Embed fonts in Adobe LiveCycle 7.1

Hi,
We need to embed a font in our Adobe Document Services for invoice
printing, but can't seem to figure out where to do this in Adobe
LiveCycle 7.1.
We're unable to find any detailed documentation on how to set the
embedding option, but we've found some documents that tells us to
adjust the settings in the file XFA.XCI and/or the J2EE Visual Admin
where the ADS is installed.
Please advice on how to solve this issue or guide us to some
documentation about the issue.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Lars-Erik

I was dealing with the same issue and found this thread and I guess many others will too so I wanted to share the solution.
First, if you have not done that already, install the fonts as described [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d0/cdf29623c8432fa1545df5f43176de/content.htm]
And then to have the fonts embedded in the PDF output find the XFA.XCI file in your Adobe LifeCycle installation directory on the server. This is an XML file that contains the default settings for font mappings.
In that file between the tags <PDF> </PDF> you need to change <embed>0</embed> to <embed>1</embed>
Regards,
Gunnar

How to install fonts in Adobe Livecycle Designer

Hi All,
   I want to install new fonts in adobe LiveCycle designer.
   I installed this fonts in Control Panel >Fonts>File -->Install New Fonts and it is possible to see them in Livecycle Designer but when i preview the adobe print form this not work.
I found in the installation of the ADS configuration Guide this informations.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap//j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
So the question is how can i install new fonts so as to use in Adobe Forms?
I will appreciate any help and documentations about.
Thank you,
   Ari

Create a subdirectory called customer below the fonts directory created in the previous step
Copy your font file(s) into the customer directory
Restart the "Document Services Font Manager" for the changes to take effect.Use Visual Admin on the Adobe Document server

Embed font in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Uploaded a PDF document into Adobe Acrobat Pro from Microsoft Word. Is there a way to embed all the font?

There isn't a way to set this during the Combine process but it's easy to change all the bookmarks in one go using the following technique:
Open the bookmark navigation pane and select all the bookmarks (be sure to expand all subbookmarks).
Right-click and choose Properties from the context-sensitive menu.
Click the Actions tab and choose Execute a menu item from the dropdown.
Click the Add button and choose View > Zoom > Zoom to Page Level and click OK.

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?

Embed font

I believe app developers can embed fonts- as I have apps that work with fonts (not just pictures of fonts) that are not available on the default system of the iPad. I hope this capability will be offered to iBooks' authors, or alternatively, an ability to work with non iPad fonts on the Mac that are then rendered either as an image, or pdf style on the iPad. I know some web authoring tools have this capability, where the text can be custom formatted (and edited) in authoring mode, but when rendered for the web, these blocks of text are rendered as an image for consistent display for users without that font installed on their machines.

Things have improved. Font embedding is now easily implemented in all apps and formats that use html/xml, and is already part of the epub standard (Apple just does not yet support it). Safari will display embedded fonts in both iOS and OS X since 2010. Places like Google are making large numbers of fonts freely available for embedding.
Windows Office can also embed fonts, but not Mac Office.

Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Embed Fonts

I would like help imbedding fonts on LiveCycle ES2. I create forms on this program and when the forms are viewed on other computers on "Nitro" pdf reader, the fonts are substituted to whatever is available on those computers. I would like to lock the type in place so that it isn't changed automatically and you can't read half of the form. When searching help, it listed to use LiveCycle Administration Console to embed fonts by visiting:
(JBoss) http://localhost:8080/adminui (local deployment using the default port)
(WebLogic) http://localhost:7001/adminui (local deployment using the default port)
(WebSphere) http://localhost:9080/adminui (local deployment using the default port)
None of these work. If there is a way to stop the fonts from changing using LiveCycle, I would like to try. IT department has already looked in to all alternative fixes outside of the program.
On Windows computer
Using Adobe LiveCycle ES2
Being opened on Windows computers on virtual desktops with limited font selections
THANK YOU!

FB 4 is not part of the LiveCycle installer. If you would like to customize the workspace or write Flex appications in LiveCycle you would need the Flash Builder to be installed. If you evaluate the software you can download a trial from the adobe.com homepage under software download for free.
If you purchase a licensed component from LiveCycle you will be entitiled to install up to 5 workstations with the FB 4 software
hope this helps

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 webquery in PDF using Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Dear BI Gurus,..Pls. help !!!!
We have NW2004s with Portal and ADS installed
Is it currently possible to embed BW objects like query results and Documents into PDF, may be using Adobe LiveCycle Designer to design a pixel-perfect layout?
So for e.g. an A4 size PDF would have several query results and may be also a document or a chart , and these objects can be manually arranged in A4 size layout.
Is there an option to achive this by some kind of webdynpro programming?
I would give best points to you !!
Thanks in advance

Kamakshi,
First, any extension fields added must be explicitly assigned to appear on the forms. Through Front-end Adaptation, this would be via the "Further Usage" link. Within the SDK, you'd right-click the XBO and select "Enhance Forms" (which would take you to the same screen as you'd end up at in through front-end").
You must select "Add Field and Edit..." to actually assign it to the Form Template schema.
Once this step is done, re-download the Form Template, and make sure to reload the Data Connection within LiveCycle. Through there, you should see your fields. You'll likely have to dig for them - they appear at the very end of the child elements.
Note that, while fields added through the front-end have a long string appended to the end (for example, it would appear as "ExtensionField_1234AISU897234HJA" if added via front-end adaptation), the fields added via the SDK do NOT have the suffix (you'll be looking for an element with JUST the field name, i.e. "ExtensionField")

Courier New
Impact
Times New Roman

Hi,
To expand all the folder by default, we need to set the property of the detailed navigation tree.
Open your framework page in the content administration.
Check on the detailed navigation check box and click on the properties button.
In the properties, set the value of initial state= OPEN .
This will expand all the folders by default.
Hope you understood.

Embed fonts not available error (But they are available sysetm fonts)

Hello!
I tried to search and actually did found some answers regarding font problems, but they did not help. So I am explaining here my problem in hope that someone can help me.
My company bought a HP Xeon X3450 @ 2.8Ghz. @Gb RAM DD3 1333 with Windows 7 64-Bits version Professional.
We installed Adobe CS3 Suite on Windows 7 64-Bits version and the problems with fonts started.
We used to work with XP Professional before this new machine arrived and never had system fonts propblems with Adobe CS3 Suite.
Basically, what happens is:
When I try to open PDF files with embed fonts (system fonts susch as ARIAL for example) the program returns an error saying that the fonts are not installed/available, but checking the C:\windows\fonts, they are there and working fine on Office or other common application such as notepad for example.
I tried the workaround I found on these very forums of copying the fonts to the folder C:\Program Fils\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts and it still does not work.
Formated the HD and then installed Windows 7 32 bits (x86) and still have the same problems. All updates were made and applied to Adobe and Windows respectively for both 64 and 32 versions and the error still happens.
In resume, fonts are installed, they are system fonts but under Windows 7 64 or 32 bits versions they simply do not work when opening the PDF files with embed fonts.
-The PDFs had no problems before while running windows XP Professional.
-The PDFs open whithout any problems on machines with Windows Xp Professional.
-This is happening specifically in Adobe Illustrator CS3 and CS5 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and 9.
Please, I urge for help since we don't know what to do anymore.
Thank you all who took time to read this and forgive my terrible english, it is not my first language.
Best regards,

Andre,
What I believe you have is 2 different versions of Arial, you old machine probably contains the version you need.
By old version, I mean one could by true type(XP), and another Opentype (WIn 7), and the error comes up. Even though they have they same name (Eg: Arial Bold).
There are even old version of fonts that are both of the same font technology format and have different FOND ID numbers(Eg: Frutiger was one that I often encountered, but you don't see this problem that much nowadays).

How to embed fonts?

I am using adobe reader xi , my files are being rejected saying that I have embed the fonts ..... pl help

You have to have Acrobat to embed fonts, not Reader. Reader is what it says, a reader or preview application, not an editor.

I Need to Embed Fonts in my PDF

Hi,
I am trying to upload a pdf into a website but they say there is an error that's stopping the process from going ahead. Apparently I have to embed the fonts in my pdf first.
I've done quite a bit of online research and found several ways of doing this - none of which seem to be possible to me!
Is there a way that I can embed fonts without having to buy something? I have Adobe Reader, Digital Editions... but I have no idea if I have anything else (Acrobat?). I haven't deliberately bought it, but this is a brand new top-of-the-range, expensive laptop so I don't know if would have already been installed? Windows 8.2 means that it's harder than ever to navigate your way around the computer.
Thank you in advance,
zengirluk

I have Adobe Reader!
I just made a document in word and saved it as a pdf.
I have downloaded the trial version and gone through the steps as described here:
https://lvb.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/doc/embedfonts.pdf
Now about to upload to the website... I'll let you know if it's worked. I have a feeling it won't have because I don't have a printer and didn't print it out. The method described above wanted me to print the document out. However I don't want or need to. I just want to embed the fonts so the website accepts my document!

Add a New Control in Adobe LiveCycle designer

Hi
I want to have a calculated field in the form based on values of 2 other fields.Now i can easily write a java script for the same and do it.
But what i want is to create a control in the designer such that i just do some drag drop or a choose add function for the calculated field.
Now since this is not provided in the form designer can i write such a control and embed it in the form designer .
This control could be local to my installed Adobe Livecycledesigner.
This is just one eg , there are several things for which i dont want to write the java script again and again and just use a function which will do it for me.
Also i am posting it here as i could not post in the Adobe Livecycledesigner 7.x due to authorization error.
Thanks and Regards
