Difference in text rendering between PDF and Mars?

I was doing some testing with Mars and stumbled upon what
seemed like suboptimal text rendering. Because it was quite subtle
and I wanted to make sure there was an actual difference, I did a
little comparison between PDF and Mars rendering.
See this image. Can
you see a difference?
I'm still not sure whether there is an actual difference, but
I still somehow got the impression that the upper example (PDF) is
a little more polished then the lower one (Mars). Are different
rendering paths actually used? Will it remain that way?
My SVG for Mars was very simple:
<text font-size="10pt" x="20" y="20" fill="rgb(0,0,0)"
font-family="F0">aex</text>
The PDF was produced with MS Office 2007 and Microsofts Save
as PDF plugin (also at 10pts). The font is Gentium.

The difference *IS* subtle, but you're right -- there does
appear to be a perceptible difference between the two samples.
Without making an in-depth study, it's hard to say whether we
can do anything about this. Even though they're both opened in
Acrobat, the rendering path for a Mars document is *VERY* different
from the path for a PDF document, and many of the events along the
chain are out of the control of those of us writing the Mars
plugin. There are some text-quality issues that I'd like to take
care of in time for our next release, however; perhaps I'll be able
to address this particular issue at the same time.

Difference in font rendering between 8 and 9

I've got a PDF that appears differently in Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9. In Acrobat 8 there are fonts that have remapped to the "undefined" character - boxes instead of letterforms. In Acrobat 9 the file looks correct. "Use local fonts" is turned off in both versions.
My RIP rendered the PDF as it appeared in Acrobat 8.
I've my system fonts pared down to the minimum. In Acrobat 9 I can even convert the font to outlines (via PitStop). Anybody got any idea where Acrobat 9 is pulling these fonts from? The fonts in question on this file are ArialNarrow-Bold, ArialNarrow-BoldItalic, and TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT.

Use getFont() on each to the comonents to make sure they are using the same font.

Difference in the Balance between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Curr

Hi,
When i am trying to match the Balances between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Currency for the Period 8, we are getting the difference, The reconcilliaton Account was changed on 30.08.2010.
Please help Us in tracing the differences between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Currency.
What could be the possible reasons for the differences..
Thanks

Hi Varshani,
Please use the program/report SAPF070 to compare or reconcile your AR with GL balances. You can use SAPF071 to correct any inconsistencies. Provided below documentation for these programs.
SAPF070 - Compare Documents and Account Transaction Figures
Description
This program compares debit and credit transaction figures in customer, vendor, and G/L accounts with the debit and credit totals from documents posted in the corresponding posting period (accounting reconciliation). The sales totals are also compared for customer and vendor accounts. There is no separate comparison for special G/L transactions.
A comparison for G/L accounts can be made in company code currency and in parallel currencies (such as group currency). A comparison for customer and vendor accounts can only be made in company code currency.
After the program has finished, a message is issued to the user that started the program. This message summarizes the results of the reconciliation.
Output
The program compares the totals of an account on a periodic basis. If the debit and credit total differs between account and documents, the account is printed with the debit and credit totals and the difference.
Differences in G/L accounts are shown per transaction currency. The first line shows the amount in local currency, the second line shows the amounts in transaction currency.
If a document which falls within the selection range is posted during the program run, the program is terminated since a reliable result can no longer be delivered.
SAPF071 - Adjust Balances after Comparing Documents/Transaction Figures
Description
If a financial accounting comparative analysis (SAPF190) or a comparison of documents and transaction figures (SAPF070) shows that there are differences between documents and transaction figures, you can use this program to make an adjustment. The documents form the basis for this adjustment. The program adjusts the (redundant) transaction figures, which are only totals of amounts from documents.
Requirements
All of the following listed requirements must be fulfilled:
1. A financial accounting comparative analysis (SAPF190) or a comparison of documents and transaction figures (SAPF070) must be made, and differences must be found between documents and transaction figures.
2. There must not be any inconsistent documents found. These are listed in both SAPF070 and SAPF190 as well as in this program.
3. There cannot be any problems in the other modules. Caution: You have to check this yourself. Financial Accounting may be correct but the other modules may not be, and this will adversely affect the program run.
4. You can only make the adjustment in the ledgers which are compared by program SAPF070. This is ledger 00 or a user-defined ledger for all parallel local currencies except the group currency. (The program displays these ledgers). You have to adjust any additional ledgers as well as average balance ledgers yourself.
5. No documents during the period in which you are adjusting transaction figures can be archived. Caution: You must ensure that these documents are not archived by establishing appropriate organizational rules and procedures.
Only use this program after consulting with SAP or after checking the prerequisites thoroughly.
You should adjust all differences together for a single company code. By setting the program parameters you can limit the adjustment to G/L currency types or to balances in subledgers.
It is advisable to execute a test run first, which will list any differences that are found.

Differences between PDF and TIF

Printing a file to TIF or pdf as a bitmap image format gives me WYSIWYG
However, when I print the same file in pdf format, part of the data on the right side of the page is missing although the print preview looks good.
As far as I know, in the first case, the printer is dealing with raster data whereas in the second case, the printer is dealing with vector data.
I would like to know more about the differences between raster and vector printing and I would appreciate if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this.
Thanks in advance!

This has nothing to do with the pdf specification, but a function of the
software running, the OS, and the printer driver. If part of the data is
missing the problem probably lies with the application software or the
printer driver. If you are using Acrobat to create the pdf, please
repost in that forum, that is where you will get the most help.

Is there a way to stop the text shifting between mac and pc?

I can't believe there is still no fix to the vertical text shift issue when transferring fla's between Mac and PC's. Create an fla on a Mac put some text in it, save the file and open it on a PC and see how the text has dropped.
Adobe please tell me I'm missing something here or at least acknowledge the problem and explain the cause.
This problem has plagued flash for as long as I can remember. None of the other applications (Photoshop, Illustrator etc) have this problem. It wastes huge amounts of time and causes massive quality control issues especially when outsourcing work.
We're using CS3 now and the problem is as bad as ever. It happens with all text fields and all font types.
Please help.

Don't get your hopes up that anyone from Adobe will see your posting. These are user to user forums and appearances by anyone from Adobe are rare.

Parts of masked line art and text appearing in PDF and (some) in InDesign files

Hello Adobe community,
I was wondering if someone can shed any light on an issue (or possibly 2 issues) I am having. I am using CC on a Mac. Software versions are Illustrator CC 17.1, InDesign 10.1.0.71, Acrobat 11.0.07.
Firstly in InDesign there is some screen residue appearing on the frame edge. The problem seems to be sporadic and not on every page of a 100pg+ document. The residue is appearing from a vector file of a map and this part of the map is masked with a compound path in Illustrator. The following is a screen snapshot of the Indesign file. (The little red arrow is not part of the file - it's just pointing out the problem)
The placed Illustrator file looks like this. The following snapshots shows the .ai file, the isolated compound path and outline mode showing what is happening beyond the compound path.
The horizontal arrow in the above (outline) snapshot shows part of the art that then occurs in the pdf. The vertical arrow shows where the compound path begins.
When I make a pdf not only does the fine line occur but part of the art beyond the compound path occur.
First arrow indicates fine line. Second arrow indicates the part of the masked artwork that is showing.
If anyone could suggest what may be causing this issue, that would be tremendous. I also cannot understand why this happens with just some of the masked artwork.
Thanks in advance
Stef

Stephane,
You should try to persuade Illy to update to 18.1.1.
You may try to restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it.
You may also try this specialized forum (where you may be able find the answer from previous threads),

How do I enter text onto a PDF and have it automatically update in an Indesign file?

I am trying to enter text into an application form and then include the updated application into an extended indesign file. I would like to be able to change elements of the application, which would then automatically update in the Indesign file. I am having trouble doing this.

I received an application in PDF and want to fill it out with my personal text, but I would also like to include supplemental documents with the application and thus have placed the PDF and the other documents it into an Indesign file. If I were to change some portion of the personal text in the PDF, it would be great if it could automatically update in the Indesign file. How else would you suggest I go about doing this?
Thanks!

Differences in sort order between iTunes and iPod

Can someone explain how the sort order of artists / albums works? It seems that it is different between iTunes and the iPod. In iTunes (7.3.1) I can enter data in the fields for Artist, Album Artist, Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist. When I get the tracks to appear in the order I want in iTunes, it doesn’t seem to transfer across to my iPod. I know there are some differences in how the sort order works in both, but how is it different?

ou must have an older iPod.
I believe the new sort order only works on the new iPods (Nano and Video)

Difference in event handling between Java and Java API

could anyone list the differences between Java and java-API in event handling??
thanks,
cheers,
Hiru

the event handling mechanisms in java language
features and API (java Application Programming
Features)features .no library can work without a
language and no language has event handling built in.
I am trying to compare and contrast the event
handling mechanisms in the language and library
combinations such as java/ java API.
all contributions are welcome!
thanks
cheersSorry, I'm still not getting it. I know what Java is, and I know what I think of when I hear API. (Application Programming Interface.) The API is the aggregation of all the classes and methods you can call in Java. If we agree on that, then the event handling mechanisms in Java and its API are one and the same.
So what do you want to know?

Is it possible to download and save all texts exchanged between myself and one other person onto a file on my laptop?

There are many hilarious and sweet texts between me and a friend, and he lost his phone. Therefore, I am now the only one who has access to them, and so I am wondering if I can somehow download them onto my MacBook so I can send them to him as an attachment. I am using an iPhone 3GS with IoS5.
Thanks!

Text rendering for PDFs using Reader 10, 11 in Windows 8

Shortly after a Reader update to 11.02, around March 1st, I noticed that the resolution for text in my PDF files is terrible. It does not get better by zooming in or out. I thought it was the update, but I am having the same problem with v10.
What happened? It was working just great, and now it is hard to read. What did I do?

Moved the discussion from Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8 to Adobe Reader (desktop app).

I have a swing application using JTextField,JTextArea and JList.When I use a font
for an Indian Language for these components,the JList shows the data correctly
but the other components shows it with junk characters.Is there a difference in the font rendering behaviour of JList from others?

Use getFont() on each to the comonents to make sure they are using the same font.

Difference between pdf and html report format

Why HTML report printouts truncate from the right-end side, compare to the pdf report format ?, do i need to change anything
while running report through HTML format

The printing from html output is majorly affected by browser settings. Once you try to change the left and right margins in page setup before printing, I solved this problem in this way , it may work for you. Let me know if it works or if you overcome it by other ways.
with regards
