Font problems when importind IFD files (JetForm)

Hello,
I have around 20 thousand IFD files that will have to be converted into PDF.
We are importing those files in LD Designer (having Output Designer installed on the same machine...) and having a lot of problems with special characters when translating the fonts - all the forms are in Brazilian Portuguese.
Even when importing those files in the same machine where the IFDs were developed, same problem occurs. And they are not fancy fonts, just Courier and Arial.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Thank you for any hints!
Marcos

3) OmniPlan/Preview - When I create .pdf files of projects, words that have a double "f", such as Effort, Efficiency, Kickoff, etc. are created with either an exclamation point in place of the double "f" or a double quote mark. Even stranger, the same .pdf file saved on my computer can open either correctly or with the double "f" problem - it depends on the day.
This sounds like slightly different fonts are being used, where one is generating an ff ligature which the others do not have, or have something else at the codepoint used for that.

  • "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.

  • Problems when reading pdf files

    I use windows 7, and also have available Adobe Reader 5 and Adobe Reader X, but i receive some problems when reading pdf files. What can I do???

    Reader 5 is not Windows Compatible. Two different versions of the same computer can cause all sorts of problems. Remove all Acrobat and/or Reader software then re-install Reader X.

  • Having problems when exporting .swf file as an animated gif

    Hi:
    I was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues exporting a
    flash file as an animated gif? When I do so, the image quality is
    very compromised and the animation is distorted. I know this is not
    very specific question, but I have never encountered this issue
    before, and I am trying to help a co-worker. I don't understand why
    it looks exactly the way we want it to look as an swf file, but not
    as an animated gif? Can anyone point me in the right direction as
    to what to look for as the potential source of this problem? I have
    the swf file, although this would not be very helpful as I don't
    have access to the flash file (but I can send it to you if that
    would help). We tried unchecking the feature to optimize the image,
    and changed the color pallete to adaptive, but this didn't solve
    the problem. I also tried removing any unnecessary layers prior to
    the export. Basically, I'm not sure as to how to proceed and what
    may be causing the problem. I also want to mention there is a
    placed image on the stage. Could the type of image placed be
    causing the problem when exporting to a gif file, but not as a
    .swf? If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it! Thanks.
    Sara

    I also wanted to mention that the swf file uses sound. I am
    reading an old book that I have on Flash and it's saying that Flash
    and Shockwave Flash enter a special mode when they encounter a
    stream sound in which the animation is forced to keep up with the
    sound track, if the animation frames can not be drawn quickly
    enough, some frames are skipped. I am also reading that the
    animated gif format does not support sound. Again, the only
    reference I have is for a very old version of flash, and I'm not
    sure it applies to CS3. I am now just thinking that the sound may
    be the issue.

  • A strange problem when uploading a file in Struts

    When i upload a file, the other elements in the form of the jsp cannot be got by the ActionForm, instead, the getters show that they are "null"s. But when i upload no file, everthing is ok.
    Moreover, the problem happens when i update an article which can have an picture with it, but when i add a new article, the problem does not appear, instead, the file can be uploaded and other element can also be got.
    i think i might be a problem of the volume of the request , because i put more information to update than to add.
    Hope someboby can help me with the problem.

  • Problems when converting Office files into forms in Vista

    Hi,
    I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat X Pro but am having a problem when trying to convert office files (word and excel) into forms on  my laptop running Vista.
    I open Acrobat and select create or edit form and get the window to select the file which is fine.
    I then select to import a file from file system which is ok so I browse and select the appropriate file and select next and I get the below error.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as updating but it had no effect.
    I have uninstalled it and installed it on a computer running XP and it all works fine.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Since you seem to be on a 64-bit system, be sure you have updated Acrobat and are not running AA 10.0.0. Can you run PDF Maker (the create PDF button) in WORD?

    When I load pdf files from Shared Content, I got the following problem: "The selected document could not be retrieved, please try uploading the document again."

    Thank you very much in advanced.

    I don't migrated the program, but installed it from the original installer,

  • Font problem when converting to pdf

    I have been struggling with this for a long time! When I export to pdf for some reason the fonts become really mangled. I use several fonts but it is especially baskerville 12 that looks really bad. I have searched and searched but can't figure out why it comes out like that?
    If anyone can be of help it will be much appreciated!

    I have the same issue. From what I found online it originated sometime during this update (http://indesignsecrets.com/mac-os-x-10-6-7-update-causes-font-problems—but-proba bly-not-in-indesign.php)? I am running OSX Lion but it seems the issue was inherited...
    My situation is using Pages with Baskerville font. It appears wonky in Adobe Reader but as expected in Preview.
    Found a temporary fix at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4320355#4319047 . It would be nice for this to be included in an upcoming patch.

  • Audio problem when importing video files.

    Hello everyone,
    I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
    Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
    However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
    I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time  as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
    I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
    Cheers
    Christophe
    PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

    Update to 10.0.5.
    You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.

  • Font problem when downsizing file in Adobe Acrobat pro 9

    We currently use Quark on our pcs and sometimes when we need to downsize the hi res print ready
    pdf to low res. We do this in acrobat but what tends to happen is that the fonts either shift or
    go across the page. Can anyone help with this? there are two of us running 9 while the rest of the crew are operating 4,
    although I do not think that this is the problem. Can external ads cause a problem?
    thanks
    Nita

    External ads?
    Open the original external ads and check for font embedding. If the fonts are not embedded (or subset), than Acrobat has no font data for the spacing and such.
    I have to ask however...when you create a "hi res print ready" pdf from Quark...with a placed pdf without fonts embedded (or subset) does Quark not realize or warn you that the fonts are not available?!?

  • Multiple weight font selection when using STL file importing...

    I am aware how powerful the manual editor is for DSP4.2, but unfortunately a lot of the editing for my subtitles needs to be done outside of DSP. So I came across a little bit of a problem...
    When using a multiple weight font, like Kozuka Mincho Pro (and many others), there are several weights, and some don't even have a "Bold." As an example Light, Thin, Roman, Heavy, Black, etc.
    So, using the STL method of importing, how does one specify a font AND weight that does not correspond to a "Bold" version? i.e., setting "Helvetica Neue Bold" does not bring that weight up when specifying "Bold = False," and you can't possibly get "Helvetica Neue Black," under any circumstances. I've attempted to get around this, but all I get is a message saying that the font is not found, and that the default font will be used. Is it even possible to do this?
    Hand entering and altering kanji in DSP's manual editor will be a nightmare, if I can't figure a way around this (the STL file is re-loaded dozens of times for placement issues during the project, meaning manual edits would have to be re-done every time).
    Hopefully the next version will allow the user to edit the .rtf document with styles and fonts and import them as styled text the way it appears. Multiple fonts per line, so easy integration of various symbol fonts can be dealt with, etc.

    Nope, using "$FontName = Helvetica Neue Black" does not work. And you can't even do anything close to that with fonts whose weights are specified as W3, W5, W7, etc.
    I found another snippet buried in the new manual that states something to the effect that the name must be spelled exactly as it appears in the "Font Panel." If this is so, then you can only access two weights from any font, just like working with good old-fashioned windows...
    So, unless there is a DSP specific trick for the STL format, I'm going to guess it's not possible.
    And I cannot re-compile fonts with new names and data, since most of the fonts I will be working with, with this issue, are full Kanji Unicode fonts, and we would have to purchase a font-editor that, IIRC costs about a grand. I think the SysAdmin would frown over both aspects of that... ^_^

  • Why does the font change when I combine files?

    I am trying to combine PDF files into one document using the "combine files" tool online.
    The new file that is created changes some of the fonts to different fonts (I think it is having difficulty with times new roman in particular). I need to keep the original fonts when I combine the files, how can I stop it from changing the fonts?
