Jumbled Text in PDF Graph Output

Hi there,
I have an unnusual problem with one of my BI Publisher templates. The template is an RTF Template and I'm trying to output to PDF. I'm using an external font which I have added to the two font folders on the BI Server and added the mappings in the BI Publisher admin tab.
The template is set up as follows; page 1 of the template gives a summary for all data. It contains a table with four graphs below. Page two is in a for-each group and is identical in every way to page 1, other than it regroups the data by a particular field.
The summary page displays fine, from what I can tell the external fonts embed correctly into the PDF (If I do Properties -> Fonts in the PDF the font is there as embedded. The problem is that the first graph on each page after the first has jumbled text. For example, page 1 the graph is titled *"Performance Summary"*, on page 2 this is *"Pfymtyparcf R ppay"*, page 3 is *"AeufruoSpae PooSu"*. The legend, title and axis lables are all like this. All other graphs are fine. There is a pattern to what is happening, for instance the axis on page 1 is 1-Sep 2-Sep 3-Sep 4-Sep... on page 2 this is )%Rfu -%Rfu 0%Rfu 3%Rfu and on page 3 it is )%Pet -%Pet 0%Pet 3%Pet.
If I remove the first graph from the 2nd page, then this issue affects the second graph, if I remove the 1st and 2nd graphs, it affects the 3rd graph and so on. The XML for the graphs on page 2 is a copy of that from page 1 so I know it's not an issue with that. As there is a pattern to the jumbled-up-ness I suspect that it's a problem with BIP greating the glyphs in the PDF but I have no idea how to go about solving this.
Another interesting thing is if I look at the fonts in the PDF file, along with my embedded fonts, there are a series of T3Font_0, T3Font_1,...,T3Font_12 fonts. These are the ones in use in the graphs.
Any help with be much appreciated.

I've worked around the issue by removing the external font from the graphs, however I would still like to understand why OBIEE fails to embed external fonts correctly in my reports.
Many thanks

  • Changing the seeded rdf report output from text to PDF

    Hi All,
    I am trying to change the seeded report "Print Requisition Report" output from text to PDF. I changed the output format in the concurrent program definition from text to pdf. The report is now getting displayed in pdf format, but the alignment of the fields are changed. The output is not printing as it was printing while in the text output format. The output looks very sloppy, with uneven fonts and too much of text wrapping.
    I tried some formatting and fields are somehow getting displayed but doesnt look in proper format. I am not able to change the font style in the report builder 6i, even if i change it is printing in the same font style with uneven font size. I think reducing the font size might help, but i am unable to change.We are on 11.5.10.2. Please provide your valuable suggestions on how to go about.
    Thanks
    Sarvesh

    Hi Hussein,
    Thanks for the information. After the adjustments in the layout and the font change the report is now getting displayed without any clipping when clicked on view output. But when the same report is printed some characters on the left and and right side is getting clipped. Please help on how to solve this issue.
    Thanks,

  • Why do I get jumbled text when pasting a graph from Excel (mac 2011) into Illustrator cs6

    The Goal: To copy a graph from Excel (mac 2011) and paste it into Illustrator cs6 as a vector graphic.
    The graph's vector and layout is okay. Yet, the text / copy is jumbled text:
    $%"
    $#!!!!"
    Do I have to change a preference in either Excel or Illustrator?
    Thank you!

    In Excel, right click and choose Format Chart Area. In the dialog at the left, choose Fonts. Change the font to Arial or something other than Calibri (Theme Body). Then copy/paste.

  • I am not able to modify the text in pdf output file using pdf editor

    Hi,
    We have upgrade the xml 5.6.1 in server level. After upgrading this, we are not able to modify the pdf output file. Previously we used to modify text and delete text in pdf file which is generated by oracle Application. As of now we cann't upgrade higher version. Can you suggest what to do?.

    Check the xdo configuration file option in the user guides. There should be options that allow / disallow modifying text specifically. If you are in EBS, you should be able to change the configuration file options from the XML Publisher Administrator UI.

    Hi Sudhanshu
    Yes you should check the version of acrobat reader. I had a similar problem with graphs. You must download the latest version of acrobat reader (available free) and try. This must help.

  • Randomly Missing Text in PDF Created from FrameMaker

    This problem relates to a structured FM document, but I suspect it might be a general issue and have posted it here in the general forum for that reason.
    I am generating PDFs that are missing text somewhat randomly throughout. I tried searching the forum for solutions, but none of the suggested fixes worked and none of the posts specifically addressed the issue I am experiencing.
    I am working in structured FM. The templates we use were originally created for FM8. We use both FM8 and FM10 in our work group. We are able to duplicate the same problem in both versions and on multiple computers.
    I thought I had narrowed the problem down to certain paragraph formatting, since it only ocurs in three or four paragraph formats (a bullet list, table text, etc.) Garden variety formatting. But in most places in the document, these formats appear perfectly. The strangest occurence is a single intance where the page number is missing from the footer.
    I thought it might be a font issue, as I've had similar issues in the past. I had a missing font warning in the console, but I am pretty sure that this has nothing to do with it, since they are fonts we are not using and all the other text from the same formats appears.
    I tried turning off "Remember Missing Font Names" in preferences. No help.
    I checked that the fonts are in the local directory and appear as embedded subsets in the PDF.
    I also tried checking and unchecking the "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" option in the PDF output settings. Also no help.
    The randomness of the missing fonts bewilders me and I've exhausted my own troubleshooting abilities. I would be happy to share a source file if anyone thinks they could help me that way.
    Thanks in advance,
    Douglas

  • PDF-X output -- images distorted

    It appears that PDF-X output is, for me at least, a double-edged sword.
    I have a document which contains several images, to which I have applied drop shadows. There the problem starts. If I print my document directly from Pages, the drop shadows are completely opaque and look like some kind of weird half-border (regardless of the opacity setting I assign them), but the images themselves, which contain very small text and pictures, are crisp and the text in them is readable.
    I found a solution to the drop shadows issue here in this forum, so I printed the document to PDF-X. Now the shadows display beautifully but the quality of the images suffers greatly. What was crisp before is now garbled and illegible. I tired different print quality settings, but these don't seem to apply to printing to a file.
    I have also tried saving as postscript -- unfortunately this produced even less usable results. many of the images in my document became distorted at 45 degree angles and some (though not all) lost their color. These issues are only present in the hard copy I printed from Preview. In Preview itself it looks normal.
    Any assistance that anyone here can provide would be thoroughly appreciated.

    Thanks! Thought it would be something in that direction. Any tools or libraries you might know that can be used to extract and parse this kind of information (as part of a preflight process or something else)? Adobe tools for instance?

  • Remove one logo & some text in pdf page

    Hi, i want to remove one logo & some text in pdf page, so i have used stamp tool & done it. my problem is after saving output pdf file size is very high. so pls tell me after editing how to save in pdf format & less file size.(without loosing image quality). my pdf page i have upload to bellow link (520 kb). thanks....
    https://app.box.com/s/kn0g6kfs1pz4sjzfgmna

    You can't. PS will always rasterize a PDF and as a result when saving you effectively save a pixel image that will almost always be larger than the original.

  • How to change text in PDF doc. which is a musical score

    Hello,
    I'm new here, so please excuse me if I do or say something I shouldn't.
    I need to change the words in a musical score because the font is too small. OCR recognition doesn"t work because there are illustrations that are different from images or text... Is there a way to get in there and make the changes I need to do?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply, but I have Adobe Reader 9 Pro. Will it still not 
    work ?
