.pages .pdf font change

I created a newsletter in pages and I need to send it as a PDF via email. The newsletter looks great in pages, but when I export it to a PDF, the font changes (it becomes larger and bolder). Anybody seen this before?

The problem is most probably due to the font used and you have still said not which it is and what type of font.
If you have installed other applications there is also a strong possibility there are multiple versions of the same font on your system. Word for instance installs truetype versions of system fonts with exactly the same names.
You will need to resolve any such conflicts using either OSX's Font Book or a 3rd party font manager.

PDF Fonts change when viewed in Adobe Reader

I'm producing a PDF which will be viewed online. It's being creating in Pages 09 and I export it to PDF.
In Preview the PDF is fine - no problems. But when I view it in Adobe Reader the fonts have changed. I've tried all the fonts listed in the Font collection "PDF" and most recommended for Web.
Just to give you a couple of examples Times becomes blurry in Reader, while Helvetica looks more like Verdana.
I didn't have this problem prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard. I'd really appreciate if anyone could help with this. Thanks.

Peter, my apologies for not getting back to you sooner than this, I've been away from my Mac since I posted this.
Thank you for your very kind offer to look at the files for me. In between time a friend has been over and apparently altered some settings on my iMac and the problem seems to have been resolved. (I hope!)
Thanks again - I daresay I'll be back with more questions before long...

How do I globally change the font across all pages in a multi-page PDF document

I have a 500 page document. I suceeded in changing only the font on the first page using Acrobat Pro and selecting "Edit Text and Images", selecting "All" on the first page and changing the font. It worked perfectly. Now I want to apply that font change to the remaining 499 pages. Any ideas?

Sorry Bill, not how it works. You can select text across a page boundary using the normal multi-select tool for copying, but you cannot edit across a page boundary. If you try to activate the ETI tool from the Content Editing panel or use the context menu "Edit Text" item, Acrobat will trim the selection to the current page only.
The previous two responses are correct - you must either repeat the edit by hand on every page, or go back to the original document and make the changes there (which is the expected workflow for such a drastic alteration).

Report Server 10g - unexpected font change on second page of the report

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with Oracle Report server 10.1.2.3.0.
It's sometimes using an unusual font (It think it looks like a Greek one).
One example would be when a text overflow from page one to the second page it will change from Times New Roman to a "Greek" font and switches from bold to normal font it still happens in the same "Text" type item just on a new page. However when I update the text in the DB to a longer one so it flows through the whole second page to the 3rd page then it's using the correct font again.
When I open the generated PDF file in a text editor I see an unusual value in one of the font settings "/BaseFont /#53#79#6D#62#6F#6C" when I edit it manually to the value taken from another occurrence of the "BaseFont" in the same file it helps and changes the font to the correct one.
When I export the report to the PDF from report builder it's always using the correct font.
The encoded font "/#53#79#6D#62#6F#6C" translates to: "Symbol"
select CHR(TO_NUMBER('53','xx'))||CHR(TO_NUMBER('79','xx'))||CHR(TO_NUMBER('6D','xx'))||CHR(TO_NUMBER('62','xx'))||CHR(TO_NUMBER('6F','xx'))||CHR(TO_NUMBER('6C','xx')) from dual;
The correct font is as expected "Times-Roman"
I noticed that this happens only when HTML code is allowed in the Text/field. When I generate HTML version of the report I see after the page break and new table on the new page the following tag <font face="symbol">. When I set Web Setting->"Contains HTML Tags" set to NO then font stays the same even after the page break.
Did anyone experienced something similar?
Thank you,
Palo

We have had this a few times before and there are 2 ways that most likley will fix this.
If on mac close all adobe apps, do a find for all files with the .lst in their file name. Delete all you .lst files, they are font database files that go corrupt and will regenerate themselves when needed and usually a working copy.
Close any multiple master fonts you have open in fontbook, and other utility such as Suitcase. Multiple master fonts will have a filename like "Kronos mm", and in the adobe illustrator type >> font menu i believe they have a different icon (possibly a mm) than the others {a(type 1), tt(true type), O (opentype)}
Your problem is likely the 1st option, as the mm problem usually happens while editing the file, while the other is after you open the file. If you still have the problem, you then may have 2 different fonts sharing the same FOND ID number. Close as many fonts as you can, especially the one that looks like your wrong font.

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

Some font changes not displaying in PDF output

Hello,
I have Developer 2000 R 2.1 on my workstation and I produced a report from an Oracle table in PDF format. It displays different font weights, styles and colors (black or red) depending on values in a particular column. We have Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 and Reports30.
The PDF report is perfect when it is displayed through the 'Live Previewer' or displayed using 'PDF' under 'Web Preview'. After I send my 'REPORT.rtf' to the server and compile using 'conv.sh', I get a 'REPORT.rep'. When I try to display the PDF report from a web page, using 'REPORT.rep', the some font changes are missing. No italics, no bold in some instances. It does show 'red', but not in all the correct places.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for any assistance.
Paul

Hi,
the PO Output for Communication does not use the $OA_MEDIA variable so you have to provide the full path to your images, example url:{translate(concat('/d01/oracle/prodcomn/java/oracle/apps/media/',BILL_TO_LOGO),' ','')}
Hope this helps as it works for us.
Regards,
Imtiyaz

Font changes when converting MSWord to PDF

Sometimes when I convert a MSWord documents to a PDF, the font changes slightly on pages where there Figures. The font appears to be in bold.
How can I convert to a PDF and achieve a uniform look for the font throughout my documents?
I used MS Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat XI.

Are the fonts graphics or actual vector fonts? It may be that you are using a bitmap font also. If it is a true vector font, then there should be no pixel issues.

How to change link strings on multiple page PDFs - urgent please

I have several muly page PDF pages, and on each PDF page there are 20-50 different web links.
Each of the links are done as Open a Weblink, but on each one I did them like below.

How do i change a 2 page pdf document, to be a 4 page flyer..

hi
ill try to explain this as clearly as i can.
i have got a 2 page pdf document, that has data on both sides.
i need it to be 4 A5 pages at the front and back, so it folds neatly together.
so currently it prints like an duplex A4 page, and i just wondering how i can change it to be more like the flyer i have in mind.
hope that makes sense..
Im using acrobat 9 pro
Thanks
damien

You may have to crop pages to get the effect that you want. If you have the original, it would probably be easier to edit that and create a new PDF.

Automator - Change Image Type - Multiple page PDF- TIFF conversion

I was able to do this on a friend's computer (not sure which version of OS X they were running), but this seems impossible on Snow Leopard.
I need to convert hundreds of multiple page PDFs to TIFFs. I can't get this to work, and the Change Image Type option only lists single page PDF conversion. I could separate PDFs into multiple files, convert to TIFFs, but then I don't know how to recombine a bunch of TIFF pages into a larger file. From google searches, I know this is possible using tiffutil, but I don't really understand how to use that well, and I really need an automatic process.
I'm at my wits end with this, because I did it just last week on someone else's computer and it was easy as pie. Why can't you convert multiple page PDFs in Snow Leopard?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I just tried this - two problems.
It creates a separate tiff document for each page of the input pdf.
Also, this action is just annoying because it results in randomly named files in some temp folder that i can only locate using the reveal finder item action. I know I can rename files in automator, but I'd really like to have the output file have the same name as the input file.
It confuses me why they would remove this functionality in Snow Leopard.

Font changes in a pdf document

A document was created in Word, converted to pdf and e-mailed to be signed and returned. Upon receipt of the signed document, it was noticed that some of the fonts had changed throughout the document. How can a font change on a pdf'd document?

Sounds like the font information was not embedded in the file. A common issue. They will need to embed those fonts and send you a different PDF.

How can I rearrange the pages in a PDF without changing the assigned paged numbers.

How can I rearrange the pages in a PDF without changing the assigned paged numbers? These correspond to the original document folio numbers.

In theory it would be possible to 'record and play back' the page numbers using a folder-level script, but it's far from trivial. You would have to use the doc.movePage() function - presumably driven by a dialog box - to do the page shuffling so there was a way to track what was being done, then swap the page 'labels' of the two affected pages. That's where it gets messy.
We have functions in the JSAPI which can read and write the page label, but they don't do things in a logical way. The 'getPageLabel()' function simply returns a string, but the 'setPageLabel()' method expects to be told the numbering scheme, prefix, etc. You'd have to parse the string and work out what scheme it was implementing.

Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word? They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF? It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix issues I had fixed in the single files. I need suggestions on what else can be done if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

Out of habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page Thumbnails pane by right-click then "Insert Pages" -> "From File". For me, this preserves the tags from both documents, although the tags may have to be moved into the right location (if I recall correctly the tags for the inserted pages get put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), If I first put the tags for the document to be inserted inside a container tag like Section, it makes the process easier. Moving that set of tags to the right place is the only re-fixing that I recall having to do. What behavior are you experiencing?
