Embed Fonts converting xdp to pdf

Hi,
I saved some documents as xdp files. I need now to generate pdf files form it using LiveCycle Forms, how can I make LiveCycle Forms to embed the fonts into the generated pdf?
Thank you

Hi Neptas,
It's been a long time since you posted this message but do you still remember how do you embed fonts when using LiveCycle?
Thanks.

  • How to embed fonts in an existing pdf document

    PDF Documents I am creating and emailing to my clients are showing up missing bargraps and text. I suspect embedding is not working. Is it possible or even needed to embed fonts in an existing pdf document? Or, is that done during pdf creation? -MikeT

    You'd want embedded fonts with your PDFs so as to assure fidelity of your content.
    If my local machine does not have the font used in the PDF what I view may be / can be something "off" from what you mastered.
    Perhaps squares instead of language characters.
    Distiller job options such as High Quality Print or Press Quality embed fonts (Standard does not).
    For a PDF that does not have embedded fonts a Preflight Fixup can be used to embed fonts (even one for hidden text from Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact) OCR output).
    Need Acrobat 9 Pro or Pro Extended.
    The fonts must be on the local machine and "known" to the OS.
    The fonts must have no license restriction(s) that preclude embedding.

  • Completely Embed Font (not Subset) in PDF several methods not working

    Hi,
    I have an Illustrator CS5 file, on a Windows 7 PC.
    I have used "Save As" direclty from Illustrator, also "Print" with Distiller and finally the Acrobat Pro 9 "Preflight" "Fixups" to Embed Fonts.
    This has included setting subsetting to 0% and in the "Print" dialogue when using the Distiller method, changing the font dropdown to "Complete".
    I do not want to convert my font to outlines, because of the changes this causes. I do not want to subset - but completely embed the fonts.
    This is driving me insane, and I really would appreicate any suggesstions. Please help!

    Thank you for your excellent posts. I am saving your posts for future reference.
    I e-mailed the printer and got this reply:
    "A 100% font embedding is actually not possible in most InDesign versions and in fact Adobe’s product never do it. It is really a bug from Adobe and it doesn’t work! Subsetting is therefore also perfectly fine and doesn’t pose a problem at all for printing."
    I think the instructions from their website are rubbish. They seem to do this to cover their own backs / make statements that aren't true just to keep everything simple, so that truly idotic people can still create PDFs to send to them for printing. Whenever I e-mail them, I get intelligent replies, that usually contradict the rubbish on their website.
    They accept PDF-2008, so their workflow can't be that old, I guess. (I'm a designer, I just know the minimum required about print technicalities!)
    Our previous printer wanted everything in PDF-X1a, and subsetted fonts, and they had no certifications of any kind, yet we always got good results from them.
    onlineprinters.com say this about their certifications: http://www.onlineprinters.com/Certified-quality.htm?websale7=diedruckerei;02-aa&tpl=02-aa/ $ws-cms/uu_certicied_quality.html&type=zertifizierte_qualitaet_hnavi_b
    and they say they have the latest gear from Heidelberg and KBA:
    http://www.onlineprinters.com/uu_offset_printing.htm?websale7=diedruckerei;02-aa&tpl=02-aa /$ws-cms/uu_offset_printing.html
    and have 40,000m2 of production space. I think they know what they're doing, but whoever writes the website should be fired!

  • Converting XDPs to PDFs

    My company, Viga Technologies, has recently developed an object which converts Adobe Livecycle Templates (XDP) to PDF automatically. It can be deployed as a server side object to be incorporated into existing applications, as a stand alone application or as a service to be performed by our company on a per-form basis. The basic input is an Adobe Designer Template (XDP) as well as an XML data file to be merged into the final PDF. It is extremely fast and generates PDFs which have a 60-70 percent smaller file size than PDFs generated by Adobe Designer. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

    The file size decrease is noted in all XDP to PDF conversions, regardless of content. If you would like a demo copy, please send your company contact information me and you will recieve a customized demo version. Thankyou.

  • Embed Fonts savinf a form (pdf)

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me what is the difference from saving a form with or withour embed forms selected?
    Without embed fonts selected, the form get smaller, what it is better, but what is the disadvantage?
    Thank you

    Hi Chris,
    I know this is a dead discussion but I am having many problems with embedding. Basically (1), after saving as Dynamic PDF with fonts embedded and with permanently replace all fonts I still get weird replacements when the file is opened in Reader. Then (2), when I tried to replace all the substitutions with Arial and Times and NOT embed the PDF still shows some embedded fonts (Myriad, Franklin) when opened in Reader in doc properties. This seems Very buggy?! Is there any known issue and/or workaround. Thanks!

  • Embed fonts late in existing PDF-document

    Hello,
    I already searched for hours to find a way to embed fonts in existing pdf-documents.
    I tryed it in these ways:
         1. Creating a PS-file out of the PDF-file and the creating a PDF-file out of the PS-file --> it doesn't work, because the PS-file can not be created
         2. editing the PDF-file via the adobe sdk wich is installed whith the AdobeAcrobatStandard9 --> I don't find a way to set the fonts to embedded
    I now that it is possible to embed the fonts while open the pdf-document manually and edit it with the TouchUp-Tool. But this way we can not handle, because we need to edit thousands of documents. So we need a solution wich works as a CommandLine-Tool or so.
    I hope anyone have an idea and can help me
    Thanks a lot
    Clemens

    Acrobat 9 Standard does not have the capability.  It is, however,
    available as part of Acrobat 9 Professional.  That solution can also be
    used as part of a Batch Process to address your volume needs.
    There are no command line options available.
    Also, don't forget that Acrobat can NOT be used on a server...

  • Fully embed fonts when saving as PDF

    Hi,
    I am saving an Illustrator file as PDF and in the Save As PDF settings dialogue pages, no matter what I do regarding fonts, the final PDF file always outlines some of the fonts instead of embedding it.
    (I tried various settings for "Subset fonts when percent of characters used is less than XX%" including 0%, 1%, or 100%, it didn't make any difference)
    Is there a way to force Illustrator into embedding fonts when saving as PDF?
    Thanks.

    Monkia/Steve,
    I followed up on another thread and it turned out this one joins the discussion there.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/6246758#6246758
    I made some additional tests and we concluded there that Save As PDF and Print to PDF from Illustrator do not work the same way. It doesn't solve my problem but it certainly helps move in the right direction...

  • How to embed fonts in XDP files

    Is there any way I can embed the Arial Narrow fonts in the xdp files?
    Is it true that If the fonts are embedded in the xdp files then the pdf generated from that xdp will populate the font correctly even though that particular font is not installed? What about printing that pdf? If the font shows correctly on the scree, will it print correct too?
    Some of our clients are having issues printing the pdf which has Arial Narrow fonts. It prints gibberish.
    I have attached a pdf whoch shows gibberish letters.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The fonts will be embedded as long as the vendor of the fonts allows it. Even they are embeddable then yes the font will display properly on machines that do not have the font installed.....but note that your PDF will be much bigger becaise the font is embedded.

  • I am having trouble with colors in a font converted to a pdf.

    Hi all,
    I am using PSE 8 and having an issue when converting an image to PDF.
    I have text all in black on the PSD and when I convert it to a PDF the very tips of the first and last letter are white.
    I need to have the document in PDF to upload to printer.
    Any advise?
    Thanks in advance for any information provided.
    EDIT: I can supply a picture of the issue if someone thinks that will be helpful. I am new to the forum and an amateur on Photoshop.

    This is what gypsy curse looks like in acrobat reader after saving as a pdf from pse 8 on a mac.
    Maybe you should try resetting the Type Tool or resetting the pse 8 preferences and see if one of those makes any difference.
    Resetting the Type Tool
    With the Type tool selected, click on the small down-turned arrow to the left of the Font Lisrt in the tool options bar and click on Reset Tool
    Reset the pse 8 preferences
    Press and hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after starting the launch of the pse 8 editor
    Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements settings file
    Press Yes

  • 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.

  • Fonts not embedded in PDF -- how to fix?

    I've been given a PDF that I need to place in an ID file (ID CS3).
    Several fonts are not embedded in the PDF (Univers and Stone Informal) so Adobe MM fonts are being substituted, and I get error messages about the missing fonts when I place the PDF pages in my ID file.
    I do happen to have all of the missing fonts, but loading them (and restarting Acrobat) didn't fix the problem. The PDF was created on Mac (according to the properties) so maybe my PC version of Acrobat isn't recognizing my fonts as being the same (font internal names or something being different?). When I try using Text Touch-Up, I'm told that, for example, the Stone Informal system font isn't available.
    Is there any way to fix this problem? I have no way of getting the source files or another copy of the original PDF with fonts embedded.
    FWIW, when I open one of the PDF pages in PS, PS does find my versions of the fonts and gives me no error messages. And I can see that the fonts are showing up correctly in the PS file.
    But I'd rather not use a bitmap -- I want to use the original PDF if possible (if I can figure out how to embed my fonts in it).
    The final product, BTW, will be a press-ready PDF of the ID file.
    TIA,
    Marlene

    I've got Acrobat 8.
    So if there's no way to embed fonts in the original PDF, I assume they also will not embed when I drop the PDF into my ID file and then create a new PDF of the ID file?
    I guess my only viable option is to open the PDF in PS and save the pages as TIFFs, and drop those into ID. I really hate to do that -- too much tiny text that gets fuzzy.

  • 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.

    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,

  • How to Embed Fonts and make Grayscale in Acrobat Pro 9 PDF

    I supplied my printer with a PDF but he says that I need to "Embed The Fonts" in the PDF.
    I made the original document in MS WORD and then I created the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 but nowhere
    along the way did I see anything that asked me to Embed The Fonts.
    He also says that the type is in RGB but it needs to be in Grayscale.
    When I created the PDF I didn't see any option along the way that gave me a choice between
    RGB and Grayscale.
    Any ideas how to achieve these two effects while going from an MS WORD document to a PDF using
    Acrobat Pro 9 please?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sorry to bother you with my problem but I wondered if you could explain a little bit more about things I didn't understand.
    1 - you said > On a Mac there is no advantage to using the Word plug-in.
    Do you mean that I can type directly into Acrobat?
    I thought that a document needed to be created in a word processor first before I could turn it into a PDF.
    Is that incorrect then?
    2 - > Create the pdf file a print file menu gives you greater control.
    I do apologize but I did not understand this statement either, could you please expand on it a little (to a non-techie.)
    3 - > If you use the Press job option setting, the fonts will be embedded.
    I can't find Press job option setting anywhere - I am using Acrobat pro 9 but there doesn't seem to be a menu with Press
    anywhere, could you please expand on this a little bit too please.
    4 - > If the pdf file has already been created it can be converted to greyscale using the Preflight or Convert Colors
    under Advanced -> Print Production.
    I understood this part and I executed it according to your instructions so thank you for that.
    Unfortunately I couldn't find out how to embed my fonts and my printer charged me $75 to do that
    so I was pretty upset about not being able to understand that part of your explanation.
    Since the printer was able to embed the fonts in a document that was already a PDF then it must be possible
    to embed fonts after a PDF has been created, is that correct?
    If that is correct then i don't know how I could not find how to do it because I looked everywhere for that
    ability but I could not find how to do it.
    I'd be very grateful for any further help you could give, thank you.

  • How to embed fonts in a PDF

    I have a book which uses Garamond Light Italic and Helvetica light Oblique. Only 2 styles of 2 fonts.
    The printer wants me to embed the entire font families with the PDF files.
    My problem is that I don't know how.
    All I know is that it will only embed the files being used in the document.
    Should I include one letter of each style of each of the 2 fonts, so that the computer will know which fonts to embed?
    Or, is it as simple as entering 100% in the Subset font below window?
    I'm certain there must be a better and easier way.
    Also, it there a way of verifying that the proper fonts have been embeded?
    Please, I need your advise.

    LilyLC, All seems to have come to a conclusion this afternoon.
    It seems that when I create individual pages, make PDFs of them and then merge them with PDF merge, what's happening is that the fonts are being embeded with each page. Apparently the RIP gets confused with all the fonts embeded and substitutes courier.
    The printer recommends that I save the entire book as one document, and convert that document into one PDF file, thereby, embending the fonts once.
    They guarantee that the book will print properly if I follow the above.
    I had been reading through the printers vast instructions and noticed the paragraph relating to this problem, and they confirmed it.
    They sent me a print out of the fonts embeded in my book and the 2 fonts were repeated for each page, 32 times.
    I called Quark about a distiller (whatever that is) and the Custom and Roman encoding. Their answer was that none of it was Quark related. I would have to speak to Adobe.
    I was made to understand that the only reason I would need a distiller is if I had postscript files to convert into PDFs. Since I was generating PDFs directly there was no need for the distiller.
    I don't know how they print these books, other than the covers print RGB and the inside in CMYK. I always convert the CMYK photos.
    I've been satisfied with the quality of their printing and the people, that's why I went through all the trouble to solve the problem.
    I enjoy writing books for my 2 grandchildren. I've done 8 books in the past year.
    You've been a big help, in that you persevered and explained in easy to understand language.
    Again, thanks for all your help and to Limnos who made the original suggestion. I guess you can go back to enjoying the rest of the summer.
    I will now make some reference notes for the future use.
    If, by any chance this doesn't work out I'll will be posting back for additional help.

  • 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.

Maybe you are looking for
