PDF font viewed Evince different than actual PDF font?

The title says it all. I'm getting a very strange girly font (no offense, but the i's are dotted with hearts) being rendered for all the text on the PDF. Some PDFs that I view in Evince retain their original font. I have no idea why this is happening, and neither do I have this font on my computer. I am so definitely sure about that. Does anyone have ideas?
I'm using Gnome3 if that matters any.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried a different pdf viewer? Gimp or inkscape can view pdf files or pages. Epdfview is a lightweight, less feature-full alternative to Evince.
It might help to identify the font. You probably have the poppler package installed. If so, you can use 'pdffonts' to list the fonts used in the problem file. The mupdf package includes 'pdfinfo-mupdf' that can also be used to list the fonts used in a pdf-file.

PDF Output: Why is "PDF Review" styled different than "Generate PDF"?

I am new to RH. I have imported a folder of HTML files (used in an Eclipse Help plugin) into RH9 for HTML as a project. My goal is to produce a PDF document.
When I generate a PDF from Printed Documentation in the Single Source Layouts pad, many styles are incorrect. I've tried generating to Word and from there to PDF with the same effect.
However, when I use Create PDF for Review from Project Manager the styles shown in the PDF (fonts, alignment, etc) are nearly perfect! Is the PDF Review option using a different CSS?
I have tried exploring the CSS specified in the Generate PDF flow, but I am unable to make changes, perhaps due to my massive state of confusion. So I'm losing hope that I could manually tweak to CSS that I think I use in the Generate PDF flow to appear like the "PDF Review" flow. I specified the same CSS used in the Eclipse Help system, but evidently there must be some defaults built into the Eclipse viewer that are not specified in the CSS we use.
Thanks in advance,
Charly in SJ

Here's what I think is happening. You say PDF review is good but printed documentation gives wrong styles. You also say you assume PDF review uses the Stylesheet (CSS) for each topic, yes it does. Now if that is giving the correct styles it tells you that is what you need when you generate printed documentation.
When you use a Word template you will get very different styles unless you have set up the template to mirror your CSS. Using the Map to CSS option you have two choices, you can select None when each topic will be printed according to the CSS attached to the topic or you can select one of the CSS files available in the project.
I suspect that if you select the None option, you will get the same as you are seeing in the PDF review.
If your document is not going to be worked on by anyone, such as a training department using it as a based document, then the CSS options are fine. If others will be working on it, then the Word template option is better as lists will be true lists and headings will be true heading styles.

Format on HTML report different than on PDF view

I have a Quote report based on Product Revenue that we send to our customers. I have it formatted nicely when initially displayed and also when viewed with the Printer Friendly HTML option. But... when I view it as a PDF, it is not even close.
The layout of the report uses a narrative section with HTML formatting to get the elements to align correctly, per the documentation. The HTML I use is as follows:
Narrative Section formatting code:
<table width="600">
<tr><td colspan=3> <div align="center"><b><font size="5" face="Times">
@10</font><br>
<font size="4" face="Times" > Prepared Exclusively For: @8</font></b>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr> <th width="250"><div align="left">Quote Details</div></th> <th width="50"> </th><th width="300"><div align="left">Sales Manager Info:</div></th></tr>
<tr>
<td>Quote ID: @9</td><td> </td><td>Name: @16</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>Quote Date: @15</td><td> </td><td>Email: @17</td>
<tr><td>Quote Expiration: @14</td><td> </td><td> </td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=3><div align="center"><b>Phones - Cell:</b> @18, <b>Work:</b> @20, <b>Fax: </b> @19 </div></td></tr>
</table>
Notes: @11Is there another way to get the HTML view and PDF view to look the same (or at least close)?
(more details and examples here --> [HTML and PDF Views|http://crm.nurserysupplies.com/images/CRM_HTML_and_PDF_views.doc])

To date, this is considered a product limitation. I just talked with an escalation manager regarding this very issue, and he offered to bring this up with the product managers/engineers on 5/15/09. I recommend escalating this issue and asking your escalation manager to do the same.
We are trying to create a customer contract based on Opportunity information.
The best way to accomplish what you are trying to do is: Click Printer Friendly > Click HTML > Click on File - Print in browser window > Either print to PDF using a pdf printer from adobe or the cutepdf or print a hard copy.

Creating a .pdf in photoshop cs4 different than earlier versions

Hi. In PS CS4.
I am trying to make a .pdf to send to a printer. I do not know if the printer as CS4. Eventually I will ask, but..
I made a pdf in Photoshop, basically using the High Quality print settings.
Normally, when I open a pdf in Photoshop that was made in Photoshop I am able to see the layers, adjustment layers..etc..
I tried opening this .pdf in Photoshop 7.0 & it had asked me to rasterize it with that dialog screen, although I did have Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities checked. I am not sure why it did that.
What do you do for people that have earlier versions?
Thank you.

not much you can do about it, the Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities only works when opening it in Photoshop CS2 or newer

Font in Illustrator prints different than the same font in a different document

I created two pdfs in Illustrator and on the monitor they look the same because they are the same font, character size, both with the same black fill with no stroke but when they are printed it looks different. One version looks grey while the other looks normal. I have double checked settings, cut and pasted the text into the document that prints correctly and nothing seems to fix this error.It's the second file that doesn't print properly aka BuyzFrontv2 copy.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

One of the problems is that much of the text is in 4-color black, probably as a result of cutting pasting from Word. There is less of it in the second one than the first. You might want to clear this up and then retry.

Jpeg looks different than actual Image in Photoshop (saving Issues)

My image in photoshop has thin lines, but when I save it, the jpeg shows the image with very thick dark lines, looking not like the image in photoshop. Why does it do this? How can I stop PS from doing this to my image? I want the image to look as it does in Photoshop when I save it as a Jpeg.
This is in Photoshop CS4
As it should be (using the snipping tool (I can't use the snipping tool as my only option, because it will only capture the size as it is on the screen, not the actual dimensions in Photoshop)
Saved as a Jpeg; the lines are thicker, and now there is little variation in line weight
Does anyone have a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just one comment... Your lines in your screen grab are NOT thinner, they are simply a good bit lighter.
You should try to use the proper terminology, because you will end up realizing, when C.Pfaffenbichler helps you get to the bottom of your problem, that you likely are experiencing a gamma/color-management issue causing your pixels to be displayed far more lightly in one case than another.
Besides your color settings in Photoshop, it will also be helpful to know what color profile is associated with your monitor at the operating system level.
-Noel
P.S., I don't know what result you're going for, but the JPEG with the darker lines looks a lot better on a calibrated display. The screen grab seems too light.

Display Prompt Different than actual parameter

I would like to present the user a different display prompt value. For example:
Query: Select dept_name, dept_id from departments
I want my prompt list to display Dept_name but when the user selects the dept_name XMLP should pass the dept_id to the next query.
Thanks

The LOV based on queries is wired to expect either:
1 value, presented to user and passed or
2 values, first always presented and second passed
You can not pass more than one value to the query.
You could get around this by having a hidden parameter that takes a value from the first LOV as an input and passes a value to the query.

Please Help...Album Artwork Iz Different Than Actual Artist???

***??? For Example, On My iPod The Song Will Be "Walk It Out", But The Album Artwork Will Show "Green Day's" Album Artwork??? iTunes Shows The Correct Album Artwork, How Do I Fix This??? The Problem Started Immediately After I Installed The New Version of iTunes, Which Absolutely ***...Causing Me To Drink Heavily;~) After Countless Hours Invested, I Finally Figured Out How To Play Videos. I'd Appreciate Any Advice And Thank You In Advance!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This happened to me when I first installed iTunes 7 also, and the fix is pretty easy. Open iTunes and connect your iPod, under the music tab, uncheck the box that says "Display album artwork on your iPod" and click apply. Eject and reconnect your iPod. Recheck that same box and click apply. iTunes will now copy your album artwork to your iPod. This can take a few minutes. Hopefully, everything will appear correctly.

Save svg with font-weight:bold rather than a bold font?

Illustrator is changing the font in my svgs to Arial-BoldMT, which causes it to publish incorrectly (doesn't show up bold).
When I change the svg code to ArialMT; font-weight:bold, it publishes correctly. Any idea how to have Illustrator save the svgs with the font-weight:bold attribute so I don't have to change it in the code?
Thanks for your help.

Out of curiosity may I ask why you are using svg, is this for mobile devices.
Try uninstalling Arial-BoldMT on your system.

Firefox won't open PDF files after I removed older version of PDF-xChange Viewer and installed the lastest version of PDF-xChange Viewer. MS Explorer which I am now force to use works OK. I have checked the Applications window in Tools/Options and it l

Firefox no longer opens PDF files. Explorer works OK. I have checked the Applications window in the Tools/Options and it says I am using PDF-xChange viewer....It just does not do anything. I get the message in the Download Error window which says...."could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Is the same error which I get when I attempt to open a PDF file on a webpage using the Firefox browser....Explorer works OK so I am now forced to Explorer to read PDF files via a browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After removing a old copy of PDF-xChange Viewer and updating to the last version

The error message suggests that the file (pdf) that you're trying to download cannot be saved in the folder Firefox tries to save it in.
This can be due to several things - it could be a non-existing folder (could be a problem with the updated application), the hard drive could be too full to store the file (less likely if you can generally surf the net without error messages) or it could contain an error.
To complicate things a little further, it seems to me that you have (at least) 3 different PDF-handling plugins in Firefox from different programs:
PDF-XChange Viewer Netscape Gecko Plugin
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2"
Zeon PDF Plugin For Mozilla
This shouldn't matter too much, thou, as it will most likely simply use either the latest installed or the first one it finds when looking up associations for files of type 'pdf'.
First, in Tools > Options... > tab General > section File download, select "Save files in" and Browse your way to a (non-writeprotected!) folder on a drive where you're certain there is enough free space - like the Desktop folder to make the files end up on your Windows desktop.
Second, under Applications as you mention yourself, find all document types related to PDF files, and set these to one of the programs. Check the entire list to be sure there isn't one hiding under one of the other programs' document types (Adobe Acrobat document, PDF X-Change and Zeon).
Restart Firefox, and try opening a PDF again.
If it fails once more, try changing the documents again to one of the other programs, like "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)".
If it STILL fails, change it to simply "Save file". Then you can simply browse your way to the download folder with Windows Explorer, and doubleclick the PDF file to see which program actually handles PDF files as default on the machine, and if it works properly.
If Firefox flatly refuses to save the PDF files in a folder which you're certain both exist and has space for the file, some (probably security related) program is most likely interfering with Firefox, preventing it in storing PDF files on the system.

Font view on CC different to CS6

I might just be completely stupid but since I've moved from CS6 to CC my font view is different when I right click on text to bring up fonts. In CS6 the font name is shown in the actual font but in CC it's just got the word 'Sample' in the font. It's driving me crazy! Can I change the view in CC does anyone know?

"sample" is the new way and there is no changing.
to their credit, it's easier to read the names now.

Default initial view that applies to all PDFs opened

Is it possible to set a default PDF initial view that applies to every pdf opened, regardless of the source of the pdf? Simply put, I want to have the initial view of EVERY pdf I open to be at 100% zoom and no bookmark panel. Obviously this can be done manually every time I open a pdf, which will then reopen with those settings. It seems logical that I should be able to set a default initial view that will apply to any pdf I open and not require me to manually set every one. I've tried every option noted in all the forums I have found, using prologue and epilogue, file>properties, edit>preferences, action wizard. It all boils down to this...I don't want to manually set anything. I want to open pdf documents in the initial view I prefer.

I have spend a great deal of time researching this exact question. What I have found is that essentially the answer is "no". I have come up with a workaround that isn't painless, but it gets the results I want without having to touch every pdf after it is opened.
I set up an Action in Acrobat that has the options I want (page and 100% with no bookmark panel open) and run it against pdfs in a specified directory. It sets all initial views for any pdf in the directory to what I want. The action can also be run against any directory or file, but for my purposes I find doing it in a sort of "batch" mode works best. To set the Action:
     1.     Open Acrobat (with no other pdfs open)
     2.     File >Action Wizard>Create New Action
     3.     On right panel set
                         Start with:     "Ask When Action is Started"
                         Save to:          "The Same Folder Selected at Start", check "Overwrite existing Files"
                                             (if you plan to run this action against a directory as I am)
     4.     From left panel
                         Select Document Processing>Set Open Options
     5.     In right panel click on "Options" for the step you just created and set the initial view you desire
     6.     Save
When you want to use the action you can access it from Acrobat opening window or any pdf file you currently have open.
Another alternative is to use Distiller with epilogue.ps or prologue.ps to append this initial view to any document created. As I don't create many pdfs, it didn't really help with what I wanted to do. .
