Embed Fonts in Designer Forms ?

Hi,
I would like to embed a font in a form. How can i do this and which font types can i embed (truetype,postscript,...) ?
Thanks for help.

Hi Paul,
I've attached both files.
maybe you can find the initial hint to solve this problem.
I don't think that it has to do with licenses, because in this case it should not be allowed to embed the fonts into a static document.

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 in dynamic forms

Hi,
I'm using Designer 8.2 and I want to embed custom Fonts in a dynamic PDF, because the document might also be opened on clients where those fonts are not available.
Everything works fine with static pdfs (File Properties in Reader -> shows that eg. Bell Gothic Std Light (embedded ...) is embedded in the form. This forms works fine on clients where Bell Gothic is not installed.
The same Form changes it's behavior when I save it as a dynamic pdf.
File Properties don't show embedded fonts information
Bell Gothic is replaced
Any ideas why?
How can I fix this problem?

How to enable Embed Fonts option in Forms Properties:

Hi,
I could not able to enable this option. Please help.

You must save the file as .pdf for these options to be available. Saving the file as either .xdp or .tds greys them out.

Not embed fonts saving as pdf

Hi everyone
Just a quick question.. before I start to dig myself.
We save our LC design forms in the source format .xdp. When we publish them we select File > saveAs and choose dynamic pdf.
but LC designer will always embed fonts in the pdf. We have to open our pdf in LC designer a remove 'embed font' under File > Form properties (this can only be fone to a pdf, so we need an additional save as ZZZZZZZ).
Question:
Anyone have solution on setting LC designer ud to not embed fonts when saving and xdp to dynamic pdf? is the a config file or registry setting to edit?
help is very welcome

hi Jyske,
What you can do is to add the following line in the .tds (template) files that Livecycle uses:
<?templateDesigner SavePDFWithEmbeddedFonts 0?>
and this just before the closing </template> element in the xml source.
You find these templates in the <Livecycle Designer Installation folder>\EN\Templates

When unchecking 'embed fonts' hyperlinks go away.

LiveCycle 9. When I reload a pdf that was generated by LC, and go to: Form Properties | Save Options, and uncheck the "embed fonts" checkbox, all the hyperlinks in the form dissapear.
This is a secondary process after the form has been initially saved with the fonts. (Apparently, there is no way to generate a pdf from xdp without embedding the fonts.) All I want to do is remove the embedded fonts. The fonts do unembed and all the field functions and scripts still work.
Do I need to wait to install the hyperlinks at this stage of the process?
Or is there another solution?
Thanks

Interesting. These old forms use embedded Arial for both static and fillable fields. We have always embedded Arial, but now want to reduce our file sizes and Arial is available everywhere in our system.
If I load an old pdf, save as xdp and generate a new pdf form the xdp (with the grayed out "embed fonts"), the resulting form does have embedded Arial. That's why we reload the newly generated pdf form back in to LC and then we can uncheck the "embed fonts". This form then, when saved, gives us a pdf form without Arial embedded. It also has no hyperlinks...they have all been removed by the process.

Font Issue in Form created in LiveCycle Designer ES2

I have a PDF form that was created originally from Word's Acrobat conversion tool. Now I need to add functionality thru LiveCycle ES2 and have imported the form into LiveCycle.
There is a set of text running down the side which indicates it is Times New Roman (In LiveCycle). I have made the changes but have not touched this text at all. The form is saved as a Static PDF.
When opened in Full Acrobat or Reader, the text running down the side is no longer in Times New Roman, but Myriad Pro. I don't understand why LiveCycle is changing the font on text that I did
not edit at all.
My Livecycle Form Properties are set to Embed Fonts.
Trying to understand what is going on with this font and any help would be appreciated as I've racked my brain all afternoon on this trying different things.
(As part of my troubleshooting process, I reviewed the original Acrobat form and in Acrobat that same text indicates the original font used for that text was Times New Roman PSMT and if you wanted to edit it, Acrobat would substitute Times New Roman. Not sure if this helps but thought I'd mention this....)
4/18/14 UPDATE - ISSUE FIXED FOR NOW
My original process above was to import the PDF into LiveCycle to Dynamic XML. The text would appear as Times New Roman but after adding functionality and saving, Livecycle continued to convert the text from Times New Roman to Myriad Pro. Embedding fonts and checking substitution list did not resolve.
After spending the day trying to get LiveCycle to save the PDF and keep the problem text in Times New Roman, I finally reimported the original Acrobat PDF form into Livecycle all over again but this time as a Fixed Page Layout, where the document gets imported as artwork and cannot be edited. I then added functionality in Livecycle and resaved.

Does anyone have any tips on how to resolve this? My LiveCycle form is a dynamic form. It seems like livecycle Designer ES2 has corrupted it or designer ES2 has a bug that makes reader and acrobat print engine not recognize the pages.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Josh

Embed Fonts in forms

Hi there,
I designed a xdp using a font called Walt Disney Script v4.1 (you can find it online for free) and i'm trying to embed it but never appears. It is installed in my LC server and in the adminui (Services -> Forms -> embed fonts) i typed his name. The font is editable....
Anyone knows the problem?

I tried it here and duplicated the issue ......thereis an XCI file which controls certain paramaters in the creation of the
PDF. In the default XCI file Font embedding is set to false (I guess to reduce the size of the templates). You can create your own XCI file and use that one to create your PDF and have Font embedding set to on.
There is also a setting in adminui under the Forms Server Service option that you can name fonts to always embed .....I believe that changing this will need a restart to caus eth eoption to update.
Hope that helps
Paul

How to use MICR fonts in Adobe forms (webdynpro java

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to print some MICR codes (for checks) through Adobe Forms.
I have installed some true type MICR fonts in windows and Adobe Font Manager (in ADS) as well.
It is visible in the Adobe Form design time (Font palette) and when I use the font for text, it is visible in preview too. But when I run the web dynpro application, in the online form it is converted into Standard font (Times new Roman).
Is there anyway to handle this issue.
Please let me know.
I am using NWDS 7.0.1
Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1
SAP NW 2004s SP14
Thank you,
Vasu

Should I use only standard fonts in pdf forms?

I am converting a lot of professional forms (contracts etc) into fillable and signable pdfs. The documents use flowering serif fonts like Book Antiqua, Garamond, etc. as this has a certain traditional elegant look for contracts but I am tempted to change all the fonts to either Arial or Times for 1) screen readability and 2) to prevent missing font errors when these forms are used or revised on various computers in the future. Not all computers have Garamond but all computers have Arial and Times New Roman.
Should I be using only common fonts in these forms? I need to make this decision before I create the pdfs. If it doesn't really matter, I'll retain the elegant looking fonts but if I can avoid problems in the future, I'll change the fonts.
Thanks for any advice on this.

Yes, I did mean in the form design. If someone uses the type tool to edit text in the future and the font isn't there it will give a missing font error. That could cause a headache in the future. Maybe I shouldn't be too concerned about that. (yes, I would use arial in the fields themselves.)
Also, a lot of the serif text in these documents is condensed and very small (7-9pt). Even at 9pts it's not as easy to read on the screen as Times. Screen-friendliness may trump elegant fonts.

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!

MICR font in Adobe Form

Hi All,
I am working on Adobe Form for A/P Check(Cheque) through F110 transaction. In Adobe Live cycle Designer(and in ADS), I don't see MICR font option in the list of available fonts. I know it's there in smartforms and Scripts. But how can I get the font in Adobe?
I already searched in the forum but didn't get any solution. I appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
Thanks!

I found these 2 threads (ADS Font Installation and Fonts problem) which say that you might add your font in designer.xdc or design.xdc file in \usr\sap\<systemid>\SYS\global\AdobeDocumentServices\lib\, and for windows, you may install in /winnt/fonts
There is also some [documentation for XDC fonts in Adobe support website|http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/wb_help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=001172.html]
