Font issues exporting PDF in Keynote 6.5

Is anyone else experience font issues exporting PDF's in Keynote 6.5?
My entire team has been having issues specifically exporting the font Merriweather. It's been fine in the presentation itself, but in the PDF - it's spaced out aggressively and the font weight/type/size is always wrong.
It's been a real hassle, as our brand body copy font is Merriweather and we've never had a problem with it.

The conversion issue seems to be tied to OTF fonts. Converting Merriweather to TTF, deleting OTF versions from Font Book, and/or System Font Folder worked for us. Clearing font cache and restarting can further flush out any legacy conflicts.

Post Author: MikeScott
CA Forum: Exporting
Hi,
Does cr8.5 have facility to embed fonts in exported PDF documents?
I have got font embedding working on one PC but can't get it to work on other client PCs. On the PC where embedding works I have the following dlls:
crxf_pdf.dll v9.1.1.534
craxdrt v8.5.0.217
Any advice appreciated.

Export pdf borderless keynote 6.0

I use keynote to create graphics for latex. In keynote '09 I could simply export them as PDF borderless.
Keynote 6.0 seems to always put this annoying black border around the exported PDF. Is there a way to export without this border?
(The hint to use the print functionality is worthless to me here as it does not export the slide in its dimensions but on a printable sheet which requires manual trimming later which I want to prevent.)

Thanks for the hint to pdfcrop (e.g. part of texlive, needs X11)!
Running
pdfcrop --margins "-1 -1 -1 -1" input.pdf output.pdf
removes the border. So this is a workaround that might be faster than opening and exporting in keynote '09.
As I have many graphics and I change them frequently the border remains annoying and should be removable in the program.
For those wanting to see the 1px border, you can enter:
pdfcrop --margins "5 5 5 5" input.pdf output.pdf
and you will see the annoying black border...
So I agree with techfips and encourage you to:

Crystal Report Font ISSUE in PDF

Use the CR9 and CR2008 open the same report template file and export it as pdf file.
The font format in the two pdf files are different.
I compared the font size using File-Options (Fonts used in this document),
In the pdf file created by CR9, it is like:
Arial +6 (Embedded)
by CR2008, it is like:
Arial (Embedded Subset)
How can I make the CR2008 displays the same font like CR9 in the C# code?
Thanks for help, because it's quite important to our project, without getting this resolved, the report files will be rejected by customer.

Download SP2 and test again, if it's still an issue then Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Issues exporting pdf (acrobat 9 Pro) to docx (MS Word 2007)

recently upgraded to 9 Pro (32bit) - ok I'll admit I'm a little slow on the upgrade - in an XP Pro SP3 (32bit) OS
I created a PDF from a web page: Create from web page>HTML. I then tried to export to docx. I ended up with a mishmash of word boxes overlaying each other (EXPORT > Word Document > Settings > Retain Page Layout > OK etc. )
I repeated this with a "normal" pdf - not one created from a web page but with the same result.
Any ideas??

A PDF may not convert wll to DOC if the sense that you are using it since there is not any layout info in the PDF. You may likely have a bunch of boxes and such that are then converting to WORD in a way you do not like. There is even a question as to what the default page size is of the PDF that you are using.
Have you tried printing to the Adobe PDF printer from your browser? This process will not include the links and such, but if you goal is to convert to DOC then those would not go anyway.

Font issue opening PDF file in Illustrator

I was given a PDF file to make typographical changes. Because of the complexity of the file it would be easier to make the changes in Illustrator rather than edit the text in Acrobat. BUT the font (Arial regular, bold, bold italic) defaults to boxes -meaning the symbol when a font isn't open or available. I have tried highlighting the text and manually changing the font but I still get the boxes. I am not able to change the font to any font that I have activated in my system.
I am using IA-CS3 on a MacPro with 10.5.2.
Another note- the PDF was created on a PC with program called Vantage. It is used by our order-entry department.
I am stumped as this is how I have changed PDF files in the past.
Any ideas?

It is Arial Regular, Bold, Bold Italic, Italic. I think it has to do with the file coming from a PC. I get an error message telling me these fonts are missing even though they are on my system. With Illustrator it doesn't offer a replacement font when the error message comes up. After the file is opened, I highlight the text (which is the boxes I previously mentioned)and replace it with another font from my system. I still get the boxes.
When I paste the text in TexEdit nothing shows no matter what font or color I tell it to use.
I have never seen anything like this.

Flash player 8 - font issues

Having font issues exporting to Flash Player 8 using CS6. The problem is both PC (Windows 7) and Mac (10.8.3). The font in dynamic text boxes will not display properly, ie reverting to regular or not at all. Seems to be when using demi/semi and sometimes bold type, Myriad Pro Semibold/Avenir Demi in particular. Any help gratefully appreciated. Note: Has to be Flash Player 8 due to client.

Seriously, if I have to repeat another question I will stop replying on this thread.
If you tell it to generate a size report in the publish settings and look in the file, what does it tell you about what characters are being embedded and where? If you are not able to figure it out from looking at the report, feel free to paste the text of it back here.

Font issue in exported PDF from indesign

Font issue in exported PDF from indesign:
In Indesign file we have kept a sentence in “Univers LT Std” (San serif font) with all caps style that was orginally in lower case. Refer below
When we selected the sentence in exported PDF some of the characters are not selected. Refer below.
If we enable “create tagged PDF“ in export PDF setting, then the problem is solved. Refer below.
Can you please check why this problem happened? In another project also we have faced this same problem but different font “Frutiger LT Std” with all caps style. Here also same San serif font. Please check and advise to solve this issue permanently.

Without tags a PDF is a silly amount of letters, images and lines, with tags all itams a kept in their semantic context. So work with tags as it is the only way to get correct selections and export to other file types like Word DOCX.
Without tags InDesign reads from left to right from top to bottom and the font geometry might influence the correct order of letters.
Why should anyone work without tags today? If you open a tagged PDF in Acrobat DC it is much faster than without tags.

Is ID exported PDF considered non-editable? (In the case of view&print embedding permission fonts)

Hiya!
I am a graphic designer and I use InDesign 5.5.
I have a question about font embedding when using the InDesign's export as a PDF in "print" format feature.
Many fonts allow embedding into digital documents only for the purpose of viewing and printing.
In addition to this the font EULA's mention that the embedded font may not be used to edit the document.
Is it possible to create a non-editable PDF with embedded fonts?
Is choosing PDF export option "print" the key here, or embedding the fonts as a subset?
Isn't it still possible to edit PDF in Acrobat with touch up text tool? Or use some third party editing program?
OR Is a PDF file - with fonts embedded as a subset - non-editable as such, or at least considered to be non-editable enough?
Or is it just that the file doesn't really have to be non-editable, but it must not be edited...
How do I ensure that? Do I even need to ensure that?
Whole thing seems so controversial.
Hope someone can shed some light into this!!!
-Ahlax-

Ahlax,
There are several separate concepts here.
First, PDF is really a final form file format. It wasn't designed as an editable format for layout such as InDesign's .indd format ane Word's .doc and .docx formats. Although PDF files may be tagged with contextual metadata, typical content of PDF files contains no context in terms of words, sentences, paragraphs, columns, etc. It is simply graphical objects including text fragments, vector artwork, and raster images at a particular place on a page with specified graphical attributes (color, transparency, etc.). As such producing a full PDF file editor first requires definition of what it actually means to edit such a file given the characteristics of PDF files.
That having been said, Acrobat and various third party plugins to Acrobat as well as third party applications provide some degree of editability for PDF files, recognizing that such edits are definitely not at the abstractual level that you get with InDesign. You can “touch-up” text, but doing a re-layout is effectively impossible. In most cases, it is better (in terms of time, effort, and resultant quality) to go back to the source document, make the changes there, and then regenerate the PDF.
Fonts are a totally separate issue. Adobe products will not embed any font into a PDF file unless the font allows for at least preview and print embedding. For PDF forms, Acrobat requires a font to allow editability embedding. However for text touch-up and other edits, Acrobat never uses the embedded font. Such edits are only allowed if the user has the same font actually installed on their system.
In terms of forcing a PDF file to be totally non-editable, that is done by applying security to the file when you export the PDF file from InDesign (the Security tab) or in Acrobat Pro after PDF creation (go to the Security tab under Document Properties (Ctrl-D) to set such security).

PDF and OTF (Postscript) font issue (is there a PDF validation tool?)

Greetings all,
I am experiencing a problem uploading any documents, which include embedded OTF (Postscript) fonts, to a Cloud based collaboration tool called Crocodoc. The problem/failure appears to occur during the document conversion from PDF to HTML5. It is important to note that this problem is not specific to Crocodoc because I have tested others (i.e. Zoho).
The problem is specifically with Madcap Flare and its recent support for OTF fonts. This is how I arrived at this conclusion:
- Changing the embedded font to TTF only, the published PDF uploads to Crocodoc without incident.
- It is not the OTF font. I have also tested this particular OTF font with other publication tools, including Microsoft Word and Adobe Framemaker; there were no issues.
Other facts:
- PDF files appear to function normally. It is only when I upload to Crocodoc-like apps when the problem manifests itself.
I subscribe to the Creative Cloud but Adobe Acrobat doesn't seem to have any validation functionality.
But here are some other tests that I have done:
- Opened the malfunctioning PDF into Acrobat (no apparent issues)
> Saved as optimized with all discard options turned on plus I ran the sanitize option. The new saved PDF still failed to upload.
> Removed ALL text and saved a blank page. Still failed to upload to Crocodoc
> As a verification, I created a PDF page (from clipboard) with Acrobat and saved that (one line of font using OTF font) - This successfully uploaded to Crocodoc.
> VERY INTERESTING...using Acrobat to CONVERT the problem PDF to eps and then eps back to PDF - This PDF uploaded successfully to Crocodoc.
BUT there is something 'wrong' with Adobe Acrobat's conversion because it only converts the first page back into a PDF. WHAT?
Conclusion, as long as the PDF originated in Flare, it will fail to upload to Crocodoc. However, converting the document to .eps and then back to a PDF seems to have stripped away the 'bad' stuff.
What I am trying to learn is what exactly is causing the upload and conversion error?
Is there a PDF validation tool and might identify what is causing this conversion problem?
Sorry for the long post. Hopefully someone had the patience to read this and has an idea.
Thank you

Hello TSN,
Test Screen Name wrote:
Picking just one point: PDF -> EPS -> PDF. This could not possibly do more than one page, because EPS is absolutely by definition a single page format. Therefore you must choose a page when exporting PDF to EPS.
Thanks for your response.
I was thinking Microsoft... which has allowed multi-page eps files for years. But you're correct, this is normally an unsupported .eps format.
I solved the problem over the weekend by doing the following:
1) I removed the suspect OTF font family but despite doing so, the folder still had two 'corrupted' but unused copies of an italic font. They refused to remove so I had to boot into Win7 SAFE mode to remove.
2) After complete removal of the OTF font family. I reinstalled the OTF font *BUT* only from a different repository (oddly, this other OTF font set is slightly larger per font).
3) Once installed, I tested with Flare, published and uploaded to Crocodoc SUCCESSFULLY. Yeah!
I don't have anymore time to test but the questions remain, such as, was it one or more of the following issues:
a) Flare has a problem handling some OTF fonts or cannot error correct (the way other programs do) for marginal fonts or font errors?
b) Was it the two corrupted fonts in the Windows/fonts folder?
c) Was it the slightly different OTF fonts that I am no longer using?
Take care

The font weight on exported PDF's differs on pages w/ graphics in Acrobat?

Hi,
I couldn't find anyone addressing this, so here goes...
I just upgraded to iWork '06/Pages 2.02 so I could export PDF eBooks and retain the hyperlinks. Everything is working great, except that when I view the PDFs in Safari with Acrobat Reader (rather than Preview) or on a Win machine with Acrobat reader), pages that have images on them (and sometimes different bolded fonts) affect the weight of the normal article (non-bolded) font. In other words, the normal font will look slightly bolded on pages where there are also images, whereas the weight looks fine (as it did in Pages) on pages where it's only text.
This does not happen while viewing the PDF in Preview. This seems like a bug in the way Pages is compressing the PDF, which seems to be present regardless of the export quality setting used.
Has anyone else encountered this and are there any work-arounds?
Thanks a bunch!
-Mark

Hello Mark
PDF/X-3 (what Save As PDF-X creates) is a standard developed for print with the intention of eliminating compatibility problems for people submitting jobs to outside print services. It ensures that the necessary font subsets are embedded into the PDF. Maybe this is why it fixes your font problems although I've often noticed issues with fonts both on Windows and OS X. Unless you are zoomed in quite close, they can look poor on screen but print quite well. This seems to be an artifact of the viewers and font dependent.
I'm quite surprised that your hyperlinks work. Given that they are for interactive purposes I would have thought that the PDF/X-3 production process would have stripped them out.
I'm not at my Mac right now so I can't verify this but you may be able to create your own PDF workflow with Automator that generates the precise amount of image compression and font subsetting you require for your PDFs.
The end of this thread might give you a start: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4300016#4300016
I hope that is of some help.
Good luck!

Oswald font changes every time I export PDF

Hi,
Every time I export to PDF I get a totally different font. The font I'm using is Oswald.
I thought Pages was supposed to embed fonts automatically?
It doesn't matter if I export to PDF or go to Print and Save as PDF. In both cases it changes the font.
Any tips?
Thanks!!
Anja

Hello Anja,
There may be an issue with your Mac's font cache. Shutting your Mac down, then starting up in Safe Mode (by holding shift when starting up), then restarting once more will reset the font cache and may help get your exported PDFs to have the correct font.

PDF Format Oracle Reports font issue

My process is generating the batch oracle Reports.
Their key map is:
Key1: %* server=server1 userid=xxxs/xxx@xxxx report=D:\sample.rdf destype=file desformat=PDF
My process is calling IAS server to generate report. IAS ser is generating and saving the report in the specified location.Reports are running on the server locally and DESTYPE=FILE. So the Oracle Reports output is saved on the server itself. Whenever i open the report on my machine/server i have font issue. Some of the reports has very tiny font. It seems the reports generated by using oracle reports which is Arial Unicode font type is causing the problem. If any reports other then Arial Unicode font like Arial Westrn, those reports are fine. We have 1000s of reports. So we don't want to change each report font type. For me it seems the issue is with the font on the server. Is there anyway to ask App server use Arial Westrn if Arial Unicode not found. How to make these configuration changes in the server. Any suggestions please.

Maybe this helps or at least points you in some direction ...
Have a look at font aliasing when configuring Application Server : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_font.htm#i1006140
If your Application Server is located on Windows I would suggest to install the fonts there.
In Unix, this a more complex task.
