Making sure fonts travel with PDF document

I use Adobe CS2 which is old but still works for me. When I want to create a PDF, I choose ADOBE PDF from the printer menu, and output to a file. How can I be sure that what I see on my computer will display the same on someone else's computer?
Thanks

To elaborate:
1. If you have Acrobat, check File: Properties: Fonts. See if all fonts are embedded. Embedded Subset is default, which is acceptable.
2. If possible disable the document fonts on your computer, then view the PDF. If the fonts still display properly you should be OK.
3. You can also view the PDF on another computer to ensure the fonts display properly.

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.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

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:

Collect Feedback workflow with pdf documents

Hi,
Is it possible to incorporate collect feedback workflow with pdf documents ?
Thanks
techie

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to incorporate collect feedback workflow with pdf documents.
Before you add a workflow, you plan where you want to add it (for a single list or library, or for the entire site collection) and the details of how it will work.
If you want to add the pdf documents to a library, you can add the collect feedback workflow for a library. Please refer to:
https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/All-about-Collect-Feedback-workflows-a0fd6fc5-0625-4aef-a41f-40aadbc9d946#add1add
If you want to make the pdf documents as a template of a content type, you can
add the collect feedback workflow for a content type. Please refer to:

Link/embed document into pdf to travel with pdf

Can I embed fonts in a pdf document?

I wish to publish a Pages document and to do this I need to convert it to pdf and ensure that my fonts can be embedded into the pdf document. I am not sure how to proceed. How do you embed fonts in PDF from Pages 4.1?

Preview does a nice job of embedding fonts. You can open a pdf with non-embedded fonts in Preview and then print->save as pdf creates one with fonts embedded. I had seen this in MacOSX Hints originally and it works for me.
For seeing what fonts are embedded (or not), pdffonts is a very nice utility, which i think now comes with poppler, or you can build from their git.

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.

BEx broadcasting: Font types in pdf-documents

Hi folks,
I got a report designed in BEx report designer. In this report I use certain font types. However, when I broadcast this report to our SAP Netweaver Portal as pdf these font types get lost, i.e. the texts in the generated pdf-documents are in other fonts. Do I have to install these fonts on our system? If so, how can this be done? Where can I see the current standard fonts on our system?
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

Dear Thomas,
After creating a report in Report Designer,just go to Report->Execute.
This will open that report in Web Analyzer.Just check whether your font types are shown as you configured in the report.
If this works as expected,then you will get a report with configured fonts, after you broadcasted into portal.
Make sure that you made teh following settings for the report while broadcasting
Distribution Type : Broadcast to the Portal
Output Format : PDF
Under "General Precalculation" tab,
Portal Theme: SAP Standard
Proper "Layout" tab options.
Hope this will help you.
Please revert me in case of any clarifications.

Fonts problems with PDF reports and Lexmark printers

Hi,
since yesterday we use Oracle Reports Services 10.1.2.3.0 as our productive reports services.
When we print PDF reports on one of the following printers, the fonts size isn't correct (in the report defined as font size 8, on the paper the font size is about 16!).
- Lexmark T620 PS3
- Lexmark W820 PS3
The printers work correct if I print out a PDF file via Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Best regards
Flo

Hi,
I'm afraid that this was a couple of years ago so I can't remember the font we used.
If memory serves then I think it is something to do with True Type fonts.
Have you searched Metalink? I think that's where I originally got some advice about the fonts in PDF documents.

Hi,
we don´t have many options for setting the font type and size in an ABAP list. One option is that you print the output using either SmartForms or AdobeForms, where you can control font type as well as size. This one requires additional work.
Another option is to use the instruction Print-Control:
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 1 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 1 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 5.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 5'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 2 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 2 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

Font in all PDF documents is wingdings - in all readers

Hi,
No matter what PDF reader I use and no matter what PDF document I use, this is what the PDF file looks like:
http://i.imgur.com/XppSj.png
This happens in all PDF readers EXCEPT for xpdf, leading me to believe that for some reason poppler is creating some issues and is using wingdings for some reason. I tried reinstalling it, but nothing. I tried installing the ttf-ms-fonts (and relevant packages), nothing. For the record, the PDF is not in cyrillic, and I did even try changing the locale back to en_US.UTF-8. I also do have poppler-data installed.
I also tried other documents (such as those from Google Analytics), the problem persists.
Help?

No, I have not. Firefox text & font options are default. Driver-wise, yes, this is up to date. I should note that in the case of Google Spreadsheets, the text appears briefly before disappearing.
This would have led me to believe it was one of my addons, but the safe mode test dismissed that idea.

Preview seems having problem with relative link with PDF documents

Hello,
I have a PDF file which I've added relative hyperlinks to it (to an html file). I did it with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 (for Windows). I have a link which is a custom action: Open a web link. The link is defined as "../presentation/referencesechelon8.html". I need relative link because the entire web site can be deployed on a DVD instead of on a Web server.
On Windows with Firefox or IE everything is working flawlessly. On the Mac side, it's working with Safari since it's using Adobe Reader to read the PDF. However, with other browsers using Mac built-in PDF viewer, Preview 3, it is not working at all. In the pdf document Preview 3 is unable to reconstruct the original url from the relative link. Instead it points to http://../presentation/referencesechelon8.html which is not correct.
Does anyone have an idea? I've googled a lot and did not find anything. My next try will be to use a Javascript to reconstruct the url.
Thank you in advance!

TS3048 Scrolling problems with PDF documents

Whenever I open a PDF document in my mac, I am unable to use the mouse to scroll, print or close the documents. I do not have any such problems while working with any other documents i.e. MS OFFICE etc. Why is this problem and what could be the solution?

When you say "Acrobat", do you mean Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro? Or do you mean Adobe Reader?
If it is Adobe Acrobat, I would go to the preflight option and see what information you get there. But no, I have not had the problem myself.
