Embedded fonts do not convert in ps or Distiller

I have done this dozens of times. I distill a very large pdf document for web use. The doc was created by someone else, but
I have saved as a ps and opened in Distiller to flatten the images and reduce the size. This time the embedded fonts are lost. I have
tried the option of creating a new options file where the fonts are "always embedded" in the settings file. Any other suggestions?
I have tried this on a Mac in Acrobat X and on a PC with Acrobat 9. My impression is there is something different about the
document I received.
Thanks!
Janis

I found that problem was with fonts it self only.
When fonts were generated - was not included in it.

Embedded Fonts are not shown anymore

When I create a PDF from a Word Doc, the embedded Fonts are not shown anymore. In the previous Version it was working perfectly. My version is currently 11.0.10.

Thank you for your feedback. The Job im using is simple take a word document converting it into a pdf format. If this is done I will see it in my Acrobat view. There is no fonts at all. The System is notifying me that the font "ETBFGYI+DIN-Regular" are not embedded. And there will be some character not shown or printed correctly. I didn't change anything on the setting of Acrobat. I'm using this Acrobat almost for 2 years and I never had any problem. The Problem came up after the last update of the software to version 11.01.10.

Embedded fonts are not detected by Designer

I am trying to create a fillable pdf based from a form created in Adobe Framemaker. However, the fonts I have embedded in the .pdf source file from FrameMaker are not detected by Livecycle Designer. These include very common fonts like Helvetica and Times. Is there a setting somewhere in Designer to pick up on these embedded fonts?

Some fonts do not convert to PDF

I'm using Pagemaker 7.0.1a on WinXP. Some fonts such as Sanvito (open type) and Myriad Pro (true type) appear fine in PM but do not convert to PDF where they appear as X placeholders as shown below. Top group is Sanvito, bottom is Myriad, Times worked OK. On the other hand, they convert just fine when converting MS Word to a PDF. My system uses Acrobat Distiller 7. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

Because PageMaker has been a dead program for nearly a decade and is known not to work reliably on the newest OSs, including XP, while Word is still being developed. If I were you, Iwould move on to InDesign while the generous discount upgrade from PageMaker is still available. I wouldn't be surprised if the offer expires when CS5 comes out.

Embedding Fonts - Why not?

We are really excited about the news of iBooks Author, since we are graphic designers who run a large font website. The bad news, iBooks doesn't support embedding fonts in the iBook format. Why not? (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5072) - The only work around seems to be if you publish in PDF format, but of course that limits things. Various foundries and font sites offer licenses for eBooks, so iBooks should support this, it's an important aspect to the book design and communication abilities..
Please fix this in the next update? Pretty please....?

> The bad news, iBooks doesn't support embedding fonts in the iBook format. Why not? ... The only work around seems to be if you publish in PDF format
In the ISO 8879 SGML family of which ePub and HTML are implementations the author inserts character information and content information considering the logical reading order. Appearance and geometry is not defined early binding by the author, but late binding by the audience. Because Apple controls the configuration of the obligatory CMAP Character Map in the SFNT Spline Font files available for rendering appearance, the author is guaranteed that the character information will map as intended in whatever appearance the audience chooses. This is *not* the case with glyph encoding and character substitution, whether in Adobe Type 1 font program dictionary format or in Adobe and Heidelberg SFNT Spline Font files which should have been sold with character encoding and glyph substitution, but which were in fact sold with glyph encoding and character substitution. Essentially, Apple is doing in the iBook Store what Microsoft did in Word 1992, that is, supporting obligatory CMAP shaping only for character-glyph mapping, and supporting system supplied SFNT Spline Font files for appearance approximation over third party selectable font files (whose character-glyph mapping may be completely off the wall).
There is the additional problem that adding logical reading order to PDF in order that it may reflow for PDA Personal Digital Assistants with different geometries is as complex, if not more so, than doing the same for a model for document markup that was designed for defining reading order. PostScript and PDF were designed for defining layout rendering order, not for defining logical reading order.
Hope this helps,

Embedded fonts do not display (-) in text

Hi all,
I have embedded few fonts in my project.
Some of them do not display - in text. Those fonts also fails in winword, word is also not able to transcode - in those fonts.
In word it shows that block instead of -. Any idea how to display - for these type of fonts.
Fonts are GillSansST,HelvesticaST,SnellST.
Thanks,

Embedded fonts not displaying when building project via mxmlc

I have a flex 3 project and I'm trying to upgrade it to flex 4.6 sdk. I have a number of embedded fonts in my application. These display fine when I build via Eclipse/Flash builder. When I build using mxmlc the embedded fonts are not being used. I build the fonts in the same way for both so I am assuming there is some compiler option which I am missing, or which I have that is causing the problem. I've tried every compiler option I can think of and now I'm at a dead end...
<target name="compile" depends="getswcs, compilemodules">
     <echo message="mxmlc=${mxmlc}"/>
     <echo message="flex.lib.dir=${flex.lib.dir}"/>
     <echo message="flex.extlib.dir=${flex.extlib.dir}"/>
     <echo message="flex.locale=${flex.locale}"/>
     <echo message="flex.locale.dir=${flex.locale.dir}"/>
     <exec executable="${mxmlc}" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
          <arg line="'src/${main}'" />
          <arg line="-o 'bin/${component.lowercase.name}.swf'" />
          <arg line="-l+='${flex.lib.dir}'" />
          <arg line="-sp src" /> <arg line="-accessible" />
          <arg line="-strict" />
          <arg line="-el '${flex.extlib.dir}'" />
          <arg line="-compatibility-version=3.0.0" />
          <arg line="-target-player '11.1'" />
          <arg line="-include-libraries+=lib" />
          <arg line="-locale ${flex.locale}" />
          <arg line="-l+='${flex.locale.dir}'" />
     </exec>
</target>
The compileModules builds my fonts, for example:
<exec executable="${mxmlc}" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
     <arg line="fonts/OCRAEXT.as" />
     <arg line="-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries" />
     <arg line="-o bin/lib/OCRAEXT.swf" />
</exec>`
as file:
public class OCRAEXT extends Sprite {
     [Embed(source='OCRAEXT.TTF', fontName='_OCRAEXT', embedAsCFF='false', unicodeRange='U+0030-U+0039,U+002E,U+002F,U+20AC')]
public static var font:Class; }
I don't think there's an issue here, since the fonts are already built via my compileModules before building the application in Eclipse, where the fonts display correctly.

Try comparing SWF sizes and link-reports.

Embedded fonts in pdfs not printing correctly

Since updating to 10.5, I've run into a really annoying problem: when printing pdfs, many embedded fonts will not print correctly. Korinna, for example, prints as something totally different. I've tried using both Preview and Adobe Reader, and no luck. Help!

HI William,

Flash animation in Captivate - Embedded fonts not displaying.

I'm in Captivate 5 creating a lesson, I have made a simple animation in Flash 5 that contains one word in the animation. I output it from Flash to a .swf. Before I output it I set the font (Arial) to embed. It previews fine, when I view the small library review animation in C5 it appears fine. When I F10 to preview the slides, the font has reverted to a default system font. Any idea why the embedded font would not display properly when I do a 5 slide preview in Captivate?
Best, Steve

Rotating text without embedding fonts - how?

No doubt same or similar question was asked and most likely answered but I could not
find anything that would match...
I want to draw column headers of my ADG vertically. So, I need rotate column text 90 degree
and adjust position.
Is it true that it can be achieved with embedded font only? If it is true how can it be done for
Unicode code, which includes ranges for Japanese, Chinese, etc characters. The size of
swf is going to be huge. Several sites like this
http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
claims that they have a solution for the problem without embedding fonts.
Note: I am still using Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. By the way, do TLF libraries work with
3.3 SDK.?
Thanks in advance

Draw your text onto a bitmap image (or take an ImageSnapshot of a Label), then rotate the image.

In design to pdf/x-1a:2001 embedded fonts

Hello Everyone,
I was asked by a printed to export my cs2 indesign file as a pdf/x-1a:2001 file with embedded fonts. The document just came back stating that the font on page 27 is not embedded. The same font is used through out the document. When I double check the font settings in the preflight dialogue box everything looks good. Is there a way to make sure or manually embed fonts?
Thanks!

Adobe Sans MM and Adobe Serif MM are substitution fonts used by Adobe applications to display sans serif and serif text respectively when a font is missing. It is most commonly used by Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Adobe content creation applications (InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop) do not allow you to create content using those fonts. The names not made available on any list for you to choose from. The only time you typically see those font names is if you created a PDF file and one or more of the fonts could not be embedded or were not requested to be embedded and when that PDF file is displayed, the non-embedded fonts are not on the system of the viewer. Thus, the CTRL-D Fonts function in Acrobat or Reader might show that let's say font Inebriated Oblique is not embedded and that font used for its display is Adobe Sans.
I assume what you are seeing is not the font used for display, but rather, the "missing font" ... correct?
There are some very unusual situations in which somehow text content in a PDF file looks like it was formatted in either Adobe Sans or Adobe Serif. This may be the result of what is called refrying a PDF file. Refrying is the process in which a PDF file is printed to the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance and the result is another PDF file after the PostScript is distilled. Such refry operations are strongly discouraged by Adobe given that the PostScript generated by Adobe Acrobat is optimized for PostScript printers, not for creation of PDF, and some anomalies, such as calls for Adobe Sans or Adobe Serif may result.
My best guess is that your original InDesign document has one or more placed PDF files in it that are either missing embedded fonts and are calling for Adobe Sans. Check out each placed PDF file individually and make sure that none are missing embedded fonts and/or refer to Adobe Sans (or Adobe Serif).

Hi Matthias,
Sorry, if this reply seems like a products plug (which it is), but this is really how we solve this software engineering challenge at JKI...
At JKI, we create VI Packages (which are basically installers for LabVIEW instrument drivers and toolkits) of our reusable code (using the package building capabilities of VIPM Professional). We keep a VI Package Configuration file (that includes a copy of the actual packages) in each of our project folders (and check it into source code control just as we do for all our project files). We also use VIPM Enterprise to distribute new VI Packages over the network.
Also, as others have mentioned, we use the JKI TortoiseSVN Tool to make it easy to use TortoiseSVN directly from LabVIEW.
Please feel free to contact JKI if you have any specific questions about these products.
Thanks,
-Jim

Problem with embedded fonts

Downloading pdf files from the web.
Cannot extract the embedded font - does not display properly, does not print. Also sometimes get out of memory

The wording extract is a question. Are you trying to copy the information? That may not be possible and may also be done on purpose by your bank or other company so that you can not copy the information. With Reader there is not much you can do. Either is displays correctly or not. The only option you have is to find the font, download it, and install it. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to find the correct font as many fonts have the same names, but are not compatible.
So apparently these PDFs are being sent to you by these companies. Do they appear correct when viewing them in Reader? If so, you can probably print them by printing as a graphic.

Cannot extract the embedded font arial.Some char might not be displayed

Hi Folks,
              Our requirement is to generate the customer account statement for a set of cusomters during a particular period.
                     we use a script to generate the statement and convert it to pdf.This pdf is then stored in the application server and retrived using cg3y transaction.The transaction allows the statement to be generated for multiple customers and company code.
the problem that we face is that the first customer account statement is generated properly the rest of the statements are not displayed properly.When we open the customer account statement we get the error 'Cannot extract the embedded font arial.Some characters might not be displayed properly'.All the Headings that we of the font BOLD ARIAL were not displayed.
This error does not occur for the first pdf file generated.(say we have 3 customers for the 1st customer pdf is proper however for the next two error'.
                     When I checked the application server I found that the first file has font subtype as Type1 and then rest of the files have font subtype as Truetype.
This is working fine.I downloaded the file to pc using cg3y.the pdf looks fine.

There can be no problem with the code cause the account statement generated for first customer is perfect.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi,
this can be related to the compression of the PDF file.
You can turn off the FlateDecode compression again via report RSTXPDF3 as described in Note #843480. It is a little confusing. The option 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' needs to be set to 'On' to turn off the FlateDecode compression.
To set this please run as follows:
se38 -> RSTXPDF3 -> enter 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' in the 'Name' field -> Select 'Change Settings' radio button
You will get a pop-up 'Do not use flat compression'.
Select the 'on' button.
After this check if the PDF is created correctly.
regards,
Aidan
