Embed font in pdf/a

Hi everybody !
I'm working on a SAP project and i wish know how to embed a font in a pdf/a file. I can not use common methode to process it. I can not use Acrobat or Microsoft Word in order to embed fonts.
Is anyone knows how can i embed fonts in pdf/a ? i've try to use embedded file stream dictionary and File specification dictionary but it's not allowed in pdf/a.
I read many and many times the PDF Reference 1.4 in order to know how to use font in that file but i did not find something ...
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot
Noel Adrien

Hi,
I've not explain my issue enought :
My problem is that i use a standard program from SAP for generating pdf file. Then, i've to create a pdf/a file with this pdf.
And the two last things that i need to complete the file ( in respect with the ISO 19005 ) is managing colors and embed fonts.
Is anyone knows how can i embed fonts in pdf/a file without using any software ? Clearly, what are the changing in the file ?
regards,
Noel Adrien

How to embed font into PDF - Listener 2.0.2 FOP configuration

I need to embed custom font into PDF report in order to print one of Slovenian characters: Č (C with caron) This character shows as # sign when I generate standard PDF report using Apex 4.2.2 and Listener 2.0.2. As far as I understand 14 native Adobe PDF fonts are based on Windows 1252 encoding. This encoding doesn't include mentioned Slovenian character.
Oracle White paper http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/learnmore/custom-pdf-reports-1953918.pdf says:
"APEX Listener 2.0.2 supports only the Base-14 fonts. To configure additional fonts, see this document: Apache(tm) FOP: Fonts "
I was able to embed my custom font into standard Apache FOP report server. Solution consist of saving two files my_font.ttf and my_font.xml to server and update of FOP userconfig.xml file (fonts part where path to saved 2 files have to be specified)
How can I do this on Apex Listener 2.0.2 ? Where is located userconfig.xml file?

Hello Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
There is no way we can control the fonts in the created PDF / while creating the PDF using the class cl_document_bcs in your PDF creation logic.
You can try some other approach of creating PDF from the Smartforms OTF stream data .
Try using the follosing FM for the PDF creation and sending email:
CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF
CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL
SO_OBJECT_SEND
CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL_NEW (Try this but this FM still uses the class that you are using currently. But give it a try and see the results)
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Greetson

How to embed fonts in PDF Pack (Adobe X)

I watched a video that showed a "preflight" button in the tool dropdown... I have to embed the Times New Roman font in a document, but cannot figure out how.....

The PDF Pack online subscription services Does Not Come With Acrobat (the desktop application).
As mentioned you must have Acrobat XI Pro in order to run a Preflight that will embed fonts.
Note that at Adobe's Acrobat product web pages you an make use of the link to download/install the free fully functional 30-day trial of Acrobat XI Pro.
But -- if all you have is Adobe Reader and a subscription to PDF Pack you have no means of embedding fonts.
Be well...

Embed fonts in PDF

I want to publish a book on lulu.com which I created with MS Word for Mac. It must be in PDF format with embeded fonts.
Firstly, how does one save a file as a PDF?
Secondly, how does one embed fonts?
Thanks!

There are several ways to make a PDF. The best way is the one that will give you the result with the end in mind.
If you're wanting to make sure the fonts are embedded & be used for Printing, I'd suggest making the PDF according to the PDF X-1a standard. This standard is set to do all the things you should need for a printer, except for making sure your images have enough resolution for printing.
The full version of Acrobat Distiller has this setting as a default. It's much harder to make a bad file with the X-1a standard. Saving to a PDF out of Microsoft is risky sometimes because Micorsoft applications don't always translate in the most reliable way.
Here's a website that can allow you to do it:

How to specify to the JRC to not embed fonts in PDF ?

I don't want the JRC to embed fonts in the generated pdf, could you please tell me the way to do this ?
Thanks in advance
Florian

I think there's no option for this. Though, using JRC's before the JRC included with Crystal Reports for Eclipse V2.0 will default to this behavior.

Can 6i Embed Fonts in PDF?

Is it possible to embed fonts into the PDF outputs created with reports 6i? If so, where is there information on how to do this for 6i?
Thanks,
Kurz

As you say, you cannot generate a PDF directly with the embedded font, but I discovered a trick:
Use the IX library config file to embed the font in the postscript output when reports runs, then convert the postscript into PDF with an embed fonts parameter to ps2pdf or ghostscript:
ps2pdf -dEmbedAllFonts=true reports_output.ps
This will create a PDF with the embeded font, and with the IX library, you can use TTF fonts.
Can this command be executed somehow automatically by pasta or IX after the report finishes?

Does Pages '09 embed font in PDF?

Well, my subject says it all.
Some PDF creators on Windows have the "embed fonts" option. Pages doesn't. However, I don't know if it does it by default when exporting to PDF.
Thanks,
Manu

It is OSX's Quartz Filters, and yes it does.
Absolutely correct. Almost. There is an exception in the rare case where fonts contain a flag that they cannot be embedded. There is some license restriction with these fonts.
You should get a message, when they are not embedded, but if you want to make doubly sure, open the generated PDF in Adobe Reader and check the file properties in the File menu. There you can see which fonts are embedded.

Embed fonts in pdf with Photoshop CC?

Hi,
I have done my CV using Photoshop so it's full of text with specific fonts. My problem is that when I save the CV in .pdf file, people can't see the pdf correctly if they don't have those specific fonts. I don't want to sent my CV as an image, so How could I embed the fonts in a PDF file to ensure that everybody can open the file correctly?
Thanks in advance.

It amazes me that nobody has responded to your request.
What request?
As far as I can tell on my end fonts are embedded in pdfs created with Photoshop.
If you want to trouble-shoot the issue you are having you may have to do more than express amazement …
How exactly do you create the pdfs, what are the fonts that fail to embed, what are the exact Photoshop and OS versions you use, …?
And the OP’s statement
if they download the pdf and they open it with adobe reader, then everything is ok.
seems to indicate that the problem is not on Adobe’s side.

Trying to embed font in pdf

I am trying to embed a font in a pdf - I have the fonts on my local machine but when the pdf is sent out to a client they only see blobs. I have looked for an option to embed and there isnt anything on the pdf for this. I looked in the help and it said to go to Touchup tool - but I dont have that either. Can anybody help? The two fonts I am using MetaOT-Book and GoudyCatalogBT. I am using adobe 9. I am exporting a Crystal Reports file into a pdf file.
Many thanks for any help

Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat?

Can I embed fonts in a pdf document?

I wish to publish a Pages document and to do this I need to convert it to pdf and ensure that my fonts can be embedded into the pdf document. I am not sure how to proceed. How do you embed fonts in PDF from Pages 4.1?

Preview does a nice job of embedding fonts. You can open a pdf with non-embedded fonts in Preview and then print->save as pdf creates one with fonts embedded. I had seen this in MacOSX Hints originally and it works for me.
For seeing what fonts are embedded (or not), pdffonts is a very nice utility, which i think now comes with poppler, or you can build from their git.

Embed fonts(Barcode) while generating Reports in PDF

Hi Everyone,
I have browsed through the similar topics and found that many have the opinion that embeding the fonts in Reports is not possible. But What if there is a report in PDF with a number in Barcode font to be mailed to a destination which does not have the font installed on the PC. Fonts cannot be sent across as they are protected by copyright. Thousands of recipients cannot be asked to buy the font.
Please help me with a work around.
Thanks

hello,
starting with 9i, oracle reports is able to embed fonts into PDF files. it uses font subsetting to add the font definitions used in the particular file to the file itself, so you can display the document although you might not have the fonts installed.
at the moment (in 6i) this feature is not there. a way around that yould be to use adobes PDFwrite to produce the PDFs. it is also able to embed fonts into the document.

the oracle reports team

How do I embed fonts into Captivate projects?

This question came up in May 2006 but was never really
answered. I'd like to know how to embed fonts into my Captivate
projects so that the output looks the same on all computers. While
the text animations are fine, the Text Caption fields are the ones
that seem to have fonts that go walkies on other computers. I know
you can embed fonts in PDFs. Why not in Captivate (unless I'm
missing something in 2.0).

First, a tip for the forums: If you use the URL tags, your
post won't require horizontal scrolling - sorry, but I use Firefox
and entering a long URL totally blows my ability to smoothly read
the post ... you can manually add a text link by using the "L" tag
as shown below (I've put spaces in to avoid this being turned into
another text link)
[ L = Your Text]
http://www.yourdomain.com [ /
L ]
Back to your issue, Charinos. I'm glad you did find the URL,
but that thread and your problem are not even in the same world.
That thread deals with fonts in text-entry boxes (boxes for
end-user text-entry), and you are talking about text-captions, an
entirely different object.
In fact, if you make changes and save those changes to a
text-caption, then publish the project, the fonts in your text
captions will remain stable and are not dependent on the fonts
installed on the end-viewer's machine. The reason is that when the
SWF is compiled, the text captions are converted to images and so
long as the file is viewed as intended in the HTML document - at
the proper size - the stretching you describe cannot take place.
I'm not saying you are seeing things, but if my understandings of
the Captivate machine are correct, what you are saying is happening
cannot
be happening. Something else is going on, like a failure to
save changes, use of non-conforming text-caption boxes with a
resultant loss of margins, or something.
Sorry I'm not more help. I can't duplicate what you are
seeing but I hope someone else can help you out - I may still be
misunderstanding your issue.

How remove embedded font from PDF

When I print to PDF on Mac OS 10.6.8 by default embed fonts to PDF-file. It add unnecessary bites to PDF-file (the file is huge size).
How to remove this option of fonts embedding? Or how remove embedded font from PDF file?

After opening dozens and dozens of linked files,I finally found the offending "empty line of text" in one of the AI files I placed in the INDD file. Open > Select All.... then check the font panel. With mixed fonts, it was empty, but if everything was the correct font, it was filled in. It was just one AI file.
I want to thank you all for your great ideas and for sharing your experience. Onward, now.

How to embed font into generated PDF?

Hi,
I have an issue with cyrillic fonts in PDF-file, generated from smartform using the following mechanism:
1. Run FM for smartform with ==> getotf = 'X'
2. Perform CONVERT_OTF retrieving result into a XSTRING.
3. Converting xstring content into a table using "cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix).
4. Creating mail to an external internet user with attached pdf ==> using "cl_document_bcs=>create_document..."
Smartform contains cyrillic content, based on HELVCYR (Helvetica cyrillic) font. Application server is based on Windows.
Everything worked well (for months!) for allmost all of the clients of our customer. Of course, some of clients have different OS-es (such as Linux, Mac OS, etc.), and then the problem starts - they doens't view properly the cyrillic content. English content (even numbers, etc.) are properly displayed. We found what fonts are used in the PDF, but my questions are:
1. Is it possible to embed the font into generated PDF-content?
2. If no, is it possible to generate PDF-content non-selectable (i.e. in some image mode) ?
If yes, how to do this?
Or is there any other way to workarround this issue - to be able to display mail with attached PDF-content with cyrillic on different OS-es? It would be better if it is possible without calling external converter...
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
