Embedding Fonts using FormsServices

Hi all,
I have made the fonts available on the fonts directory of LiveCycle Server at /opt/adobe.
I have configured this location on the Core Configurations of Adobe LiveCycle on the Customer Fonts Directory as well.
I have marked all the fonts that I have made available onto the Forms and Output Service Configurations to Embed.
The issue is I am not getting the fonts embedded on the PDF. Do I need to change the XCI format too to accomplish this?
I read it in this post about the XCI formatting --> http://forums.adobe.com/message/1363781#1363781
Cheers

Yes Steve. The fonts are embeddable as I see the same fonts embedded in a DOC1 PDF which we are replacing.
Another observation that I had is, if I am saving the XDP as PDF using designer, I see the fonts embedded but this is not going to solve the problem as I need to use the FormsServices to prefill the XDP and get a PDF as a result.
Cheers

How to get collection of embeded fonts using plugins in acrobat reader?

I am trying to create a plugin for acrobat reader to display embedded fonts on opened document and will do business logic afterward, but not sure whats the method to get the collection of embedded fonts.
Please give me example of code snippet how to get collection of embedded fonts of opened document.
Thanks

PDDocEnumFonts() will enumerate the fonts in a document for you. You will have to look at each font to determine if it's embedded or not.
Don't forget that to build a plugin for Reader, you need a license from Adobe.

Embedding fonts//using css

do you know how to use the embed fonts feature and css? or anti-alias the text that is styled using css?
i have tried to set:
titlefield.embedFonts = true;
titlefield.stylesheet = sheet;
but it does not work. if i comment out the embedFonts the css works fine but the text is very aliased. but as3 does not support the embed font property within css.
i appreciate any help!!

you need to embed, at least, one font in your library: click the upper right of your library panel, click new font, select a font, tick the characters you want to embed, assign a name, click the actionscript tab and tick export for actionscript and assign a class name, eg YourFont.
you can then use:
var yf:Font = new YourFont();
var yfO:Object = {fontFamily:yf.fontName};
var ss:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet()
ss.setStyle(".yourfont", yfO);
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.styleSheet = ss;
addChild(tf);
tf.embedFonts = true;
tf.htmlText = "<span class='yourfont'>your text in YourFont</span> ";

Embedded font issues -- Flex not measuring properly

I started this out in one thread ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/470702 ) and it has progressed into a new, bigger issue. I embedded fonts using the code below. Flex is not measuring them properly or the font I'm using is vertically challenged. I suspect the font I am embedding has different vertical spacing than the default font. I have determined the fonts are embedding by rotating the containers.
Here's an example of what I'm getting:
The right side radio button is the raw display (height works out to 23), the left side radio button I forced the height to 15. Both the radio buttons are set to exactly the same y coordinate. You can see the right hand text is not centered on the radio button. I don't want to go thru the hassle of adjusting every single component height to make the font look centered plus that's an ugly workaround.
I don't think there is anything wrong with my code nor do I think a font swf will help. I sure would like to know what's going on but it is beyond my understanding. Here's my thought. I like the default font the compiler uses when I DON"T embed fonts, looks like this:
I figure if I could embed this font, everything would work properly. I just don't where this font lives. The docs indicate the default font is _serif but it looks more like _sans to me. And I don't know the hierarchy for my platform.
So... Does anyone know either how to fix this measurement issue or where I can find THE True Type font or swf or something that Flex uses as a default so I could embed it?
/* CSS file */

fontStyle: italic;
global {
font-family: MainFont;

First off, yes there was a correction to the left hand radio button. I forced the height of the button to be different and that seemed to help center things
After a bit of beating my head against the way, I decided to run a simpler test. I set up a case where I had default fonts side by side with embedded fonts. Since my default.css file had Verdana I decided to use a Verdana embedded font. I figured I could compare them directly and maybe play with advanced anti-aliasing at the same time. I've attached the files (change the txt extension to mxml)
The result was a somewhat of a surprise. I didn't realize that all text really wasn't centered on the component (eg radio button, checkbox) at my default size and below. I do see the small pixel shift, especially in the Button.
So... I have found the "real" font declaration in the defaults.css file, am seeing the small pixel shift with embedded fonts, that using advanced anti-aliasing can help on smaller text, and realized I have to be very careful where I use font sizes smaller than default. I'm guessing that the "perfect" default size on my system would be 12 since that appears what my Verdana.ttf font is based on. My defaults.css file has the font size set at 10. The inability to measure properly is exacerbated when the fonts are embedded.
Now the real question -- anyone have a clever fix?

Embeding Fonts from TTF File

Hi,
I had a very basic question on using Embeded Fonts in SWF files.
I have to use a Italic effect on a Arail Font text, for this should I use ARIAL.TTF and apply the italic effect on it or Should I go for ARIALI.TTF file?
What is the difference and which is the correct way of doing it?
I am acutally working on a PPT to SWF converter and I am not able to match the look at feel of the Italic or Bold fonts in PPT and SWF, any suggestions where I should look for help on understanding how fonts are used?

Hi Peter,
     Thanks for your reply.
     I did some experimentation and found that I can embed the Arail.ttf file and apply FontStyle=Italic property in my MXML tag and it shows me a italic form of Arail font. But when I try to use the same embeded font using FontRange and specify FontStyle = Italic in font range the italic font is not shown on the UI. Why is there a difference in MXML and Font Range ?
     I understand that I should use ARIALI.TTF file for Italic fonts but the problem is that it increases the size of my SWF. And even if somebody has used a italic style for couple of words it increases the size significantly. I want to avoid that.
     Can you tell me why FontStyle on normal Embede font work from MXML and not from FontRange?
-Saurabh.

Hi Jin-Huang
          But when I use Simple ASProject with SDK 4.1 then it works fine but when I create Flex project then it give error
with SWFContext.
I think it's a issue of swfcontext or AS comunication with Spark components.
Please let me know if any solution.
Thanks

Module not unloading if embedded font was ever used

So, I have a test app that uses modules with the font embeded. Using ModuleManager I am able to load up the module. Once I call   IModuleInfo.factory.create(), I am then able to setStyle("fontFamily", "BPDiet") and the font does show up. The issue I am now having is that once I have used a font from a module, even if my TextArea is no longer using it (I even tried removing the textArea, and replacing it with a new one), the module will not unload.
I read through this "What We Know About Unloading Modules" and I think I am not leaving any references around.They are loaded using the load() defaults. There is no code (that is used) in the module. The modules are not being added to the display, so they never receive focus.
Note that I am unable to run the profiler as suggested in the article as I don't have the premium Flash Builder 4. <grrr>
Note that the first module that is loaded, I can never get to unload, even if I never used the font embedded in it, but all subsequent modules will unload, if I do not use the embedded font. I can live with the first one being pinned as long as I can unload the others that are not in use.
Here is the code from one of my modules:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

A couple things to note; I am calling System.rc() in the unloadCurrentFont() method just to speed up seeing the SWF unload in the debug console. The DoNonImportantWork() is there to just cause some events to happen and to create some objects that will need to be GC'ed. It also let me know that the fonts are not getting registered in Font.
I'm going to have 30 fonts (and more, that designer is busy) that I will need to be able to dynamically load, but right now, loading them with CSS style modules blows up after about 15 because style modules register the font so I cannot unload the CSS swf.

To help eliminate the question of whether the TextArea is being held by something else, I have removed it from the MXML, and now programatically create it. That did not help.
So, I got the trial version of Flash Builder 4 installed on another machine in the office so that I can use the profiler. (The profiler is pretty cool by the way).
After a lot of profiing, I found four paths to the module's FlexModuleFactory.
Two of those paths go to EmbeddedFontRegistry, whose data is static. I could get into it and remove font entry and free up the moduleFactory from there. This is a hack, that entry in/on EmbeddedFontRegistry.font should have been cleaned up by the code removing the fontFamily from the TextArea. (Note that EmbeddedFontRegistry is marked [ExcludeClass], which I assume means I should not really be messing with it.
The other two I cannot get to as they are anonymous. They also don't appear to be referenced, as the Object References shows them both as GC root objects. Here is a screen shot:
I did a search through the sdk code and 'fbs' only shows up as a parameter on the init function of various Marshal support classes, but is not used in the init()
Anyway, these references to the FlexModuleFactory do not get held if I do not use the embeded font in the module.
Here is the updated code:

I really think I've reached the end of what I can do. This really seems like a bug.

Reader does not use or display the embedded fonts

I have an odd problem with both Reader X and XI. Neither one will use the embedded fonts when opened from an email. I can forward from that PC to any other PC and the fonts will display correctly. The HP is Windows 7 64 bit. I can view the document that was forwarded through it on XP, Win7 Win8 or Ipad and it displays correctly. The "use local fonts" is uncheck but it seems to ignor the change.

Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.7 ?
I think you need to add this to the list of applications and the action to take on the type of content. This can also be managed in the about:permissions page. [[Permissions Manager - Give certain websites the ability to store passwords, set cookies and more]]

Cannot Extract Embedded Font in PDF Report Generated Using Crystal Reports XI

The issue is that sometimes the PDF reports generated by Crystal Report XI are not showing the fonts properly. Arial font is used in the Crystal report template(.rpt file) for field label and data elements. When the report is opened in Adobe Reader, it displays the message - "Cannot extract the embedded font 'AAAAAA+ArialBold'. some characters may not display or print correctly." Other PDF Readers like Foxit show blank spaces instead. I tried to change the font to Courier New, Times New Roman etc but still getting the same message.
The issue is consistent when the application is deployed in Windows server. When deployed in Unix server the issue happens very occasionally. The font files are available and installed in the UNIX box.
Please tell me why this error message is shown and also tell me how to get it fixed.

Hi Scot
Just replied to your email re. conf call.
In the meantime.
1st question.
    Some of our developers are creating the reports under crystal 2008, while some are 2011.
    Could this be a problem, when they are run by the SDK?
    Should we upgrade all our developers to crystal 2011?
The version of CR a report is created in should not matter at all. I am 100% certain this is not the issue.
2nd question
    When the report is run, to create the pdf... why would it actually embed the font on the pdf?
    if they weren't embedded.. wouldn't it just pull up the proper font, if the user's pc had that font on their
    pc?
    if it does the common fonts aren't embedded, we would just have to worry about the things like
    barcode 3 of 9
I can not answer this as that essentially is the way the product is designed. It may look like a limitation, but there are no work-arounds and I would not consider this to be a bug. Perhaps an enhancement, but a pretty faint hope there. And even if, enhancements take very, very low priority and take long, long time before implementation.
3rd question
    Would the fonts, just need to be installed on the server?   we've seen some indication, that they
    also need to be in a java sub-directory
The fonts must be on the server as that is where the report engine does it's work, then the report is streamed to the user's browser. E.g.; there is no work done on the browser. Also, the process must have rights to access the fonts.
One last point. You mention deployment to Linux. Linux is not supported. Please see: SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Supported Platforms
I suspect this is more an issue with CR not working with the framework for Linux.

How to use embedded font (CFF) for Flash CS4?

Hi,
I am trying to embed "Arial Unicode MS" for use by TLF in my Flash CS4 project. As I googled around, I am using the "Flex SWC" approach, only not having any luck. Here is what I got:
//Code in Flex ActionScript project:
package
    public class FontEmbeds
        [Embed(source='C:/Windows/Fonts/ARIALUNI.TTF',
                fontFamily='ArialUnicodeMS',
                embedAsCFF='true'
        public const Font1:Class;
When I am trying to instantiate this class, I have AS code in my Flash main timeline:
var font:Font = new FontEmbeds_Font1();
Flash compiler says: "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type FontEmbeds_Font1 to an unrelated type flash.text:Font."
Ok. Now after I changed it to:
var font:FontEmbeds_Font1 = new FontEmbeds_Font1();
Flash gives 3 errors:
"VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::FontAsset could not be found.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TextLayout is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable MainTimeline is not defined."
I am assuming I have to create a Font1 object in order to use the embedded font. Is this assumption correct? As I've tried to use the "fontFamily" directly but Flash didn't seem to find the font at all:
charFormat.fontFamily = "ArialUnicodeMS";
Thanks.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the info.
I've tried to use the "fontFamily" directly but Flash didn't seem to find the font at all:
charFormat.fontFamily = "ArialUnicodeMS";
In one fla where I used pure TFL, nothing gets rendered at all in the container Sprite. Flash doesn't throw any errors either. In another fla where I used a ComboBox, etc. along with TFL, it throws an error says it can't compile since "there is no ActionScript found" and I got a screen where all the Flash components were flickering. After several attempts, Flash crashed.
Also as a side note, the swc gets generated by Flash Builder Beta 2, at first it was 18mb and the second time I complied it become 9mb and stayed 9mb afterwards. Not sure if that's a concern.

(How) can I use Embeded Fonts in Flex 3.3

If I understand correctly, I need to transcode/embed the fonts in Flex 4 / CS 4, but is there any way to then get those embeded fonts into a Flex 3.3 application?

Support for DefineFont4 (the cff property) is new in Flex Gumbo. It is not available in Flex 3.X. That said – I do have a solution for you. Create a separate Flex Gumbo project and use the cff property to embed the font you need into that SWF. Then embed the font SWF that you just created in Gumbo into your Flex 3.3 application.
Check out the “Building a Font SWF for use in any Flash Application” section in my DefineFont4 blog post:
http://blogs.adobe.com/tlf/2008/11/embedded_font_subsetting_using.html
Here is an article on embedding a SWF in Flex:
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/10/25/embedding-fonts-from-a-flash-swf-file-into-a-flex- application/
Hope this helps!

Arabic vocalization diacritics are not rendered correctly using Adobe Arabic as Embedded Font

Hi,
Vocalization diacritics are rendered as independent characters.
Vocalization diacritics should be rendered combined and merged with the characters preceding them like in the third line of the attached image.
Have a look at the SWF:
1) The first line is aTextLayoutComponent which uses Adobe Arabic as en Embeded Font.
2) The second line is using the System Font Adobe Arabic.
Does anyone have an idea ?
I personally think, when you choose System Font, it uses System Text rendering Engine. But if you embeed font flash has problem with rendering the diacritics properly.

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
