EPS Fonts using PrintToPrinter and export to PDF on web server

Post Author: leighlmorgan
CA Forum: .NET
I'm trying to print a Crystal10 report from a web server using PrintToPrinter and exporting it to PDF at the same time for audit purposes. My problem is that the report uses Rotis EPS font which doesn't print correctly (substituted by Arial it appears) or export correctly to PDF. But it does print OK from the web client and exports to RTF, Excel and Word OK.
If I logon to the server as the identity account that the web server is running under (in order to have access to installed printers) then it can print Rotis perfectly happily.
I have tried another EPS font and that also fails to print, so I'm guessing EPS fonts are the root of the problem.
What do I need to do to make EPS fonts work?

In a "word"; you can not. Not with the Crystal Reports SDK anyhow. There are ADOBE provided APIs that will allow merging pf PDF files and possibly other 3rd party tools, but no CR SDK will do that for you.

CRVS2010 Font size reduced when exported to pdf from web or VS2010 IDE

I found much the same issue on this post:
[CRVS2010 Beta - Printing incorrectly using VSCR2010;
I have checked the SP1 docs and this issue is not addressed. I downloaded the runtime CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0-1.zip. I found it using the link in this post [Re: Printing Crystal Report decreasing font Size in web.; No joy.
I have tried to utilize the info referenced in this post,[Re: CRVS2010 Beta - Printing incorrectly using VSCR2010] the link you gave seems to generate a 404. No joy.
I already used every phrase I could think of in the box in the upper right hand corner of the page as you suggested in other posts.
I am surprised that editing registry keys has been the work around for so many years and versions of CR. There also seems to be many conflicting versions of registry edits for the different versions of Visual Studio. I was unable to find any specifically for VS2010.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

BTW The issue occurs whether on my dev machine (localhost) or the production server.
On my dev machine I am running Win7Ultimate with IIS 7 64 bit
Web Server runs Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit
When I open regedit, all of my entries start with HKEY_xxxxxx

Should I use the built in log rolling function on iWS 6 or roll my own using a cron job using stop and start scripts in the web server instance root?

Hi,
You can use either OS cron job based log rotation
OR
Internal daemon log rotation.
It is recommeded to use OS cron job log rotation.
OS=Operating System

Errors in Export to PDF for web use - some images are lost when PDF is enlarged & in browser

I have a multi-page PDF in InDesign CS6 that I want to export to view on the web. I need the file to stay under 2MB, and I need it to be crisp and nice enough to read the type on the page (as small as 9pt type).
The errors that are occurring are the following:
On some browsers, some images will entirely not show up. Some of the missing images have been pasted into the document, some placed. I cannot think of a correlation.
When the PDF is enlarged (Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.10) to more than ~200%, there is one placed image that will mostly disappear. What I mean by "mostly" is that little bits of it are still visible, like I masked it carelessly or something. Since this is only occurring with one image it seems that it would be a problem with the image itself, yes? I'm all ears if I'm making a mistake. It is a placed .ai file with no link errors. Should I not be placing directly from illustrator? It renders wonderfully from 100% all the way up to 188%, and then if you enlarge by margins of 1% little bits of it disappear, almost a chunk at a time.
The way I've been exporting is:
File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print)
Adobe PDF Preset: Smallest File Size
Standard: None
Compatinility: Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)
Options: Optimize for Fast Web View
Export Layers: Visible & Printable Layers
Compression
I always change the downsampling from [100/150] to [150/225]. I usually leave the JPG image quality low. I leave both bottom boxes checked (compress text and line art, crop image data to frames)
Output
Color Conversion: convert to destination
Destination: sRGB 1EC61966-2.1
Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
However, after reading a few other forum questions I started trying to export as Acrobat 4 so that it would flatten. When I do that, problem #2 still persists although I didn't test problem #1. I haven't tried using Distiller, and using the "prepare for web publishing" action within Acrobat itself makes the PDF too artifacted.
At the heart of my question is this: I am a young designer at an old company that is not necessarily keeping up with the times. I REALLY want to know what the best, most efficient way to export a pdf for web viewing is. Does this exist in InDesign, outside of InDesign? Does it exist at all? Tell me what I'm doing wrong so that I can get better!
Thank you in advance.

Show Large Images is a preference inside of Acrobat which might be disabled.

Hi markw14322597,
I've just checked your account: Your subscription order is still pending, which is why you're unable to log in and use your subscription just yet.
It can take 24-48 hours for an order to process, but once it does you'll be able to log in and convert files.

Font Rendering issues in export to PDF-SSRS

Hi,
Its a very strange issue,I am facing from last two days.
I have created a report having text with Gill Sans MT font.I am able to see the text in the mentioned font properly on report server as well as on my development machine.
Issue occurs when I export the report to PDF, as when i open the report in acrobat reader to view the font of the rendered text,it shows the font as Gill#20Sans#20MT which causes the text rendering up in Arial(default font).
If I Export from Word document the font is set as GillSansMT i.e name without spaces and text is rendered in correct font.I have installed the required font on both the locations i.e. report server as well as Development environment.
Thanks & Regards,
AS

Hi Anand Sardesai,
Since the Gill Sans MT font is not been installed on the production server at first. Please make sure the font is installed correctly and that font embedding is granted font. If the referenced font is not installed on the report server, the resulting PDF
file might not contain the correct mappings and might not display correctly when viewed.
Reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159713(SQL.100).aspx
Alternatively, I recommend you reboot the server try to resolve the issue. There is a similar issue for your reference:

Hi Smash126,
Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.
The following document about Add Data or Log Files to a Database is for your reference:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Place multiple pdfs into separate indesign and export to pdf again

Ok I have a lot of PDFs that I need to place into indesign in their own file, then re-export back as a PDF again.
Can anyone recommend a script for this if there is one? All the pdfs have different page counts etc. and I don't need to save the Indesign file.
I just want to put all the PDFs into their own InDesign file and reexport to PDF again. They are all A4 sized PDFs, 210 x 297mm.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks harbs
I need to Save all the pdfs as RTF, and some of the PDFs have bad tags and won't allow me to save as RTF.
I can batch process them in Acrobat to Print to PDF and that works for some, but not all the PDFs, it won't print some of them back to PDF.
I have 100's of these "bad pdfs" and it would be great to be able to place them all into separate indesign files and export out as pdf again. It will be tedious to run the PDF importer and export for all of the files.
I don't need to save the indesign file, just place and export the pdf again.
Just looking to automate the process.

Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser error

I have a new computer and have Acrobat Pro installed. When I try to click on PDF links in browsers, I get an error:
Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser.
I want to be able to open these links using Acrobat Pro. What can I do in Internet Explorer so I don't always receive these errors, and so pdfs automatically open using Acrobat Pro?
Steve

Because it was not designed for Windows 7 doesn't mean it cant run.
If you install the applications as administrator, you shouldn't have problems. I have installed both Reader and Pro versions on Windows 7 32 and 64 bit without problems, as long as I did it as administrator. You right click on the setup and select Run as Administrator. You don't need to do it for updates if you go through the update option on the help panel.

Do i need a network card to install and run a local java web server

Friends,
Do i need a network card in my computer to install and run a local Java Web Server or any Web Server.

network cards are only for connecting equipment together... you can set up a webserver without any more equipment than you have already! Indeed Tomcat... BUT you would be better off with apache for production stuff. It depends what you need to serve... if its mainly static pages (i guess it probably isn't) then apache will be enough by itself; but if you need to serve dynamic pages (JSP, Servlet blah blah) then you will need tomcat. Tomcat has it's own webserver and its perfectly ok for testing or low-load stuff, but you can integrate with Apache (a moderately compex task, but do-able, see tomcat-user forum off of apache site) for greater stability, and you don't have to show the port in the URL... Don't set up a webserver on any pc that contains stuff you don't want hacked into... it becomes very succeptible when the service is up...

My animate file seems to work fine locally, but the images aren't linked properly when I publish and post them to a web server.

I have an HTML5 animation that I am working on. When I preview it locally, it seems to work fine, but when I publish and post it on our web server, it doesn't seem to be able to find the images. The images are all in the images folder and it all seems to be pointing the right location, but it isn't showing up properly on the web server.
If anyone has any insight, I would greatly appreciate it.

The site runs fine offline. If I am watching it locally, it seems to be OK. The problem only occurs when I copy all of the content to the host. I have also checked to be sure that the images are in the correct folder and uploaded.
Here is one of the images that is definitely live, but is showing as unlinked/missing in the HTML5 version.

Printing error and Export to PDF error after a Quark Express convert

I are working on a catalogue that was previously made with Quark Express. I used q2id to convert over to InDesign CS3. I had some minor issues setting up the new fonts, but that was no big deal. Now that the catalogue is close to finished, I want to do some test print, however, on several of the files it start processing the printing, finish the processing of all the pages, then kills the print job and comes with the following error:
Print Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem.
Similar error happens when I try to export to PDF, this error only says:
Failed to Export PFD file
Anyone had a similar problem?? I've done a preflight but ID does not indicate any problems with the file nor its content. Is there another tool to scan the file with to find errors?? Possible fix it?? Is there a log file I could check??
In advance, thanks guys.
Working on:
InDesign CS3
Windows XP Pro, SP02
2 GB RAM

Thanks Ken,
Not sure how to check if we do have OPI comments on some of the images, but looks like I have found a solution to the printing problem at least.
Thanks to a respons by Peter Spier to another topic with similar problems:
Peter Spier - 4:00am Mar 11, 08 PST (#5 of 6)
The symptoms could describe document corruption rather than network issues which might fall into the category of things that can be cleared up through export to .inx.
Try exporting one or two of the problem files to interchange format, open those and save as new .indd and make a new book file. See if that behaves differently across the network.
I also found another article about INX files, that confirms this technique:
http://avondale.typepad.com/indesignupdate/2005/08/what_the_heck_i.html
"...INX can also help “clean up” problem files in InDesign CS2—if you’re running into problems, especially with files that started their lives as QuarkXPress or PageMaker files, try exporting the document as INX and then opening that file."
So, I
1. exported all files, one by one to INX or InDesign InterChanged
2. Then reopened those files, saved back as regular .indd files
3. Reopend the new file (hoping for a refreshed file and test to see if it would open without problems.)
4. Then packed the files indevidually and reopend the new packed files when done.
Alle the files now print without any problems but export to PDF still fails with the same error message.
Would the OPI comment be a problem here maybe?
Thanks!

How do I write a Java Class that Loads a RPT and exports to PDF All Automatically?

I am using Crystal Reports for Eclipse and I am trying to create a java class that will do everything independently. It will take a .rpt file, load it with data from the database and then export that to a pdf file and put that pdf in a specific location with a specific name. I am using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse and the sample jsp project does that but I am looking for a java class example that doesn't require human interaction through the website. I have read the help file and seen snippet examples but I am not seeing a complete example. Could someone point me in the proper direction of a good example either in the forum or the help file for eclipse?

Hi, If you wanted to achieve this in a JSP page then I would suggest using the JSP Page Wizard as it allows you to select PDF as an output type. You can run the wizard and choose the PDF output and it will automatically generate the required code for you. However, as you want to use a Java class then I would suggest downloading the following package of sample code:<a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip">http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip</a> This package includes a number of sample Java classes that demonstrate how to use the engine. The one that you will be interested in is titled "JRCExportReport" To make life easier I would suggest trying the class in a Crystal Reports Web Project as the runtime libraries will automatically be in the classpath. Anyway, give this a shot and let me know how you make out.

Retaining original font in CR2008 while exporting to PDF

Hi,
Do we have a fix/patch available for retaining the original font when exporting to PDF in 2008 yet? The solution i see is to update the registry files. Do we have any other solution like a fixed dll file or a patch already available for download at SAP website?
I cannot update the registry settings as it is not allowed where i work so need a patch/fixed dll file to get rid of this issue.
Your quick response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Are you sure it is the 'Font' that is not being retained? Or is it the size?
The only workaround like you said is the registry key and unfortunately, there is no Fix Pack available to address this issue.
