Font not appearing on PDF Output

Hi,
We are creating a XSL-FO report in Oracle Applications R12 which uses a special font. I installed the font using XML Publisher Administrator and I can see the font when I click on Preview on the template. But when the report is run from Applications, the same font does not appear. I will really apreciate if anyone can provide a solution to me for this.
Thanks
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek
When you say XSLFO template do you mean an RTF template or an XSLFO template?
Where are you previewing the template successfully and to what frmat?

Urgent: Custom font style not appearing in PDF output only

Hi,
For a customer, I received customer specific font styles(ttf font files) which I installed on my machine and then copied those files in Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts as well as in JRE/lib/fonts. Then I created a template in word and font there appears as custom font.
Now I am getting that font style in all output formats(rtf,ppt,excel) except the PDF output. I am using Oracle BI Publisher desktop alone. Not sure what I missed because of which text font is not changing in PDF version only. I checked the PDF properties and there also custom font is not getting mapped.
Thanks in advance.

Here is the link that describes how to set up the font mapping for PDF output: Look for "Font Mappings (for PDF output)"

Page numbers not appearing in PDF output past a certain point

Hi. I have a very large book layout in Aperture (> 300 pages) which I output to a PDF file (using the Print button followed by selecting PDF). I have successfully done this many times in the past, but there have occasionally been times when Aperture's output just stops including page numbers past a certain point. I think what it's doing is deciding on white page numbers for the rest of the book, which doesn't work so well when the background is white. (I can see this because there are occasional pages which are full bleed, and the page numbers appear in white on those pages).
Has anyone else come across this? I have seen this problem for years (Aperture 1, Aperture 2). The solution seems to be to carefully modify the page layout so that no elements impinge on the location of the page number. But doing this does not always solve the problem. Just this morning I duplicated a page, changed its content, then output and... the page numbers just stopped in the output 30 pages *after* this page. I just changed the page to move a text element up, hoping that this would solve the problem, and now... page numbers stop at page 263 instead of page 98.
This is a very bizarre and annoying bug. Extremely annoying. I am not going to print a book which has page numbers in only the first half or 3/4 of the book. But if there is no workaround, and Apple seems not to have noticed the problem, I could be stuck.
Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions? How can I report the bug to Apple? I can't very well give them the output as an example, as it's about 800 MB.

Hi leonieDF. Thanks for your reply! I didn't know about the "Provide Aperture Feedback" link.
Alas the Theme is a custom one, it's 9"x11.5" so that the result is 8.5x11" after chopping off 1/4" from all sides. (The printer does "full bleed" with 1/4" margins). I originally created it by hand for Aperture 1.5, by simply copying one of the themes and adjusting the dimensions. (Custom themes weren't possible until Aperture 2, if I remember correctly). Perhaps that's the source of the issue. Though I'm not sure how...

Text from text module is not appearing in smartform output

Hi Experts,
We are using text modules in one of our smartform to print the sender text . The name of this text module is being dynamically determined during the execution and is coming correctly but still the the text inside the text module is not appearing in the output. We checked one more similar form which is working on the similar logic but calling a different text module , there it is working perfectly. I have tried all the possibilties like changing the window size, changing the fonts and other parameters of the text module but still its not appearing . This seems to be something unusual as in both the smartforms(one with text appearing from module and one without the text) the logic is exactly similar for getting the text module name. The name is getting determined in both the cases correctly and the text modules are also maintained in same manner for both these forms but text is appearing on one and not on other.
Kindly help if any one of you have also faced similar issue.
Regards

Hi Priyank,
There could be various reasons....
Wrong language for example
An easy way to prove this is, put the text direct into the smartforms and see, if it pops up immediately.
If so, you have to really debug this spot and see if the pased name is correct. (Copy paste it in the debugger, to be really sure, there could be a space in fornt or in the end...)
If that doesn't help, you have to share more details. Your question is not that very specific. You know

Hi Prabhudas,
I am using the FM 'CONVERT_OTF' to convert the data to pdf.
The FM CLOSE_FORM is creating the IT_OTF internal table and the CONVERT_PDF uses that internal table to populate the         IT_PDF internal table and then using the FM 'SO_OBJECT_SEND' to send the PDF file to mail.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
       EXPORTING
            format       = 'PDF'
       IMPORTING
            bin_filesize = g_filesize
       TABLES
            otf          = it_otf
            lines        = it_pdf.

Activated fonts not appearing in Illustrator?

I'm running Illustrator CS on a Dual PPC G5 running OS 10.3.9. I have an OpenType font active (using Linotype FontExplorer to manage fonts) and can use the font in all programs except the Adobe ones (Illustrator and Photoshop). Why would the font not appear there? I need it for a logo that I have to manipulate into a vector graphic, but I can't do anything if it won't appear in the type menu. Any ideas as to what's going on and how I can fix this?

Christine,
Did you by any chance create the fonts yourself? OpenType fonts shouldn't cause any more trouble than Type 1 if they are correctly made and named.
If their names show up incorrectly or if they don't show up at all, it's probably because someone did something wrong in Font Info when he was making the font. If you make use of the Build Names thingummy in FontLab Studio it can save you a lot of this kind of trouble. I have done quite a bit of this kind of work - adding Icelandic characters to fonts and that sort of thing - and find that it's absolutely essential to do things right if you want to avoid problems in FontExplorer.
It can sometimes happen too that fonts are made specifically for Windows, in which case they may need to be edited and re-saved for Mac before you can use them so that they work perfectly. You can often get a Windows font to work well on a Mac but you should keep your eyes open for glitches all the same.
And another thing, you may occasionally need to restart Illy when you've made changes to fonts in FontExplorer. This doesn't happen often these days but still crops up occasionally all the same.

Font not displaying on Reports Output (RHEL 5) for 10g

Hi, I know I've posted a question in the past about a font not displaying on Report Output for my Arial, Arial Narrow, and Courier New fonts. I worked with Oracle Support and found that Metalink Note#261879.1 fixed my problem with those 3 fonts. I ran the scripts and now that part works great.
However, I have one font "ARIALUNI.TTF" that will not work. This is out specific barcode font we use. I've pushed it on Linux from my Windows by pushing it as a binary file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/TTF directory. I even put it in the directory for TTF on Metalink Notoe 261829.1 and let it create the files, but it still doesn't find it when I ran a report that uses this font.
I tried using font subsetting via the uiprint.ali and make a reference but it still doesn't seem to work.
Is there something I'm missing that would cause any of these not to work. I thought maybe some files had to be created under the guicommon/tk/admin/AFM file directory but I'm not sure.
I just want to have my 2 or 3 reports that use this barcode to work. Once I get them, I'm done and all my font issues are resolved. Any help is appreciated.
Chris

They are probably a very old Type 1 font. Try checking the dates on the font files. Your best bet would be to get the OpenType versions of those fonts and install them.

Frame artifacts appearing in PDF output

I have a problem with faint artifacts of object frames, rectangle frames and diagonals, etc. appearing in a PDF output when viewed in Acrobat Reader.They are hairline thin and are not visible in the InDesign document on screen.
Here are the circumstances of it occurring:
I'm using CS5.
The PDF is output for a publication that requires PDF X-1a:2003 standard.
The artwork, and any placed images are in CMYK. Transparency blend space is set to Document CMYK.
The background layer for the ad. is rich black 50:0:0:100 and the artifacts are showing up over a white logo.
Placed near the logo is a transparent background PSD image file with a drop shadow on the subject. (This object frame is one of the artifact sources) If this image is removed, the problem disappears.
Tif files don't seem to cause the same problem, but I'm having difficulty placing tifs and retaining transparency; the background always turns white, which doesn't happen with PSDs.
Be grateful of advice as to preventing this happening; Thanks.

We can confirm with a screen shot, but it sounds like a flattening artifact known as stitching. This shows on screen in the PDF, and often in a low-resolution print, but usually is not a problem on press.
You have to specifically opt to save transparency in the Tiff options dialog. You'll find once you do, though, that the stitching returns -- it's the transparency and flattening that causes this.
You can embed a screen shot using the camera icon on the web page like this:

Converting the document from old version(Fm7) to Fm 11, bullet doesnot appear in pdf output

Hi all,
I have converted Fm 7 files to Fm 11 files. Now when i open the files in the Fm project, bullets does not appear and instead of that question mark displays(?).
However, when i tried to open the older fm files in fm 11, font is not available window appeared. But font are being replaced by the existing font in all over document except the bullets. bullets are not appearing in the frame maker project as well as in the PDF generated.
There are different types of bullets being used in all over the document.
PFA sample of FM document file and PDF generated file in which red mark indicated the problem of bullets.
Please provide a proper solution for the same asap.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Nutan

What font does the document use?
Is it a Unicode font?
Although there may be other reasons, the "?" is consistent with an attempt to use a Unicode character for which the present font does not have a glyph populated at that code point.
> Please provide a proper solution for the same asap.
That's not how this forum works, and such requests can easily have the opposite effect.

Custom fonts not displayed when PDF is generated using 10g Report builder

Hi
I have two fonts , abc.ttf and def.ttf which I have placed under C:\Windows\fonts. One of these displays a logo and the other displays barcode
I have added the environment variable REPORTS_PATH which has value C:\Windows\fonts. I have also added entries for PDF Subset in uifont.ali.
But still when I run the report and out to a PDF file, the fonts are not displayed. They are remapped to some other fonts.
When I check PDF document properties in Adobe reader, under fonts tab it says
abc
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
def
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
uifont.ali entries
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
# Arial = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
abc= "abc.ttf"
def="def.ttf"
In Oracle reports builder, I am able see these fonts and select them in my report layout
I am able to see the fonts in Preview/screen output while running RDFs in my reports builder, but PDF output doesnt display these fonts
Is there anything else which is required to do ? Do I need to restart the machine after environment variable is added ?

In one PC were Report Builder is installed, we see "COURIER NEW - WESTERN" font and the RDF created / saved in that font works fine on server. I don't know if this helps!
