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?
regards
Johannes

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 TLF textfied which is created during runtime!!

Hi Experts,
I have two TLF textfileds in my application. The first TLF textfield is on the stage and the second one is created dynamically during runtime. Now I am able to embed the fonts in the first TLF textfield by using "use device fonts" since it is on stage. The flash player the rendering the data absolutely fine. I want to get the same look and feel for the second TLF textfield which is created dynamically during runtime. I tried so many ways. But it still seems ugly. Please help me out.
Here is the code I am trying.
            var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();                    //Text Format
            fmt.color = 0x000000;
            fmt.font = "Verdana";
            fmt.size = 14;
            fmt.align="left";
            fmt.bold = true;
            txt.defaultTextFormat = fmt;                                  //txt is a textfield which is on stage
            txt.text = e.target.xml..textField_stage;//textField_stage is a node in the xml
            txt.wordWrap = true;
            var tlf:TLFTextField=new TLFTextField();
            tlf.x = 80;
            tlf.y= 80;
            tlf.width = 290;
            tlf.height = 200;
            tlf.selectable=false;
            tlf.mouseEnabled=false;
            tlf.mouseChildren=false;
            tlf.wordWrap = true;
            addChild(tlf);
            tlf.defaultTextFormat = fmt;
            tlf.text = e.target.xml..textField_runtime;               //textField_runtime is a node in the xml
Thanks for your help,
srinivas

to embed fonts dynamically, you need to add a font your library (click the library panel's upper right, click new font, select your font, select your characters, tick export for actionscript and assign a class name - eg, VerdanaClass).
you would then use:
            var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();                    //Text Format
var verdana:Font=new VerdanaClass();
            fmt.color = 0x000000;
            fmt.font = verdana.fontName;
            fmt.size = 14;
            fmt.align="left";
            fmt.bold = true;
            txt.defaultTextFormat = fmt;                                  //txt is a textfield which is on stage
            txt.text = e.target.xml..textField_stage;//textField_stage is a node in the xml
            txt.wordWrap = true;
            var tlf:TLFTextField=new TLFTextField();
tlf.embedFonts=true;
            tlf.x = 80;
            tlf.y= 80;
            tlf.width = 290;
            tlf.height = 200;
            tlf.selectable=false;
            tlf.mouseEnabled=false;
            tlf.mouseChildren=false;
            tlf.wordWrap = true;
            addChild(tlf);
            tlf.defaultTextFormat = fmt;
            tlf.text = e.target.xml..textField_runtime;               //textField_runtime is a node in the xml

Embed Fonts in Dynamic Text Fields

Hey, I am relatively new around here although I've been a
member for years. I am just now starting to utilize my account. I
do have a question in regards to embedding fonts in Flash 8. I have
read up on this numerous places and haven't been able to find a
solution that works for me, whether this my user error or not is
still TBD.
I am loading text from a XML document into Flash dynamic text
fields. I need to be using a handwritting font for these text
fields. After embedding the handwritten font they are not
displaying in my dynamic fields but are displaying in my static
text fields that am I also using on the site. I am controlling my
dynamic text fields w/ an external stylesheet. I believe I must do
something "additional" for these dynamic text fields but haven't
figured out what that is, any help anyone can offer is much
appreciated! Thanks.

the question is a bit too general. There are many ways to
approach it, from copies
of text fields with that font off stage, to embedded outlines
and linkage in the library.
My guess is that somewhere on the way you did not fully
complete the outline embed options.
Either done incorrectly or you miss some action.
Mind to post detail explanation how you embed the outlines?
Best if you post an example
file for us to check.

How to enable Embed Fonts option in Forms Properties:

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

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
Regards
Thomas Groenbaek, Form Expert
Jyske Bank

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.

Install a customer font - dynamic form design

Hi all,
we set the parameter gs_docparams-dynamic mit abap_true for generating the form, beause we locate some form objects dynamically. Now we need to embed our customer font other licenses (for the dynamic form design).
So, we installed the font (for dynamic design) on the ADS, but it is still the same problem, that the font is not embedded in the PDF.
Should the font be installed on the ADS and the client?
Do somebody have install instructions? ...or other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Marc

Hi,
What ever font you installed in ADS, Same font you need to install in your Desktop/Laptop where you are designing form.
Once the fonts are installed, they are visible in your form and you can include the fonts in the form.
Note: After Installing the font in ADS, you need to restart the ADS Service(Normally basis people will do this)
Thanks.

Can I embed fonts of all Dynamic Text objects in a Flash file?

Hi there!
I'm fairly new to Flash, so please bear with me.
I have created a Flash file which will act as our company's standard presentation / portfolio of all previous projects. I've pretty much got it running the way I want, but I've just tried it on a few different computers and realised that the fonts aren't embedded. I've used our corporate font so it needs to look right. Having read the following documentation (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000893.html) I now understand how to embed fonts for one dynamic text object at a time. However, I have a lot of different dynamic text objects in the file and I would dearly love to embed them all in one step! The same embedding options can be applied to just about all objects, as they're all the same size and font.
I hope someone can help me. If you are able to help please spell things out in simple steps!! I am aware that I probably haven't yet grasped a number of the basics of Flash.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Static text doesn't need to be embeded. So I'm not sure what the problem you are having is. The page you linked to is for making an embedded font in your library that can then be exported for actionscript and used by code and style sheets. If you are following the instructions on the page you liked to you only need to do that once. Which shouldn't be too hard.
That is usually a different problem that having a bunch of different authortime created textfields that need to have characters embedded.
As far as I know your only hope to change a bunch of authortime/library items is using JSFL. So even if the thing I pointed to isn't exactly what you need you could keep googling a bit or use that as a template.
JSFL files are just text files so open it in note pad. Look for the line:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip")
and change it to this:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip" || it[i].itemType=="button")
Now it does buttons. You give up too easy.

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

Dynamic form font color changes after saving

I have a dynamic form that before the user clicks inside a textfield ghost text appearance is set to red once the user starts typing I have an event set to turn the font to black.
The problem is, once form is saved and reopened the font color is red instead of black. How can I get the font color to remain black?
I am thinking that script should be in the PreSave event if so, please provide an example of how it should be written.
Thanks

I have several events happening in the text field
for the ghost text (tool tip) I have set an initialize event: (by the way I did choose the color red for the font in the color picker for the tooltip color)
this.execEvent("exit");
this.format.picture.value = "null{' " + this.assist.toolTip.value + " '}";
Enter event: (this changes the font to black and bullets appear)this.fontColor + "0,0,0";
this.font.posture = "normal";
if(this.rawValue === null)
    this.rawValue = "l ";
Exit event
if (this.isNull)
   this.fontColor = "255,0,0,";
   this.fontposture = "italic";

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.
Message was edited by: LBarton

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

Problem with Consolas font in a form

I have problem with Consolas font in a form in latest Adobe Reader (v11.0.9)
It shows dots (password sign) instead of letters. Edit box is not configured for passwords.
Form was created by Foxit PhantomPDF and it shows correctly in Foxit.
Can somebody check PDF for errors or warnings?

You should embed these fonts in the document.
If you need more help with this, please ask in the Acrobat forum.
