Font Problems Upon Exporting

Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on creating some files with added Flash
components. My issue, though small, is that even though I have all
the text boxes set to 12 point Arial inside Captivate 3, once I
export to Flash 8 all the text reverts to 14 point inside of Flash.
While going through and changing all the text fields back to
12 point isn't difficult it's rather time consuming. I'm wondering
if anyone knows if I'm missing a preferences panel or if there's a
work around available.
Thanks

I would like to share our discovery as to why the above
mentioned problem happened:
After almost an entire day devoted to investigating,
troubleshooting and comparing "good" and "bad" captivate files, I
remembered what you said about the size of the movie, and then
things clicked. I finally found out what caused the problem.
The following check boxes were checked in the "blurry"
movies:
Project > Skin > playback control > show playback
control
and
Project > Skin > borders > show borders.
This "display" of borders caused a slight change in the size
of the entire movie, therefore it looked strange when displayed in
HTML.
I unchecked them both, published again and now it's fine.
This now raises a different question - why were these
checkboxes checked in some files (we never touched these particular
settings before), and why haven't we encountered this problem
before -- after all, we've been working with captivate all day
every day for the past 1.5 years...

  • Aliasing font/titles upon export from FCP and projecting with NTSC system

    My opening credits are in geneva, size 25pt. I have a transparent background so I can super them into Final Cut Pro. In FCP some of them are over images, some are not (opening credits for example. They import fine, I've rendered FCP, exported it into mp4, then into a DVD program. Upon watching in a large room, the smaller fonts (especially) waver, have rainbows, and are not stable. I hear this is called aliasing? How to prevent? Should I put the titled over slug in FCP? Should I have 10% opacity on my background? Add a shadow? Recently I've tried grey font instead of white...no luck. On an NTSC monitor, I get the same thing. Thanks for help on this one. Jen Mac

    You can try a few things.
    Use the 3-way color corrector in FCP to bring the white levels under 90%.
    If all your text is on the same horizontal plane make sure it's on an even number
    Add a .25 blur to the graphics
    use the de-interlace filter

  • Embedding font problems (when exporting from InDesign to PDF)

    A message alert is shown, when opening a pdf - after exporting from InDesign: Cannont exctract the embedded Font Frutiger.
    We have uninstalled the frutiger font and installed an open type. But the font is not embedded anyhow..?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks very much.
    Jane

    I don't know if you need help scripting this, but...........
    If you can not re-create the PDF from InDesign using the OTF,
    In Acrobat, highlight the text with the acrobat touch-up text tool, right click and go to properties. You should be able to assign the OTF font running on you system, and select the embed option.
    If not, this is why PitStop is an indespensable (sp?) tool.
    Best of luck

  • Problems upon Export

    I have noticed that some, but not all, DNG's and Tiffs that I export out of LR (v.1.3) appear to lose some contrast and become a little darker when viewed outside of LR. This occurs whether exporting as jpegs (sRGB) or Tiffs (aRGB, 8 bit). In order to bring them back to the way they appeared in LR I need to reopen in PS and do a levels adjustment with the white point and midtone sliders. Color is not affected.
    This only happens with export. I can move images back and forth between LR and PS during processing without any problems.
    Any ideas?

    You can fix it with iMovie '06, but it's too complicated to explain in detail here. Read the documentation, or get the book 'iMovie 06 - The missing manual', which explains this stuff very nicely.
    Basically, you want to go to Advanced -> Extract audio, followed by Advanced -> Unlock audio clip at playhead. Now you have the audio in a separate track, and you can drag audio and video separate from each other, until it's in sync.

  • Has anyone seen this? All by "c's" in a font are "blocks" upon export!

    It was a fairly short (test) project. Upon export, every "c" in my text was "blocked." What gives?

    Nope. It's Helvetica, factory-installed FCPX. (Not 3rd party.) Never had the problem before. Doesn't happen with other fonts. I re-exported ("shared") and the blocks disappeared.
    Then... it showed up again intermittently. Trashed prefs. Yep. It's a genuine bug, even if it's one-of-a-kind that is particular to my system, at this moment.
    I'm not terribly worried. But, I'll be interested to see if it replicates itself inside other machines running 10.0.8. Hopefully folks will, literally, keep us "posted."

  • Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

    I have a problem with my Pages
    My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
    I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
    I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
    fonts are missing...
    Is there a workaround.
    I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
    I need help
    thanks a zillion

    The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
    Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
    Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
    You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
    The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
    I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
    What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
    So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
    I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
    The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
    So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
    To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
    Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
    If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
    So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
    Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
    Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
    Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
    Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
    Good luck,

  • PDF and Font Problems 10.6.8

    Ugh.
    MBP13 7,1 (mid 2010) 2.4g C2D 4G Ram
    I use Vectorworks 2011 to produce CAD drawings for customers and the plant. Recently I began having issues with my PDFs of my CAD not being fully distilled - various issues but primarily most dimensions not visible. I have read that PDF issues cropped up beginning with 10.6.7 and that certain PS fonts can be the issue. As well as outdated PDF readers used by my recipients. In a short-sighted fit of frustration I began monkeying with Font Book and Font Caches.
    My maladies are
    1. My PDFs are incomplete
    2. Received MS Office filed open "blank".  Now MS OFFICE 2011 no longer has common Fonts such as Arial and Times Nee Roman.
    Can I fix this or do I need to go back to 10.6.6 and reinstall Office?
    Thanks in advance.
    BTW this forum is surprising difficult to nav on an iPhone.

  • Font error when exporting PDF

    Just exported my file from InDesign to check the PDF before sending it to the printer. Getting message "Cannot extract the embedded font 'CDGLWI+Optima-Bold'. Some characters may not diplay or print correctly."
    I saw thread about emailed files garbling, but this is on my own computer.
    File uses all optima fonts and none are showing correctly in the PDF. Find Font in InDesign doesn't show a problem and nor does Font Book when I validate the font files. Using In Design CS4 and OS 10.6.5.
    Ideas?

    Apparently a font can have a problem or perhaps something in the conversion to PDF has a problem with that font that Font Book doesn't see. After replacing font it now exports to PDF just fine.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to keep photo files in order upon export?

    My wife has imported two sets of files from two different cameras into iPhoto.  Due to date/time stamping errors in the cameras these files did not import in the order she hoped.  Consequently she created an Album and renamed and reordered the .jpg files, and all looked good.  However, she would now like to export these files into a folder, with each file retaining its current order/place, and burn this to a flash drive.  The end product is to be a Powerpoint presentation on a PC which will be developed by a friend.  The problem is that upon export of the .jpgs into a desktop folder, the order of the files in the album is not retained.  I suspect that the original metadata is taking over.  Is there a way that she can export these in the order she has in the album?  Thank you.

    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • Audio problems when exporting

    Hi there.
    I'm having trouble exporting my video file. The resulting .mp4 has audio that is screeching. See video below, password 'audio55'.
    Private Video on Vimeo
    The problem arose when I updated from Leopard to Yosemite on my imac. The audio was messed up upon export whether I used CS5 or CC. So I used Time Machine to jump back to a date before I upgraded to Yosemite and now I'm exporting from CS5 again, using OS X 10.6.8 (Leopard) and the same issue still happens, as shown in the video.
    I have been using this footage (AVCHD) with the same sequence settings for years. There is one error that pops up before I open the project, that the Scratch disks are write protected or unavailable and that they need to be set to my documents folder, which I 'ok'.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi there
    I've seen others report that it's helpful to adjust the audio so that each slide doesn't begin playing audio until .2 or .3 seconds into the slide.
    Perhaps try that and see how you fare.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Photoshop CS (1) and font problems (Mac OS X Leopard)

    A friend of mine has Photoshop CS (1) on his G5 (running on Leopard) and he says that he has font problems ONLY IN PHOTOSHOP. Bad fonts, missing fonts. Now, whether he uses a font management software or not is not important since that problem does not happen in other programs (like Illustrator). Are there issues between Photoshop CS and fonts.
    Thanks

    CS1 works on my friend's desktop which runs on Leopard but it doesn't seem to work on a Macbook which runs on Leopard. We've installed it and it's reported that installation is complete but upon opening the program, an error message states that certain files had not been installed and to reinstall the program to recover them. We've tried reinstalling multiple times but to no avail. Any explanation?

  • "font" problems when converting InDesign file to negative

    the printing service we use for our college newsletter, which is done in InDesign CS3, says he is having "font problems" when he turns the file into a negative (the master used for printing paper copies of the newsletter). I use only a standard font, "Times," in various sizes.
    he did not have this problem with InDesign CS2, and he is as yet unable to explain exactly what the problems are but said there are 3 pieces of equipment involved that each contribute to the problem: old vs new operating systems (OS) in RIP unit and workstation to newest applications and older RIP unit. (I haven't a clue what any of this means...)
    he has asked we create an "outline" of the InDesign file before sending it and believes doing that may help. however, when I create an outline of the document, all of the font turns bright red-- is this what is supposed to happen or am I doing something wrong?
    can anyone help me figure out how to help the printer?

    The .sitx file extension is a Stuffit executable, a way of compressing files so that they take less time to transfer. This has nothing to do with your problem.
    What I'm recommending is that you Export PDF (File > Export > Adobe PDF). Choose the Press Quality preset and send the resulting PDF to your printer. Scott's suggestion will give you a PDF with outlined type, but before you go that route, try a Press Quality PDF, which will have live type and embedded fonts.
    The best reason for sending PDF to your printer is to avoid font problems.
