Export to PDF Font Size

Hi, I have designed a legal document for a customer, in the crystal report viewer and when printed the document looks fine. If a user exports the document to PDF there is a reduction in font size. I have seen where this is an issue in other versions of CR and there are registry key fixes for them, but I have v. 10.5 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 (using c#).
The other option i have found was to increase the font size before an export, I do not believe that this is a viable option, as the document is quite complex.
If anyone might have any suggestions on a workaround, or a fix that I might have missed, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
JT

I think the problem I had was similar, I would try the registry settings that you found and jsut change the version numbers to be 10.5 to match your product. I found this to solve my problem. I had to update my numbers to be 12.
I used http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap%28bd1lbizjptawmq==%29/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233323330333533313336%7D.do not sure if it will work for 10.5

Export "Adobe PDF Page Size" ?

Hello:
Is there a way to export custom Adobe PDF Page Sizes from computer to computer? We have a series of custom page sizes for Architectural sheets and currently we have to enter them manually for each computer in the office.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Seeing 750k described as a huge PDF is amusing when I often need to send files for print that are 750 mb or more.
That aside, exported PDF nearly always is larger than distilled PDF because it can include a lot more information like transparency and color management intents. The warning about fonts just means that the preset is set to not embed fonts during distilling to reduce file size (so the viewer must have the fonts on the system for viewing or printing properly), and ID always embeds fonts during export unless they are restricted, so not embedding your fonts will be ignored. You can unembed them using the optimizer.
So why is a 750k PDF too large? Perhaps there's a better format all around for what you are doing.

Can I change PDF font size in ibook

I downloaded a PDF file into ibooks but the font is too small. I don't want to zoom in because then I have to move the file left to right right to left. I would like to change the font size and the document should repaginate itself. Is that possible? otherwise how can you read a full pdf page in the iphone screen?

Generally, one of the reasons people use PDF is because it doesn't repaginate. So complex, graphic-heavy layouts stay how they were designed.
So if the PDF file doesn't offer the same "aA" icon that an ePub file does, I don't think you can upsize the text. (I don't have any PDF files in iBooks at present to really test this, but Apple's KB here says users cannot change font size with PDF: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4168 ).
Look for a text or ePub version of the PDF, or Tip #5 here suggests you might be able to convert it yourself:

otherwise how can you read a full pdf page in the iphone screen?

Exporting to PDF - file size too big

Hello! Hope you are all well
I have a Price Guide that i have converted from Quark to InDesign. When the price guide was exported as a PDF at smallest file size possible in Quark, i could get it down to 5mb. At smallest file size (and modified to be even lesser quality images) in InDesign, i can't get it below 8.7mb. We need it to be below 5mb to send via email. The images it is linking to are exactly the same as the images the Quark file was linking to, but just to make absolutely sure i could get the smallest size possible, i went into photoshop and made every image that was over 10mb smaller.
I wouldn't mind telling my boss it can't be done - but we know it can be in Quark....so i don't see why not in InDesign.
Any ideas anyone?
I'm on a Mac, OSX 10.5.8, InDesign CS3.

linziloop,
I've run into the same problem. Some of my clients insist on the smallest possible PDFs, regardless of (poor) image quality. I've been able to reduce the PDF sizes dramatically by printing to PS and then distilling the PS file (someone else mentioned that this was the Quark method).
Don't know why it works, since I use the same settings (compression, etc.) as I use when printing directly to PDF or exporting to PDF. But it works for me.

Export to pdf fonts in acrobat on windows

I am all excited to create a newsletter for a club I belong to. I decided to use Pages on my new macbook air. I've spent about 10 hours or so creating my newsletter and I decided to test it out. So I exported it as a pdf and emailed it to myself to open on my windows 7 pc. Lo and behold the fonts are all squished up and crooked.
This seems like a major flaw. I expect anything that I export to pdf to render exactly the same on any other computer. Apparently this is not the case.
I know that when I use Word and export to a PDF it renders the same on any Mac or PC. However, Pages does not.
Does anyone have a work around or know any way to fix this?
I'm just using one of the standard Pages templates, nothing fancy.

Like other apps delivered by Apple, Pages is supposed to embed the fonts in the PDF which it deliver.
If it doesn't we can't change the behavior.
In such case it's important to send a feedback to Apple thru the dedicated channel :
Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu , describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait at least for iWork'11 or 12 ;-)
I guess that they killed the process during one of the six updates delivered since january 2009.

When exporting to PDF fonts are replaced

I have had this happen several times when exporting to PDF from CS6 with no font errors, all the fonts have been changed in the PDF to another font. Not the default either, but just a different font altogether.
Has anyone heard of this or experienced this?

It is pretty easy to determine the fonts are wrong by visual inspection followed by the text edit tool in Acrobat X to confirm what font it is. The original fonts on this particular file were Gotham and they were replaced by Helvetica and our default missing font is Courier. I have found numerous threads with the same or similar problem dating back to September 2014 where they were blaming Indesign CC for the problem, with another person replying they had the same issue with CS6. Some of the advice given to them was to load the fonts locally rather than across a network to a server. The problem is not repeatable that is to say when you notice the issue with your PDF you open the file and export it again and the fonts are now correct with no changes to the file or the way you loaded the fonts. What is alarming is this is intermittent with no font warning while exporting or any further font warnings if the PDF is Normalized through Kodak Prinergy. It is like the postscript code is being written with a replacement font.
I have enclosed the thread I found and we are going to load fonts locally to see if this helps, if you have any other advice it would be greatly appreciated.

IPad export to PDF font problems

Hi guys, would really appreciate any help you can provide on the following:
So I can happily create wonderful documents on pages or keynote. The issue is when I export then to PDF which is by far, what I think is the best option as it seems to retain the layout and picture options etc, it. Seems that when I email this to people who don't have mac's the fonts on the PDF cannot be viewed.
It seems that basic fonts are ok like arial, but anything that is somewhat interesting like apple gothic or even helvetica cannot be displayed.
Does anyone have a solution to this, ie. Is there somewhere I could direct people to go to download apple fonts, or worse case is there anyway I can print from my pc, retaining the font.
Many thanks for any replies....

Unfortunately, the feedback link is next-of-kin to useless. Getting no response from them, and not knowing how many others have similar complaints is just pi**ing in the wind. If I am going to go to all the trouble to analyze a problem in detail and document the parameters, I am not going to just "throw it over the fence" and hope for the best.
To that end, I just got off the phone with Apple Support. They are aware of the problem and have a team working on it.
After discussing the issue at length, it seems that the best work-around is to use the iwork.com sharing gimmick. View the files from a browser and print (if needed) from the browser.
You cannot use the "download as PDF" from iwork.com, because it generates corrupted PDFs, just like iPad does.
It is also possible to be VERY selective about the fonts that are used when creating a document from scratch, but there is no easy way to know which fonts will work and which ones generate embedding errors.
In my experience, most of the new document templates will NOT work.
Anyway, the upshot is that there will be an update to the iPad Apps that will fix the problem. They do not know when that will be.
It is suggested that the more complaints that they get about the issue, the faster it will be fixed. It is POSSIBLE that the feedback link may do something in this regard.
If this issue is important to you, I would suggest taking the time to visit
http://www.apple.com/support/expert/
and talk to a real, live, human being about the problem.

Font Size is not correct in the exported PDF-File

In the Report is the Font Arial Size 8, but in the exported PDF-Fildethe size is only 7,15. The Fontsize in the PDF-File is always smaller then in the Report.
I use Crystal Report XI. With Version 9 is everythink ok.

In Crystal Reports 10 and 11, exported fonts are shrunk by 5% to avoid field truncation.
For version 11, create the following registry entry and then set the value to 1 to maintain the font size:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Please back-up your registry before editing.

CR XI R2 pdf export font size issue

Exporting a report to PDF using Crystal XI R2 seems to be reducing the size of the fonts. When printing directly from CR and exporting to PDF and printing from the PDF viewer the font sizes are smaller. Any ideas on what I can do to correct the problem?

Please refer following SAP note:
Business Objects Notes Get Help | Close
   1220516 - Font size decreases when report is exported to PDF from Crystal Reports XI or Crystal Reports XI Release 2
Language   English     Version   1     Validity: 07.05.2008 - active
Edit Print View Show change log Show Internal Memos
Content:    Summary   |   Header Data   |   Other Properties
Symptom
In Crystal Reports XI and Crystal Reports XI Release 2 the font shrinks by approximately 10% when a report is exported to Adobe Acrobat Format (PDF).
Cause
This behavior is due to the way Windows and UNIX, and therefore Crystal Reports, handles low point size fonts on a low-resolution screen. Text layout in the absence of a printer driver will consistently be rendered differently than in PDF.
Crystal Reports currently shrinks the font by 10% to prevent any truncation this difference may cause.
Resolution
CAUTION The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
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
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.
In UNIX, an X server client such as x-win32 must be installed. Add the keys as follows:
Launch the X server client.
Source <bobje install>/bobje/setup using env.sh (for example: ./env.sh).
Create the registry keys as detailed above.
Restart the Report Page and Cache Servers.
====================
NOTES:
If using Windows 2003 Server, upgrade to Acrobat Reader version 8.0 or higher as well as creating the above registry keys.
Use the appropriate path to access the UNIX regedit as follows:
AIX: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/aix_rs6000/crpe/mw/bin-aix4_optimized/regedit
Sun Solaris: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/crpe/mw/bin-sunos5_optimized/regedit
Linux: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/crpe/mw/bin-linux_optimized/regedit

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?

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.

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 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

Export to PDF - margins and font size

Post Author: LisaConsult
CA Forum: Exporting
Using Crystal XI I programmatically perform an export to PDF. The PDF appears to have larger margins around the document and a smaller font size of text when compared to printing the same report to the printer or PDF distiller. The application is distributed to client workstations. Is there anything that can be done to resolve the issue? Thanks

Post Author: V361
CA Forum: Exporting
You may need to check the Font's. Even though you may be sending ( and I am just making this up ) Times New Roman 12, the PDF may be using Times New Roman 10.
Anyway, the export to PDF does not support all the fonts that you can use in CR.... Or at least it does not appear to.
