Exporting various languages to PDF

1. I've been reading some of the posts about the lack of font embedding support and not being able to support all languages exporting into PDF. Is this still the case? This is a huge problem, especially the lack of Simplified Chinese. Is there any sort of work around other than specifically setting the font in the report templates? When can we expect this support to be included in the product?
2. Exporting with RTF to Office 2007 - I'm having some problems printing from the rtf document, we get a "The margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page" I don't remember this happening before Office 2007. Is this strictly dependent on what the print margins can handle, because to the eye it looks fine. This can be fixed by manually setting the zoom scaling to 'fit to page', but it has to be done every time it's printed, because the exported rtf does not pickup the default setting for this, and it also does not allow manually adjusting the margins.
Thanks,
Cameron

Hello Cameron,
1. The CR4E Version 1 indexes fonts in PDF export, so you're restricted to the ANSI + Adobe Asia Language pack (CJK) fonts only. The new CR4E Version 2 due out soon will subset (embed) fonts in PDF export, so the restriction is removed.
2. The Crystal engine uses Printer driver information to format reports, including the "printable region". The "printable region" is printer and printer driver specific - most printers cannot print to the edge of the sheet, so there's a defined margin beyond which printing is restricted.
There exception you're getting is indicating that there's printable objects extending beyond this margin, and that's why you're getting the error.
Does manually adjusting the page margins of the report inwards resolve the issue?
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Adobe 8.1.2 opens pdf file in various languages

My HP Pavilion dv6000 running Vista Home Preimun with a HP Photosmart C5100 printer. Adobe Reader 8.1.2 opens pdf files in various languages. These files were sent in English and I can forward to others who use Microsoft XP and they do not have any problems opening these files. I have installed and uninstalled Adobe 8.1.2 (3) times with no change. I have confirmed that Word is the HTML eiditor preference. My fire wall and virus scans don't indicate any problems. What should I look at next? Is this an Adobe software issue?

And it doesn't even work well with forms. Only allows the first page of a form to be filled out.
I reported the problem as a bug, and the designer say its an apple problem. Its not. where area set up to be filled out on pages other than first page, there is an indication it is a fill-out area (Grayed out when clicked on) it does not allow for forms to be filled out. So its not worth the effort to even test.

Converting Smartform in Crycllic languages into PDF format

Hi All,
I have a smart form that needs to be converted into PDF and sent by mail as an attachment.
I have a problem with Cyrillic Languages (Bulgarian).
When i use FM convert OTF to PDF its giving some garbage characters insteading of printing cyrillic letters.
The output is correct when I see the print preview of the smartform.
Please can anyone suggest me in this regard.
I appreciate any help.

Before doing the conversion OTF -> PDF you should provide proper printing device . Only then you can assure the correctness of conversion to different lanuguages.

Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF.

Namaste InDesign gurus,
I have a problem at hand. Wondering if anyone has encoutered similar problem before? Any help is greatly appreciated. And if you're in San Francisco bay area - I can buy you a lunch :-)
Short description: Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF. All the ligatures are assembled and displayed in the PDF.
Adobe Indesign Version: InDesign CS5 Design Premium - regular U.S. version (not ME).
Steps I took:
I purchased CS5 Design Premium and also purchased the IndicPlus plugin to author sanskrit documents in InDesign. I create Sanskrit text using either of the following methods.
1) Itranslator
2) Paste the devanagari from the Itranslator directly into InDesign or paste it first into MSWord and then copy from MSWord and paste it to Indesign.
It doesn't matter how I paste it. After I apply the IndicPlus character/paragraph style so that the sanskrit looks good in InDesign, when I try to export it to a PDF. The PDF does not display the ligatures currectly. It just lists all the characters in order without assembling.
I've spent a lot of money buying CS5, IndicPlus and then I can't even create a simple PDF document from InDesign. It is very frustrating.
Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
(Please let me know if my problem description needs more fleshing out).
I could create the PDF from MSWord directly but I'm trying to use indesign to layout my book. If InDesign cannot export to PDF I'll just have to use MSWord for my book layout. I've spend probably scores of hours trying to learn InDeisn and formatting my book content - seems like it is all going to be waste.
Is MSWord the best choice or only choice for laying out books that have sanskrit text in them?
-Ravi

Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
Not Sanskrit, no, but plenty of Hindi, Nepali, Marathi, and other languages written in Devanagari script - so it should be possible. I don't even use IndicPlus, which by most accounts makes working with Indic text much easier.
1) Itranslator
I've never seen this, but a quick Google led me to the homepage of ITranslator for Windows, where I saw this:
Itranslator 99 (Build 1.3.0.86) & New Beta Version
uses 8-bit true type fonts and is compatible
with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
For more information, click here.
Itranslator 2003 (Build 2.0.0.38) & New Beta Version
uses 16-bit Unicode-compatible fonts and is working
only on Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003.
For more information, click here.
So, if you're using ITranslator 99, there's the problem - those "8-bit true type fonts" won't work in InDesign. Can you post a sample of the text you're trying to paste into InDesign? Name the font(s) you are using, both in Word and in Indesign, and if possible make a small sample of the text available for us to test. It's also possible that InDesign is using a substituted font, which could cause this problem. So, if the font name in InDesign has brackets around it, you know that InDesign doesn't actually have that font installed and is auto-substituting. Also, if you go to View -> Screen Mode -> Normal and the text is highlighted pink, you know that the font has dropped. (Unless the highlighting for dropped fonts was turned off - check in Edit -> Preferences -> Composition and make sure that "Substituted Fonts" is checked.
Also, for what it's worth, is there any way you could Place your text instead of copying and pasting? This may be cause of your problem - but even though it probably isn't, it's still worth a try.
Lastly - no, I've found InDesign to be superior for typesetting for almost all languages, but the learning curve is pretty steep, and many of the problems faced by people working in non-English languages are not easy to research when you have a problem.

!! Exporting SWF file in PDF reduces image quality.

Hello,
I have a file with many multi-state picture frames and buttons for them. I export it in pieces in SWF format, then I put the SWF's back in the document as a new layer and export as interactive PDF. Finally everything worked fine, except that PDF opens in a larger then normal zoom and when zooming in on pictures the quality is very poor I am guessing 72ppi at the intended zoom. I check the SWF file and see that its image quality is good when zoomed, so the problem is with the way the PDF has exported the SWF.
notes: I made sure the settings were to export at 300ppi and high image quality. When I take a single multi-state frame with its associated button and export to SWF then PDF the image quality is maintained.... however I have over 150 image frames, so I rather not export them individually. Please, please reply... any suggestions will be gratefully excepted.

edit your image in photoshop and experiment with various settings/size. there's no magic high quality small file size setting.
it's a trade-off. the higher the quality and the greater the image dimensions, the greater the file size. you have to decide where those are acceptable.

Format changing when exporting from InDesign to PDF

I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?

I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

Crystal Reports 10 Enterprise Server Issue - Exporting Large Reports to PDF

Weu2019re implementing a Crystal Reports 10 Server for a customer but weu2019re having an issue with exporting large reports to PDF. The report size that starts to show this issue is roughly 300 pages with 20 records per page. We use the default Crystal ActiveX viewer.
Basically what happens is that the user will launch the report in the ActiveX viewer and the large report will take a while to load, as much as 3 to 4 minutes. The user may then wish to export to PDF. Once they attempt it with these large reports the viewer will basically hang and possibly be processing but will then time-out after roughly 5 minutes with this error:
u201CProxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /thinqreports/THINQCrystalInterface.asp.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
IBM_HTTP_Server/6.1.0.9 Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) Server at lmsproxy.aurora.org Port 443u201D
We believe this error is coming from a server on our network. We have a proxy server between users and the Crystal Server that has a 5 minute time-out for connections. What we want to know is:
- Is there a way to speed up this export to PDF process?
- Should the Crystal Viewer be keeping an http connection alive to the Crystal Report Server while its doing this export process?
- If not, what port does Crystal Viewer use to communicate with the Crystal Report Server?
- Is there something we can set in Crystal to keep an http connection open?
- What is actually occurring during this export process?
Occasionally, we may get the above error when simply launching a report, not just attempting to export to PDF. We presume that is because loading the report into the Crystal Viewer from the Crystal Report Server is taking longer than 5 min.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
Scott

Scott,
As this is happening within Enteprise (and I am assuming the report does not time out in the Crystal Reports Designer) I would suggest posting this to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration
forum.
My limited Enterprise knowledge would be to suggest scheduling the report as PDF but I don't know if that is a viable option for you.

No link after exporting Crystal report as pdf file

Hello,
          If my Crystal Report contain link to the .avi file saved on the local hard disk and if I export the Report as .pdf file, pdf file does not contain that link. Why?
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this object, it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Taken from CR Help File:
"PDF format is a page-based format. The exported documents are intended for printing and redistribution. PDF format will export both layout and formatting in a manner that is consistent with how the report looks on the Preview tab. PDF format embeds the TrueType fonts that appear in the document. (Non-TrueType fonts are not supported.) This export format does not support Microsoft font-linking technologyu2014which is used to provide support for some extended character sets such as Chinese HKCS. Therefore, the fonts used in the report must contain all of the required glyphs. These URI types are supported for hyperlinks: "http:", "https:" and "mailto:".
Therefore your hyperlink is not working as u are using File type when cr only supports http https and mailto uri types

Problem to export a report (to PDF) after converting my reports to CR13

I have an old project with reports developped using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2003 (.NET 1.1). I want to convert them so I can now use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (with .NET 3.5).
I installed Crystal Reports for VS2010 and I converted my reports to the new format. Unfortunately, one of my reports is not working anymore.
My ASP.NET application generate the report and export it as a PDF. I use CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export().
Everytime I run this method, an exception is thrown...
System.Exception was unhandled by user code

StackTrace:
I also tried to export the report (using PDF format) at design time with the "Export Report" button in Preview mode. It didn't work. But, I can export the report at design time using another format type (like XML).
The old version of te report (using .NET 1.1, CR9) work fine. As I said, other reports in that same project work perfectly.
Is someone have an idea of what's wrong!
Thanks!
Max.

The most common cause of this problem is having very large detailed images, or lots and lots of images in your report. The Crystal Report engine changed a lot from 9.1 to 13. The big change was from 9.1 to 10 though when we started using the RAS InProc engine.
The Crystal reporting engine is not efficient at handling the images and it can cause memory issues like you are seeing. As a test, try suppressing the images that show up frequently in your report and retry your export. If it works you'll have your answer and you'll need a new creative way to design your report without so many images.

Some additional unexpected characters are also getting inserted.
But the same content is proper if we export the report into .rtf or .doc format.

Error occurred during exporting ssrs report as pdf

an error occurred during local report processing. Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Thanks in advance

Hi Esha2nk,
According to your description, when you export the report to PDF in BIDS, the error “Export error: An error occurred during local report processing. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” is thrown out.
Based on the error message, it could cause by that there are hidden groups within the report, or the matrix has multiple columns and rows, and Hidden is set to true in the Visibility properties. So in your scenario, please check those two factors. If
issue persists, please provide report design for our analysis. Besides, would you please tell us which SQL Server version you are using?
Reference:
"An error occurred during
local reporting processing. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

many thank's

Hi Ludek
Thank you for your response. I have installed SP3 and ProcMon and still the same result.
I applied a filter on ProcMon to filter out items where the path contains 'export'.
There are a few items where the result is 'NAME NOT FOUND' but I don't think it necessarly had anything to do with the barcode. These include items such as 'EXPORT\MailDestType','EXPORT\DisableExportLiveOfficeSupport'','EXPORT\ExportDirectory' to name a few.
What drew my attention was the ACCESS DENIED result on specifically the EXPORT\PDF folders. The detail for these are Desired Access : All access, however the very same entry appears a little futher on as a SUCCESS but this is detailed as Desired Access: Query Value.
So in summary it looks something like this:
User : Server\XXX
Operation : RegOpenKey
Path : HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Result : ACCESS DENIED
Desired Access : All Access
User : Server\XXX
Operation : RegOpenKey
Path : HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Result : SUCCESS
Desired Access : Query Value
There are a few other entries that follow this pattern that exists in other locations such as HKLM\Software...
Could this 'ACCESS DENIED' be the problem? and If so how do I, and should I give user XXX this ALL Access its looking for.
Regards
Elroy

How can I export a smallformat flatten PDF-file with transparant parts in?

My post on a PDF - more clear with images (english):
http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf
Deze post in nederlandstalige versie:
http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-nl.pdf
Scope?
I'dd like to export an Indesign-file (.indd) to a PDF-file that has to be:
- the smallest possible file size
- which displays images and text sharp on the screen
- which also certainly remain transparent parts of .psd-files after exporting
- that is flattened for easy print
The problem?
▪ How and with which of settings can I export such a file from InDesign 5.0?
▪ If necessary in combination with some settings (after exporting) in our Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
Further explanation
The export file contains lots of text, graphics, photographs and drawings. Many of these items are .psd-files that contain transparent areas. The intention is that this transparent parts actually remain transparent even after exporting/flattening /decreasing the PDF.
▪ With InDesign 5.0?
→ In the window Export Adobe PDF: (images see: http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf )
Should I start from a default PDF preset   (if yes > which one??)
Possibilities are: High Quality Print / PDFX-1a: 2001 / PDFX-3:2002 / PDFX-4:2007 / Press Quality / Smallest File Size
Or is it better to create a PDF preset on my own?     (if yes > which settings??)
Standard > PDF/X-format?
Compatibility > PDF-version?
Compression > If artwork should be compressed and downsampled, and if so,
                        which method and settings to I have to use ?
Ouput > How can I control colors and PDF/X output intent profiles in the PDF-file?
Advanced > How can I control fonts, OPI specifications, transparency flattening, and JDF instructions are
                  in the PDF file?
▪ With Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
→ How can I reduce the file size extra, so more reducing after exporting into PDF ?
→ How can I flatten the exported file (if not done during the export) ?
!! Important, when I export/reduce/flatten the file, I ‘dd like that the parts of images who were transparent before, stays also transparent after !!
WHAT CAN I DO ??

Hello,
I'm sorry you're having trouble. Unfortunately, this forum is for the ExportPDF service of Acrobat.com. The ExportPDF service functions as a PDF to *.docx file convertion and we can't help with problems specific to the desktop version of Acrobat or InDesign. I'm happy to point you in the right direction.
