Export command do not show missing font error

Our plug-in is using the SDK's PDFExportCmd to export InDesign file to PDF.
Every thing works fine, except we got into a serious issue when one of the Font is missing in the Indesign file.
When an InDesign file having missing font is exported it successfully converted to PDF without reporting any error, by replacing the missing font with default font!
The PDF preset used has following properties but looks like InDesign completely ignore these property.
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Warning
or
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Error
or
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Ignore
Please note that when same InDesign file is exported using InDesign's Export... it reports the error message saying Font is missing!
Are we missing something?
Is there some properties that need to be set while exporting to PDF?
Or is it a serious bug in PDFExportCmd?
Alternatively is there a way to validate the InDesign file before exporting?
(I saw the api IExportValidationCmdData, but there is no documentation on it usage.)

There is no difference in the contents of the trial of iWork you get with a new Mac or with iLife '06 & the retail box.
I've learned not to delete any of the fonts that come with Apple apps any more because of things like the error you got. It's odd that a Pages document is using that particular font. I have two copies of that font on my G5, one in the main fonts folder & another in a folder of fonts that came with AppleWorks. The one in the AppleWorks folder has an Apple version 3.3 © & a date of 2000. Both have an Esselte Letraset © with a date of 1990.

Missing Fonts Error

A lot of people post questions or frustrations about missing font errors in FrameMaker. FrameMaker reports missing fonts because it can be a big expensive deal if you miss the mistake when going to press.

Fixing the Missing Fonts Error This information is courtesy of Tim Murray. Check out his site: <a target="wander" href="http://www.techknowledgecorp.com">http://www.techknowledgecorp.com</a> and the Frame-specific help at <a target="wander" href="http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/help">http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/help</a>. The Problem <ul><li>You open a Frame file and the console reports that a font was not found, so another was substituted.</li> <li>You cannot generate a book because Frame tell you it can't properly open all the files.</li></ul> Load the font This is the obvious fix. "Don't care" solution In this solution, you are positive you never used the font, but even if you did, the substitution FrameMaker provides would be okay anyway. <ol><li>Close the file.</li> <li>Turn off the "Remember Missing Font Names" preference.</li> <li>Open the file (you will get the error again) and save. </li> <li>The next time you open the file, the message will be gone.</li></ol> "Programmed" solution Here you want to substitute the missing font for one that is different than the choice FrameMaker provides. <ol><li>Turn off the "Remember Missing Font Names" preference</li> <li>Exit FrameMaker.</li> <li>In a text editor (notepad.exe), open the maker.ini file.</li> <li>Edit the ini line "DefaultFamily=". In most cases it is Times New Roman, Times, Tms Rmn. Insert the font of choice at the front. For example:</li> DefaultFamily=NewCenturySchlbk, Times, Times New Roman, Tms Rmn You don't have to have anything after the first item, but it doesn't hurt. <li>Remove the changed font from your system either by turning it off in ATM or removing it from your Fonts folder.</li> <li>Add the new font. </li> <li>Open the FrameMaker file. FrameMaker's console should report that your original font is missing and the new font was substituted.</li> <li>Save the file. The change is done.</li></ol> When Font Errors Interfere with Books and Updates You may be in a situation where you need to do an update, but in order to do so you would have to override the fonts . . . but you would rather not, because doing so would mess up the design. The solution is to open the file or files that are missing the fonts; if the affected files are open during the generate, you won't get the "cannot open file" error message. If you need to open all the files of a book, you do NOT have to run down the book list and open each one separately. Instead, you can simply Shift+click or Ctrl+click the files you want (and a Ctrl+A, in Windows, selects the whole list). In FM6 and earlier, press Enter. In FM7, right-click > Open. Each file will open (but, of course, you may have to acknowledge missing font messages). Also, you can open all files in the book at once this way: <ol><li>Make the book file active in FrameMaker--so it is in the foreground.</li> <li>Shift+click the File menu selection, in the menu bar.</li> <li>Shift+clicking File gives you book-level options in the File menu, including "Open All Files in Book."</li></ol> Thanks again to Tim for the information used here.

Missing fonts error even though fonts installed

Hi,
At work we use Gill Sans as our corporate font. These fonts have been installed in Windows (and I can see them in Control Panel > Fonts). Yet, when I open a file with these fonts I get a Missing Fonts error with Gill Sans font missing. My colleagues don't get this error, and I have checked that the same fonts are installed on their machines. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
- Is your font appearing in the 'Find Font' dropdown list?
- Is the document you're trying to open one you created yourself or is this coming from some other office?
(If so I'd advise to get a packaged document so you can use the exact fonts initially used and see if that makes a difference)
- What version of InDesign are you running and what version was the publication created in?
It could be that your font is not the exact same one that was used to create the document.

Play to order command does not show--help

When I rearrange my ipod shuffle list and do control click on a song for the shortcut menu the play to order command does not show up i the menu. The menu does not look like what was in the other post. I am frustrated because I listen to audiobooks... and need them in order.
The menu has lots of options, but not the play order command. HELP.

Hello Beth,
Unfortunately, Apple didn't consider that some people might buy a shuffle but want to use it in normal ways. I'm not using iTunes anymore... it causes more trouble than help. But I remember iTunes arranging the music on my shuffle in the order items were put there. Why don't you try it?

How to say NSFontPanel to not show some fonts

I need that my application (osx 10.6.8+) not shows some fonts. I have tried to assign subclass of NSFontManager and NSFontPanel from setFontManagerFactory:/setFontPanelFactory: and override availibleFonts methods but nothing happens. Seems that it's bug in OSX.

DNG files exported from LR4 not showing changes made when opened in PSE10?

I have LR4, and once I make some develop changes I've been exporting the files I want to use as DNG. I then open them in PSE10 to make final edits. It's been working fine, actually I had an older version of Adobe Raw in my PSE on my other computer. So when I opened in PSE it would ask if I wanted to conver to compatible version to edit in camera raw. I always said no b/c I didn't need to do anymore raw edits. Now that I have installed PSE on my new computer, it has the new ACR version I guess. When I open the DNGs to edit now I no longer get this error message, but it's showing my contrast, etc. as a standard raw setting instead of the changes I made in LR. Some are showing....like vibrance, but "recovery" which I know is "highlights" in LR, and other things are not showing correctly. I know that the options are different, but I don't want to use the ACR settings that it's using when I open the file, or have to go through them again. I'm sure there's something I'm missing but can't figure it out. Thanks for any help!

I quite simply did not comment on the issue of "it is supposed to be better to keep DNG files as opposed to NEF files now, right?"
The issue you raised in your original post, and the issue of choosing DNG versus NEF, are completely separate and independent.
The issue of transferring photos to PSE would cause the exact same problems in your case whether or not you use DNG or NEF.
On the issue of converting photos from NEF to DNG, there are advantages and disadvantages, some people do and some people don't. If you'd like to know more, I suggest you search this forum, there are plenty of discussions on this topic.

Missing font error on PDF conversion

FrameMaker book that has been updated and converted with same set of fonts and styles many times will not convert to PDF on one machine. (I use a Mac running XP in Parallels for Frame, then Distiller Mac.) The error is "findfont" looking for Helvetica-Oblique. This and all needed Helveticas are present, and I've updated this machine's Distiller's PDF font settings to know where they are--to no avail. I have set Distiller to either warn and continue or ignore missing fonts.
This same file converts with no trouble on a second Mac with the same set-up. Acrobat distills with warn and continue, the substituted and/or non-embedded fonts clearly visible in the job log, through all 182 pages of the book.
Is the problem a corrupt font? Bad settings file (and where might I locate it to replace)? Something in what Frame is generating (.ps file)? Printer driver (Acrobat printer actually hangs on either machine)? Should I post this query to the Acrobat forum?
Thanks for any insight....
Karen Robbins

Forgive my erroneous terminology.... Yes, FrameMaker can open the files with missing fonts. No problem finding .ps files: I actually distill manually because Distiller is on the Mac. No, I am not using a default printer that lists Helvetica Narrow Bold as a built-in font. This font occurs in a file to which I import a large amount of tabular text that is preformatted by an MML file. We've been doing it this way for more than 5 years. This will probably make you cringe: Helvetica Narrow is not, and has never been, installed on the Windows side--only on the Mac side where Distiller lives.
There are now potentially two problems:
1) When FrameMaker is set to a printer other than Adobe PDF, a .ps file is generated and yes, I can see where the file chokes in Distiller; if I modify the suspect font on that page, the .ps file will distill up to the next instance of that font. This problem is correctly dealt with via warn-and-continue and/or substitution settings on a second machine with the same set-up as the one on which the problem occurs. Note: Using Parallels to run Windows XP, which uses an HP printer driver to reach my physical local printer (regardless of the make/model it happens to be). On the second machine, I have network printers and several different PPDs.
2) When the FrameMaker printer is set to Adobe PDF on the problem machine, no .ps file is generated because that printer does not find Helvetica Narrow Bold--apparently just as it should.
Because FrameMaker can generate .ps files and Distiller can distill them on a second machine with the same (apparent) set-up, from the same source material, I want to understand what it is about the fonts, or the font substitution instruction, that is possibly causing the problem. Or, perhaps adding an additional printer PPD (one that works on the second machine) to the problem machine could clear this up?
Thanks for more insight....

Exporting as a PDF with missing fonts - help please?

Hi,
I am using Windows In Design CS4 and an agency provided us with a template via Mac OSX.
Some of the fonts they used appear to be missing on Windows (mainly the ITC bookman family), I open the file anyway. When I export it to a PDF the PDF appears for the most part to be the same, despite the missing fonts.
My questions are:
Is the copy now just a closest match chosen by In Design (I think it may be using Bookman Old Style? If not, what is stopping me using font inserted by an external agency?
Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy the ITC bookman family?
I appreciate your help; I’m a beginner who has to teach himself!!
Neil

Bookman Oldstyle should be a very close match (if that is, indeed, what's getting substituted). I wouldn't bother buying ITC Bookman, unless you have to roundtrip your files with the agency. Substituting fonts and checking line endings would get old fast.
So you can be sure of what's getting substituted, go to Type > Find Font, find all usages of ITC Bookman and replace them with Bookman Oldstyle. It seems like you have a PDF from the agency, so you can compare a few substitutions and see if anything changed. You should expect line endings in running copy (long paragraphs) to change slightly.
If you really feel the need to buy ITC Bookman, I would just buy it from ITC (http://www.itcfonts.com/fonts/detail.aspx?PID=201890). Their price is not going to be much different than anyone else's. Check with the agency to make sure they have Type 1 ITC Bookman, not Opentype ITC Bookman, and then buy the same format they have. It's even possible they have a Truetype version. You would want to match it exactly, so you would have to buy the same font that they have, but in PC format instead of Mac format.

Missing font error

Using Illustrator 10, I open an old AI file and see the error message "this file uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified", and mentions "Myriad Bold", which is not (visibly) used in the file.
It then gives me the choice of replacing the fonts or cancelling.
But this replacement is temporary, I get the same error every time I open the file.
If I open "Type/Find font" it list the five fonts I do use in the file. Not including the "default" font, Times, which I imagined a missing font would be converted to. How can I find whatever object has this font problem and delete/change it?

How can I find whatever object has this font problem and delete/change it?
That's hopeless, as in fact there may no longer be any such object. The font may have been used to generate an element which was later converted, but based on what tool/ function was used, the reference to the font was not cleaned up. E.g. if the font was the current active font for a specific text field, it may persist even if the text was reformatted later. Likewise, symbols, charts and other stuff could still contain a link to the font. The best solution you can try, is to run the expand apperance on all elements you don't need editable, then copy everything over to a new blank document. This may clean out the internal data structure and resolve the issue.

Missing Fonts Error Message-Pages 2.0.1

I created a brochure with Pages (2.0.1) - No problems. I reopened the brochure and saw an error message stating that there were "missing fonts." I have one Admin account and one User account. I installed the application under the User account and created the brochure under the User account. I have not moved or added any fonts - Only have fonts that came with the OS and that were installed by Pages. Please help! This is VERY annoying. Can not find help under OS or Pages help topics.

CrushU
I had this problem a while back. Sometimes the package info gets confused and you end up with a font that doesn't exist. It tends to happen when converting files from Word but it can happen within Pages. Selecting all the document and changing the font wont correct it however there is a way to solve this:
Open script editor and enter the following script:
tell application "Pages"
tell front document
set aRef to a reference to (every character of body text whose font name is "ENTER MISSING FONT NAME")
set font name of aRef to "ENTER NEW CHOSEN FONT"
end tell
end tell
Ensure Pages is open and the document is open. Compile the script and run it. Now wait as it takes a while for the script to run and there is no indication it is running. When the script editor is done close the doc and reopen it.
Ensure that you enter the precise name of the font that Pages says is missing and the new one you want to replace it with. If it's misspelt it wont work.
Also this only works on Pages 2, not on Pages 1.

Command is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device

Hi Everyone,
I have developed a midlet in which I have designed buttons or links using Custom Items. Command associated with the custom item is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device 8300 Curve.
For example - My login screen have SUBMIT and RESET custom items. I have designed them to be appear like links [no matter how I design them]. I have also added a command and listener to it like as below:
CMD_SUBMIT = new Command(text, Command.ITEM, 1);
setDefaultCommand(CMD_SUBMIT);
setItemCommandListener(this);
On running the midlet, my login screen appears. But when I travarse to the SUBMIT item, and press the menu button, my command doesnt appear in the list of commands. It shows only the Close command. I am not getting why this is happening.
Please do me a favour and help me to sort out this. On other phones like 8520 curve the command is appearing in to the list when I press the menu button.
Regards

Is there any way to sort out this issue? I am not getting the cause
behind this, and I am observing this only on 8300 Curve. On most of
there phones [though not tested on every one] it is working as expected.
Please guide me to proceed further. I am desperately waiting for the
response. Regards.

Exporting pdf does NOT show my headers and footers

I export number files to my administrators. I've noticed when I print my file directly from my computer in iWork/Numbers it prints and show the footer and header. However, when I send a bcc to myself when I attach the pdf file to my administrator, it does not show or print my headers and footers. Any ideas?

Re-reading the original question, it does appear that Gogoette is exporting to PDF then attaching the file to an email versus using the "Send via email as PDf" operation. In that case, setting it to Page View for the export will solve the problem. I had originally thought "Send via email as PDF" was being used. What I noticed is that it doesn't give you the choice of page versus sheet view but if you first go through the motions of exporting, it sets it up. In prior threads about exporting to PDF, we have all recommended using Print, not export, and choosing Print to PDF (rather than to a printer) as the best way to create a PDF. It gives more flexibility, such as allowing you to choose which pages to "print to PDF".

Insert into viewobject in app module does not show entity validation errors

Hi everybody,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3 and ADF BC/ADF Faces. I want to have a button on one of page and I want that whenever user clicks on this button a records is inserted in a table. so I created an application module service method and exposed it on the client interface and the put it on my page using Data Controls Tab.
Here is some part of my code in application module :
public void setMember() {
HrMembershipsViewImpl membershipView = (HrMembershipsViewImpl)am.findViewObject("HrMembershipsView1");
HrMembershipsViewRowImpl newRow =(HrMembershipsViewRowImpl) membershipView.createRow();
newRow.setAttribute("MemberId",memberID); //this.getCode());
newRow.setAttribute("MembState","1");
newRow.setAttribute("CardState","1");
membershipView.insertRow(newRow);
trans.commit();
When this method tries to insert a record which violates a validation rule in the Base Entity Object, the screen does not show any error regarding to violating the business rule but nothing is inserted. I changed my code and captured the exception around the commit and I found that a JBO-27023 Exception happened after commit ( which was very surprise since the page does not show any error).
Now I can change my code to to the following to show that error happened.
public void setMember() {
try {
trans.commit();
catch (JboException ex) {
getDBTransaction().rollback();
throw new JboException ("There is an error during commit");
throw ex;
But I believe it shouldn't be like this. Normally, we should be able to insert programmatically in a view and if the business rules are violated we should get the violation error messages. If I use the above mentioned method we can not understand what business rules are violated.
Does anybody know what is wrong with my solution? I have seen a lot of times that using application module is the best way for adding functionality to the application pages but I really feel that something should be wrong if we can not get business rule violation messages.
Any help or references would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Navid

Hello Navid,
it should work without try-catch.
1. When you add try-catch, does your error message appear on the page?
2. Does your page contains af:messages component?
3. Does your button have any navigation to another page?

Adobe Reader X is not showing barcode font

Hi there,
I'm generating a pdf with a GS1-128 barcode with IDAutomation fonts.
I noticed that Adobe Reader X does not display this font.
Previous version do!
I attach an example: the font should be visible in the appropriate box present on the second page. http://www.ingmezzina.it/pdf_no_barcode.pdf
Is there any solution to this problem?

I'm having a similar problem, everytime I launch reader or if I try to open a PDF it crashes on my winxp sp3 PC with a visual c++ runtime error and closes. I can't even get to any preferences or anything in time.

Not showing missed calls and dropping calls

I have had a Thunderbolt for several months now and I have had a problem with missed calls not showing up and voice mail showing up with missed calls, I have talked to tech and reported this and I received a refurbished phone and still have the same problem any know issues with this?

Hi bbarront,
I apologize for the delayed response and its unfortunate you are still missing calls with the replacement device. Can you please advise if you have taken advantage of the newest Software Update? Additionally, are you advising that you don't receive a notification of a missed call and the only way you realize it is when you check your voicemail? I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for your involvement in our community forums,
