SAPLBBP_PDH_CUF and execute but non of them is working fine..
Is there anything else do i need to display custom fields in basic data frame??
I have one more question..
When you logon through SAPGUI and goto BBPSC01 t.code where you see lots of fields in basic data frame such as unloading point and all.. But those all fields does not display when you logon through WebURL..
I checked is there any BAdi such CUF or Screenvarient or some Badi has been actived but non of the Badi has been implemented..
To display all the fields which are display in GUI Mode also should display in URL..
To bring this functionality , What do i need to do?
I appreciate if you answer these questions..
Thanks,
John.

Hi Disha,
We are trying to add custom fields to the Shopping Cart Header. We are using SRM 5.0. We added the fields to the structures "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_SC" & "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF". We are able to see the custom fields. But the issue is , we are able to see the custom fields in the Shopping Cart one step shop scenario. Whereas when we run the wizard which is a 3 step scenario, we are not able to see the custom fields.
Technically speaking, the custom fields are visible for the ITS BBPSC01 & BBPSC03 , where as these custom fields are not visible for the ITS BBPSC02.
Please let me know, if we need to append the fields to some other structure to be able to see them in the Shopping cart wizard also.
I will be gald to provide any kind of info.
Thanks in advance...

Adobe Reader Will Not Display Large PDFs

When using the Adobe Reader app on PlayBook it will not display some PDFs. It seems that it will not display PDFs that are too large.
Some files that might be too large do not display while smaller files do display in the app. The too large range could be in the 12 MB region where the good range could be 6 MB or less.
I tried to submit feedback to BlackBerry on this issue but it returned my email saying it could not process my request. I am hoping that they read it here.
Here is a link to a page with both readable and unreadable files:
http://www.bossus.com/backstage/product_manuals/?group=2
A readable PDF is the owner's manual for the RV-3. A unreadable PDF is the owner's manual for the RC-3.

That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect. You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

Preview.app will not display some PDF files

Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.
