PDF export with russian characters

I'm too having issues with Russian Character pdf export even after using latest jars from this site.
I am using RAD embedded crystal reports. I design the report in RAD in Russian Characters, Font Tahoma Size 8. The report Looks fine on screen. But after I export to PDF using Crystal Reports java APIs, some characters look jumbled and displace their positions.
It gets worse when I take a print out of the generated PDF. It shows some extra characters which are not present in report
I have arranged for screen shots.
Here is how the report looks in Crystal Reports editor in RAD:
http://picasaweb.google.com/Kumar.R.Anand/RussianPDFExport#5312667851561871138
It looks perfect here.
Here is how the report looks after pdf export:
http://picasaweb.google.com/Kumar.R.Anand/RussianPDFExport#5312667851826410162
some Characters moved to left leaving their original position empty.
here is how the pdf looks after a print:
http://picasaweb.google.com/Kumar.R.Anand/RussianPDFExport#5312667853461427426
See extra characters inserted by printer.
Please help me solve this issue.

There's "E"s in the first screen shot you have.
The "E"''s in the printed output, on the third screen shot, appears to be shifted to the left by 1/2 inch from its original location (in comparison with the first screen shot).
So my assumption is that this is a font glyph displacement issue.
The last that I've encountered this issue was with TrueType fonts not entirely compatible with Java. What happens if you look at the fontset using the Font2D sample app that comes with the Java SDK?
Does this happen if you use a different font?
Note that the old Crystal Designer in RAD uses ActiveX, so the comparison is not exact.
My inference of font size difference is relative - differences between the non-bold and bold characters - how would the screenshot affect that?
Sincerely,
Ted ueda

Problem with Russian characters in Firefox on Mac OS X 10.5

Hi everybody,
I installed the latest version of Firefox (2.0.0.9) on Mac OS X 10.5(Leopard) on my iMac (Core 2 Duo, 2.16GHz). Now when I change the language option to Russian (in Mac OSX) and type in Firefox search box (in the top right corner) I see only question marks ("????") instead of russian characters. The same happens when I open Google page in the browser and type there. Also if I bookmark a web page that contains russian character in the title, it also have "????..." instead.
However on some web pages, where I need to provide input the russian letters do show up. Also it works fine in Safari.
I didn't have this kind of issue on previous versions of Mac OSX (Tiger) and Firefox. When I installed Firefox there everything just worked fine and I didn't have to change any settings. I still have my bootable drive with this configuration and when I run it everything is fine. I tried to compare language settings and Firefox preferences and character encoding settings in Tiger and Leopard, but I don't see any difference.
I played with character encoding settings in Firefox, but that didn't fix the problem. Is it the problem of Leopard? Does anybody have the same issue? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
- Dmitri

I think this is a FireFox problem, you need to ask them to fix it and use another browser (or perhaps the Russian version of Firefox) in the meantime.

Aliased text on PDF export with blending modes

So I've had this issue with a pdf, I tried to export it CMYK, RVB, interactive pdf, regular pdf, with tons of different other options, the text was still very aliased.
I decided to take it back from scratch, openned a new document with the same size, and copied/pasted element after element from the old one to the new one, exporting as pdf between each copy/paste. The first exports went really well, the render was great… until I pasted a vector element that was applied with a blending mode (overlay).
When I switched it to normal, the pdf export was smooth again. Tried every blending mode, everyone makes the text jaggy. Switch back, it's ok. So I'm 100% sure that this comes from blending modes, as opposed to what I could have read on other forums.
This is a request, please, InDesign team, take care of this problem, this is quite annoying in many cases.
Thank you for your attention!
Twitted here as well : https://twitter.com/grinderlabs/status/448381486627311616

To minmize the possibility of rasterizing or outlining text when transparency is flattened, keep the text above any transparent objects. Blending modes, along with most effects, use transparency.
You can also minimize the risk by exporting the PDF with live transparency, which is supported in Acrobat 5 or higher compatibility.

Questions about PDF exporting with InDe CS5.5

Hey all,
A couple questions about exporting to PDF from the latest version of InDe.
First, I have noticed that it seems to take a lot longer to get to a PDF. Any suggestions for how to speed up the process? It took 8 minutes or so to generate a low-res PDF (for print) of a 24pp document with a few placed images and vector graphics. Wow, that's a long time to wait, especially for a proof.
Second, the background task... if I get it going on making that 8-minute PDF and then work some more on the document, what exactly is in the PDF? Usually I save before making a PDF or printing. So, is the last version saved what will be in the PDF?
(As an aside, this ability to work on the doc while generating a PDF seems kind of weird. Generally one makes a PDF for proofing, or even for printing, when all the changes have been made and everything is "final". So, I see no benefit to being able to work on my document while it's making a PDF, as I'm probably finished making revisions for the time being. I have to say that I kind of like the progress bar you get when you make an interactive PDF, as you know you can't work on the document when that's on the screen... )
Thanks as always.

Yes, this is abnormally long (and too long), something is wrong. What's the full version of InDesign you are running, as reported by holding down Cmd or Control and selecting About InDesign?
Second, the background task... if I get it going on making that 8-minute PDF and then work some more on the document, what exactly is in the PDF? Usually I save before making a PDF or printing. So, is the last version saved what will be in the PDF?
Saving is not related. InDesign makes a database snapshot of your document the moment you begin the PDF export, and makes the export relative to that snapshot, regardless of edits you continue to make during the export process, and regardless of saving. Of course saving first is a good idea, for several reasons, not the least of which it sounds like something's fairly seriously wrong with your document or your InDesign installation.
We recommend you trash your preferences and export your document to IDML and see if either of those things changes this 8-minute behavior...err, assuming you're running 7.5.2.318.

Yeah, I think the primary benefit is if you are likely to work on 2 or more files in parallel, so you can finish A and export A and then switch to B. If you'd like a dialog box to pop up when export is done, check out my exportPop script from this post: ANN: automatic dialog after background export (exportPop.jsx.

Problems with Russian characters in BB Bridge

Some time ago my contact list on BB 9800 was updated using Desktop software for Mac. Some of contacts were written in Russian. Same updates were made for MemoPad as well in the same manner. Everything was good on the smartphone side before I made an attempt to sync my phone with Playbook. Both sections refused to sync! After removing manually all contacts and memos with Russian font, the sync went normal again. There are a lot of problems with Playbook, which cost me my time and money. This was just one of them... Why not to say it clear - do not try to sync Russian characters?

Same problem when I use Chinese.
The only thing we can do now is to wait for an update! Which is hopefully make the Playbook worth something!

Illustrator cs6: pdf export with hks colours creates b/w pdf...

hello forum,
i have a illu cs6 document with 2 hks colours and black. with »save as...« i want to create a printable pdf. but this pdf only has black-and-white, no hks, no colours.
then i changed the hks to cmyk. now the export as pdf works with the cmyk colours.
help, please, whats wrong?
thanks :-)

Try using the PDF/x-4 preset. If an all CMYK PDF is required, set the Color Conversion to Convert to Destination, and the Destination to Document CMYK.

PDF export with link to document defaulting to "Open a web link" instead of "Open a file"

I have a MS Access database and I'm trying to export reports to PDF (I have Acrobat XI Pro) that include a hyperlink to another document on the same drive on my computer. I have tested this with hyperlinked email addresses, and emails export fine to PDF and are still functional, opening a new email in Outlook. The hyperlinks to documents work fine in MS Access, opening a Word, PDF, or other document when clicked.
When I export to PDF, the links to documents say, "This document is trying to connect to: file:" and my filepath. If I say "Allow," the link tries to open in my default web browser, which comes up blank. I've tested this on other computers in our office too. When I right-click the link, I have the option to "Open weblink as a new document" -- this opens the document successfully, but won't be very helpful or fast for our staff. When I examine the link with Tools - Add or Edit Link, I see that the link's action defaulted to "Open a web link" when the PDF was created. This seems like it should be "Open a file." To see if "Open a file" would work in theory, I tried creating a test button in a blank PDF and made the "mouse up" action "Open a file" and linked to various documents on my computer. Each time, the button does not react to being clicked at all, like nothing happened.
I also tried making a basic Word doc with just the hyperlink to another document. It works fine in Word, but, when saved as a PDF, the hyperlink does the same behavior-- tries to connect to the web instead of opening the file on the computer.
I have a lot of experience building Acrobat PDF forms and working in Acrobat, and I'm almost certain I've created links that open another file on the computer in Acrobat before, but I'm out of ideas and an internet search isn't turning up much. I welcome any suggestions for things to try. Thank you!

This is what I currently have, and it attempts to open in a web browser. Do you know of a setting in Acrobat I might need to change, or any other solution to tell Acrobat to open the "file:" URL as a document, not try to start the web browser?

PDF export with security settings

Using JavaScript to export PDFs. Export works fine. Security in the PDF is not working.
ID CS5.5
This is the snippet of code I'm using to apply settings to the PDF:
with(app.pdfExportPreferences){
cropMarks = false;
registrationMarks = false;
acrobatCompatibility = AcrobatCompatibility.acrobat5;
colorBitmapCompression = BitmapCompression.autoCompression;
colorBitmapQuality = CompressionQuality.low;
colorBitmapSampling = Sampling.bicubicDownsample;
colorBitmapSamplingDPI = 100;
compressionType = PDFCompressionType.compressObjects;
compressTextAndLineArt = true;
cropImagesToFrames = true;
grayscaleBitmapCompression = BitmapCompression.autoCompression;
grayscaleBitmapquality = CompressionQuality.low;
grayscaleBitmapSampling = Sampling.bicubicDownsample;
grayscaleBitmapSamplingDPI = 100;
monochromeBitmapCompression = MonoBitmapCompression.ccit4;
monochromeBitmapSampling = Sampling.bicubicDownsample;
monchromeBitmapSamplingDPI = 300;
optimizePDF = true;
subsetFontsBelow = 100;
useSecurity = true;
viewPDF=true;
disallowPrinting=false;
disallowCopying=true;
disallowChanging=true;
openDocumentPassword = "password"
changeSecurityPassword = "password"
Most (if not all) of these settings are working with the exception of the security settings.
disallowPrinting=false;
disallowCopying=true;
disallowChanging=true;
openDocumentPassword = "dj2575!!"
changeSecurityPassword = "dj2575!!"
Am I missing something in the code?
Thank you for any input.

@Mike – yes.
Your with() statement seems to obscure some problems, i think.
I'd do the following:
//1. Set useSecurity to false (default)
app.pdfExportPreferences.useSecurity = false;
//Get a list of property/value pairs to see what's enabled or what's not possible in the current state of the app:
var myObject = app.pdfExportPreferences;
for(x in myObject){
    try{
    $.writeln(x +"\t"+myObject[x]);
    }catch(e){$.writeln(x+"\t"+e.message);};
Then enable useSecurity and run the for x in pdfExportPreferences again:
app.pdfExportPreferences.useSecurity = true;
var myObject = app.pdfExportPreferences;
for(x in myObject){
    try{
    $.writeln(x +"\t"+myObject[x]);
    }catch(e){$.writeln(x+"\t"+e.message);};
That should clear the view…

[JS][CS4]PDF Export With RegExp Doesn't Include First Zero-Please Help

The problem is, I never considered pages 0 through 99. The script works perfect for 138-140 TEST 10_WORKER.indd. It creates PDFs named:
MyTest_138.pdf
MyTest_139.pd
MyTest_140.pdf
If the document name is 098-100 TEST 10_WORKER.indd, It creates PDFs named:
MyTest_98.pdf - should be MyTest_098.pdf
MyTest_99.pdf - should be MyTest_099.pdf
MyTest_100.pdf - This is perferct
And of course, the double 0s, 008-010 TEST 10_WORKER.indd
MyTest_8.pdf - should be MyTest_008.pdf
MyTest_9.pdf - should be MyTest_009.pdf
MyTest_10.pdf - should be MyTest_010.pdf
Why doesn't it use the first 0(s) in the name? 0 is a digit and every RegEx tester I've checked it with includes the zero.
Any assistance with getting this script to use the leading zero if there is one would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if there is a way to export each PDF from a multipage document which doesn't start with a number, it would be extremely helpful.
Thanks in advance
Danny

The zeros aren't there because they never were there. Your loop starts at 0 and that could be a page number. To pad your page numbers to three-digit numbers, replace this line:
myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + "MyTest_" + (my_suffix + myCounter) + ".pdf";
with this one:
myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + "MyTest_" + (my_suffix + pad(myCounter)) + ".pdf";
and add the following function somewhere at the end of your script:
function pad (n) {
    return ("00000"+n).slice(-3);

PD4ML generating a PDF file with weird characters

I am running SSM SP07 NW 7.1 with Oracle in HP-UX. If we create a PDF via "Print" or "Mail" the created PDF generates a weird character Â where ever a blanck space should be.
I read that it could be a problem of the string "&nbsp" being read from ISO to UTF-8 encoding. I have tried everything with no result.
If I transport my SSM configuration to an SQL windows environment it works fine. The problem is I need it in Oracle and HP-UX.
Has anyone an idea?
Thanks in advance
Roberto

Hello Roberto,
Do you see the problem when using Operational Reviews as well as when exporting to a PDF ( print or mail)?
The script looks like it is part of the upgrade, there is no separate script that you can download.
I checked the note and there are no special instructions to run any script so I assume this runs automatically.
This note is for SSM 7.5 installs and you can upgrade your system to 7.5 SP07 by following the upgrade guide:
"Strategy Management Upgrade Guide 7.0 Series to 7.5 Series "
You can get this at: https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/instguidesCPM-STM
Select the 7.5 link on the left side to get the list of documents for 7.5.
Thanks,
Bill

PDF exporting with thin black lines around some images

Hi there,
I have spent A LOT of time making a custom SAVE THE DATE card and I cannot find a solution to this problem. When I am working in the document, I do not see thin borders around any of the images but when I export to PDF they show up. I have NO BORDERS selected for all images in the document and cannot figure out why they keep showing up after export.
I have attached a screen grab of what the document looks like when I am working on it, and another one of what it looks like after export. I am using Pages 5.2.2 and OS X version 10.9.5
I need to order these SAVE THE DATES by tomorrow to take advantage of the 60% off! Thanks so much for your help!

I am seeing this same problem in a family newsletter I've created. The lines do not show up in Pages, but when I export to pdf (or print to pdf), the lines appear. When I print the document, no lines appear.
Here's what the top of the newsletter looks like - the black lines show up on all the pages, and in the beige-covered overlay, crosshatching is visible. The template I'm using was in existence two years ago, but doesn't seem to exist in Pages anymore. Would that have anything to do with the lines showing up?
I also found this link, but can't apply any of the suggested fixes, since they apply to Adobe: <http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/thin-white-dark-lines-stitching.html>.

Sp3 and pdf export with diadem

Dear all;
We use Diadem 11 with windows XP SP2, and we use the functions PDF and Html Export . After upgrading from pack 2 to windows xp pack 3 we could no longer use these functions. We now the recieve error message : Access Violation r The printer is not ready ...
We repaired DiAdem, and checked if the pdf printer converter exists and it is there .
Any ideas !!!

That might or might not work. Let's try closing ID again, log in withthe old user, then delet the files, if they exist, inthe list you'll find at Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup
Your user library is hidden in 10.8, so if yo don't kow how to show those files, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
Now restart ID using the Keyboard shortcut to remove the prefs (hold down Cmd + Control + Shift + Opt keys as soon as you launch ID and choose Yes when asked if you want to replace the prefs. If you don't see the confirmation message, you weren't fast enough, so you need to try again).

PDF export with bookmarks (CR XI R2)

Hello,
Crystal Reports XI R2 supports exporting of PDFs with bookmarks (based on the group tree). How can this feature be accessed via .Net or COM? I can't find a associated property of the export-object.
Thank you very much in advance.

I thought COM and .NET objects might be similar. I am surprised that I can not find the option at the RDC_SDK:
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/en/RDC_SDK/rdc_com_dg_doc/doc/rdcsdk_com_doc/RDC_ObjectModel62.html#1327316
I need a excel driven solution so i guess there is no way to use .NET in macros- isn't it?
So, how can I access "CreateBookmarksFromGroupTree" from COM?
(this topic can be moved to COM..)

PDF export with menus auto open

Is there a way to export a PDF for a client so that when they click on your PDF, a certain PDF menu opens automatically with it (like the 3D model tree)?
Or the layers fly out side menu?
Or to have certain tools open across the top?
Thanks friends,
Ty

Hey TyCatt,
Adobe Acrobat has been designed in a manner where all the tools and buttons are customized to perform certain functionalities when selected.
So, please tell me what exact menu do you want to appear automatically?
What version of Acrobat are you using?
Let me know more on the same, please.
