Ghost Spaces for Certain Fonts.

I have a generated document, generated in house, where a specific set of text has for lack of a better term ghost spaces. When one highlights the text and copies and pastes, the spaces are there. But the document when being viewed or printed does not have those spaces. For example this text:
BANK OF AMERICA
views and prints like the above text, no kerning or tracking issues with the text or spaces in between. But to search for BANK fails in the reader. Search for B A N K (with spaces) will hit that line.
Here is the internal adobe document text:
0 22 Td (________________________________________________________________________________) Tj
0 22 Td (From: BANK OF AMERICA) Tj
/F0 -10 Tf
0 0 Td ( XXXXXX XXXXXX) Tj
0 11 Td ( MISC ZZZZZZ GROUP PH: XXX-XXX-XXXX) Tj
As you can see BANK has no spaces in the document code. This seems to only apply to text using this font...other fonts do not have ghost spaces.
Is this a bug with Adobe reader, or is does this generated document have an issues with the font being used which causes spaces for searching and clipboard?
I can provide the document in question to development if needed.
Note using reader version 8.1

>I can provide the document in question to development if needed.
You're not talking to Adobe here, just fellow users but yes, it may be good if you provide a link to the document.
>or is does this generated document have an issues with the font being used which causes spaces for searching and clipboard?
That would be my first guess.
How are you creating the document?

Need seperation color space for identified font (text)

I want to write it into a Seperation color space If i found a font for the text specified in the PDF.
I got the font name for the text element using PDETextGetFont() function but i want to write those text element into different plane other than CMYK.
Is there any functions to write those text element into different color space?
Thanks!!

Please use the Acrobat SDK forum to reach the specialists who might help.

Separation color space for specific fonts

I Want to write a text (having special font) into a separation color space where my output device supports.
I was able to get the font name for the text using PDETextGetFont() function but i want to write those txet element into different plane (basically the separation color space which i have created) other than CMYK.
Is there any specific functions in PDFEdit_Layer to achieve that?
I tried with some of the functions like PDEColorSpaceCeate() -- for separation but i am unable to achieve my result.
Thanks for your help

You must first understand colour spaces in detail and how they are used and their affect on the PDF. The API does not help you with these things. Once you understand colour spaces, you can easily use the API to create colours in any of the 11 colour space families (well, in 10 of them, patterns are not easy). You can use DeviceN or Separation, but what makes them not too easy is that you need to understand (a) the purpose of tint transforms (b) the internal structure of PDF function dictionaries (c) how to create a function dictionary to implement the desired tint transforms.
You will not find examples of most things, but continued return to the documentation (both plug-in API and 32000-1) should usually yield results.
As you will see in 32000-1, there is no central list of spot colorants used in a PDF. The list of colorants simply comes from the colour spaces used throughout all pages, form XObjects, patterns and type 3 fonts, and you can freely add more colours. However, it is very bad practice to add new spot colorants with different properties, so a good implementation will start with an analysis of the whole file to discover if the colorant is used, and how it is defined.

Upgrade to 14.0.1 Now font-family settings ignored for certain fonts e.g. Expert Sans

Accepts {font-family: Arial, sans-serif, verdana} etc.
But {font-family: Expert Sans, Arial, sans-serif, verdana} will fall back to Arial even though Expert Sans is installed on client PC. Works pre 14.0.1 and on Safari, Chrome, IE6/7/8 etc, so this is a feature of 14.0.1 release.

Since the option to uncheck "allow pages to choose their own fonts" only appears after "advanced" is clicked, I understood what you meant.
Let me put it this way. What I am expecting to happen: when I uncheck "allow pages to choose their own fonts," web pages will not choose their own fonts, but use the ones I've selected. What happens instead at tumblr: my selected fonts do not get used.
To make it apparent, I selected Comic Sans for everything, and unchecked "allow pages to choose their own fonts." The results are shown in the first image below. I used sfgate.com as an example of a site where unchecking "allow pages..." works.
The second image shows the font info from sfgate using the handy plug-in you mentioned. Comic Sans, my selected font, appears.
The third image shows what I get at tumblr with the same settings I had at sfgate. As you can see, tumblr ignores my designation to use Comic Sans.
For comparison purposes: the fourth image shows tumblr font info when "allow pages to choose their own fonts" IS checked.
I have tested this with Firefox 12, 13, and 14 on Windows XP and Vista. I have tested it with multiple fonts (the font I usually designate is Verdana, but visually it's too close to Arial, so I used Comic Sans here) Tumblr ignoring the unchecking of "allow pages to choose their own fonts" happens in every instance. In short: tumblr.com breaks the Firefox option to choose your own fonts. Unchecking "allow pages to choose their own fonts" does not work at tumblr.
Please note that by tumblr I do not mean individual blogs [myblog.tumblr.com], where the fonts can be set by the blog owner, and where unchecking "allow pages..." works. The problem is at tumblr.com, and also at tumblr.com/dashboard, the dashboard being what signed in tumblr users view, and which is 90% of their tumblr "experience."
Another note: in my test, you'll notice I chose the same font for serif and sans-serif. Don't get sidetracked by that. Every version of Firefox, since it was first introduced, will happily use a single font across the board. There is no need to choose an actual serif font for "serif." The font I normally choose for both categories is Verdana.

AppliedFont not working for a certain font

Hello all,
a small but strange problem here. that only exists with a certain font. a shortened version of the script (as it pertains to the discussion) is here. It loops through paragraph styles looking for certain values and changes them:
                    else if (appliedFont.fontFamily== "Myriad Pro"){
                        appliedFont= "Yakout Linotype";
                        if (fontStyle== "Regular"){
                            fontStyle= "Light";}
                        else if (fontStyle== "Semicondensed"){
                            fontStyle= "Light";}
                        else if (fontStyle== "Semicondensed Italic"){
                            fontStyle= "Light";
                            skew= -15;}
                        else if (fontStyle== "Italic"){
                            fontStyle= "Light";
                            skew= -15;}
                        else if (fontStyle== "Semibold"){
                            fontStyle= "Bold";}
                        else if (fontStyle== "Semibold Semicondensed"){
                            /fontStyle= "Bold";}
                        else if (fontStyle== "Semibold Semicondensed Italic"){
                            fontStyle= "Bold";
                            skew= -15;}
                        else if (fontStyle== "Semibold Italic"){
                            fontStyle= "Bold";
                            skew= -15;}
                        else if (fontStyle== "Bold"){
                            fontStyle= "Bold";}
                        else if (fontStyle== "Bold Italic"){
                            fontStyle= "Bold";
                            skew= -15;}
With it i get the error that the system cannot find the font i want. It even wont work in this case:
app.selection[0].appliedFont = "Yakout Linotype";
HOWEVER, if I select a piece of text and change that piece of text to Yakout Linotype using indesigns GUI and THEN run the script, the script works without a flaw.
anyone know why a font would have to be present in a document for the script to call upon it. Or why that doesnt seem to be the case with other fonts, ONLY Yakout Linotype. Thanks!
Edit: "Yakout Linotype" is the fontFamily, Ive tried using fullName and fullNameNative.

I'm guessing: does "Yakout Linotype Regular" exist as a font style? If not, that's the problem -- you are trying to change the Myriad Pro in "Myriad Pro Regular" to Yakout, but it has no "Regular", and at that point the script fails. You can change both the font and the font style in one go by using "Yakout Linotype\tLight" as the argument to appliedFont -- with a [Tab] between the font family and style name.

Is there a discrete, limited space for apps on the macbook air?

I bought a new "air" for my wife and she loves it but ... Yesterday a message popped up about insufficient space for apps. The box popped up repeatedly and could not be dismissed. Today, on "spec" I deleted the Google Chrome app and restarted the machine and now it seems OK. I want to know more.

I realize this is a small "hard drive" but she has had it only 2 weeks and it is not loaded up (yet). What I really want to know is if discrete sections of the solid state drive have been pre-designated for certain tasks. Specifically is there a limited amount of space given to apps?
No, there is just 'space' and you can put anything you want in it.

I have created an editable PDF via Adobe Indesign. When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, is there a way to specify a font style? Or is there a way in InDesign to make sure when someone type in that text field it is a certain font?

I need to make sure the text that is entered is a certain font to keep it continuous with the rest of the document. Thank you!

To go into form editing mode, select "Prepare Form" in the right hand pane. You'll then get a toolbar along the top that contains the various form-related tools. The first thing to do is add a temporary button. You'll use this to determine the name of the font for use with the script as well as place the script that will change the font properties of the text fields. So create a button anywhere, double-click it to bring up the field properties dialog, and on the Actions tab add a JavaScript action to the Mouse Up event that is:
// Mouse Up script for temporary button
app.alert(event.target.textFont);
On the Appearance tab, select the font that you want to use for the text fields. Once you've done that, close form editing mode and click the button. It will display a popup that will list the font name. This may be different than the name that appeared in the dropdown on the appearance tab, so write it down. For example, when I chose "Minion Pro" from the dropdown, the popup showed "MinionPro-Regular".
The next step is to replace that Mouse Up script with the following:
// Mouse Up script for temporary button
// Change the font and font size for all text field in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = "MinionPro-Regular";
        f.textSize = 9;
Replace "MinionPro-Regular" with the font name that you wrote down before and set the font size to whatever you want. Use 0 to specify a font size of "Auto".
This script will change the font of all text fields to whatever you specify. When you've confirmed that the text fields are set up as you want, you can go ahead and delete or hide the button. If you think you'll be doing a lot of forms work, you can create custom tools in Acrobat to speed up this process, but this should get you started. InDesign won't let you specify a lot of field properties and actions, so you have to work this way, and using automation scripts is an accessible way to significantly speed up the process and avoid mistakes.

Flash Text not displaying certain fonts

Thanks as always…
I am trying to use Flash text for some headings, but after an
hour of pulling my hair out I've just realised it will only display
certain fonts, such as Helvetica etc.
I added the font I want to use to my font list but it still
does not display…
I'm using MX on OSX 10.3.9.
Any ideas? Thansk.

Is your text in a dynamic text box, or static text box in
flash?
I don't think the issue concerns the "true-type" or not
"true-type" font.
In Flash, when text is part of a dynamic text box (which I
assume is the case in your situation),
then the font works just like in an html page:
if the font is installed on the computer it will show, if
not, it won't. The way around this, is to
embed the font data in the authoring flash file, and link it
to the dynamic text box, via actionScript.
So if you cannot work on the authoring Flash file with Flash
MX or Flash8, and if indeed we're
talking about a dynamic text box, your only option is to use
a web-safe font.

Finding a certain font?

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but is there a program available for the Mac that can find a certain font that is selected or on the clipboard?

Preview crash, ghost Spaces. OSX Lion

Hi,
I've just upgraded my iMac to Lion.
I've used Time Machine backup to move from my old MacBook all my data.
Since then, I've had few problem with the system. First I have three accounts on my mac, and Preview is working just fine on all accounts but mine, and I'm the admin.
Everytime it shut, I started to send to Apple the data of the crash, but I really don't know what else to do.
If you want/need the report, I'll enclose it.
Second problem, I used Spaces before Mission Control (and I'm really happy with that now), and I used to put some app in some Spaces rather than another.
Now, that remained the same, but I don't need anymore that feature and everytime I click an app without thinking about it the screen moves (like I pushed ctrl+left/right) and it's really annoying.
So here my questions: how to fix Preview? Reinstall?
And how to reset all the ghost Spaces features in one (hopefully) or more steps?
Thank you.
(I think that my english is not really good, but that is the only I know. Sorry 'bout that)

mine crashes and it says
"Illegal instruction: 4"
lipo did not fix it for me either (removing architectures etc..

Losing HardDrive Space for No Reason

Hello Everyone,
I'm in great need of help.I have a IMac G5 running Tiger that is losing HardDrive space everyday even when nothing is being loaded on the machine( almost a gig everyday)I saw on this message board where someone else had a similar problem and they suggested that they look in Finder Applications/Utilities Console and look for repeated lines in the log.Well I looked there and my log has entries every minute or so called "crashdump" .I mean for yesterday there are probably a 100 or so entries with this name (crashdump) .Is this normal ? Can I delete these ?Will that do any good? Is that even the problem?
MANY THANKS to anyone who could help,
Tracy

Is there any software or hardware you don't know for certain if it is compatible with your currently installed system? Just because it says it is compatible with:
10.2.x and up does not mean it is compatible with 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5.
nor does it mean that it is compatible with 10.2.3 and above.
Same with any version of compatibility listing. Only if software or hardware says it is compatible with your exact OS version, can you believe it has been tested with that OS version.

Cannot Select Text That Use Certain Fonts

I have some PDF files where I cannot select the text because they use certain fonts (monotxt for example) when I change the font to Arial and recreate the PDF, then I can select the fonts for copy and paste. My question is how to add fonts that Adobe can recognize for selection.

The fonts are invisible to selection. I cannot select them at all. I do have the license for these fonts. I did some further tests and found that it only happens when I make a PDF from my AutoCAD application and use the monotxt font type. I guess it could be a problem with the AutoCAD application and the creation of the PDF and not the Adobe Reader.

How to customize the appearance of certain font-families?

How can I change the display of certain font-families? Especially I want to change it for the family "Script" (which can for example be seen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font_family_%28HTML%29#Generic_fonts here] ).
I don't know which font is used at the time, but I want to set it to ''Monotype Corsiva''.

The number of possible responses (buttons) determines whether buttons are rendered or a pop list is shown
I am trying to work out how to alter the appearance of the reponse section of a workflow notification accessed via the worklist.
I have set up three options in a Lookup group. They appear as a row of buttons across the bottom. As a contrast in the PO Approval workflow notification Oracle has the Lookup list as a drop down box with the options.
How is this done, where can I find some documentation?
Thanks,
Michael
