LiveCycle Designer 8: Font embedding problem

I use LiveCycle Designer 8 to create a form, but it doesn't wanna embed various fonts. Favorite font to use would be the Meta Font (Type 1 or TTF), but neither gets embedded.
Is this a bug or a restriction of the font itself?
Is there a solution to this problem?
Wish things would be working out as with the Distiller...sigh.

Hi Debra,
To correct this 'feature', go in Form Properties > Defaults tab, set the Preserve Scripting Changes To Form When Saved option to Automatically.
To correctly using Designer 7.x, youll have to write some script to achieve the same result. Currently, you have a script setting the fields state. All you need is to run the same script when the form is opened. In the example below, a form:ready script will execute the change event script when the form is opened. You can use the docReady event as well.
For example:
RadioButtonList: change event
if (this.rawValue == "1")
TextField1.presence = "visible";
else
TextField1.presence = "invisible";
RadioButtonList: form:ready event
this.execEvent("change");
Hope this helps,

Font embedding problem PPT plugin Acrobat 9 Pro

Hi,
having just updated to Acrobat 9 Pro I encounter a font embedding problem when using the PowerPoint plugin (PPT2007) to create a PDF of my presentation. I am working under Windows 7 (64Bit) and use fonts from Mathematica (Wolfram). The generated PDF shows problems displaying the fonts, indicating that they have not been embedded (although font embedding of these fonts is set in the options). The problem does not occur if I directly print to the PDF printer - here all Mathematica fonts are correctly embedded (but this has other disadvantages since videos/animations are not integrated). The problem seems to be specific to Acrobat 9 since under Acrobat 8 everything worked correctly as well.
Any ideas/solutions for that issue?
Thanks & best regards
Ralf

Perhaps you may need to upgrade to version 9.2 (Acrobat support of Windows 7 begins at this dot release)?
Be well...

Font embedding problem in PDFs

Since upgrading to Leopard from Tiger-
We are losing fonts embedded into pdfs, either saved through Preview or Adobe Indesign CS3.
The preview of pdfs, both in the finder windows and in Entourage email attachments are missing fonts too. Sometimes opening them resolves the issue, but not usually.
This has occured to both User and System level fonts.
We have cleaned the font caches, but this only provides a temporary fix.
We have tried not using our Suitcase Fusion and just letting FontBook manage the fonts on this machine, the problem still manifests itself.
The only change in the equation from a perfectly operational machine was the change from Tiger to leopard.
Any thoughts/help = greatly appreciated.

Font embedding problem when re-saving pdfs in Preview

I love the new features in Preview. Especially, being able to reshuffle pages and to be able to add and delete pages to documents, and the improved annotation features.
This is what I did and encountered this problem. I have a pdf that I annotated and added pages to.
I re-saved the document under a different name. On Leopard, and also on a Tiger computer, the document looks fine.
I sent it to a client on a PC and the PC complains with this re-saved document that it "Cannot extract the embedded font 'HEMGNF+Sabon Italic'. Some characters may display incorrectly." This cryptic 6-letter name of the font can change by the way, in these PC-messages.
This only happens when I re-save the document in Preview.
Anybody else who's had this?

Font embedding problem when exporting to PDF

I'm trying to export a 100-page catalog from InDesign CS4 to PDF. I've used Lucida Sans Regular throughout as body text. When I go to export, it says that this font can't be embedded due to licensing restrictions in the font. Thoughts? I've exported this catalog to PDF many times as changes get made and I update it regularly throughout the year, and I've never had a problem with this font (or any for that matter!)

I just posted this message related to your question under another topic:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2397381#2397381
It might have been more appropriate to post in response to you, Emily. At the bottom of my post is a solution you can use, but it involves changing the font in the final product. I also like Lucida Sans, and I've had this exact problem that I never experienced before the upgrade to CS4. Unfortunately, the problem is not limited to Lucida Sans.
I see you posted the original question back in August. I hope this is some help to you at this late date.

Font embedding problem

Hi,
I have embed fonts like this
@font-face {
          src: url("assets/fonts/LucidaBlackletter.ttf");
          fontFamily: LucidaBlackletter;
          embedAsCFF: true;
@font-face {
          src: url("assets/fonts/LucidaBlackletter.ttf");
          fontFamily: LucidaBlackletterMX;
          embedAsCFF: false;
but when i apply cff true font to any spark component it gives me a font embed required cff=true warning. Please give me the solution of that issue.

yeah i was thinking about that too. It shouldnt be working for the mx labels.
Let me ask something else in order to make things a little more clear. I have a skin file for the s button which doesnt declare a fontFamily for the label. So, in my css file I assign the the skin to the s button class in order to have the same skin for all the buttons. The fontFamily should be assigned also in the s|button part or in a separate s|label part? (personally, if I get it right, I think its the same for the button)

Chinese font embeding problem....

Dear all,
I have a chinese page to upload in web..normally the file size is 15 to 20 kb, but when i embed the character(glyphs) the file size will be more than 7mb, so i cant load my page in web....Do u have any solutions for this.the page is in as2.
The reason of embeding character is my page is flip book type...when i flip the text will be rotate, that time the txet is not appear....if i embed character the text is appear when i flip......
Please help me..
thanks in advance..
Rajasekaran.

if you notice how many glyphs are in the chinese library
Traditional Chinese - Level 1 (5609 glyphs)
Traditional Chinese (All) (18439 glyphs)
Chinese (All) (21664 glyphs)
vs
Basic Latin (95 glyphs)
your web application will be much larger. If you are working with specific words you could possibly just import the characters you are going to use in the "Include these characters:" box.

Livecycle Designer Error- everytime I open FORMS-HELP!

Can anyone who is having these issues send the crash dump to [email protected] and I will forward them to R&D for investigation.
Here are instructions on where and how to get the dump files.
=================================================================
Sometimes it is useful to capture an ad-hoc minidump file from FormDesigner when it crashes. Here are instructions for doing this on Vista, and XP.
On Vista 32 bit, wait for the app to crash, and while the "your app has crashed" dialog is still visible, go to Task Manager process list, right click on FormDesigner .exe, and select "Create Dump File' from the context menu. After the dump file is written, its location will be shown in a second dialog box. The "designer crashed" dialog can then be dismissed.
For Vista 64 bit, I think the dump files produced this way are probably not useful, because they will show stacks for the "64 bit side" of the 32 bit process, which is not what we want to look at. For Vista64, it is probably necessary to attach a real debugger to FormDesigner .exe and write a dump file.
On XP, if the default drwtsn32 post-mortem debugger is installed, the dump of the last crash is available at "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\user.dmp". If the user has installed a different post-mortem debugger (e.g. visual studio) or disabled things somehow, then an ad-hoc dump can be made by waiting for the "designer crashed" dialog, and leaving that open. Then go to task manager's process list and note the process ID of FormDesigner .exe. Then bring up a command prompt and type:
Drwtsn32 -p designer_PID
where designer_PID is the process ID of FormDesigner .exe found in task manager. After that, the "designer crashed" dialog can be closed, and the dump will be found in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\user.dmp".
Along with the crash dump file, you should provide the exact build number of the FormDesigner executable you are running (e.g. 8.2 is not sufficient.) You can find the build number by right clicking on FormDesigner .exe and looking at the "Details" tab. It's the "Product Version" entry.

Controlling user interface settings on LiveCycle Designer ES4

How can you control the user interface settings on LiveCycle Designer ES4?

The problem you descibe has nothing to do with the PDF security settings.
If you have added scripts in the fields calculate event or set their access property to readOnly or protected you won't be able to change a fields value.
Ypu can check the current access setting in the Object palette under the Value tab.

Font Issue in Form created in LiveCycle Designer ES2

I have a PDF form that was created originally from Word's Acrobat conversion tool. Now I need to add functionality thru LiveCycle ES2 and have imported the form into LiveCycle.
There is a set of text running down the side which indicates it is Times New Roman (In LiveCycle). I have made the changes but have not touched this text at all. The form is saved as a Static PDF.
When opened in Full Acrobat or Reader, the text running down the side is no longer in Times New Roman, but Myriad Pro. I don't understand why LiveCycle is changing the font on text that I did
not edit at all.
My Livecycle Form Properties are set to Embed Fonts.
Trying to understand what is going on with this font and any help would be appreciated as I've racked my brain all afternoon on this trying different things.
(As part of my troubleshooting process, I reviewed the original Acrobat form and in Acrobat that same text indicates the original font used for that text was Times New Roman PSMT and if you wanted to edit it, Acrobat would substitute Times New Roman. Not sure if this helps but thought I'd mention this....)
4/18/14 UPDATE - ISSUE FIXED FOR NOW
My original process above was to import the PDF into LiveCycle to Dynamic XML. The text would appear as Times New Roman but after adding functionality and saving, Livecycle continued to convert the text from Times New Roman to Myriad Pro. Embedding fonts and checking substitution list did not resolve.
After spending the day trying to get LiveCycle to save the PDF and keep the problem text in Times New Roman, I finally reimported the original Acrobat PDF form into Livecycle all over again but this time as a Fixed Page Layout, where the document gets imported as artwork and cannot be edited. I then added functionality in Livecycle and resaved.
Message was edited by: LBarton

Does anyone have any tips on how to resolve this? My LiveCycle form is a dynamic form. It seems like livecycle Designer ES2 has corrupted it or designer ES2 has a bug that makes reader and acrobat print engine not recognize the pages.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Josh

How to install fonts in Adobe Livecycle Designer

Hi All,
   I want to install new fonts in adobe LiveCycle designer.
   I installed this fonts in Control Panel >Fonts>File -->Install New Fonts and it is possible to see them in Livecycle Designer but when i preview the adobe print form this not work.
I found in the installation of the ADS configuration Guide this informations.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap//j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
So the question is how can i install new fonts so as to use in Adobe Forms?
I will appreciate any help and documentations about.
Thank you,
   Ari
