PDF Text Characters

File exported from crsytal reports to PDF.  Text good in crystal, but every letter "f" is followed by the letter "i". Example, word "of" displayed as "ofi" in PDF.  Word "forward" displayed as "fiorward" in PDF.

It sounds to me as if the font(s) used has/have not been embedded properly.

  • Illustrator CS4 to PDF, text characters lost?!

    This sounds weird to me even as i type it. but i have converted a cs4 illustrator doc to a pdf and it is missing a character in one of the words. Lost during conversion??
    is this some sort of fluke??
    Heather

    ok, i see i may be using the wrong language. the font is Minion Pro, and i did "save as" a pdf from illy CS4 and i just find it odd that this one h is missing.
    it is from the outlined file which i find odd as well. this hasnt happened b4 which is why it worries me.
    Embedding fonts? is this something i have to do when saving the pdf? i feel really dumb right now b-cuz this has never happened.
    oh, and i attached the file, if you look in the first column of text fourth line down it reads 'ealthcare' instead of 'healthcare' which it reads in the .ai doc.
    thank you everyone who is trying to help me! i really appreciate it!!!!

  • PDF Text Field Form Label

    Hello everyone.  I was wondering if there was a way to make a label viewable in normal mode for a PDF text field form.  I am making my PDF a form with a fillable text box in it.  Well, I'd like the box name to show up when someone opens the PDF, not just if they only go into the edit form view.  I hope I'm making sense.  So far, the only thing I can think of is making a Button with the label above the fillable text box or make the text box a combo box.  However, with a combo box, I can't edit how the text will look when it's typed in.  Right now, though, when a person opens the PDF normally, the highlighted fillable text boxes show up but not the labels with them even though I have names entered in on Name and Tooltip.
    Any suggestions?

    Oh my gosh... I feel like such a dork!!  I took a fresh look at it this morning, and the ONLY mistake I had was that I put the ending quotations in the wrong spot!  I forgot to include (Optional) inside the quotations for the label!
    I had this:  if (!event.value) event.value = "Company Information" (Optional);
    Instead of this:  if (!event.value) event.value = "Company Information (Optional)";
    Oi!!  That was it! lol!  I'm sorry about that.  And yes, without those quotations, my text form fields don't work.  I hadn't seen your message before (until now) asking for me to clarify that.  I'm sorry!  That's the only spot I needed quotations.  If I don't have them, Adobe tells me that I'm missing characters.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!  I wish there was a way to give brownie points or something on here either than "Right Answer".  You have helped me so much and deserve a lot of brownie points!   Thank you!!
    If Adobe is reading this, please give George Johnson a reward or something, please!  He was very helpful and patient with me.

  • What is the difference between Create shapes or masks from text characters?

    What is the main difference between Create shapes or masks from text characters and why use one over the other, or when is one preferred over the other?
    I am still fairly new to AE and am trying to better understand this, or can you point me to where i might look for the answer?
    CS5 if that make a difference.

    One creates masks, the other creates shape layers. There are properties that you can animate with shape layers that are not available to masks. There are also a few things you can do with masks that you can't with shape layers.
    I'd suggest you take a look at the help files or do a Google Search on After Effects Shape Tutorials.

  • How do I remove a green background from a pdf text document?

    I posted this question yesterday and received one reply.  I wanted to respond to the reply, but couldn't find a link or "button" to click on that would enable me to do that, so I'm doing it here.  As I'm new to this site, please advise me where the link is, if there is one. 
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that PDF was proprietary, with one "owner" and that PDF was PDF, so it didn't matter what program you had on your computer because PDF was universal.  Second, when I googled Nuance pdf, I was directed to this site, specifically the "Create, Edit and Export PDF's" section.  Third, I also have Adobe Acrobat with pdf and a bunch ofother Adobe products on my computer.  So, that brings me back to my original question,  how do I get rid of a green background on a pdf text document, so I don't use up all my ink when I print it.  Thanks for your patience and help.

    I still use Office 2008 but have not encountered that issue. However, as Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac
    Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

  • Preview's PDF text select ignores columns and misses word spaces

    I have a number of scanned pdf newspaper articles that I was attempting to copy the text from. Preview appears to register the existence of columns, as there is a pale blue background between the columns.
    However when I use the text select tool, it completely ignores the column - and just selects across all columns. And when I paste the text into my text editor, it's missing all the spaces between the words, and the font size is always huge.
    Conversely, Adobe reader in XP has no problem selecting by column, and the pasted text is also an exact replication of the original content. I don't know why Preview performs so badly in this regard? Anyone else experience any issues with pdf text select?

    Anyone else experience any issues with pdf text select?
    Yes, and not just recently.
    There is a reason Preview is named, well, preview. It is not an authoring environment and PDFs are not meant to serve in that context either...unless maybe you understand all of inherent the font traps, tricks & tips and how to tune your scanning/OCR software to keep rework to a minimum.
    Scanning PDFs is always tricky, and without the occasional heavy metal to bring to the task, it just seems to be that more problematic.
    Keep trying, but I'd really suggest to look to other tools at this time.

  • SAP PI 7.0 - Incorrect text characters

    Hello,
    We're experiencing a problem with text characters in our interfaces. We have a scenario "Web Service - PI - Web Service".
    When PI invokes the first Web Service the information is correctly retrived, but when it passes that information to the second Web Service, some words are not correctly processed. See the following example of a portuguese word:
    BETÃO becomes BET?AO
    I think this is happening because of character conversion, but I can't seem to find a solution.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks in advance.

  • PDF Scanned in a PDF Text document?

    How can I convert a PDF Scanned file in a PDF text document??
    Regards

    Unfortunately, you cannot change a scan into live text using Adobe Reader. At a minimum you would need Adobe Acrobat to run what's called Optical Character Recognition.
    What I've recommended to people in the past is to use the drawing markup tools to draw boxes around the text they want highlighted then play around with the fill color of the box until they get something close to what they want.

  • PDF text pages in iPhoto books

    I'm not sure that this is a problem. I just want reassurance before I click the ORDER BOOK button and buy the iPhoto book I have created.
    I have imported PDF pages of text into the book, as I was able to get more control over the text layout that way. However, when I proof a PDF-text page, it looks more blurry and pixellated than standard, typed-on-the-page text, as if the resolution is not quite so high. It is perfectly legible, just a shade less sharp.
    Is this likely to be a resolution matter with my printer, or will the text be marginally more blurry in the printed book's PDF pages, too? If blurry is the answer, is there anything I can do before ordering the book to get the text looking just as sharp on the PDF pages as on the non-PDF, direct-to-page, text?
    Many thanks in advance.

    In PS under Edit->Color Settings Working Spaces set Grayscale to Dot Gain 20% and set the RGB menu to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. This is for future uses.
    Now open each file in PS CS2 from withing iPhoto, go to the Image->Mode menu and select RGB. Save the changes, Command+S, and that's it. The photo will then appear normally in iPhoto.
    Here's how to use Photoshop from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you ever do any scanning of B/W photos always scan as color.

  • Exporting PDF text to html

    How can I export PDF text and post the exported text on a web page, to which I can then apply Google Translate?  Our organization post PDF articles from our journal.  (I can manually block and copy the text, so I know the text can be captured.)  I want a program/app/software to run on our website that will allow a user to extract the text from the PDF and display the text as html.  From there, the user can apply Google Translate.  So does anyone know how I can do this?  It doesn't seem like a difficult task -- I can do it manually -- but I want an app that will do it automatically.

    Thanks for the reply.  Do you have any idea how I could do what I want to do, perhaps with some other software?

  • How can I highlight pdf texts in adobe reader 9?

    With the commenting tools. But they will only be available if the author of the PDF enabled that option in Acrobat.

  • PDF Text Blurry Fuzzy... but only on one machine...

    I could really use your assistance. When viewing a PDF, one user can see the PDF text with great clarity, but the same PDF viewed by other users, the text appears fuzzy / blurry. I've tried to massaged about every Preference I could (within Acrobat) and through Windows 2003, but nothing worked.
    The machines (corporate image) are (should be) identical as is the hardware.
    Has anyone successfully resolved this issue?

    Thanks for your help.
    I'm using Aperture 2.1.4, sorry I should have mentioned that in my original post.
    I've installed the RAW Compatibility Update nonetheless, but no joy.
    I did a consistency check on the database and nothing came up. Then I did a rebuild and it almost worked. Luckily, I did this on a copy of the library. It removed most of my images from my library, but those that remained (which were a seemingly random subset of my whole library) were fine.
    I'm now making another copy of the library from the Time Capsule
    It's strange that it would be a problem with the database if it works fine on my MBP, don't you think?
    I'm out of ideas!

  • Random text characters not displaying correctly

    Hello,
    I'm using Firefox 29.0.1 and I'm having a problem with words displaying incorrectly on Facebook.
    http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o795/hatsunemii/ss_zpsa166e384.jpg
    It's a strange problem with the fonts. As you can see in the screenshot, all the text characters should have the same style and font, but one of words is displaying incorrectly. I zoomed in to that word and you can see it's in bold??? In large paragraphs, there will be words like that all over the place and it's annoying... I tried reinstall FF, update my fonts, play with font settings in FF, but no luck...

  • Text characters displayed as # on Bex analyzer (excel)

    Hi all,
    I am having issues with Turkish Charaters displayed on the report output on Bex analyser.
    The Turkish text characters in the fields like Name 1, Name 2, city are displayed in # format. 
    This is happening only when the report is executed on Bex analyzer (excel). In BW system I can see the turkish characters properly. There is no # symbol anywhere when i check in cube or master data.
    The # sign is not shown when the query is executed on internet explorer(web report). This issue is only with Bex analyzer(excel).
    Some sample data is as below.
    Correct data in BW cube or master data: ÜCRETLI ÜRETICISI TÜ
    The same is displayed when executed the report over web.
    But when executed on BEX analyzer(Excel) it shows as: #CRETLI #RETICISI T#
    This was not happening last month. I was able to see the turkish characters last month properly on BEX analyzer.
    Now we are having this # issue.
    Can anyone suggest what could be the problem with? and how we can rectify this?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Maddy,
    I also think it is a front-end issue.
    The texts look fine in RSA1 and in Web Analyzer.
    The problem with the codepage variable is that as far as i know it can have only one value.
    On my report I have a list of purchase orders with the vendors.
    The vendors come form different countries and are maintained by the country's affiliate in their native language.
    The user needs to see the texts for all displayed vendors regardless the language and alphabet.
    Right now I have probelms with Greek, Bulgarian and Serbian.
    But next month the report may contain the vendors from other countries.
    Therefore I would have to add all languages to codepage variable.
    In fact in my system it doesn't even work for one value.
    I also added other languages to windows regional settings but it didn't help.
    Do you have any tips on that?
    Thanks,
    Marek
