Not embed fonts saving as pdf

Hi everyone
Just a quick question.. before I start to dig myself.
We save our LC design forms in the source format .xdp. When we publish them we select File > saveAs and choose dynamic pdf.
but LC designer will always embed fonts in the pdf. We have to open our pdf in LC designer a remove 'embed font' under File > Form properties (this can only be fone to a pdf, so we need an additional save as ZZZZZZZ).
Question:
Anyone have solution on setting LC designer ud to not embed fonts when saving and xdp to dynamic pdf? is the a config file or registry setting to edit?
help is very welcome

hi Jyske,
What you can do is to add the following line in the .tds (template) files that Livecycle uses:
<?templateDesigner SavePDFWithEmbeddedFonts 0?>
and this just before the closing </template> element in the xml source.
You find these templates in the <Livecycle Designer Installation folder>\EN\Templates

Help! Pictures are not shown when saving to PDF. Cannot Preview Print Job.

I guess you need to fix it
Or if you would like some help provide some information - there are no mind reader supporting this forum and we can only work with the information you give us - right not that is "it does not work"
iPhoto has no "save to PDF" function - exactly what are you doing? and what exactly do you want to do?

Preview is not rendering fonts well in PDFs

Hi,
For some reason Preview is not rendering fonts well in PDFs. I have created high quality PDFs using two applications (Illustrator CS5 and Numbers '09) and in both cases the fonts are not rendering correctly in Preview. They generally look much less sharp. I am attaching screenshots below, with the original image first and then the PDF in Preview.
When I look at the same PDFs in Acrobat Pro the fonts look fine, so I am presuming that the issue is with Preview. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Thanks,
Nick

It looks like, at least in the Navigation menu, that your using Palatino font, which isn't a web safe font. So Explorer is probably substituting another font when it finds fonts not installed on the viewers computer.
You may be using the default font in a particular iWeb theme. These aren't necessarily web safe fonts.
For your pages to look better on most computers, change all your fonts to web safe fonts which you can find in the "font inspector window" in iWeb. (there is a "font" button on the bottom edge of the main iWeb window) There, you will find different categories of fonts, you want to use any of the fonts listed under "Web" group of fonts.

How to specify to the JRC to not embed fonts in PDF ?

I don't want the JRC to embed fonts in the generated pdf, could you please tell me the way to do this ?
Thanks in advance
Florian

I think there's no option for this. Though, using JRC's before the JRC included with Crystal Reports for Eclipse V2.0 will default to this behavior.

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.

I Need to Embed Fonts in my PDF

Hi,
I am trying to upload a pdf into a website but they say there is an error that's stopping the process from going ahead. Apparently I have to embed the fonts in my pdf first.
I've done quite a bit of online research and found several ways of doing this - none of which seem to be possible to me!
Is there a way that I can embed fonts without having to buy something? I have Adobe Reader, Digital Editions... but I have no idea if I have anything else (Acrobat?). I haven't deliberately bought it, but this is a brand new top-of-the-range, expensive laptop so I don't know if would have already been installed? Windows 8.2 means that it's harder than ever to navigate your way around the computer.
Thank you in advance,
zengirluk

I have Adobe Reader!
I just made a document in word and saved it as a pdf.
I have downloaded the trial version and gone through the steps as described here:
https://lvb.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/doc/embedfonts.pdf
Now about to upload to the website... I'll let you know if it's worked. I have a feeling it won't have because I don't have a printer and didn't print it out. The method described above wanted me to print the document out. However I don't want or need to. I just want to embed the fonts so the website accepts my document!

How to embed font into generated PDF?

Hi,
I have an issue with cyrillic fonts in PDF-file, generated from smartform using the following mechanism:
1. Run FM for smartform with ==> getotf = 'X'
2. Perform CONVERT_OTF retrieving result into a XSTRING.
3. Converting xstring content into a table using "cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix).
4. Creating mail to an external internet user with attached pdf ==> using "cl_document_bcs=>create_document..."
Smartform contains cyrillic content, based on HELVCYR (Helvetica cyrillic) font. Application server is based on Windows.
Everything worked well (for months!) for allmost all of the clients of our customer. Of course, some of clients have different OS-es (such as Linux, Mac OS, etc.), and then the problem starts - they doens't view properly the cyrillic content. English content (even numbers, etc.) are properly displayed. We found what fonts are used in the PDF, but my questions are:
1. Is it possible to embed the font into generated PDF-content?
2. If no, is it possible to generate PDF-content non-selectable (i.e. in some image mode) ?
If yes, how to do this?
Or is there any other way to workarround this issue - to be able to display mail with attached PDF-content with cyrillic on different OS-es? It would be better if it is possible without calling external converter...
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ivaylo Mutafchiev

Hello Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
There is no way we can control the fonts in the created PDF / while creating the PDF using the class cl_document_bcs in your PDF creation logic.
You can try some other approach of creating PDF from the Smartforms OTF stream data .
Try using the follosing FM for the PDF creation and sending email:
CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF
CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL
SO_OBJECT_SEND
CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL_NEW (Try this but this FM still uses the class that you are using currently. But give it a try and see the results)
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Greetson

Cannot Embed font into InDesign PDF

I am on ID CS5 Win7 and when exporting to PDF smallest file size get this message. I bought the font form Comicraft and used it before In Ilustrator without probolem, but this is my first time using the font in InDesign.
Now I am just trying to send a pdf for client review, and can probably find a way to bitmap the pages font. My main concern will be how can I make a pdf-X for final printing?

Mike Gondek2 wrote:
Comicraft replied back sayng that their fonts can be embedded. I believe my problem is that I converted the font to PC and Fontlab turned that option on by default for a .ttf font. Unfortunately looking into their liscening agreements I cannot convert their fonts to another platform, so will have to convert this ID file over to mac and work on my slower older mac system to finish off this client approved job.
I was surprised to find out that Comicraft allows
Once a design is approved for release I need to send this to a printer to print.
Can I?
Send a copy of a font to a printer only so they can image the file? This is what most all printers request, only very few accept PDF-X.
Embed the font into a PDF, and send the PDF?
Outline the font and send this legally (hate to do this cause file size gets so large, and occasionally I have them do small type changes).
RESPONSE: Any of those options are fine. If you send the fonts, please remind them to delete them when the job is finished.
thanks!
This probably differs per vendor, but wanted to share what I found out.
That's seems in direct contradiction to the information on the FAQ page. I did see on the site that they would sell you a version for the new platform for 20% of your original cost -- I'd opt to get an OpenType version.

Dimmed images are not dimmed after saved as PDF.. please help!

Hi,
After dimming multiple images in AI, they are dimmed in the program but once i preview the pdf I saved of the .ai file, the images are not dimmed. What am i missing?
Thanks!

Dim is an Illustrator layer options attribute, that does not tranfer over to the .pdf. You will have to either group all in the layer and set transparency to you dim percentage, or draw a white rectangle and fill that with a percentage of white.

How do you swap out an embed font in a PDF form

Here is my problem, I am trying to get ride of a specific font in a PDF form file.
Before I applied this font "SimSun-GBK-EUC-H(Embedded Subset) the file was roughly 150KB. After I applied this font the file size increased to 800 KB. The major problem is this font requires an extended language pack to be installed, in order to fill out this PDF form. My computer is installed so it won't be an issue so me, however it will be a huge pain in the butt for the public who usually don't have the extended language pack. I have already finished editing the rest of the form, I really hope there is a way to swap out this font within something else.
Any suggestions?
Update
I decided to redo the form from beginning, just by a small little mistake I added a reset button that uses a different font, now the file size jumped from 150KB to 1.2MB.
I check the file and found 92% of the file size is occupied by Fonts. How do I get swap the font? How do I optimize it?
Thanks!
Thansk!

By Popup do you mean a link that when clicked causes a separate topic to be displayed in a seperate window (popup) or Drop Down text?
For Popups that are displayed in a new window then the font and colour is changed in the topic that is displayed. Simply open the topic and change colours / features as required
If you are using drop down text and confusing this with a popup then the font and colour is changed when creating the drop down text. Right click the text and select Font to change colour etc.

AICS3 objects outside trim not included in saved-as .pdf

I often have objects (marks, info text) outside of the document trim but within the bleed allowance set for a page that I want to be included when I print. The trouble is, when I save the file as pdf, some of those items drop out.
So, printing the doc to a printer or as .ps to Distiller the objects are retained. Saving-As pdf objects are lost.
Does anyone have info on this or know if it is an issue resolved in CS4?
Thanks, Dan

Of course the other way is to save as EPS with hand-made crop marks and bleed. Then use Distiller and you don't have to bother with the artboard. Have it as big as you like. An old-fashioned way, but it still works :-) If you save your EPS With Placed Images you don't have to bother with embedding unless you're using effects. No need for a preview either. Distiller does just about everything for you as long as you select the right settings.

Export to PDF - Does not embed font

Hello,
I have created my CV in Pages. However when exporting the file as a PDF, my chosen font refuses to embed/render when I open it on a Windows computer. The specific error is:
Cannot extract the embedded font 'LSHFUS+MuseoSlab-100'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
The resulting PDF displays correctly on my Mac, iPad and iPhone, but not on any Windows computer.
Can anyone suggest what I might do to get this to work in Windows, and whether there are other applications available that help with exporting Pages documents to PDF?
Thanks,
Saj

Thanks for posting the links Koenig, hopefully we can figure out whether it is a font issue or a Windows issue. It's impractical to stop using non standard fonts, so I really don't want to go down the route of just using Arial/Verdana in my documents.
I'm not the one urging you to do that. I think that we must be free to choose our fonts (even ugly ones if we want and I must say that I see most ugly ones than well formed ones).
I did what I was able to do:
I downloaded the fonts, used them in a document.
Print a PDF , export a PDF.
Then, I stored the two PDFs on a memory stick which I connected to an other machine which don't know what is MuseoSlab 500.
The result is exactly the one which I got on the first machine.
Also, how can I check if the font subset was embedded correctly in the PDF?
Given the behaviour described some lines above, I assume that the embedded subset is correctly formed but, I can't guarantee that.
This is why I asked peter to test because if I understand well, he has access to both operating systems.

Is it possible to embed fonts in a pdf without all the tools?

I'm preparing a book manuscript for publication (self-publishing/print-on-demand) -- and trying my best to do it on a shoestring budget of zero.
It's ready to go. I designed the cover with Pages 2.0.2.
The manuscript is in MS Word X for Mac.
But...it looks like I need Adobe tools in order to embed the fonts before uploading.
Anybody know a way around this?
Thanks

If you print to PDF, all fonts that can be embedded are embedded by default.
Some fonts have copyright restrictions, that makes it impossible for Mac OS to embed them. Some print-on-demand services, like Lulu, have had problems with the way Mac OS embeds fonts in the past. I do not know if that is still the case.
You can check which fonts are embedded in the free Adobe Reader.

How to embed fonts in a PDF

I have a book which uses Garamond Light Italic and Helvetica light Oblique. Only 2 styles of 2 fonts.
The printer wants me to embed the entire font families with the PDF files.
My problem is that I don't know how.
All I know is that it will only embed the files being used in the document.
Should I include one letter of each style of each of the 2 fonts, so that the computer will know which fonts to embed?
Or, is it as simple as entering 100% in the Subset font below window?
I'm certain there must be a better and easier way.
Also, it there a way of verifying that the proper fonts have been embeded?
Please, I need your advise.

LilyLC, All seems to have come to a conclusion this afternoon.
It seems that when I create individual pages, make PDFs of them and then merge them with PDF merge, what's happening is that the fonts are being embeded with each page. Apparently the RIP gets confused with all the fonts embeded and substitutes courier.
The printer recommends that I save the entire book as one document, and convert that document into one PDF file, thereby, embending the fonts once.
They guarantee that the book will print properly if I follow the above.
I had been reading through the printers vast instructions and noticed the paragraph relating to this problem, and they confirmed it.
They sent me a print out of the fonts embeded in my book and the 2 fonts were repeated for each page, 32 times.
I called Quark about a distiller (whatever that is) and the Custom and Roman encoding. Their answer was that none of it was Quark related. I would have to speak to Adobe.
I was made to understand that the only reason I would need a distiller is if I had postscript files to convert into PDFs. Since I was generating PDFs directly there was no need for the distiller.
I don't know how they print these books, other than the covers print RGB and the inside in CMYK. I always convert the CMYK photos.
I've been satisfied with the quality of their printing and the people, that's why I went through all the trouble to solve the problem.
I enjoy writing books for my 2 grandchildren. I've done 8 books in the past year.
You've been a big help, in that you persevered and explained in easy to understand language.
Again, thanks for all your help and to Limnos who made the original suggestion. I guess you can go back to enjoying the rest of the summer.
I will now make some reference notes for the future use.
If, by any chance this doesn't work out I'll will be posting back for additional help.

How to embed fonts in a pdf file

I have a pdf that has some fonts not embedded. I think that distiller might be able to embed the fonts when I print the pdf file, but it is inconvenient and may not always work. Is there a direct way to embed the fonts in Acrobat? Thanks!

I have the somthing like the following in Ctrl-D Fonts. They can not be embedded using the method above. I guess it is because the fonts in the original pdf are not available in the system. But how to embed the substitutes in the pdf file.
Helvetica
    Type: Type 1
    Encoding: Custom
    Actual Font: Helvetica
