Font embed and PDF optimizer question

using Quark 7, Acrobat 8 professional, non-intel mac OS10.4.11. According to the quark dialog, the fonts are imbedded. When I look in PDF optimizer, the fonts don't show up. Does this mean they were never imbedded? Also, when I save a file as PDF optimized I get a zero kb figure in the finder panel. Is this correct?
Thanks

Although you may have embedding turned on, Doesn't necessarily mean That fonts are embedded. Only fonts that allowed to be embedded, are those from Adobe, plus other font houses that have agreements with Adobe to allo it. If your trying to embed MicroSoft Fonts. Forget it it They share nothing with anyone. And The chace of it happening are about like the old say saying The chances of it happening are *Slim* and *None* *and Slim just left town*.
Also if you receive a PDF form someone else. They may have run through Optimizer to reduce the size and removed all instances of Embedded font.
If you use common fonts between windows and Apple say for example Ariel There should only be subtle differences in the look of the PDF if you have use system fonts turned on.

  • Error: PDF Embbed and PDF Subset

    Hi,
    i'm trying to print a PDF report in my web browser using the new PDF Subset feature of Reports Server 9i to subset a barcode font but i'm having the following problem:
    When the PDF is being generated, Adobe Acrobat 5 is showing the error (110) - Problem reading the document.
    My O.S is Red Hat Linux 7.3 and the Oracle 9ias R2 is installed with the patches p2703110 (9.0.2.2 Core Patchset) and p2842923.
    I'm tryng to view the report in a Windows 2000 machine and on the same Linux machine.
    Note that PDF Embbed works just fine, but ONLY on the first try. When I try to refresh the report on the browser, Reports Server shows the PDF Font Embbed Error.
    Does Anybody knows what is happening??
    Is this some kind of bug??

  • Converting from PDF directly to Java Objects/XML (and PDF format questions)

    Hi,
    I posted this originally in the Acrobat Windows forums but was told I might have more luck here, so here goes:
    I am desperately trying to find a tool (preferably open source but commercial is fine also) that will sit on top of a PDF and allow me to query it's text for content and formatting (I don't care about images). I have found some tools that get me part of the way there, but nothing that seems to provide an end-to-end solution but is quite lightweight. My main question is WHY are there so many tools that go from PDF to RTF, and many tools that go from RTF to XML, but NONE that I can find that go PDF to XML.
    To clarify, by formatting I simply mean whether a line/block of text is bold/italic, and its font size. I am not concerned with exact position on the page. The background is that I will be searching PDFs and assigning importance to whether text is a heading/bodytext etc. We already have a search tool in place so implementing a pure PDF search engine is not an option. I need a lightweight tool that simply allows me to either make calls directly to the PDF OR converts to XML which I can parse.
    Some tools I have tried:
    1) PDFBox (Java Library) - Allows the extraction of text content easily, but doesn't seem to have good support for formatting.
    2) JPedal (Java Library) - Allows extraction of text content easily, and supports formatting IF XML structured data is in the PDF (not the case for my data).
    3)  Nitro PDF (Tool) + RTF to XML (script) - This works quite nicely and shows that PDF to XML is possible, but why do I have to use 2 tools? Also, these are not libraries I can integrate into my app.
    4) iText (Java Library) - Seems great at creating PDFs but poor at extracting content.
    I don't really expect someone to give me a perfect solution (although that would be nice!).
    Instead, what I'd like to know is WHY tools support PDF to RTF/Word/whatever retaining formatting, and other tools support RTF to XML with the formatting information retained. What is it about PDF and RTF/Word that makes it feasible to convert that way, but not to XML. Also, as I found in 3) above, it is perfectly feasible to end up as XML from PDF, so why do no tools support this reliably!
    Many thanks for any advice from PDF gurus.

    XML doesn't mean anything - it's just a generic concept for structuring
    information.  You need a specific GRAMMAR of XML to mean anything.  So what
    grammar would you use?  Something standard?  Make up your own?
    However, there are a number of commercial and open source products that can
    convert PDF to various XML grammars - SVG, ABW, and various custom grammars.
    But the other thing you need to understand is that most PDF files do not
    have any structure associated with them (as you saw when using JPEDAL).  As
    such, any concepts of paragraphs/sections/tables/etc. Are WILD GUESSES by
    the software in question.

  • Problem: Bar Codes Font Embed in PDF Report

    Hi folks.
    I'm having a few problems with Reports 9i.
    Fact: Oracle 9iAS Release 2 with Red Hat Linux 7.3
    I'm trying to print a PDF report that uses a Type 1 Barcode Font (X317349A) using the new PDF EMBED feature of Reports Server 9i.
    Following the doc:210318.1 of Metalink i did the following things:
    - Put the X317349A.afm, X317349A.pfa and X317349A.pfb in the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo
    - Put the myreport.rdf in the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo.
    - Put the the following line in section [ PDF:Embed ] of uifont.ali file:
    X317349A = "X317349A.afm X317349A.pfa"
    This fonts works with a sequence of "w" and "n" to form the bar code, and acrobat reader is showing just w and n sequence instead of the bar codes.
    Does anybody have a suggestion of what else can i do??
    Thank you all.

    Hello,
    First, generate an output with DESFORMAT=HTML and check the font name used in the output.
    Then, check that the file QUICASB_.TTF exists in a directory of REPORTS_PATH (take care to the case sensitivity on UNIX)
    Check that the file uifont.ali is ok (use the utilty mfontchk)
    Check the "precedence" in the file uifont.ali
    See the comment in the file uifont.ali itself :

  • Report fonts mapping and PDF output problem(Easten European languages)

    Hi experts,
    I have such a problem.
    If i run oracle reports(10g) via reports builder all layouts looks fine.
    When i run them in PDF format via application server - report text and numbers strech out off frames, also textfields and text itself becomes bigger in size.
    Aplication server runs over windows OS.
    Uifont.ali file looks:
    [ PDF:Subset ]
    Arial..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
    Arial...Bold.. = "Arialbd.ttf"
    Arial..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
    Arial..Plain... = "Arial.ttf"
    Arial..... = "Arial.ttf"
    "Times New Roman"...Bold.. = "TIMESBD.TTF"
    "Times New Roman"..Italic... = "TIMESI.TTF"
    "Times New Roman"..... = "TIMES.TTF"
    I think the problem is with Lithuanian(baltic) letters in the text. If i do not map fonts in uifont.ali file i get PDF report without the
    lithuanian alphabet letters, but in this case it looks fine(The same as in report builder)
    After fonts mapping, i get my lithuanian alphabet letters, but text and numbers strech out off frames, changes the size and etc.
    I put the example of my report uotput:

    What else can i do to solve this problem?

  • PhotoShop CS2 and PDF Presets question.

    Hello,
    I have installed the recent free release of Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my Win 8.1 PC.
    I am creating the artwork for a CD Cover, by using a CYMK template from CD-Baby.
    They require that the finished artwork be submitted to them in PDF format, using the [PDF/X-4:2008] preset.
    I found that Photoshop CS2 didn't come with this preset, but after searching the web, I came across this forum whereby a user posted a link to a "JobOptions" archive file at...
         http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16243351/joboptions.rar
    ... I downloaded this RAR file and found that there was a file inside called "x4;2008.joboptions"
    I installed this preset by the 'EDIT/Adobe PDF Presets/' route, and it seemed to successfully install the preset.
    (No errors at least).
    Now when I go to save my finished project as PDF, I am given the choice of...
    * [PDF/X-1a:2001]
    * [PDF/X-3:2002]
    * x4;2008
    (this is the exact description of each preset).
    My only question is, do you think the desired [PDF/X-4:2008] was correctly installed?,
    I'm not sure since the naming format is not exactly the same as the first 2 presets descriptions.
    Thank you.

    thanks for your reply  Mylenium.
    is it possible that this user preset might not exactly conform to the desired preset I'm after?
    is there any way I can get a genuine copy of the factory preset [PDF/X-4:2008]?
    thanks.

  • Arabric Font embed, and TLF use problem.

    Hi all,
    I meet a problem with embed the Arabric Font.
       [Embed(source="fonts/axtyoumn.TTF",fontFamily="AxtYoumna",embedAsCFF="true" ,unicodeRange="U+0000-U+1000")]

       public function fonts()
         Font.registerFont(AxtYoumna);
         Font.registerFont(AxtSImplifed);        
    It succeed published into a .swf file. I load this file use
    Font.enumerateFonts(false);
    It shows the font I have embed, it seems embed succeed:
    FontsName::: AxtYoumna ||||| FontsType::: embeddedCFF
    FontsName::: AxtSImplifed ||||| FontsType::: embeddedCFF
    Then I use AxtYoumna, AxtSImplifed for my textfield
       charFormat.fontFamily = ffont;
       charFormat.fontSize = fsize;
       charFormat.kerning = Kerning.ON;
       charFormat.fontWeight = fbold ? "bold" : "normal";
       //charFormat.fontWeight = "bold";
       charFormat.fontLookup = flash.text.engine.FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
       charFormat.renderingMode = flash.text.engine.RenderingMode.CFF;
       charFormat.cffHinting = flash.text.engine.CFFHinting.NONE;
    The Text still not render correctly. 
    My builder is FLex 3, flash player 10, and Flex SDK 4.0.0.10485
    But if I use the font Arial/Arabic Transparent/Traditional Arabric, it works.
    I use AXtYOumna/AXtadvertising/AXtSImplified Light /AXtGihaneLightItalic /AXtYouSra/AXTTraditionalLight , it not works.
    I can use these font in Photoshop CS4 middleeast version to show arabic succeefully.
    Please help me.!

    I suppose that "The Text still not render correctly.  " means in particular that you don't the proper shaping (positional forms).
    If that's the case, I think it is explained by the fact that AXtYOumna does not have the necessary OpenType layout tables. TLF/FTE need those table to select the proper positional shapes. Those tables are present in Arial/Arabic Transparent/Traditional Arabric.

  • How to embed font into generated PDF?

    Hi,
    I have an issue with cyrillic fonts in PDF-file, generated from smartform using the following mechanism:
    1. Run FM for smartform with ==> getotf = 'X'
    2. Perform CONVERT_OTF retrieving result into a XSTRING.
    3. Converting xstring content into a table using "cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix).
    4. Creating mail to an external internet user with attached pdf ==> using "cl_document_bcs=>create_document..."
    Smartform contains cyrillic content, based on HELVCYR (Helvetica cyrillic) font. Application server is based on Windows.
    Everything worked well (for months!) for allmost all of the clients of our customer. Of course, some of clients have different OS-es (such as Linux, Mac OS, etc.), and then the problem starts - they doens't view properly the cyrillic content. English content (even numbers, etc.) are properly displayed. We found what fonts are used in the PDF, but my questions are:
    1. Is it possible to embed the font into generated PDF-content?
    2. If no, is it possible to generate PDF-content non-selectable (i.e. in some image mode) ?
    If yes, how to do this?
    Or is there any other way to workarround this issue - to be able to display mail with attached PDF-content with cyrillic on different OS-es? It would be better if it is possible without calling external converter...
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ivaylo Mutafchiev

    Hello Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
                                           There is no way we can control the fonts in the created PDF / while creating the PDF using the class cl_document_bcs in your PDF creation logic.
    You can try some other approach of creating PDF from the Smartforms OTF stream data .
    Try using the follosing FM for the PDF creation and sending email:
    CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF
    CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL
    SO_OBJECT_SEND
    CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL_NEW (Try this but this FM still uses  the class that you are using currently. But give it a try and see the results)
    Hope this answers your question.
    Thanks,

  • Not embed fonts saving as pdf

    Hi everyone
    Just a quick question.. before I start to dig myself.
    We save our LC design forms in the source format .xdp. When we publish them we select File > saveAs and choose dynamic pdf.
    but LC designer will always embed fonts in the pdf. We have to open our pdf in LC designer a remove 'embed font' under File > Form properties (this can only be fone to a pdf, so we need an additional save as ZZZZZZZ).
    Question:
    Anyone have solution on setting LC designer ud to not embed fonts when saving and xdp to dynamic pdf? is the a config file or registry setting to edit?
    help is very welcome

    hi Jyske,
    What you can do is to add the following line in the .tds (template) files that Livecycle uses:
    <?templateDesigner SavePDFWithEmbeddedFonts 0?>
    and this just before the closing </template> element in the xml source.
    You find these templates in the <Livecycle Designer Installation folder>\EN\Templates

    Regards,

    There is a similar post just a few away from yours. I will suggest what I would try. Open your job settings file (press or print preferred to get all fonts) and then select the properties and the font tab. At your font to the always embed list and you will likely need to uncheck the subset box. Then save your job settings (give it a name that is meaningful to you, you can not use the settings file you started with as they are read only and I do not recommend changing that). Maybe that will do the job. Of course that is for the creation of the PDF, I forgot you were talking about a form. You might check the form field properties, but I suspect you have already tried that. Guess I don't play with forms enough. Others may be by to answer.

  • How to embed fonts in a PDF

    I have a book which uses Garamond Light Italic and Helvetica light Oblique. Only 2 styles of 2 fonts.
    The printer wants me to embed the entire font families with the PDF files.
    My problem is that I don't know how.
    All I know is that it will only embed the files being used in the document.
    Should I include one letter of each style of each of the 2 fonts, so that the computer will know which fonts to embed?
    Or, is it as simple as entering 100% in the Subset font below window?
    I'm certain there must be a better and easier way.
    Also, it there a way of verifying that the proper fonts have been embeded?
    Please, I need your advise.

    LilyLC, All seems to have come to a conclusion this afternoon.
    It seems that when I create individual pages, make PDFs of them and then merge them with PDF merge, what's happening is that the fonts are being embeded with each page. Apparently the RIP gets confused with all the fonts embeded and substitutes courier.
    The printer recommends that I save the entire book as one document, and convert that document into one PDF file, thereby, embending the fonts once.
    They guarantee that the book will print properly if I follow the above.
    I had been reading through the printers vast instructions and noticed the paragraph relating to this problem, and they confirmed it.
    They sent me a print out of the fonts embeded in my book and the 2 fonts were repeated for each page, 32 times.
    I called Quark about a distiller (whatever that is) and the Custom and Roman encoding. Their answer was that none of it was Quark related. I would have to speak to Adobe.
    I was made to understand that the only reason I would need a distiller is if I had postscript files to convert into PDFs. Since I was generating PDFs directly there was no need for the distiller.
    I don't know how they print these books, other than the covers print RGB and the inside in CMYK. I always convert the CMYK photos.
    I've been satisfied with the quality of their printing and the people, that's why I went through all the trouble to solve the problem.
    I enjoy writing books for my 2 grandchildren. I've done 8 books in the past year.
    You've been a big help, in that you persevered and explained in easy to understand language.
    Again, thanks for all your help and to Limnos who made the original suggestion. I guess you can go back to enjoying the rest of the summer.
    I will now make some reference notes for the future use.
    If, by any chance this doesn't work out I'll will be posting back for additional help.

  • I Need to Embed Fonts in my PDF

    Hi,
    I am trying to upload a pdf into a website but they say there is an error that's stopping the process from going ahead. Apparently I have to embed the fonts in my pdf first.
    I've done quite a bit of online research and found several ways of doing this - none of which seem to be possible to me!
    Is there a way that I can embed fonts without having to buy something? I have Adobe Reader, Digital Editions... but I have no idea if I have anything else (Acrobat?). I haven't deliberately bought it, but this is a brand new top-of-the-range, expensive laptop so I don't know if would have already been installed? Windows 8.2 means that it's harder than ever to navigate your way around the computer. 
    Thank you in advance,

    I have Adobe Reader!
    I just made a document in word and saved it as a pdf.
    I have downloaded the trial version and gone through the steps as described here:
    https://lvb.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/doc/embedfonts.pdf
    Now about to upload to the website... I'll let you know if it's worked. I have a feeling it won't have because I don't have a printer and didn't print it out. The method described above wanted me to print the document out. However I don't want or need to. I just want to embed the fonts so the website accepts my document!

  • Cannot Embed font into InDesign PDF

    I am on ID CS5 Win7 and when exporting to PDF smallest file size get this message. I bought the font form Comicraft and used it before In Ilustrator without probolem, but this is my first time using the font in InDesign.
    Now I am just trying to send a pdf for client review, and can probably find a way to bitmap the pages font. My main concern will be how can I make a pdf-X for final printing?

    Comicraft replied back sayng that their fonts can be embedded. I believe my problem is that I converted the font to PC and Fontlab turned that option on by default for a .ttf font.

    Send a copy of a font to a printer only so they can image the file? This is what most all printers request, only very few accept  PDF-X.
    Embed the font into a PDF, and send the PDF?
    Outline the font and send this legally (hate to do this cause file size gets so large, and occasionally I  have them do small type changes).
    RESPONSE: Any of those options are fine. If you send the fonts, please remind them to delete them when the job is finished.
    thanks!
    This probably differs per vendor, but wanted to share what I found out.
    That's seems in direct contradiction to the information on the FAQ page.  I did see on the site that they would sell you a version for the new platform for 20% of your original cost -- I'd opt to get an OpenType version.
