Prob with chinese font bold, italic... in PDF report

Hello everyone ! :D
My symptoms (overview) : to create my RDF report, I'm using a font, simsun.ttf, wich allow me to view chineses and french characters. Everything is ok, except in PDF format, all the items remains in "normal" style.
My configuration : Windows NT4 SP6a
Report Builder 9.0.4.2
Acrobat Reader 7.0
Oracle Database 9.2.0.6
In Detail : in report builder, every items (text fields, labels,...) are directly created with SimSun font. Some items are bold, some italic, ...
If i generate the report in RTF format, my items bold, italic, ... are ok in Microsoft Word (SimSun Bold, ...). However, if i generate the report in PDF format, everything is in "normal" style.
I changed the file UIFONT.ALI like this :
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
# Arial = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
SimSun..Italic.Bold.. = "SimSun.ttf"
SimSun...Bold.. = "SimSun.ttf"
SimSun..Italic... = "SimSun.ttf"
SimSun..... = "SimSun.ttf"
and also like that (just to try something else, but it does not change anything) :
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
# Arial = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
SimSun = "SimSun.ttf"
Obviously, with an Arial font, we can map the different files Arialb.ttf, Arialbi.ttf, ... according to the desired font style we want, but with SimSun font, there is only one file : SimSun.ttf.
Obviously, i have no choice for the font... I have to use SimSun.
Anyway, if i take a look at my PDF, the used fonts (in file>property>fonts>) i can see several personnalized fonts, each one corresponding to a SimSun style (one for SimSun, Bold, an other for SimSun, BoldItalic, ...) but everything is the same style on screen.
Does somebody have an idea??
Thanks a lot !

CONVERT_OTF Convert TO PDF the Chinese font bold is lost

Dear All,
     When I use CONVERT_OTF Convert TO PDF the Chinese font bold is lost, but use Print to PDF method, the Font Bold can be showed normal.
Also used these reports RSTXPDFT4, RSTXPDF2UC, it does not work.
How can I solve this issue?
Many Thanks

Hi,Aidan,
    Thanks,
     Sorry,the option CJK_USE_BOLD_IT does not exist in report RSTXPDF3 when I run this report.
     I found only CJK_SMALL_FONT such as u2018CJK*u2019 in my system.
     Is there a way to add CJK_USE_BOLD_IT?
    When I check RSTXPDF3,I found all the options are hard copy in RSTXPDF3 list by Constants.

Display Chinese in English Windows with Chinese Font installed?

Dear all,
Please reall help me, this is very urgent.
I have written an applet supporting simplified chinese
and traditional chinese well. But I then was asked to
do this under windows whose default language is English.
Of course, chinese fonts are available.
I have tried a lot but still cannot get the applet work
with the default language set to English. Seems the system
will not retrieve the Chinese font. Can any one tell me
how?

Please refer to the article that I have written which might be helper to you.

Cannot print out Chinese , show as '?' in pdf report

Hi ,
I installed standalone version of BI publisher with Apex3.1, try to use the pdf printing function, but any time I print out pdf no matter on my our application or within the apex sql workshop. all the chinese charaters are missing, and instead, showed as '?', that is too bad.
I posted and searched the forum of BI , I got answers of the font mapping, but I added some Chinese fonts, but it was still the same problem.
But when I print as RTF or other type the Chinese is Ok.
So is this a problem with Apex itself, instead of BI?
How to solve this problem?
Peter

Hi Peter,
>>I copied some ttf Chinese fonts file into the location you both mentioned, but after that, I cannot find any of them at the Font mapping.
That is very strange.
Most likely you had copied the files to the wrong directory else they will be displayed inside the Target Font dropdown list.
My BI Publisher directory path in my notebook is :
d:\Ora_Home_1\jdk\jre\lib\fonts
Do not confuse it with the Oracle DB which is:
d:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdk\jre\lib\fonts
Below is the content of my xdo.cfg configuration file:
<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">
   <properties>
   </properties>
<fonts><font family="Default" style="normal" weight="normal"><truetype path="ALBANWTS.ttf"/></font></fonts></config>

Can BI Publisher comes with EBize be used to print pdf report from APEX?

Hi,
We have EBiz suit (11.5.10) with APEX 3.2. Both are working fine. I want to enable APEX to develop PDF reports. I would like to know whether I can use BI Publisher comes with EBiz to print PDF from APEX.
If yes where can I get instructions on how to setup APEX with BI Publisher with EBiz.
TIA
DineshS

I'm not aware of the BIP/XMLP Web Services being available in the embedded EBS version (XML Publisher 5.6.3). But you might be able to create your own wrapper to the XMLP APIs in EBS.

Book designer wanted to set up file InDesign CC file, must have experience with Chinese fonts (traditional

Hi there
Looking for a book designer to help with setting up a file in InDesign CC so I can place text from Word.
I'm helping to produce a large book (700+ B5 pages) about history of Chinese medicine in 20th century. There are lots of characters used throughout (within English-language paragraphs) so it's really important that the designer has experience working with fonts for both traditional and simplified characters.
The book has been laid out in Word with style sheets to basic mockup stage and can be provided for reference so there's no design concept needed, simply getting the shell ready to place the Word files, but this would probably include things like:
Document setup, page size, margins etc
Verifying the style sheets are set up properly & add extras if needed eg optical margins etc, that aren't included in Word
Structuring files as chapters, front matter, back matter, headers & footers etc
Suggesting a layout grid based on word file
Maybe a final check of the finished file before producing the PDF
This is a self-published project for a very small market!!! So of course we're looking to economise :-) So if you're interested then please provide a quote based on your experience of what's needed to set up a project properly but not with too many bells & whistles!!
Cheers
Lois

Anyone interested in the opportunity should contact Lois through the messaging system. I'm locking the thread.

Problem with decreased font size in exported PDF.

We have a web site running on a Windows 2008R2 server.
The site was developed with Visual Studio 2010 using .NET 4.0.and is running in 32bit. The associated application pool uses a specific local user.
We have some reports that include a barcode font. The font is installed on the server and the reports are rendered in PDF on the server side to avoid the need to have the barcode font installed on all clients. The PDF renders correctly but we are facing the decreased font size problem
We followed the instructions included in this post:
Unfortunately the part regarding VS 2010 does not seem to work.
If we add the specified Key on the HKLM section of the registry, it doesnu2019t have any effect.
If we add it on the HKCU section while logged in with the same user assigned to the application pool, everything seems to work fine. But as soon as the user is logged out, the reports stop working.
Have anybody figured out how to configure correctly those keys with this configuration?

Try putting it under the HKU/.default path. You can also use process monitor to see where the application is looking.

Hi Prabhudas,
I am using the FM 'CONVERT_OTF' to convert the data to pdf.
The FM CLOSE_FORM is creating the IT_OTF internal table and the CONVERT_PDF uses that internal table to populate the         IT_PDF internal table and then using the FM 'SO_OBJECT_SEND' to send the PDF file to mail.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
       EXPORTING
            format       = 'PDF'
       IMPORTING
            bin_filesize = g_filesize
       TABLES
            otf          = it_otf
            lines        = it_pdf.

PDF in Chinese Font

Hi all,
I found that the adobe reader can not open a PDF file embedded with chinese font "Ming(for ISO10646)", but other PDF readers do it, say Foxit, google doc. I've attached the PDF file.
Thanks a lot.
Rgds,
Ricky

The document wasn't created with Adobe Acrobat. Why did you post your question in the forum for Adobe Acrobat?
At open I get the error message: "Dictionary keys must be direct name objects."

How to find a word written with two fonts...?

Hi,
I have a 200+ pages document that contains some words with the first letter in Times regular and the rest in Times italic. Is there any way to find those words in the document?
Thanks

Ooooo, Dave ....
Annabelle, a non scripting solution is the following.
You cannot search for words with multiple fonts. However, since you can search for words in one font, you can exclude 'good' ones.
I will be assuming you have a regular document, with just black text ...
In Search & Replace, GREP, search for "\b\w+\b" with a font style of "Regular" and replace with formatting: text color red. Be sure not to accidentally put anything in the replace text field -- it should be entirely empty. Now all entirely Regular words are red.
Repeat with the font style "Italic". Now all words that are entirely Regular or Italic are in red.
Search for "\b\w+\b" with a text color of Black. This will find all words that are neither entirely in Italic nor entirely in Regular.
In case you never used it before, the GREP expression means "a word boundary -- one or more word characters -- a word boundary". Essentially, it does a 'Find entire word' for any length of words.
Note that if you have words in, say, bold, bold italic, or 46 Light Italic, you will have to mark these as well with the check colour, or else you'll also find them 'bad'.
You might want to create a new swatch for marking, so you can delete it afterwards, replacing with Black again.
... Are you familiar with how to use scripts? It might be a bit easier if I wrote a tiny script, although my method will find all rogue formatted text.

Are chinese fonts supported in Acrobat 10.0.3 Standard?

I have Adobe Acrobat 10.0.3 Standard installed, but it was from a remote location. When I try to open a pdf with Chinese font in ACROBAT (not Reader), it prompts for the installer location (which I do not have). Is there just a patch I can run to allow chinese fonts in Adobe Acrobat 10.0.3 Standard?

Simplified Chinese Font 8.x

Hi.
The IFS version running on our Citrix servers require Adobe Reader 8.x. We have Chinese users loading documents with Chinese Fonts. What I'm searching for is Simplified Chinese Font Pack for Adobe Reader 8.x. We have earlier used Adobe Reader 7.x, then upgraded to 9.x. But then we had to downgrade to 8.1. At Adobe Support there is no download for other font packs than Chinese Simplified Fonts for 9.x.
So if anyone have the Chinese Simplified Font Pack for Adobe 8.x I would be were pleased.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks a lot for your help. I'm searching for Adobe Reader 8.x for Windows Fonts pack.
What I tried was to copy the Acrobat 7.0\Resouce\CIDFont and CMap folder to the Reader 8.0\Resource\CIDFont and CMap folder. This works! I'm now able to view PDF documents containing Chinese fonts. I'm not sure if this could lead to other problems. For the moment it could be used as a workaround until I get the Windows Reader 8.x Simplified Chinese Font pack.

Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.1.0, Chinese Fonts & OCR

You can see the version of Adobe Acrobat I am using. When I scan a document with Chinese fonts they appear just fine on screen. That means I've got "pictures" of the characters. However, I want to use my OCR function so that I actually have the individual Chinese characters and individually manipulate them (bring them into a word processor). I don't even know if this is possible, but if it is can anyone tell me how to do it?
Thanks

"7.1.4" was the last update for Acrobat 7.
There are no updates after this as the Acrobat 7.x product family went into product End of Support.
This URL is to the Acrobat product update page.
Scroll down to view the 7.x updates. You can manually download and install each in turn.
