Embeded fonts AFP file

Is there a way to embade the fonts in an afp file? I tried using the DownloadFonts = Yes but it still asks for the resources when opening the AFP file; is there another way to accomplish this?

Check out the AFPRESRC utility. I believe it's available in 11.4 and higher.

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.

When trying to upload a PDF to an interactive site I get the announcement:"The attached PDF file references a non-embedded font Tahoma. Please remove file, embed the font and reattach." How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

When trying to upload a PDF to an interactive site I get the announcement: "The attached PDF file references a non-embedded font Tahoma. Please remove file, embed the font and reattach."
I could not get rid of the Tahoma font in the WORD file.
How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

Thank you very much !
Indeed, I was unaware of the enormous number of options that can be selected when converting a WORD file to PDF.
I went thru the settings and found the right one for embedding the fonts.
Thanks again !

Save as PDF Files too large, Remove Embedded Fonts/Compress Fonts

When I create PDF's using "Save as PDF" in Mac OS X, the file sizes are much larger than is acceptable for my application. For example, a recent PDF I created ended up at 1.7 MB and I need it to be around 150 kB.
When I open the file in Acrobat Pro 6.0 and audit the file, I see that 94% of the file size is taken up by embedded fonts. I can then Optimize PDF with Acrobat Pro and remove the embedded fonts. The file size drops to around 145 kB.
Is there any way to NOT embed fonts when creating PDF's with Mac OS X? Also, is there any way to compress with Mac OS X in a manner similar to Acrobat Pro?

Hi LD,
I don't think so that this is possible.
I have the same problem to ... even when I open a existing PDF file that I downloaded from the net. It was 150 Kb an after I work in it to make same changes I save it an turns up to be 2 to 3 Mb or sometimes even more ...
I open de PDF than in Acrobat pro and remove everything I don't want ... I select in Acrobat Pro an select 'optimise PDF'

Embedding Fonts into a PDF file - Best Solution/s

Good day
What is the best solution or solutions to Embedding Fonts into a PDF file?
Kind Regards

Amplifing on what Test Screen Name posted.
--| Use a Distiller Job Option that embeds fonts.
--| Use Acrobat Pro's (starting with 9.x) Preflight that embeds fonts (if they are present and installed on the local machine).
--| Untick "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" in the Adobe PDF Document Properties dialog.

Embedding fonts within a postscript file

Hi all, I want to know the best way to embed specific fonts within a postscript file. More specifically, I have several postscript procedures that will draw shapes, graphs, and make labels based on the user's input. Right now the font is hard-coded, and it works on my machine, but I want to actually embed some other fonts within the postscript so that no matter where the program is running, the fonts will work when the user prints the file.
Thanks!

Rename embedded fonts in a .pdf file

Is it is possible to rename the embedded fonts of a .pdf file?

You can safely removed the system times and helvetica.
http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html
If you use iCal, Mail and a few other Apple programs that use badges on the dock icon you will get a substitute font on the icon, but having another helvetica will fix that. You need 1 Helvetica of any type or Photoshop will not launch.
The only fonts you NEED in OS X are Lucida Grand (used in menus), Last Resort, and Keyboard. The rest can be deleted. Apple says you have to keep Kana, but if you aren't working in any Asian languages you can remove it without system instability. To be safe and follow Apple's guidelines you can keep it.

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.

Font for File information not embedding properly

On two different machines (32- and 64-bit Vista Home) with two different versions of IDCS4 (6.03 and 6.04) when I export to PDF with "Page Information" checked under Marks and Bleeds I get PDFs where the file info and time stamp are in a Times NR that Acrobat 9 Pro on the same machine cannot edit. Settings for PDF export are "Press" or close to, and the Acrobat Properties list of fonts says TimesNewRomanPSMT exists as an embedded subset, Truetype Identity-H.
Now I really don't want to alter the File Info, but at the printer's it seems that the font problem raises pre-flight flags. When I try Acrobat's Touch-up text on the File Info I get a notice the font isn't editable, though all the other text seems okay (and some is quite strange, including a custom font of Yiching hexagrams).
Am I missing something simple here? Killing the damn File Info makes the problem go away, but if I'm going to do that I wonder if I might as well kill Crops and Registration too.
Thanks in advance,
David

Yes, I understood that Helvetica was necessary on the Mac for proper use of File Information, but I'm on Windows, where Helvetica is not a system font: according to the lists available from Microsoft Typography, Helvetica does not come with Windows nor with Adobe CS4; moreover, it isn't among the "Goodies" that came with my CS4 Design Premium.
It seems strange to me that ID would put the File Info in a PDF in a font that isn't standard on the platform and therefore cannot be embedded. This caused a printer's pre-flight to reject my files for un-embedded fonts unrelated to the real content of the PDF. Maybe I've run into an account representative at the printer's too new to understand a pre-flight check, but even so.... I checked my archives and the File Info was likewise un-editable although the PDFs displaying it still made it into print years ago -- so this problem isn't with my CS 4 installation.
I assume putting the File Info on the pages is a holdover from camera-copy days, and that the built-in metadata is more pertinent in an electronic workflow -- and immune to font issues. I'd also have thought the printer would not want marks for crops and registration, but like the Page Info, those are still in the September revision of their gudelines for file preparation. (The innovation in September was to allow direct export from ID -- previously they'd insisted on Distilling to Acrobat 5 format on grounds of transparency problems!) Keeping up with the technology is a challenge we all face.
Meantime, David Blatner's trick for modifying IDCS2's printer's marks seems never to have allowed modifying the typeface, and seems not to work for CS4 or Vista. But I shouldn't need to go that far.
Should I make the problem go away by leaving out the File Info, knowing they don't really want it anyway? Crops and registration?

Embedding fonts in Bridge (Photoshop CS5)

Hi folks!
I'm sorry for posting but I still have trouble with creating PDF via Bridge.
I have sveral PSD-Files (CS5 made) using several image- and textlayers.
Now I want to create multipage-PDF using Bridge that comes with PS CS5.
Works fine so far but Bridge does not embed those fonts used in the PSD!
Seems to me Bridge just merges all layers to one pixelbased image and saves it in PDF-format.
But that's no good deal!
In CS2 there was a much better solution in PS2 allowing to create multipaged PDF with embedded fonts.
Is there any chance to embed fonts with Bridge?
Plz don't tell me to use Acrobat or InDesign because I'm only using PS CS5.
Thx!

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

How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font. I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

Anna;
Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Problem with PDF export and embedded font (characters disappear)

Designer: Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2
Engine: CR4E 2.0 SP2 (runtime_12.2.203)
Hi there!
we found a problem in the pdf export. It seems like there would be a problem with the embedded fonts, the problem is as follows:
Rpt file with, for example only a text box which contains the german string " Änderungs Schlüssel ".
Export the Rpt file with CR4E to a pdf file.
When we open the pdf file in Adope Reader 8, the text appears to be correct,
but if we print the PDF file from the Adope Reader, the text changes to " nderungs Schl sselu201C,
here we are missing ther german umlaute.
When we open the file for example with an alternative PDF reader like Foxit Reader, there they are also missing.
After i found some posts here in the forum, there are people facing the same problem, since i couldn't find a solution in the forum, we build a little workaround for it that works for us.
For all of you that have the same problem here the workaround:
We used the IText JAVA library, this jar can can help as to fix the PDF file so the text is displayed correctly.
Here the code:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
doc.open("C:\XY.rpt", OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
//... database logon,.....
InputStream inputStream = doc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
inputStream = PDFHealer.heal(inputStream);
//... write the stream some where

The helper class using IText:

import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
public class PDFHealer
   public static InputStream heal(InputStream in) throws DocumentException, IOException
      try
         ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
         PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(in);
         // we retrieve the total number of pages
         int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
         // step 1: creation of a document-object
         Document document = new Document();
         // step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document
         PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, out);
         // step 3: we open the document
         document.open();
         // step 4: we add content
         PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
         int i = 0;
         while( i < n )
            document.newPage();
            i++;
            PdfImportedPage page1 = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
            cb.addTemplate(page1, 0, 0);
         // step 5: we close the document
         document.close();
         ByteArrayInputStream ret = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray());
         out.close();
         return ret;
      finally
         in.close();

My computer is on a local network. When I access my computer as a local user, Firefox does not render any @font-face embedded font correctly for any website.

I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling, creating a clean profile, and other things. The CSS is correct because it works for every other supported browser...event this particlar installation when used with a network login. Other computers on our network (but not ALL) seem to have similar problems, but only when someone logs on to the machine locally (not via Windows Active Directory).
The browser attempts to render the embedded font, but it appears jagged, so it's not that the CSS isn't getting seen, the browser just doesn't render it smoothly. Are there any particular settings that I should look at? On every machine I've tested, both the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled (true) and gfx.use_text_smoothing_setting (false) configuration settings have been the same.
I realize that there could be some differences regarding network local computer policy for network logins vs. local logins, but I have no idea how that might pertain to Firefox specifically.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
