Importing new fonts to Acrobat

I need to edit a book manuscript that is originated in Goudy.The font is not available on Acrobat. Can I import it? And if I am using the correct font will it avoid the layout problems that occur where the letter spacing is affected by even adding a comma?

As for the font, you just have to have the exact same font installed on your machine as far as I know. Getting the font (the exact one, not just one with the same name) may be an issue. Also be sure that what you get is licensed for embedding.
The other issue is actually more important. Acrobat is not user friendly for editing. Minor edits can sometimes even cause you to pull your hair out. It is not a tool to edit a book in any major way. Ask for the original files, edit in the related application, and create a new PDF.

Can I import new font in Photoshop Touch?

Is it possibile to import new font style in Photoshop Touch?

I was disappointed that I couldn't find an answer to this but I think I've got it.
Try installing HiFont from the App Market. It installs fonts on your android that work across most apps. Open HiFont, slide over to the Local tab. It tells you how to install new fonts to the program. Just make sure the font you download is a .ttf file.

Import new font into iMovie?

I bought a .TTF font and installed it in Fontbook. It shows up in other places (Quicktime Pro, Adobe Indesign etc) but not in the list of fonts for iMovie HD 6. Can't believe I couldn't find anything about under this entire thread. The font sits in the Users>Library>Font folder. Thanks for clues.

You should heed the warning. Can't tell what the problem is. Might be the font somehow got corrupted.
I would try the oft applied maintenance of deleting preferences and doing a permissions repair. To delete preferences, close iMovie and trash the file named com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Also, drag to your desk top the FontCollections file (NOT the Font Book) found in User (the house icon)/Library.
Then do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app found in HD/Applications/Utilities. In the left hand pane of the Disk Utility window select your hard drive icon and then click on repair permissions. Takes about 3 minutes to repair. Then relaunch iMovie and see if you still have the problem. iMovie will recreate the .plist file that you deleted, as well as the FontCollections file. After confirming that the FontCollections file has been replaced in User/Library, you can delete the one on your desk top.
If you still have the problem, you might try clearing the troublesome font out of your system, and then reinstalling, following the directions for "Installing a font" in the Help menu. Skip trying to drag into the computer folder.
I can't think of anything else to try right now.

I imported a new font into keynotes, but shows as Lucida Grande

Ok, so I imported a new font to be used in my keynote as part of our companies profile presentation (Brush Stroke). It was imported, and shows in Font Book, as well as the font selector in keynote.
However, everytime I select it to change the current font from whatever it is to Brush Stroke it always appears as Lucida Grande??
Any help? Am I missing a step? Did I do anything differently?
Thanks!

Did you use Font Book to install the font correctly (file > add fonts) ?

How to add a new font to font Book

I need to import a new font into font book for use. The font I have downloaded appears as a blank file (I don't know if I am explaining this correcly). When I try to locate this file thorugh the finder in appears greyed out and I can't select it. I have right clicked on it and specified that it be opened with font book; however, I cannot ever view it within font book. Perhaps it is not a valid file foramt for mac. Here's is a screenshot as the file appears on my desktop:

Add New Text - Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro

I have scanned in two documents to my Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro and now would like to add some text. When I try to select the TouchUp Text Tool it is "grayed out"; in fact the whole Advanced Editing Tool Bar is "grayed out".
I can go to the spot where I want to "add text" and hit control and right click and draw a box, but the New Font dialog box does not drop down?
Can anyone please help or shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?
Regards, June E. Hudspeth
Thank you so much.

I have just re-scanned my document unclicking the "PDA/A Compliant" box and "viola" everything appears to working just "wonderfully"!
Thank you so much for ending two days of total frustration!
I also talked with an instructor who taught the Adobe 8 class & he didn't have a clue as to what was wrong.
Again, I thank you very, very much!

Memory Leak with new Font()

Hello all,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. I have a program that needs to change the font of at least 250,000 letters, however after doing this the program runs slow and laggy as if changing the fonts of each letter took up memory and never released it? Here is a compilable example, Click the button at the bottom of the window and watch the letter it is currently working on. You will notice that around 200,000 it will begin to not smoothly count up anymore but count in kind of a skipping pattern. This seems to get worse the more you do it and seems to indicate to me that something is using memory and not releasing it. I'm not sure why replacing a letter's font with a new font would cause more memory to be taken up I would think if I was doing it properly it would simply replace the old font with the new one not taking anymore memory then it did before. Here is the example: This program sometimes locks up so be prepared. If someone could maybe point out what is causing this to take up more memory after changing the fonts that would be great and hopefully find a solution :) Thanks in advance.

You're creating a quarter million distinct Font objects, and obviously you must be hanging on to all of them because each character is having its font set to the newly created object. So if you have 250k chars, you're forcing it to have 250k Font objects.
Since the only difference is that rand.nextInt(50) parameter, just pre-create 50 Font objects with 0..49, stick 'em in the corresponding elements in an array, and use rand.nextInt to select the Font object to use.That does make sense but it does that when the the program is first launched and doesn't lag. But the second and third time you change the letters font it seems to lag so if it wasn't taking up more memory the second time it should perform like it did when it first launched. I don't care to investigate any further. The real problem is almost certainly the quarter million Font objects. It could be that 250k is fine, but by the time you get to 500k, it has to do a lot of GC, and that's where the slow down is coming. You might even be able to make it work better with the code you have just by tweaking the GC parameters at startup, but I wouldn't bother. Fix the code first, and then see if you have issues.
Does creating a new font for each of those letters not replace the old font object? If it didn't use more memory the second and third time I don't think you would see the skipping in the counter and the slowing down of the iterations. So it must be remembering some of the old font objects or am I wrong?Using new always creates a new object. When you do it the second time around, and call letter.setFont(newFont), the old Font object is eligible for GC. That doesn't mean it will be GCed right away though. The JVM can leave them all laying around until it runs out of memory, and then GC some or all of them.

Changing Default Font in Acrobat 7 and/or Acrobat Reader 9

Anyone know how to change the Default Font in Acrobat 7 and/or Acrobat Reader 9? Whenever I open a PDF document the text defaults to a Times New Roman or basic font. Can we change the default font?

The fonts are defined as part of the created PDF. If you mean something else, then please explain. A PDF is designed to replicate the document it was created from and thus the fonts are defined by the originating document. If you do not have the font and it is not embedded, then Acrobat tries to find a close version to substitute.

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'

            format       = 'PDF'

New Font in System Font Panel- iMovie

I use I-movie to create short videos for clients. One Client is requesting a special font that is not listed in the systems font panel. This is the second of this request from clients. So, is there a way to import different fonts into that panel area? How?

Hi
Yes You can.
I just did
I started a new project to test
I put a photo into this
Then I selected text tool and selected a type of text e.g. lower third (second choice)
Then drag and drop this onto the Photo in my new Project - NOW
Up in the Viewer I get a title (up left) reading Show Text font's - and here from I can select all font's installed on my Mac.
SORRY _ NEW INFO
The Font Panel - NO I was not able to change this - only able to use the font I liked in the Movie. Most probably I didn't fully grasp the Question.

New Font wont show in Adobe reader.

My company is re-branding itself and part of that re-branding is having the new name in a new custom Font. But when we print our external reports to send to customers the new Font does not show. I tried adding the Font to the adobe reader Font folder but still nothing? I wish Adobe Reader would just get it's Fonts from C:Windows\Fonts\. What do I need to do?

Sounds like you need to talk to the folks that build the application that you use to create the PDF's.
No one here will be able to tell you how to embed fonts in that application unless you get lucky and run in to someone else that uses it. Their support would be your best bet.

New font not coming through?

Hi
We use reports 10g and app server/db 10g.
I need to use a new font for our company logo. I have installed this on the server and local PC. I have installed these and then amended a text string on one report to use the new font. It appears correct in reports builder and also correct when i use the run paper layout through reports builder on my local PC the report shows with the new font.
When i run the report from our reports server it changes the font to something else (looks like a standard forn like ariel or something).
Im assuming the reports server does not know this new font but yet i installed it on the server that has the app server installed on. I also gave the app server a reboot just to test this but still no luck.
Any help will be appreciated.

It is pretty weird that it does not work since both the IDS and the AS are in a Windows environment.
IF it is PDF, you can try something, you could configure PDF Font subsetting - this will embed the font in the generated file which would make it completely portable, you would not need to install the fonts in the client PCs.
Try saving and opening the PDF file that is generated with Acrobat Reader, then go into File -> Properties -> Fonts
What do you see ?
Try also generating an XML file from your .rdf, then search for "font face"
Did you find your new Font there ? What's the name ?
face="Arial"
This name "Arial" is the name of the Font as the reports is going to need in the server.
For configuring PDF font subsetting, you can simply copy the .ttf files from the Windows Fonts folder into one folder in the REPORTS_PATH, then you go into the uifont.ali file to configure it.
i.e.
Arial..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
Arial...Bold.. = "Arialb.ttf"
Arial..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
Arial..... = "Arial.ttf"
