PDF Merging and font dropping issue

Please advise me the difference between the process of combine PDF and single page insertion in existing PDF through Adobe Acrobat. The reason being in single page insertion we are experiencing font drop issues whereas when we use combine PDF option then no problem is there.
Thanks

You may need to check the Font's. Even though you may be sending ( and I am just making this up ) Times New Roman 12, the PDF may be using Times New Roman 10.
Anyway, the export to PDF does not support all the fonts that you can use in CR.... Or at least it does not appear to.

Quartz 2D PDF Merge and encrypt

Hi,
I am absolutely new to this forum and we (my company) are doing some IPad and IPhone Development. I have a Java background and are doing currently some technology proof with X-Code and Objective-C. I want to drag two (or more) pdf-files on the Dock-Icon and merge them (including Tiger). Ideally I want to set some security options for the merged pdf. The drag and drop works fine, now I have to combine them. It proofed to work using the libraries ghostscript or podofo, but thats kind of a detour as all I learned from the quartz 2D docs that this is a core part of quartz. And using the libs there are unneccessary library dependencies and its a linux-way to solve it but not an Objective-C-way.
My understanding is now that I can create a PDF using 'CGPDFContextCreate' now I have to 'load' the existing PDF-Files and 'print' or 'draw' them to that context/object. I have not found the starting point from the docs to do that.
Can someone help me find the right track?
best,
Alex

Ok,
is that a way?
Create a context by 'CGPDFContextCreate'
then grab each page of the existing document and draw it using
CGContextDrawPDFPage. Feels circumstantially!?
right way?

Export to PDF - margins and font size

Post Author: LisaConsult
CA Forum: Exporting
Using Crystal XI I programmatically perform an export to PDF. The PDF appears to have larger margins around the document and a smaller font size of text when compared to printing the same report to the printer or PDF distiller. The application is distributed to client workstations. Is there anything that can be done to resolve the issue? Thanks

InDesign exporting to PDF - .eps and .ai color issue

I've been reviewing a lot of help forums and have played with a lot of solutions and can't seem to fix this one.
With no updates or changes to my usual settings I've noticed an issue with my company logo when I export to PDF from InDesign CS6. Once I open the PDF all images and color spaces look fine, but the logo is muted, as if I set the opacity to 60-70% before exporting.
It happens with both EPS and AI files. It does NOT happen when I place the logo as a JPEG, but I need transparency and quality on these PDFs. Don't say PNG please, same issue with quality.
I don't understand how it changed when I changed nothing.
Any guidance would be appreciated, and I know I couldn't have possiblty provide a complete set of variables, so let me know wheat else would be helpful.

Thanks for both your responses. It appears that everythign in the original logo file and InDesign file are accurately set up. I've explored any back corners to see if something is off, but it all reads the same space/model/mode.
I've inserted an exported image to show the issue. The file formats from top to bottom is: AI, EPS, JPEG, PNG
Any other ideas?

PDF/A and font substitution

I've embarked on a mission to scan, download, or otherwise capture all of my records as PDF files. It seems reasonable to me that I want to save them as PDF/A when possible so that they will look exactly the same 20 years from now as they do today. (Of course, that significantly increases the size of the files. But bits are cheap.) My problem, of course, is that many of the documents I am acquiring (for example, statements downloaded from financial institutions) use fonts that I don't have installed on my computer, so I can't convert them to PDF/A.
My question is: Do I really need (or want) to convert documents to PDF/A? Assuming the document doesn't rely on some non-standard font I just happen to have installed on my PC, and the font substitution magic works well enough today to give me a perfectly acceptable document, then can I rely on it working just as well 20 years from now? Can I rely on font substitution in other vendor's products producing similar results? Is there anything in the PDF spec that constrains font substitution to producing something similar to what the Adobe products do today?
TIA - Bob

BTW, I tried printing a PDF to the PDF printer with the Default Settings option set to "Press Quality" and I got this:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: Helvetica-Narrow not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: cshow ]%%

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

I tried printing a PDF to the PDF printer with the Default Settings option set to "High Quality Print" and it created a new PDF file. All of the pages in my original document, which were landscape orientation, became portrait orientation in the new document. But otherwise I can't see anything obviously different between the two. In particular, the list of fonts is identical between the old and new documents. That is, the new document has the same embedded fonts and the same non-embedded (and still missing) fonts.

KDE, ntpd and drag&drop issues

Hi,
I use KDE and when I install ntpd (the problem disappears when I remove it) and I want to drag something (like windows), the dragging procedure starts after 5-6 seconds, so I have to hold the mouse in the position for 5-6 seconds. (it also happens when I try to select text).
Do you have encountered such a problem? Do you know how to fix the problem?

Weird.
Okay, so when kde and ntp are installed, and ntpd is running, where are your processors spending their time? Use htop, or whatever that process monitor thing in KDE is called to find out what, if anything is sucking up processor cycles. Let us know.
Everything seems normal to me (htop).
Also, it happens on XFCE and Gnome, so it may be X11 issue.
Also, when I have ntp and timezone set to GMT+2, when I reboot my time sets to GMT+4 (not timezone, just time)...

Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer displaying font preview.

I am using Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer showing all of them, just blank spaces where they would be...that is unless I put my cursor over it and I can then see the typeface. This is more of a nuisance than anything and didn't happen until I updates OS X to Yosemite. I currently am operating OS X Yosemetie 10.10.2
I have attached a screen shot. You can see that the font highlighted as the cursor is over it I can see the preview...but one I move the cursor it appears like all the others in the list and is blank.
HELP!

Solved using this previous users had the same issue; Font previews not appearing correctly in the character window after upgrading to Yosemite

Is there a way to merge Static PDF files and PDF Forms

Hi All,
The issue I am facing is this: 1200+ PDF forms that employees
will need to sign. The docs are being created in MS Word, and all
have a standard signature block. We have prototyped using LiveCycle
Designer 8 to add fields to static PDF files (print Word files into
Acrobat, import into LiveCycle and paste in fields) but this is
pretty labor-intensive to use with a minimum of 1200 forms per
quarter.
The employee forms go into a CF8/Oracle library app (stored
as BLOBs) and served up for 7,000 or so employees to sign. Posted
data goes back into database.
Here is the issue:
Does anyone know any way to use some combination of cfpdf /
cfpdfform / cfdocument that will allow us to create ONE generic
signature block form, 1200 static PDF files, and merge them on the
fly?
<cfdocument> apparently does not allow PDF data to be
included with a <cfpdfform>, as I have tried outputting PDF
variables, toBinary(PDF variable), PDF served by <cfcontent>
and various other combinations.
(If the non-form data were HTML, we could easily output in a
<cfdocumentsection> of the cfdocument, and add the
<cfpdfform source="#genericForm#" action="populate"> and be
done with it. But, we can't.)
<cfpdf action="merge"> with a combination of a static
PDF file and a populated form results in a flattend PDF file with
no form data.
I am acutely aware that LiveCycle 8 uses the XFA schema, and
regular PDF documents use a different schema. And, this may
prohibit what we want to do.
If anyone has experience with CF8 PDFs and PDF forms, or has
any helpful thoughts, I would be appreciatively gross. Needless to
say, this is a six month project that must be live at the end
November.
Thanks!

As I mentioned on the other thread, the forms need to be
flattened. CFPDF cannot flatten LiveCycle forms, only Acrobat
Forms. The suggested solution was to use LiveCycle ES

CR XI R2 pdf export font size issue

Exporting a report to PDF using Crystal XI R2 seems to be reducing the size of the fonts. When printing directly from CR and exporting to PDF and printing from the PDF viewer the font sizes are smaller. Any ideas on what I can do to correct the problem?

Please refer following SAP note:
Business Objects Notes Get Help | Close
   1220516 - Font size decreases when report is exported to PDF from Crystal Reports XI or Crystal Reports XI Release 2
Language   English     Version   1     Validity: 07.05.2008 - active
Edit Print View Show change log Show Internal Memos
Content:    Summary   |   Header Data   |   Other Properties
Symptom
In Crystal Reports XI and Crystal Reports XI Release 2 the font shrinks by approximately 10% when a report is exported to Adobe Acrobat Format (PDF).
Cause
This behavior is due to the way Windows and UNIX, and therefore Crystal Reports, handles low point size fonts on a low-resolution screen. Text layout in the absence of a printer driver will consistently be rendered differently than in PDF.
Crystal Reports currently shrinks the font by 10% to prevent any truncation this difference may cause.
Resolution
CAUTION The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
To resolve the behavior
Set the resolution of the default printer of the local computer experiencing the issue to 1200 DPI. Most printers have a default setting of 600 DPI.
Create two registry keys to prevent the crxf_pdf.dll from decreasing in font size.
Click Start > Run. Type "regedit". The Registry Editor appears.
Create the following keys for Crystal Reports XI with the defined values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.
Create the following keys for Crystal Reports XI Release 2 with the defined values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal eports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.
In UNIX, an X server client such as x-win32 must be installed. Add the keys as follows:
Launch the X server client.
Source <bobje install>/bobje/setup using env.sh (for example: ./env.sh).
Create the registry keys as detailed above.
Restart the Report Page and Cache Servers.
====================
NOTES:
If using Windows 2003 Server, upgrade to Acrobat Reader version 8.0 or higher as well as creating the above registry keys.
Use the appropriate path to access the UNIX regedit as follows:
AIX: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/aix_rs6000/crpe/mw/bin-aix4_optimized/regedit
Sun Solaris: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/crpe/mw/bin-sunos5_optimized/regedit
Linux: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/crpe/mw/bin-linux_optimized/regedit
====================

Creating PDF files from Quark causes font/image issues. PLEASE HELP.

After creating a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Professional (using the file>Export to PDF option) from QuarkXPress version 7.3, my client sees and prints distorted letters with various fonts and they even sometimes see lines where they shouldn't be. I don't see these issues on my end, even when I print the documents. For example, I may have a headline of four words, the top of the words are shifted to one side, or sometimes even the top half of the letters are in a different color. Please help soon before I lose my clients... or my mind. Thanks.

We don't use Quark anymore, but I seem to remember that the export to pdf does not use Acrobat Distiller. It is Quark's own pdf maker. If the customer does have Acrobat Professional, then get them to print to the Adobe PDF 'printer' and seeif they get the same problem. They may need to open the Distiller app to set which output settings are used.

PDF and Font Problems 10.6.8

Ugh.
MBP13 7,1 (mid 2010) 2.4g C2D 4G Ram
I use Vectorworks 2011 to produce CAD drawings for customers and the plant. Recently I began having issues with my PDFs of my CAD not being fully distilled - various issues but primarily most dimensions not visible. I have read that PDF issues cropped up beginning with 10.6.7 and that certain PS fonts can be the issue. As well as outdated PDF readers used by my recipients. In a short-sighted fit of frustration I began monkeying with Font Book and Font Caches.
My maladies are
1. My PDFs are incomplete
2. Received MS Office filed open "blank". Now MS OFFICE 2011 no longer has common Fonts such as Arial and Times Nee Roman.
Can I fix this or do I need to go back to 10.6.6 and reinstall Office?
Thanks in advance.
BTW this forum is surprising difficult to nav on an iPhone.

MS Office font Problem solved in case anyone else stumbles upon this.

Issue with PDF Merge

Hi,
Thanks in advance. I have an issue when I merge pdf files in Acrobat 9. Please see the attached Screenshot below. The issue seems very strange. Few of files in the merge list reads "Can not convert this file ... from the list"
Please help. I need to solve them immediately.
With many thanks,
Saravanan

The two most common reasons why a file would receive such a warning: (1) The file follows a particular standard (e.g., PDF/A or PDF/X) and would no longer comply with the standard if merged. (2) The file has security or a signature applied, and it would lose its integrity of part of a merged PDF
I think more info might be shown if you opened the warning window wider (not sure about whether this is specified in the warning).

Preview Drag and Drop Issue

I use preview in school a lot. Converting lectures to PDF is a lot easier to use and i us a program called iFlash to make flash cards.
What I want to do is use the text tool to highlight sections of text, drag them to the flash card window and then drop the text there. This is a really quick and easy way to make the flash cards.
This works except when i click back to the card all the text that i dragged is deleted.
Does anyone else have this issue. I have checked, this feature (highlight and drag...) works well in other programs (mail, pages) but not with my flash card program.
Any ideas?

I have checked, this feature (highlight and drag...) works well in other programs (mail, pages) but not with my flash card program.
That suggests that the problem is with iFlash. Will it accept drags from other programs, besides Preview? If not, it probably doesn't support drag and drop at all. If it does, then its implementation is probably buggy, and you should contact the developer.
