Export to PDF and font size

Hi,
When I export the report to PDF, the font size is getting reduced. It is because of the legal size I have set in the report. If I set the print size to letter the font size are retained after export to pdf. I am using CR for visual studio 2005. Please help.
Thanks,
Priya

Hi Priya,
Try with this:
Go to the following registry sub key:
HKEY_USERS\[your security profile]\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.2\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Right-click the sub key and click New > DWORD Value. Name the DWORD value "ForceLargerFonts" and set it to the value of 1.
Note :Backup the registry before making any changes.

Exporting to PDf reduces font size of one item only

I am using VS 2010 with the latest CR release. Within my crystal report I have a barcode (using IDAutomationHC39M) with set font size of 10. When I click on the "Export" button and choose PDF, all of the text stays the same except for the barcode which gets reduces to a font size of like 3 or 4 (its really tiny).
I can print it using Adobe PDF and the Barcode will stay the same font size of 10, but I want to avoid that if possible. What do I have to do to make the barcode export with the correct font size?

See if the KB [1218753 - Font size decreases when exporting or scheduling report to Adobe Acrobat (PDF)|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333733353333%7D.do] helps.
You will have to use it as a guide as it does not specifically address CRVS2010, but the patern is eh same...

Export to PDF - Change Font size

Hello everybody,
We were exporting reports to PDF file using te "Export to PDF" option in WAD. We recently have updated the BI environment with the SP17 patch. After the patch, the font size of the reports in the export PDF file has become very small and hence not clear.
Is there a place where we can adjust the font size of the Texts seen in the "Exported PDF reports"?
Please help me with your Knowledge and Experience,
Shameem

Hi Rane,
Thank you for your input. I am aware that we can zoom the document and see the content. However when we print the report, the reports are not as clear as it was before SP17 installation. Thats the problem.

Export to PDF changing font size

Hi,
I have gone through the posts on this topic and was wondering if anyone has a formula to predict what will happen to the text or what looks best in PDF?
I am using Arial 10,11 and 12 on some reports and Times New Roman 8, 9, 10 and 11 on others.
The worst effect is that all reports have a group of text boxes on the top right hand corner which have borders.
The reports are basically text documents so have lots of word wrapped text. In CR these paragraphs are close to the right hand edge in line with the text boxes at the top.
In PDF the right hand edge of the paragraph moves in by 3-4cms. Setting the paragraph to Justify rather than left Justify keeps it at the right, but has lots of white space which looks bad.
regards
ps

Try with this:
To resolve the behavior
Set the resolution of the default printer of the local computer experiencing the issue to 1200 DPI. Most printers have a default setting of 600 DPI.
Create two registry keys to prevent the crxf_pdf.dll from decreasing in font size.
Click Start > Run. Type "regedit". The Registry Editor appears.
Create the following keys for Crystal Reports XI with the defined values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.
Create the following keys for Crystal Reports XI Release 2 with the defined values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal eports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD

Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.
Hope this helps!!

Export to PDF and Paper size

Hi,
I am using Crystal reports 10 and am exporting the report to pdf. I have set PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperLegal in the asp.net code. The exported pdf looks good according to the paper size set but when I print the pdf it is printing in letter size. Please help. I want the pdf to print in the legal size.
Thanks,
Priya

Hi,
Thanks for the response. It still did not resolve the problem. I use vb.net and I used the following code:
Dim oPrinterSettings As System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings
                oPrinterSettings = New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings()
                'oPrinterSettings.PrinterName = ""
                Dim oPaperSize As System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize
                For Each oPaperSize In oPrinterSettings.PaperSizes
                    If oPaperSize.PaperName = "Legal" Then
                        objReportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CType(oPaperSize.RawKind, CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize)
                        Exit For
                    End If
                Next
After this I am actually exporting the report to pdf which then opens in adobe pdf reader. I do not use crystal reports viewer. Adobe print dialog always show the letter size. There is an option in page handling -> Choose paper size by pdf page size in the print dialog in adobe. If I choose that then the preview changes to legal but I am not able to set the paper size to legal programmatically.
Thanks,
Priya

MS Word crash when exporting to PDF, and font style is bold

If i try to convert a doc file to PDF from Microsoft Word using fonts like Times New Roman, everything works fine; by using a font like Myriad Pro, Minion pro, etc. if i use even a single word in BOLD style, with other plain text, during export Word crashes, faulting in module pscript5.dll.
Any information about this problem?
Thanks.

>issue with the latest version of Acrobat and not previous versions?
I certainly don't work for Adobe, so this is only a GENERAL comment, based on many years experience with many different programs from several vendors
When a program goes from 8.0 to 8.1 it is usually bug fixes but no major changes to the actual source code
When a program goes from 7.0 to 8.0 that usually indicates major changes in function AND in the source code to create the program
As an application programmer (used to be COBOL, now in a different job and use MS Access) I know that any program with more than a few hundred lines of source code WILL have problems
When you consider that Acrobat is most likely written in C/C++ and will most likely have MANY thousands of lines of source code... it is not at all surprising that it went from 8.0 to 8.1.0 to 8.1.1
It would not surprise me at all if Acrobat's routines for checking and using fonts had changes in that part of the source code... and IF that happened it MAY be that font handling is either "stricter" and that leads to "catching" a font that is "marginal" in operation... or that the error trapping routine changed and is causing a problem
I personally have no idea if a corrupt font is your problem, but it does not surprise me at all that a 7.0 to 8.0 program change COULD introduce changes in the way fonts are processed

Export to PDF (smallest file size) is giving me a very large file

Hi all,
I got 2 document with around 100 pages (same size), with a picture or two in each page.
I've been using the Export to PDF (smallest file size) and export it.
first file became 5MB, which is fine
second file became 30MB, this is much too much.
I have used the exact same setting for both files and have no idea why the big difference between them.
The only difference between them is that first file contains CMYK photos, and second one - RGB.
Can this be the difference?
Any suggestions?
thanks,
shlomit

That's certainly part of the difference. Additional font information if one of the documents uses more fonts or additional glyphs could be some of it, too. Swatches and styles might also be a factor. Vectors don't compress like bitmaps, either.
Have you opened the optimizer and done a space usage audit to see what is taking up all the space? Did you do a Save AS before export?

Can (CS5) Export to PDF and Compress all Images ?

Using CS5, I have a "Book" with 12 chapters, and a total of about 800 color images. The goal is to export it as one PDF file that will be viewed on screens, not sent to a printer.
When I did export to PDF , the file size was enormous: about 240 MB.
I want this file to be much -- much! -- smaller sized (in terms of MB).
I have all the images at different resolutions -- from 72 dpi to 220 dpi -- and I do not need the higher resolutions.
What is the best way to approach this problem? ...
--Is there a way to set Indesign to compress all the images during the export ?
--Or can Photoshop be used to "batch" compress all the images to 72dpi ?
--Or is there some other method that I can't even imagine.
Thanks very much !
Zorba

Look in the Export to PDF Dialog. In the "Compression" panel, you can set a maximum allowed dpi -- any image with a value above the "above" value will be downsampled to the "to" value.
This only works on bitmap images; if you have placed large vector images, there is no way to automatically decrease their size.

Export for PDF and items disapear from the page...

Hello Big Masters,
please give me a solution to the fact that:
I lose some items (a text box and a graphic) at the export from Indesign to PDF.
-The file is 6 pages long. Simple. Some text and small pictures.
-The missing items are close to the right bottom of the page. It is allways on the same page. In my case on the last page.
-The missing item is exactly the same like some others. (it is like an object I could put on master page, but I wanted only to COPY/ PASTE IN PLACE)
-I tried countless solutions, but no one passed successfully. I tried to ungroup/regroup (it is an object made of letters and outlined letters), I tried to outline all of the object, I tried recopy the object, I tried to put the page in a different order (thinking that the bug always came on the last page), I closed down indesign, I tried different PDF quality options, I tried renaming and overwriting, I checked all the layers (they are all printable). NOTHING worked.
I start worring about the quality of Indesign, that I thought being the perfect software for multipage layouts, but I experienced this bug that wasted me 2 hours. In the researches for solutions I also found out that more problems are ahead in big ePubs or when you bring old big files, with Masterpages, it seems that is a real mess what comes out.
Do you experience these troubles with Bermuda-effect in Indesign (dissapearing items surprisingly unexpected...)???

The answer for you is YES.
But Still didn't get the bug solved.
The first pic as you see, is from ID before I export to PDF
and the last image is the crazy pdf file, I am getting.
If the adobe guys need my file for investigation, I can send it to them somehow.
But then again, I got a compromise solution by putting the "missing" object on a separate masterpage.

Change font and font size in a textedit

Hi,
I am using a textedit UI element in read only mode. its getting the value from context attribute. I need to change font and font size ( atleast the later) and make it bold.
how can this be done ?
plz help......
Thanks
Akash

Hi Thomas,
I saw from your response in the post above that you might be able to answer a question I have about the portal theme.
We are using several textedit elements in our portal, however the font size of text entered in those textedit fields is smaller than the standard global text in the portal. I have tried in vain to find the setting in the portal theme that controls textedit elements. Do you happen to know which one it is exactly?
Many thanks for any suggestions/help you might have
Paul.

Export to PDF and Spot Color Reg Marks

This sounds like a simple problem but I have not been able to find a way to do this. When I create a document in ID with 2 spot colors and then export to a pdf and add registration marks (or crop marks) at this stage, the reg marks are created as the spot colors in the document AND Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. I am outputting to a RIP to generate printing plates. This is a problem because I will get six plates (four with only reg marks) rather than just the two I need. Is there a way to add the reg marks in the export stage so that they are created as only the colors that are present in the document?

Add a slug around your document (File>Document Setup>Show Options)
If your bleed is 3 mm and you want to add 5 mm crop marks, set the slug to be 8 mm all around
On the master page make a line at .25 pt and place this outside the bleed area and touching the slug line
Do this for all master pages.
Set the stroke colour to registration.
Export to PDF and choose to include bleed and slug.
Don't turn on crop marks.
