IPhone doesn't render all fonts embedded on PDF documents

The PDF reader in the iPhone does not render all fonts. When viewing attachments or PDFs posted on a website some text fields just don't show up, but they do when viewed in Preview or Acrobat Reader.
I have not seen discussions about this so I just want to make sure that the Software developers at Apple are aware of the problem.
This is a big issue for my profession (Graphic Design/Advertising).

This isn't the place to make sure of this but this is.

Detecting if a pdf has all fonts embedded

I'm looking for some ideas on how to solve a problem we have in accepting pdf.
We accept a user's pdf and we need to make sure that all fonts in the pdf are embedded.
If the pdf does not have all fonts embedded then the user should get a messsage telling him to embed all fonts.
The site is written in .net so I'm assuming that I have to create .dll using the adobe sdk.
Are there any other ways to solve this problem or any ideas that may be simpler to implement?

Pre-flighting is NOT something new to Acrobat in the app GUI it is however new to the scripting side. I don't have this version but you can build a set of conditions then test a PDF to see if it meets the conditions. Conditions can be just about anything in a PDF you care to check.
Again better to ask over in the Acrobat scripting forum on wether you could implement this.

Hi
Is the pdf being generated from a central location, or is each user running the report and exporting to pdf?
The font will need to be on the same machine/server that is generating the pdf.

Change font in a PDF document

Hi there!
I would like to change the font on a PDF document 'cause I have to take out some parts of it (copy into a .doc or similar)
The problem is when I do it, the original font is not recognized by text processor (stranges symbols appear).
I´m trying to change the font in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but I can´t edit It; the programm says that (not exactly, ´cause its in Spanish)
"The font change has not be done because the chosen font and the document´s fonts codification are different and It cant be solved."
Clicking on pdf´s properties, I see these fonts:
R11
R277
R677
All them are "personalize" codification and type 3.
I hope some in this forum could help me, ´cause I really need to extract some text of this PDF for work stuff.
Thank you, and sorry about my bad english...

I see where you can see fonts in Acrobat 9 Pro under Document Properties. But the poster was trying to help guide you in the right direction. Don't be malicious towards people who are here to HELP you.
try reading this document:
http://ballade.cs.ucla.edu/~kohcc/sigdacdrom/instruct/fonts.html
and especially this one from adobe's knowledgebase:

hope that helps.

Particular font for entire pdf document

Can i set a particular font for entire pdf document while designing pdf forms in LiveCycle Designer ES?
How can i do it?

Each object has its own settings for font. You can set the object to the font that you want and then drag it back onto the palette. It will ask you to overwrite the current one. As you drag the object back into the drawing area the new font will be used. This is true aof all properties of the object and not just font.
This is useful if you are creating a new form, but if one already exists then the easiest way is to open the XML source (right mouse click on the Design tab and choose XML source. Use the search facility to find all occurances of typeface and chnage each one to the font that you want. Save the XML and then all objects will have the same font.
Make sure that you make a backup of th eform before you play with the XML. There is no undo once the cahnges are committed.

About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document using internet explorer 11?

About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document stored in a folder (I'm using Windows 7)?
It only prints 1 page then my Brother MFC-J4510DW Printer says "Please put another piece of paper in the feed slot"....the problem is the print setting is set to "manual mode" in Windows 7 rather than "general setting". If you try to change the setting to "general", it will not accept the change.

Hi.
I did try using the printParams feature and it worked, but since I need to be able to print sets of non-consecutive pages, I end up having to bring up the print dialogue multiple times and have the user set watermarks each time.
I decided to just create a new pdf in a temp directory containing the selected pages and open this document in a new window. This works well and allows them to use the print button on the window to print, bringing up the print dialogue just once. However, since I need to open the document in a way that shows the print button, I am using OpenInWindowEx, with AV_DOC_VIEW, and the option PDUseBookmarks or PDUseThumbs, rather than PDUseNone. This displays a toolbar which also includes icons for creating a new pdf, deleting pages, etc. I do not really want to include these icons on the toolbar. Is there a way to remove unwanted icons from the toolbar, or make them invisible?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help.

IPhone doesn't show all music when I connect to network in iTunes

Hi
In iTunes Preferences on my Mac I've ticked the button to make all my music available over the network.
When I use the Share option in iTunes on my iPhone it doesn't show all the music on my Mac. Is there something else I should set to make this work?
Thanks

Need all fonts embedded in my PDF.

I converted a word document to pdf through pdf pack. How can I get the following fonts embedded in my pdf: arial MT, arial MT bold, and arial MT italic? Thanks.

Hi Cyn Tarr,
You can embed fonts using Adobe Acrobat.
PDF Pack cannot accomplish this.

Full Font embedding in PDF

A couple of years ago, I set up some Distiller profiles to fully embed fonts into my PDFs. No subsetting allowed.
Since then, I've been using Indesign's PDF Presets, which used my created profiles, to create these same pdfs. Now that I have an issue that I need to investigate, I checked my PDFs in Acrobat and find that all my fonts are embedded subsets.
Now when I try to open Distiller 9 it locks up on me and I'm unsure why. Cannot find a key combination to release Distiller's settings that choke it.
But reading about on these boards, I'm getting the sense that perhaps I cannot fully embed anymore? I've made PDFX 1a, 3a, and 4 and find they are still subsets. These are mostly Type 1 and OTF, with a couple of TTF's mixed in.
What is best practice so that a PDF that is provided to printer, etc has the full font embedded, provided the permissions for the font is set?
thanx, sam

PDF font embedding/subsetting is the current operation - there were just too many issues with indexed fonts with the old PDF export engine (lack of Il8n support, must deploy font files with the PDF, lack of proper barcode support etc).
The engine will still index fonts if it tries to use font that's unavailable or not subsettable on the runtime system, and defaults to the Java default fonts.
That's not something I recommend - font substitution to the default Java fonts would play havoc with your report formatting.
PDF font subsetting is currently the way all current Crystal Reports engine works.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Listing all fonts used in a document?

   As I understand it, TextFonts is a collection of all fonts available to Illustraot. Is there a collection of all fonts used in the open document? Or would I have to step through every textFrame an create that list myself?

I don't know why and how you write error log, so I only add a single alert after all. "xmpString" and "XMP library" are two different methods, you only need one of then.

Preview Doesn't Find All Searched Text in PDFs

I downloaded a PDF copy of my home insurance policy and I had it opened in Preview. The pages are displayed in the side bar. When I type in a search query such as "building" or "personal" or "dwelling" it doesn't find all occurrences if any yet I know there should be plenty of hits.
I guess I can try Adobe Acrobat.
Thanks for any advice.

Does any one having that problem?
Note: I have tested with using both Crystal Report Designer XI and Crystal Report 2008 which come out same result.
Thanks,

Morning Yin,
Did you have any luck with the download? The link I sent you does not need to download using username and password.
Additionally I doubt if your company would know what your username and password is for SAP as you got to request SAP to get one.
here is the link to the registration page.
[https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/new_user_pass/infouser_request.htm]
Register yourself first and then you will receive the username and password for it.
Hope this helps

Incorrect font display in pdf document(web view)

Adobe helpers,
I am encountering a very peculiar problem with incorrect display of fonts in pdf documents when viewed in a web browser. Briefly, the problem typically affects the first page of a pdf document, the font being displayed as an unidentified mix of large and very small, skinny type. Other pages may or may not be affected, and if one back-clicks to the previous page the text often displays the correct font, so the problem is in some (but not all) cases non-persistent. The problem however is resolved completely if I uncheck the 'display pdf in browser' option under edit>preferences in adobe reader. Fonts I use include Arial, Cambria, Franklin Gothic Book, and Garamond; as straight-up pdfs, the documents look fine. FYI, I have Adobe reader X 10.0.1 (Win 7) and 9.0 (Win XP sp3) installed on two different machines. Firefox 3.6 and IE9 are equally at fault. FWIW, all the pdf documents begin life as MS Word or Publisher 2010 documents, which are converted to pdf within these applications before publishing to web. Since I can't control how people choose to view web pdfs, I'm concerned that display of the prone documents is impaired when viewed in a web browser.
Not sure if this is a reader, browser, or distiller problem but this seems a logical place to start looking for answers. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I've also had problems printing with Reader X.
When printing an attachment from an email in Outlook, if I don't open the attachment first, sometimes it doesn't print correctly as everything shows with the following number or letter. Example 12345 will print as "23456" and invoice will show as "jowpjdf". Even if I open the attachment, sometimes it will print the first page ok, but the next pages will "mppl mjlf uijt".
Never had this problem with previous versions.
