Output font looks faded

When I rendor a form with the "LiveCycle Forms Server" the resulting screen and printed output is darker and slightly larger than the exact same templated generated from Output Server.  Why is that and can anything be done about it?
Thanks!!

I'm not sure that's entirely possible. I'm pretty sure both Forms and Output use the same library for font rendering.

  • How come when i copy a color from one page to another, the color looks faded?

    I'm using the same color in a multi-page layout. When i copy a color box from one page to another, the color looks faded on some pages. WHY?! Thanks!

    So i checked the blend spaces - both are CMYK (as this doc will be offset printed). Something really strange is happening! See attach below: the 2 blues (same setup/blend space, color breakdown, etc...) look different! And my client is PICKY! ugh. HELP! Thanks again!

  • Keynote PDF output: fonts appear "bold", milky background

    Hello,
    we observed two problems when exporting a Keynote presentation into PDF ("export" and "print" exhibit the same behaviour):
    (1) when opening the PDF in Preview, the medium-size fonts appear to be "bolder" than in the presentation, small fonts look OK. We have tried several fonts (e.g. Trebuchet), the effect seems to be independent of the font. Colors look exactly as in the presentation.
    (2) when opening the same PDF in Acrobat 8 Pro on either Mac or PC, the fonts look OK but all colours look as if through a "milky glass layer". This is an effect which is probably related to some color space conversion.
    A similar topic was discussed last November, but no satisfying solution was presented. Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

    It doesn't seem to matter what the Registry/Ordering is - I still get the error. I do recall that setting it to something known like Adobe and Japan1 had other effects, though, such as incorrectly chosen glyphs, though those could have been related to other issues we had at the time.
    Since any value seems to prompt the issue, it leaves me even more confused as to what could be the root of this problem. Distiller seems to bypass embedding CMaps by using the "Identity" encoding and simply writing the glyph indeces into the text stream. Does Preflight just not like embedded CMaps?
    I have uploaded a sample document to acrobat.com if anyone wants to take a look. It has several changes from the original description, in an attempt to root out the problem. Here is the URL:
    https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=4284cd55-d710-411f-8a91-51359564a78b
    Thanks again for any help.

  • On Google Chrome the Adobe edge web font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this?

    I have created a website with Adobe Muse and I am using an adobe edge web font that looks great on all browsers except for google Chrome... On chrome the font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this??? Thanks.

    Thank you Sanjit,
    I have redone the site using using the font TREBUCHET. The font that I was using that was giving me the problem was EXO which is an Adobe Edge Web font. I'd rather use EXO... Here is a screen shot of a sample page, areas where the type looks especially messed up are circled in red.
    This only happens when opened in Google Chrome on a Windows PC. However it looks fine with Chrome on my MAC.

  • Saving as PDF: fonts look crappy?

    I have a small test .psd image with just one piece of text. When I save this as .pdf from Photoshop CS4 (using Save As and choose Photoshop PDF format) and open the .pdf with Acrobat 9, the font looks pretty messed up. Here's an example of what I mean:
    http://i26.tinypic.com/5flp2p.jpg
    I have attached the example .psd (and saved .pdf) here.
    Now the strange thing is: it doesn't happen *always*, sometimes the PDF looks all right. I can't seem to detect what it depends on. I have plenty of available RAM and harddisk space, that's for sure. It seems to occur especially when I already have another PDF open in Acrobat as well. For example, if I copy the test.pdf from above zip to test2.pdf, then open one in Acrobat, then the other, the first may look all right (not always) and the 2nd usually looks messed up.
    What's going on? I'm not sure if this is a problem with Acrobat rather than PS, but it happens ONLY with PDFs I save from PS. Never with PDFs from any other source.
    Thanks in advance if someone can clear this up!

    Font embedding rules, for sure. If a font is considered "locked" and thus un-embeddable, any program is required to convert it to contours as per the PDF language ruels. By keeping a document open under the same name you may just trigger that weird behavior and PS is just not good at it. On the other hand, you could just use a wrong PDF preset and it flattens things to a low quality. As a third possibility, PS could jsut embed the font name reference and then for some inconceivable reason it doesn't get associated in Acrobat. Hard to tell. I'm just not in the mood to do any deeper investigation after a hot, long day full of work, so maybe someone else has a better answer for you...

  • Exporting PDF format for web viewing, fonts look bad

    Hey everybody I'm relatively new to indesign so sorry if this is a simple one. I'm doing a newsletter in indesign, which will be used stricktly for web viewing. Whenever I export the file as a pdf the body text fonts look a bit off, as though they are slightly pixelated around the edges. This is not as noticable in the artcile titles with larger font, but any smaller font (i'm using size 14, and futura book) and it gets this pixelation, it is even more noticeable in the thinner type sets of the font. Another odd thing is the first page of the newsletter the fonts are more messed up looking than the following pages where the same font types and sizes are used, the only major difference is the first page has a photo on it, but the fonts that look weird are below the photo not overlaying it or anything like that. I turned off all the compression on the pdf export, also tried it will varying amounts of compression but still have the same issue. And I am viewing this in Mac's Preview program, not acrobat.

    Ok, just checked through all the flattening preview highlights and everything looked fine in that. Since my exported document looked perfectly fine in acrobat, but sort of pixelated in mac's preview, is there any way around that?
    If you are serving the PDF via a web address it will very likely be viewed in a browser (not downloaded and opened in an app like Preview or Reader). All of the browser displays have slightly different anti-aliasing, which you can see if you zoom in on a screen capture of the text. Here's a line of text from your PDF at 100%, magnified to 400% in Photoshop. From top to bottom Safari, Chrome, Firefox:
    There's nothing you can do about the anti-aliasing quality of the different browsers and apps. The PDF you posted has live transparency, so it isn't a flattening issue.

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

  • MY FONT LOOKS DIFFERENT IN INDESIGN PAGES PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Hello, I have a majo problem here. I have all my pages written in one font, Arial Narrow, however the width of the font looks different from page to page, it looks bold on page 1 and 2, and on page 3 it looks fine,  is there any invisible setting applied to the whol page? why does it look bold? I did try toprint them, they do look different, also, there is no stroke  set, i checked, and color is set to black not registration. Is there anything else I am missing???? Please help!!!!

    Transparency isn't something you would adjust, per se.
    Imported art may have transparency in it (like a transparent background), or you may have applied an effect like a glow or a drop shadow, or used a blending mode (all of which are transparency effects) on an object on your document page, or even adjusted an object's opacity in the effects panel to make the background show through (this is true tranparency inthe classic sense). Any of these things will result in ID redrawing the page and "emboldening" the type on that page.
    There is no way to remove the eefect other than to remove the transparency from the page (if you are showing the icons for it in the pages panel, whcih you set in the panel options, you'll see a small checkerboard next to the page icon in the panel if there is transparency in use). To assure that all pages look the same if you are going to use transparency on any page, you can add a transparent object to the master page.

  • Fonts look bad in OSX jagged text

    Hello
    I thought apple gave us font smoothing in OSX! My fonts look terrible in QuarkXpress6.0. Is this what I have to look forward to? I miss my ATM.
    I did the "font smoothing thing" in appearence-no change.
    Also will all my older fonts from when I used OS 7 +8, will these still work in OSX? and by Quark XPress?
    Please enlighten me!
    all fonts look bad; Goudy old style, bellvue etc. (postscript type 1)
    imac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   21" screen

    if I zoom out in Quark to view document at say 125% the 45 pt type really looks bad
    Hmm. I'm unable to duplicate your problem. I've pasted some random text into Quark, sized it to 45 pt and set the zoom to 125%. No matter if I go up or down, the fonts look very smooth with both Goudy Old Style and News Gothic (I have the Adobe version, not MT, which is from MonoType). Well, if I look real close, I can see a little bit of jaggies around curves. But nothing very noticable.
    Is your 21" monitor a CRT or LCD? LCD always produce the best image when used at their native resolution. A CRT's best display varies depending on whether it has a shadow mask or aperture grill tube. If your monitor has an independent control for sharpening, it may be too high.
    I have some fonts installed that I don't know where they came from ex: News Gothic MT (Microsoft I think) Will these view and print okay in any program?
    As long as it's a standard Mac suitcase style TrueType font, or a complete and proper Type 1 PostScript font, it should just as well as any other.
    I keep all my fonts in classic folder and manage w/font book (thats another story) It seems that my classic apps, Illustrator, see most of the fonts all the time eventhough I turned many off in fontbook. Also illustrator doesn't see ALL the fonts.
    That's a handful. When it comes to Classic, the rules are a little different. Fonts you manually place into the OS 9 Fonts folder, or are put there by the OS when activating them from Font Book with OS 9 as the choice to be activated for, fonts are then available to both Classic and OS X.
    If you deactivate them in Font Book, the fonts will become unavailable to OS X apps. However, any Classic apps will continue to see them until you shut down all OS 9 applications and Classic. In other words, once you open fonts for Classic, they can't be closed to Classic without shutting the entire environment down. Confused yet?
    As far as Illustrator not seeing all the fonts, that relates to this part of your question:
    Please explain the limitations of classic apps and fonts.
    Classic can use any fonts that were in existence for the Mac before OS X. All of your older Mac TrueType and Type 1 PostScript fonts will work in OS X and Classic. Fonts that will work as is in OS X that you couldn't use before on a Mac are PC TrueType fonts. If you have copied any of the OS X .dfonts into the OS 9 Fonts folder, those will not work. A .dfont is a variation of a TrueType font, with the data in the data fork rather than the resource fork as they are with the older Mac TrueType fonts. Neither OS 9 or any Classic apps can read these fonts. Those are likely the ones not showing up in Illustrator.
    It sounds like you do a lot of work with fonts. While Apple has improved Font Book quite a bit in Tiger, it's still very much a consumer font manager for those who handle fonts only occasionally. You'd be much better off using a font manager such as Suitcase X1 or Font Agent Pro.

  • How do I see what Fonts look like?

    I have been using Appleworks for the past 8 years and I am switching over to Pages. I miss the simplicity of the word processing tool bar of Appleworks particularly, the font selector which I was able to quickly see what the fonts looked like. Is there an easy way to replicate this with Pages or do I need to open up the FontBook and just use that?
    Thom

    Hi Thom
    To see what the font looks like go to Format - Font - show fonts. This gives you the font window. At the bottom left hand corner of the font menu there is a +, - and a flag keys. Click on the flag key and choose 'show preview'. A window comes up above the menu with sample of font chosen.
    Welcome to Pages,

  • Monaco Font Looks Too Wide To Display on Konsole

    I use Monaco as the default font of konsole. The bold format of Monaco font looks too wide to display a complete letter.
    As shown in the picture, the last character of the file name disappears.
    I also disselect the Draw intense colors in bold font checkbox in the konsole profile. It does not work. How could I fix that problem?

  • Font looks weird on mac

    Hi,
    I'm working on a pc. I'm using a dynamic font which I've
    embedded into my .swf file and the file looks exactly the same on
    my sister's, and my computer at work - both pc's - as it does on my
    pc. But on my cousins computer - a mac- the font looks the same
    except one character, the "W", always looks kinda filled in, making
    it look a little different from the rest. All words are in caps, so
    I've only embedded caps. How do I stop this?
    Can anyone help?

    well you could 'break apart' the text, unless it is dynamic
    text you are changing, this in effect changes the text into vector
    art. If the font is embedded it should display the same even on a
    MAC, it might have something to do with it not being a fixed with
    font or the fact that you have the text box placed at a non-integer
    point, say x: 102.3 y: 72.1 This might cause the Mac to skew the
    letter, make sure the text box is 102,72. Not sure why flash needs
    to have points of a pixel anyway!

  • Font looks weird

    Hello.
    Since a previous update, my font looks like this:
    Starting in safe mode fixes it, but when I try by disabling plugins/addons/extension it still stays. What can I do?
    Thanks

    Honestly Jamie, I don't think you lose any noticeable features by having that unchecked. Only graphics nerds are able to tell the difference in my opinion. lol
    Everytime I hear about this feature I expect sharper videos with HD like quality or images that look as good as they do on iPhones. But what hardware acceleration '''really''' does is display your web pages as fast as it can. So you go: "Whoa, that loaded fast!". And that's basically all I think it does. That and maybe improve the clarity of fonts... except in your case. :P
    Also the fancier your graphics card, the faster your pages will load and I guess the better your fonts will look.

  • JDeveloper11g - code editor font looks horrible

    Why is it that my preferred coding font (Consolas - fixed-Width font) looks like sh.t in JDeveloper 11g? And is there any way to improve that?
    I'm using Java6
    -J.

    Frank,
    It would be nice if JDeveloper team can add support for additional nice looking fonts in the next release. The default fonts in Micorsoft Visual Studio in Vista looks really great. If the above is not possible, I would appreciate if you can add support for "courier" font (not courier new) since that is one of the fonts that I think will be used by a lot.
    Thanks
    Bala.
