How to embed fonts in XDP files

Is there any way I can embed the Arial Narrow fonts in the xdp files?
Is it true that If the fonts are embedded in the xdp files then the pdf generated from that xdp will populate the font correctly even though that particular font is not installed? What about printing that pdf? If the font shows correctly on the scree, will it print correct too?
Some of our clients are having issues printing the pdf which has Arial Narrow fonts. It prints gibberish.
I have attached a pdf whoch shows gibberish letters.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The fonts will be embedded as long as the vendor of the fonts allows it. Even they are embeddable then yes the font will display properly on machines that do not have the font installed.....but note that your PDF will be much bigger becaise the font is embedded.

  • How to embed fonts / characters

    Hi,
    Can someone help me learn how to embed fonts?
    I'm using flash 8.
    Thanks!!!!

    "do i need to do this for both static and dynamic text?"
    Not for static text.
    "i don't see an embed option - i went to library - new font -
    and then there is an option to click ok???"
    After you select the New Font option, find the font you want
    to embed in the dropdown, then hit ok. click your text field once,
    and in the properties panel, select the font that you just
    embedded.. *Refer to my previous post to tell the difference of an
    embedded font and non-embedded font.

  • How to embed fonts in a pdf file

    I have a pdf that has some fonts not embedded. I think that distiller might be able to embed the fonts when I print the pdf file, but it is inconvenient and may not always work. Is there a direct way to embed the fonts in Acrobat? Thanks!

  • How to embed fonts in a textbox in adobe acrobat 9

    Hi all,
    The forms has beed designed in adobe acrobat 9.It has the text in the textboxes with a fontstyle of DejaVu Sans Mono.The client or the user generates the form by clicking on the appropriate link and the textboxes are populated accordingly.The problem is they dont have the fontstyle used in the textbox installed on their system.So whenever they generate the pdf the font in the textbox doesn't print in properly.Is there anyway we could force it to use the font which we have originally set up.Thanks in advance

  • How to embed font into generated PDF?

    Hi,
    I have an issue with cyrillic fonts in PDF-file, generated from smartform using the following mechanism:
    1. Run FM for smartform with ==> getotf = 'X'
    2. Perform CONVERT_OTF retrieving result into a XSTRING.
    3. Converting xstring content into a table using "cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix).
    4. Creating mail to an external internet user with attached pdf ==> using "cl_document_bcs=>create_document..."
    Smartform contains cyrillic content, based on HELVCYR (Helvetica cyrillic) font. Application server is based on Windows.
    Everything worked well (for months!) for allmost all of the clients of our customer. Of course, some of clients have different OS-es (such as Linux, Mac OS, etc.), and then the problem starts - they doens't view properly the cyrillic content. English content (even numbers, etc.) are properly displayed. We found what fonts are used in the PDF, but my questions are:
    1. Is it possible to embed the font into generated PDF-content?
    2. If no, is it possible to generate PDF-content non-selectable (i.e. in some image mode) ?
    If yes, how to do this?
    Or is there any other way to workarround this issue - to be able to display mail with attached PDF-content with cyrillic on different OS-es? It would be better if it is possible without calling external converter...
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
                                           There is no way we can control the fonts in the created PDF / while creating the PDF using the class cl_document_bcs in your PDF creation logic.
    You can try some other approach of creating PDF from the Smartforms OTF stream data .
    Try using the follosing FM for the PDF creation and sending email:
    CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF
    CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL
    SO_OBJECT_SEND
    CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL_NEW (Try this but this FM still uses  the class that you are using currently. But give it a try and see the results)
    Hope this answers your question.
    Thanks,

  • How to Embed Fonts and make Grayscale in Acrobat Pro 9 PDF

    I supplied my printer with a PDF but he says that I need to "Embed The Fonts" in the PDF.
    I made the original document in MS WORD and then I created the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 but nowhere
    along the way did I see anything that asked me to Embed The Fonts.
    He also says that the type is in RGB but it needs to be in Grayscale.
    When I created the PDF I didn't see any option along the way that gave me a choice between
    RGB and Grayscale.
    Any ideas how to achieve these two effects while going from an MS WORD document to a PDF using
    Acrobat Pro 9 please?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sorry to bother you with my problem but I wondered if you could explain a little bit more about things I didn't understand.
    1 - you said > On a Mac there is no advantage to using the Word plug-in.
    Do you mean that I can type directly into Acrobat?
    I thought that a document needed to be created in a word processor first before I could turn it into a PDF.
    Is that incorrect then?
    2 - > Create the pdf file a print file menu gives you greater control.
    I do apologize but I did not understand this statement either, could you please expand on it a little (to a non-techie.)
    3 - > If you use the Press job option setting, the fonts will be embedded.
    I can't find Press job option setting anywhere - I am using Acrobat pro 9 but there doesn't seem to be a menu with Press
    anywhere, could you please expand on this a little bit too please.
    4 - > If the pdf file has already been created it can be converted to greyscale using the Preflight or Convert Colors
    under Advanced -> Print Production.
    I understood this part and I executed it according to your instructions so thank you for that.
    Unfortunately I couldn't find out how to embed my fonts and my printer charged me $75 to do that
    so I was pretty upset about not being able to understand that part of your explanation.
    Since the printer was able to embed the fonts in a document that was already a PDF then it must be possible
    to embed fonts after a PDF has been created, is that correct?
    If that is correct then i don't know how I could not find how to do it because I looked everywhere for that
    ability but I could not find how to do it.
    I'd be very grateful for any further help you could give, thank you.

  • How can I prefill an xdp file from a web link

    Hi
    Prior to using LifeCycle Designer, there was a means to use a document javascript to parse through a url and set values of a PDF with the url's parameters.
    Now with LifeCycle Designer, that document level javascript is gone.
    So how do I have a list of web links that point to my xdp file, but each has parameters that I want to pass into the xdp before it ones?  Things like firstname lastname,etc. 
    I am not using LifeCycle Server.

    You can't. PS doesn't do SVG and even if it did, it wouldn't retain SO vectors in teh way you probably expect it to. That's simply not how SVGs work. You will have to use Inkscape, Illustrator or otehr tools, if you realyl need vector SVGs.

  • How to embed fonts AND keep bookmarks?

    Hello, newbie here.
    I use MS Sql Server Reporting Services to generate a lengthy report, often over 100 pages. The report must be distributed as a PDF, and it must use some slightly unusual fonts, and it needs bookmarks. Reporting Services has a PDF rendering engine which can insert the bookmarks, but it cannot embed fonts (I'm using Visual Studio 2005).
    So after some investigation, I saw that I can embed fonts by converting the PDF to a Postscript (PS) file, then use Distiller to re-create the PDF with embedded fonts. A bit clumsy, but it works, EXCEPT that apparently the conversion to PS removes the bookmarks.
    So I am guessing that I'm going about this all wrong, and am hoping some one here can show me a better way. Oh yes, I have Acrobat 9 Pro and Distiller 9.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    You may be overcomplicating this. Hopefully, depending on which SQL report writer you use, you can configure it to embed fonts or at least a subset of the fonts at the time of the report generation. I have never had much luck with it outputting bookmarks so if you have mastered that, you have me beat. I took a section from my SQL report help on embedding fonts and and plagiarizing and pasting it below:
    Font Embedding
    When possible, the PDF rendering extension embeds the subset of each font that is needed to display the report in the PDF file. Fonts that are used in the report must be installed on the report server. When the report server generates a report in PDF format, it uses the information stored in the font referenced by the report to create character mappings within the PDF file. If the referenced font is not installed on the report server, the resulting PDF file might not contain the correct mappings and might not display correctly when viewed.
    Fonts are embedded in the PDF file when the following conditions apply:
    Font embedding privileges are granted by the font author. Installed fonts include a property that indicates whether the font author intends to allow embedding a font in a document. If the property value is EMBED_NOEMBEDDING, the font is not embedded in the PDF file. For more information, see "TTGetEmbeddingType" on msdn.microsoft.com.
    The Font is TrueType.
    The characters in the string that has the Font property set are Unicode, not ANSI. No font embedding occurs for ANSI characters.
    Fonts are referenced by visible items in a report. If a font is referenced by an item that has the Hidden property set to True, the font is not needed to display rendered data and will not be included in the file. Fonts are embedded only when they are needed to display the rendered report data.
    If all of these conditions are met for a font, the font is embedded in the PDF file. If one or more of these conditions is not met, the font is not embedded in the PDF file.
    Fonts on the Client Computer
    When a font is embedded in the PDF file, the computer that is used to view the report (the client computer) does not need to have the font installed for the report to display correctly.
    When a font is not embedded in the PDF file, the client computer must have the correct font installed for the report to display correctly. If the font is not installed on the client computer, the PDF file displays a question mark character (?) for unsupported characters.
    Verifying Fonts in a PDF File
    The fonts that are embedded in the PDF file are included in the Fonts property that is saved with the file, as metadata.
    To check if the font is embedded go to File/Properties/Fonts and see the status of the fonts, if they say embedded or subset embedded you are all set.
    lt me know where your process lets you down and I can try to help from there.

  • How to embed fonts in document for all users

    Hello,
    we are using a custom font for our documents. I know it's possible to embed fonts in document when saving.
    Is there an option to enforce this setting with a policy?
    I cannot find the right policy in the Office Policy templates.
    We are using Office 2013 x86.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, the option is document-based, we can't control this on the Policy level.
    If your request is to turn on this option for all new created documents. Since all new documents are based on the Normal.dotm template, a workaround is to create a new Normal.dotm template in which this option is checked:
    Browse to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates, open Normal.dotm, tick the option and save it as Normal_1.dotm, save it in the same location.
    Then rename the old Normal.dotm to Normal.old, rename Normal_1.dotm to Normal.dotm.
    Open Word and create a new blank document, you will see this option is ticked.
    To deploy this file for all users, we can write a startup script. The process is like: 1. Remove the old Normal.dotm, 2. Copy the new Normal.dotm template from a network shared location to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.
    I hope the information is helpful to you.

  • How to embed fonts in PDF Pack (Adobe X)

    I watched a video that showed a "preflight" button in the tool dropdown... I have to embed the Times New Roman font in  a document, but cannot figure out how.....

    The PDF Pack online subscription services Does Not Come With Acrobat (the desktop application).
    As mentioned you must have Acrobat XI Pro in order to run a Preflight that will embed fonts.
    Note that at Adobe's Acrobat product web pages you an make use of the link to download/install the free fully functional 30-day trial of Acrobat XI Pro.
    But -- if all you have is Adobe Reader and a subscription to PDF Pack you have no means of embedding fonts.
    Be well...
