Missing text in book...

Hello,
I'm trying to create a party invitation & created a custom book with the text added over an image. I then exported this as a jpeg & then imported back into Aperture.
Now when I order the prints from the online service, it arrives without the text & only the image.
I'm not sure why this is, anyone have any ideas?
thanks

I'm not sure I understand what happened; can you clarify?

Missing text in books on ipad

Missing text from books downloade at times on the iPad

Try closing the iBooks app. Press the home button to get to the home screen if you're not already there. Then double click the home button. Locate the iBooks icon at the bottom. Hold your finger down on it until a red minus appears. Tap the red minus. Press the home button to return to normal. Then relaunch iBooks.
If that fails, delete the books, then you can redownload them under the Purchased tab in "Store."

Missing Text in Book - Clarification(s) requested

I recently ordered a book using iPhoto. When I received it, seven of the text pages contained no text whatsoever - only the black background.
Having read through enough information in Apple Discussions to learn how to check the contents before ordering, I find that those pages indeed do appear without text when the PDF file is generated.
Someone suggested removing iPhoto preferences. I tried this, but had no luck - the PDF file still had no text on the same pages.
Should I attempt to remove any of the printcenter preferences as well? Or are there other solutions that might work as well?
Having spent some $30 on this book, I would like to see it in its intended form one way or another.
Thanks!
Kevin

In case anyone should happen to check this topic...
I did figure out the problem, more or less. I have found that it is necessary to click somewhere outside of the area where text is typed or pasted, and then the text will appear in the preview/thumbnail - and, thus, in the book.

When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time Please Help.G
<Email Edited by Host>

Yes, you're safe to continue. That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed. That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin. Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.

Missing text in ordered books - Fixed?

I have had the problem with missing text when generating books and calendars. However, after the latest updates (6.0.4) this problem seem to be solved.
Now, when I print the books as PDF all text is placed where it is supposed to be.
Are there anyone else with the same experience?

The same thing happened to me. Although I entered all the text correctly, following instructions, there was no text at all (apart from the title on the cover) printed in the book I ordered. When I complained to Apple, I was sent to the i-photo site but can't find any mention of this problem there. I paid to have the book created according to my specifications, including the text, so I expect Apple to send me another copy, this time correctly printed. I'm using iPhoto version 6.0.3 which came with my brand-new iMac Intel OSX 10.4.6 and if this version has flaws, then it's up to Apple to warn us of the problem. I'll upgrade to iPhoto 6.0.4 but still want Apple to send me the book as I ordered it.

PDF has missing text when created from FM 9

My Software:
Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP 3
FrameMaker 9.0p255
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.4.1
When generating a PDF document from FrameMaker, the PDF document has random missing text, including whole paragraphs, sentences and some text in tables. We have several FrameMaker books and they are all having the same issues. These books were fine when we last published updates within the last month and we have not made any changes to fonts.
When generating a PDF from FrameMaker, we always print the book to a postscript file first following these steps:
- Go to File > Print Book.
- Select the Adobe PDF printer.
- Select the Print to File option and specify a .ps filename.
- Select the Generate Acrobat Data option.
- Use Acrobat Distiller to convert the PS file to PDF.
Note that I also tried File > Save As PDF and got the same results.

Did you reboot after the hotfix? fwiw, other users on the forum have had difficulty with the hotfix not being installed correctly the first time around.
once you download the hotfix from MS you have to run the .exe, and then when it’s finished you have to reboot. Then check the Add or Remove programs in Control panel, and click the “show updates” button, then scroll way down to see the hotfixes, to be sure that #952909 is shown.
What fonts are you using in your documents? Specific type (PS, TT, OTF) and any other info you have (foundry, etc).
Do the "gaps" seem to occur when there are font changes in the document, e.g. when words in a sentence are bold or when a paragraph in a different weight (e.g. bold italic) follows, say, a "regular" text weight paragraph? As another test, can you highlight a segment of good+bad+good text in the PDF, do Control+c to copy it to the clipboard, then Control+v to paste it into a different file (Word, text editor, even another new FM document). Do the words of the "missing" text segments show up?
edit: the hotfix download process is a bit confusing; if I remember correctly it has to be requested, then MS sends a link to the download webpage, then the downloaded .exe has to be run.

Missing Text In Pages 08 Document

I'm having an issue with a Pages 08 document. I recently opened it and seemingly random chunks of text are missing. The document retains the original formatting, so it looks as if the "missing" text was turned to white. But, that is not the case. It is missing altogether. What's even stranger, the missing text shows up in Quick Preview. Can anyone help?

You have to make sure you have the latest update of Pages'08. The version is 3.0.3
Also validate your fonts in the Font book in you Application folder. Delete duplicates.
It is always wise to do Repair Permission when having done a major installation like the system update.
Starts with these advises. There are others thing that can be tried too.

Pages 5.2 Table missing text when printed

I created a document with several tables. These tables contain algebra formulas with superscript. I read in another forum that the issue may be the use of the superscript. However their problem only occurred when printing the document as a PDF. I am having the problem printing from both Pages and as a PDF. Some superscript appears as it should. Not all missing text is superscript.
Any ideas? I hate to have to recreate this document in Word. I took me forever to create.
Mavericks 10.9.3
Pages 5.2

Known limitation with Pages v5.2. If you had Pages ’09 installed before the upgrade downgrade to Pages v5.2, it was moved to /Applications/iWork ’09.
You will need to export from Pages v5.2 as Pages ’09 in order to process your work in the older Pages version. You will also need to open the Pages ’09 document either through that Applications file chooser, or via the right-click, contextual menu Open with > Pages (4.3). Double-clicking with both Pages installed will default to using Pages v5.2.
LibreOffice is a free alternative to MS Word, and works better with Mavericks than does OpenOffice.

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

There is a known bug in Windows XP that causes random dropped text in
PDF. The hotfix is here, though the link does not seem to be working at
the moment:

Missing texts in WEB with F4-help combined with variable input.

I've defined a characteristic with text : short text, medium length text and long text. The texts are language independent.
I've defined a variable for this characteristic and I've defined a BEX-report that provides a variable-filter for this characteristic in the filter area. I've also set the property Display as to text or Key and Text
When I start the report the prompt-window appears and then I can perform F4 on the input field for this characteristic. Then a selection box opens showing the key and all texts - short desription, medium descr. and long desc.
If I use this report in the web-Application designer or if I launch this report directly in the WebBrowser I'll also get a selection box but no texts appear.
What can I do to see these texts also in WEB ? Where can I influence the search help for the web (in BEX it works perfectly) ?
Additional information: By defining the info object there is a tab for Business Explorer settings. For general settings I've choosen Text for the property Display. What is really strange is that in Bex-Explorer the property Display as always shows Key as a default although I've entered Text in RSA1. I've also inspected other characteristics where there are no missing texts. Here I've found out that in the info object there is Text choosen as attribut for Display -> in the Bex itself Text is shown as a default too.

Hello there,
I am having a similar problem but I have found this is due to either of two reasons.
1) The object is compounded
2) The compounded object is authorisation relavant and the security is stopping the masterdata being read properly.
Hope this helps narrow down your search.

Missing text in RoboHelp 7 when previewing/generating Frame files

This is a new issue for me. Until last week, it seemed to work fine. Now, though, whenever I import by reference my frame files I have noticed that, while they look fine in the Design view, when I click Preview it has missing text in parts. In one file, which was all text (no graphics), it was completely in Preview. Then, when I generated the help, that topic was still blank.
This doesn't always happen, though. Sometimes a topic is fine up to a point, then, all the text is gone, leaving only the screenshots. It generates that way also. On the other hand, some files come out fine, with no missing text. (This is only apparent in the Preview and generated help.)
I'm using TCS 1, that has RoboHelp 7, and I generate to WebHelp. I've applied an update that makes it 7.01.001. I've also applied the "missing space" fix that Peter Grainge suggested (it worked ).
Like I said, TCS worked fine up to last week, then I started seeing these missing chunks of text. I tried creating a new RH project and starting all over, importing only one small file that had all text and no screenshots/graphics. Both the preview and generated help came out blank, although I could see it plainly in the Design view before generating.
Has anyone else had this issue, or know what it might be?

Below is from one topic that didn't show any content at all for Preview or generated output, (taken from RH). That is, it showed nothing when I opened it in IE9, but in Firefox it displayed just fine. I tried replacing <head> with the one above (in the output), but it didn't seem to do anything. I'll keep trying, though!

<h1><a name=XREF_File_Transfer></a>File Transfer</h1>
The File Transfer dialog allows users of client-only
installations who are remotely connecting to the Host Server to manipulate
the files on the remote machine.
Use the File Transfer dialog to copy files to a fixed
directory on the server called shared_files.
This directory resides within the root. A status dialog opens during the
operation showing progress, and includes the file name and the percentage
of the operation that is complete/remaining.
The shared_files directory
is automatically created the first time File Transfer is used. 
<h2>Using the File Transfer</h2>
Select File>File Transfer
to open the File Transfer dialog.
<div style="text-align: center;" align=center>
<implicit_p><img id=15 src="ide300016.jpg" style="width: 320.999pt; height: 238.499pt;"
width=428 height=318 border=0>
</div>
 
The shared_files folder is
the top-level folder from which users manage files and folders. 
<h2>Menu Bar Options</h2>
<h3>File Menu</h3>
New Folder 
Creates a new directory on the server within the user-selected folder.
Type the new folder name in the Create New Folder dialog and click OK. 
Transfer File 
Specifies a local file to transfer to the server. Once the file is selected,
the user can initiate the file transfer.
Move Folder/File 
Moves a file or directory from one location within the shared_files
hierarchy to another location.
Rename Folder/File 
Renames a directory or file within the shared_files
hierarchy. Type the new name in the Rename File/Folder dialog and click
OK. 
Delete Folder/File 
Removes a directory or file from the remote server. 
Properties 
Shows information about the selected remote file or directory, including
file size, modification time, and name.
Refresh 
Updates the screen to show the latest information.
Close 
Closes the dialog. 
NOTE: Right-clicking a folder or file
on the File Transfer dialog opens a pop-up menu with the same File menu
options (except Close).
<h2>Status dialog</h2>
To monitor the progress of the transfer, a status dialog
opens when a file transfer begins. 
<div style="text-align: center;" align=center>
<implicit_p><img id=16 src="ide300017.jpg" style="width: 314.249pt; height: 149.250pt;"
width=419 height=199 border=0>
</div>
 
The following information is provided:
File 
Names the local file being copied.
Status 
Specifies the text status of the copy operation.
Copied To 
Specifies the destination file location on the server.
X of Y 
Specifies the number of bytes transferred out of the total number of bytes.

Progress Bar 
Provides a visual indicator of the copy operation’s progress.
<h2>Additional Information on the File Transfer</h2>
<h3>Concurrency and Synchronization</h3>
Only one file copy operation can occur at a time. Multiple
users can, however, transfer files to the server simultaneously and manage
separate folders on the server. 
<h3>Security</h3>
Users cannot manage files and folders outside of the
shared_files root.

Missing text in PDF when I use Acrobat 9.2 and FM 9

I was able to PDF ok from FM9 using Acrobat 6, but when I upgraded to Acrobat 9.2,
I'm getting some missing text in the PDF. Some non-bold text is missing. The number
for Chapter 3 is missing in the TOC. Any suggestions?

I was able to PDF ok from FM9 using Acrobat 6, ...
What font name, format (TTF, PFB/PFM, OTF?) and vintage?
Did you upgrade the fonts when upgrading the apps?
Any chance you have multiple copies of the same typeface name installed? Historically, having both the TTF and PFM (Type 1) of the same name installed could have undesired results.
... but when I upgraded to Acrobat 9.2, I'm getting some missing text in the PDF. Some non-bold text is missing.
What is "some text"? Some entire typefaces (all text thereof), or just some characters of a typeface, like, say, the ligatures in Helvetica.
The number for Chapter 3 is missing in the TOC.
What font is Frame looking for?
Also, are you embedding the fonts during PDF creation?

Using Create PDF from Web Page; Resulting PDF is missing text

Trying to create pdf's from various web pages. Generally process works very well but some pages have missing text and bad formatting. Specifically; http://www.robinhood.ca/Recipes/Occasions/Spring/Apricot-Tartlets
When I create the PDF; I am missing the text under "directions" and the description is truncated and forced to the far right.
Seems like I am missing a formatting or font setting but I have adjusted everything I can think of and have had no luck.
Running Acrobat Pro XI.
Anybody have any thoughts?

yes; looking at the source; seems that <table> is being captured correctly but the part that is missing is a <div>. I'm not an expert at deciphering the page source but seems like that is the problem.
Is there a work around?
when I print via the firefox plugin it prints fine. but i ultimately want to capture several layers on the site if I can get the formatting resolved.

Missing text after EXPORT from PMD to PDF

Hi,
I have a document, designed through Adobe pagemaker 70, which I would like converted to PDF. Within Adobe PageMaker 70 I performed a File-->Export-->Adobe PDF, kept all the default options and managed to generate a PDF version of the *.PMD document. However, some of the text in the PDF document is missing. I searched on the internet and discovered one can do Document-->Examine Document within Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to display any hidden text. Doing this I was able to see the missing text.
There is an image in the source Pagemaker document, but the image is not square but cropped along it's outside edge and the text flows around the edge (hope that makes sense). What's puzzling is that in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro the generate PDF has the image displayed in a box and some (not all) the text behind this box is shown as hidden, where as in the source document all text flowing around the image is visible.
Can anyone please help with this problem and tell me how I can get the hidden text in my PDF document to display so it's visible in an Acrobat Reader or when printed?... I am still a bit of a newbie with both Pagemaker and Acrobat so your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sharon
PS: I have not uploaded the file but do not mind doing so if some one is able to help and requests either the source PMD file or the generated PDF file

Hi,
The "question mark" displayed may be refereed to the missing font.
Are you trying to convert a public web page? if yes then please share a link so that i can also test it.
Regards,
Anoop

Missing Text when using CONVERT to PDF

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 in Wnidows 7 and Microsoft Publisher 2003.
When I use the CONVERT command to create a PDF - it is missing all of the text on the master page.
If I create the PDF with the PRINT command - everything is OK.
PS: The same Publisher File on another computer using Acrobat Pro 8 works fine - CONVERT or PRINT and no missing text
I prefer to use convert because sometimes the PRINT command drops some of the hyperlinks.
[edited by forum host - email removed]

Hi,
Could you mail be the file with which you are seeing the issue. I will investigate at my end to see what the issue is. You can mail me at [email protected]
Thanks,
