Embedded fonts and hidden text

I've just discovered that any font used in hidden text only isn't embedded. Has anyone else found this?
My hidden text includes Times New Roman italic. This text becomes visible on the preprint event. TNR italic isn't used for any non-hidden text. If the user fills out the form and prints it, fonts are perfect. However, if the user fills out the form and saves it, TNR italic isn't embedded in the form. Later when the user opens the form to print, the previously hidden text actually prints in Arial!

Yes, you can dynamically load the needed fonts at run time.

  • Embedded Fonts and HTML Text

    I am attempting to use a non-standard font in an HTML dynamic textbox using the <font> tag.  I have embedded this font using the textbox properties box and the fonts appear in the library.  According to previous posts to this form, that should do it.  But, my fonts are not appearing correctly.  Any advice?

    OK,
    I have given up messing with stylesheets, trying display:
    block, inline, different ways of formatting the XML, messing with
    XML.ignoreWhiteSpace, and XML.prettyPrinting etc.
    I went down the route of encodeURI, using a RegExp to strip
    out all tabs, linefeeds and carriage returns. This now gives
    consistent results for all situations, even embedded and none
    embedded fonts.
    e.g.
    _text:String = TEXT FROM XML, HTML TEXT etc
    var st:String = encodeURI(_text);
    var pattern:RegExp = /(%09)+|(%0A)+|(%0D)+/g;
    st = st.replace(pattern, "");
    st = decodeURI(st);
    YOUTEXTFIELD.htmlText = st;
    The <p> tags still behave as a <br/> tag, but you
    can add an extra <br/> to simulate a paragraph.
    Here is the example again with the updates,
    Hope this helps someone

  • Embeded Fonts and Externally Loaded Text?

    Just curious, I am designing a site with two embeded fonts. I am also using many externally loaded textboxes styled by a CSS. When I use the inline HTML in the .txt file, can I specify the embeded fonts for the text boxes or will they just use default browser fonts?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jeff

    I think what I need to do is place an instance of a text box on each page, so when you navigate away from the page the existing text box will leave. This works, but I can't get the CSS to do the formatting. Here is the code I have, any suggestions?
    var fileTxt:String;
    var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    var cssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
    myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("text/tgc.txt"));
    function onLoaded(e:Event):void{
        fileTxt=myTextLoader.data;
        callCss();
    function callCss():void{
        var cssRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("styles.css");
        cssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCss);
        cssLoader.load(cssRequest);
    function onCss(e:Event):void{
        var css:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
        css.parseCSS(cssLoader.data);
        tgc_txt.styleSheet=css;
        tgc_txt.wordWrap=true;
        tgc_txt.htmlText=fileTxt;
    Like I said, it loads the text fine and eliminates the embeded HTML tags in the .txt file. It does not change color, size or weight as I have in the CSS.

  • When Patch for embedded fonts and Lion OSX to be released?

    Was reading through the thread about the problem with embedded fonts and Lion OSX and a patch being released the 3rd week of August. Does anyone know about the patch being released?

    This patch was released as 11.5.9 a couple of weeks ago. See this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/895280?tstart=0
    You should be able to get it through the Help / Check for Updates menu - but I would definitely be aware that it seems to have created a couple of new issues for some users (documented in other forum posts at forums.adobe.com).

  • OCR and hidden text in PDF scans of historic documents

    I need to edit the hidden text behind a scanned PDF image of a document.  The image must remain as an “exact” copy of the original scanned document.
    I used Acrobat Pro (versions 7 and 9) to make PDF images of old typed documents from the 1940’s.  When I open those images and run OCR in version 9, then examine the hidden (invisible) text layer behind the image, there are errors.  For example, the word “book” has been picked-up by the OCR as the word “look.”  I need to change the “l” to a “b” in order to make the PDF accurate when it is searched at a later date. 
    I have checked many user forums.  Most people imply that hidden text can be viewed, but NOT edited in Acrobat Pro 7 and 9.  (Hidden text can be viewed in Version 9 by selecting “Document” “Examine Document” and then clicking on the “+” symbol next to “Hidden Text,” then clicking “Show preview.”)  Some say to use Adobe Capture 3.0 to edit hidden text.  Others say to use Photoshop or Illustrator to edit hidden text (I think these folks may have been confused, because Photoshop and Illustrator would be used, logically, to edit the image ON TOP OF the hidden text).  Yet another person seemed to say that a hidden text editor was added to Acrobat 8, but was taken away in Acrobat 9.  (I can’t verify that because I don’t have version 8.)
    The closest answer I was able to find involved using the Text Touch Up Tool on top of the image to edit hidden text behind it, but when you do that you are typing “blind.”  In other words, you highlight a spot on the image (top layer) where you THINK the error MIGHT be, and you type the correction without being able to see what you are typing over.  Then, you go back to the “Examine Document” procedure (described above) to see if you “hit” your mark, and if not, you redo it until you do “hit” your mark.  With the number of documents and corrections that we have, that procedure would be too labor intensive and thus a budget breaker.
    If we have to buy more software, my preference would be to buy a genuine Adobe product because I have experienced problems in the past switching back and forth between Adobe products and other PDF manipulation software.
    Can anyone answer any of these questions: 
    (1) Is there a way in Acrobat versions 7, 8 or 9 to edit hidden text, and if so, how? 
    (2) What Adobe software (other than Acrobat) will edit hidden text behind a PDF image? 
    (3) Assuming no Adobe product will edit hidden text behind a PDF image, is there any non-Adobe products that will do that?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Unless you use Acrobat 8 Pro's Formatted Text & Graphics" or Acrobat 9 Pro's ClearScan you will find that there is no
    practicable means of editing the OCR "hidden text" in a PDF.
    The TouchUp text tool (Advanced Editing toolbar) is reliant upon the selected text having an available system font to use during touchup. However, both Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact)  OCR output is of text rendering mode 3 (invisible text) that is provided from within Acrobat and not any installed system or other application installed font.
    With Searchable Image (Exact) you have the untouched image augmented by the invisible text which is provided as a user aid for search or find with Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The invisible text is not intended to support word processor like editing.
    To your questions:
    #1. There is no practicable way to edit invisible text (text rendering mode 3) with Acrobat (any past or current release).
    #2. None.
    #3. A good question. Perhaps a specialty program. Keep in mind, many products provide a promise but those those that actually deliver tend to be expensive.
    Something to play with. Using Acrobat 9 Pro or Pro Extended, try the Preflight Fixup to embed hidden text.
    Then try using the TouchUp Text tool. You may also want to see if you can change the font type of this newly embedded font.
    (use copies of the "real" files - just in case <g>).
    Be well...

  • Embedding fonts in dynamic text fields

    I am having trouble embedding a font in my Flash file. I have the font in my library. I have the text field selected to that font with the * next to it.
    In my actions I have:
    vid_title_txt.embedFonts = true;
    If I set it to false instead, it shows a different font. But if it is set to true, nothing shows. I am running out of ideas what to look at to solve this issue. What am I doing wrong here?
    Thank you very much for any help with this!

    I am in AS2.
    I followed these steps.
    Open the Library panel (Ctrl+L).
    Add a font to your library - click the options menu in the upper right corner of the panel and select New Font from the menu.
    In the Font Symbol Properties dialog box select the font, size and style that you want and give the font combination a name. Click OK to close the dialog box.
    Right-click the font symbol in the library and select Linkage from the contextual menu.
    In the Linkage Properties dialog box, click the Export for ActionScript button to enable both the Identifier and AS 2.0 Class text input fields. Leave the default Identifier value and click OK to close the dialog box.
    Select the text tool from the Tools panel and draw a dynamic text field on the Stage.
    Give the text field an instance name of "my_txt". In the Font menu select the symbol name you gave the embedded font earlier. You should see a little asterisk (*) beside the name.
    In the Property inspector set the font size and style to match those in the Font Symbol Properties dialog box earlier.
    Open the Actions Panel and add the following code to Frame 1 of your Flash document:
    my_txt.embedFonts = true;
    my_txt._rotation = 15;
    my_txt._alpha = 10;

  • Unable to apply embedded font swf to text in text layout framework

    Hello,
    We have created a swf for a given font (for e.g., Calibri.swf) which contains all the styles (Regular, Italic, Bold, BoldItalic).
    We have created a xml which lists the name of the font and the corresponding swf file path. The names from the xml are loaded into a combo box in the application.
    When we try to apply the selected font to a text in the text layout framework, it does not apply the same. It sets the font to default "Times" font.
    Following is a snippet of code to apply the font to the text:
    private function selectFont(fontXML:XML):void {               
                    var path:String = fontXML.@source;
                    var myEvent:IEventDispatcher = styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.url.substring(0,FlexGl obals.topLevelApplication.url.lastIndexOf("/"))+"/"+path);
                    myEvent.addEventListener(StyleEvent.COMPLETE, function(event:StyleEvent):void{
                        var editManager:EditManager = textFlow.interactionManager as EditManager;
                        var itextLayout:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
                        itextLayout.fontSize = 20;
                        var fontName:String = fontXML.@name;
                        Alert.show(fontName);
                        itextLayout.fontFamily = fontName;   
                        Alert.show( "itext = " + itextLayout.fontFamily);
                        editManager.applyFormat(itextLayout,itextLayout,itextLayout);
                        var flowLeafElement:FlowElement = textFlow.findLeaf(editManager.anchorPosition) as FlowElement;
                        editManager.changeStyleName(fontName,flowLeafElement);
    Can anyone please let us know what is missing in the implementation?
    Thanks in advance.

    My recommendation: unless you really care about ISWFContext implementations and the application domain issues, ignore Alex's post about embedded fonts.
    It is a nice discussion about the inner workings of the domain and security of how this works but it is imho broken and is an insane concept to require an ISWFContext to just use an embedded font. It also breaks runtime CSS loading that has fonts embedded in it because the Flex compiler (last I checked) was also busted – it doesn't include the function necessary to create within context the font embed so that it may be applied. You can't create an ISWFContext with a compiled CSS file.
    These issues were introduced in the last Flex SDK beta before FB4 was released in final form. There are multiple bugs logged against the issue of applying loaded font files to TLF text (in short, SWFContext is broken and you have to override GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction to return embedded or null, all the time).
    Here's some more details to get you started - with links to at least one of the SDK bugs that were filed:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2656152
    For example:
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.GlobalSettings;
    import flash.text.engine.FontLookup;
    GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = function makeValid():String { return FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF };
    And you may need to do this after your font is loaded:
    yourTextBlock.textFlow.invalidateAllFormats();
    Disclaimer: I haven't seen the latest Flex SDK release to see if this was fixed. I have an AIR application with native process that builds embedded font SWF files for use and stub code for FB4 usage but haven't updated to the latest SDK yet to see if it's working properly.
    Anyhow, your best bet is to look at the Flash Builder forums. I think this is/was a Flex team issue, not TLF.

  • Text jumps after embedding font in dynamic text field!

    Hi
    this is driving me mad
    Im using a standard font (Gotham rounded) within a dynamic text field. As soon as I embed the numerals within this text field the text lowers within the text field.  Double clicking the field then renders the text higher up!  It seems that the height it shows when I double click is the height it compiles at.
    The other strange and annoying thing is that my colleague working on the same project is using the exact same font and same file but this doesnt happen to him and so the font redners out differently when he compiles!
    Could anybody please help me sort this problem out as its reeeeally annoying
    many thanks!

    nobody any ideas?!

  • How do you set default fonts and default text box sizes on bound form fields?

    I am using an existing PDF as a template to build my form in designer.
    I am dragging my objects from the schema window to the form and when I drop it on the form it is way too big - so for every field I do this with I am left to resize and reset the font to every bound object i drop on the page!
    Is there a way to set the default font and the default dimensions of the bound text boxes I am droping on the PDF form page?
    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    iWork '09 DVD set (containing Pages '09 v4.0, Numbers '09 v2.0, and Keynote '09 v5.0) is available from Amazon for USD $20. Apple no longer provides retail store, or OS X App Store downloads. You will need to apply the Apple iWork 9.3 updater afterwards to bring these applications to their n.3 (e.g. Pages '09 v4.3) last versions. You will have an /Applications/iWork '09 folder afterwards.
    I would also launch /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities, select your boot drive, and verify/repair permissions — just to be on the safe side for the newly added iWork '09 applicaitons.

  • Embedding fonts and images for printing (press quality PDF)

    I have a question about a document I have produced in InDesign that needs to go to the printers. They have told me to make sure it is a print ready document with all of the fonts and images embedded. When I convert an indd document for printing 'locally', I normally just use the Adobe PDF presets and select press quality. I thought ID works its magic and does everything required to make it print ready. Is there anything else I need to do regarding fonts and images to make the PDF ready for print?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Thank you.
    As to bleeds, the printers came back and said my pdf is okay but that yes, I need to set an extra bleed edge of minimum 3mm. Do I set this when converting to the print quality pdf or do I set this whilst working in the actual INDD document itself?
    Is the bleed then on every page regardless of the content?
    What are the steps for setting bleed and crop marks. Does that mean when I place an image for example on a page the image needs to hang slightly off the edges by 3mm or am I barking up the wrong tree?
