Problem with pdf arabic display

Hi. Please if any one can guide me to how to display the arabic fonts in the pdf format in details. I have tried the substitution and the imbedding techniques described as described in the documentation, but it does not seem working. I think the i have a problem understanding how to control the character set itself in the pdf. i could not understand what the encoding is representing and that might be the problem.
My goal is to direct my reports to display and print Arabic to the acrobat reader. i have searched for support from the acrobat site and downloaded their latest version which they say is supporting arabic but it is not working. i will appreciate it a lot if any one can guide me to the proper setup and configuration for my report application server and the Acrobat reader to support arabic fonts ...etc.
Thanks in advance and i hope some one will help me as soon as possible.

Hi,
you should set :
NLS_LANG=ARABIC_UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. AR8MSWIN1256
REPORTS_ARABIC_NUMERAL=HINDI
REPORTS_BIDI_ALGORITHM=UNICODE
and use the Font subsetting feature as follows:
1. Edit the <ORACLE_HOME>/tools/common90/uifont.ali file
2. Find the [ PDF:Subset ] section.
3. make an entry for the arabic font you have used in your report against it's TTF file eg: "arial" = "arial.ttf" .
4. make sure that the directory in which the ttf file is present is included in the REPORTS_PATH.
hope this helps,
Reza.

There is a problem with the arabic vowelization in the browser version 4.0 although we didn't face this problem with the previous versions ,so please fix it up quickly because it affects on our work

Do you have an Arabic version of Firefox installed which isn't displaying the vowelization correctly, or are you trying to read it using an English language version?
There are a few add-ons for Arabic which might possibly help here: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=arabic&cat=all&x=0&y=0 Arabic add-ons]

CUPS problems with PDF printing

I am having all manner of problems with PDF printing. Recently added a Lexmark MX710 and have 7 machines that were previously printing fine to an X652de a T652 as well as a Samsung CLP770. All network printers.
Now there are bizarre issues with PDF printing. CUPS version 1.6.1. The MX710 will blue screen and reboot when printing one specific pdf without fail. There are all kinds of random nonsensical results when printing from different locations. A pdf that stalls the X and T652 with "filter error" will print from my own machine to the same printer, using the same versions of cups, .ppd file, and everything package related to cups.
Yet other PDF files will print, while some print complete gibberish, I can't find any rhyme or reason or anything predictable about any of it other than to say printing postscript files works fine all around.
This has been universally in KDE printing through Okular.
I've tried some things I've found suggested, such as modifying the mime.conv as suggested by an old ubuntu thread, adding the a2ps package, all to zero effect.

At this point the only reasonable explanation I can think of is that the ppd package I downloaded and installed via included shell script from lexmark for the mx710 caused this whole catastrophe. The only common thread for this problem starting was that I used this on all of the affected machines and they now all manifest problems. And on four of these machines this is literally all that was done, they were loaded in september, have not been updated via pacman in any way, and are running the exact same version of cups poppler, and okular that they were then, which was working, and now cannot print pdf to any printer at all without causing one of several problems depending on the printer.
I cannot seem to get this reversed though. I've gone so far as to force remove all the cups packages, and delete the files associated with the install script, but the problem remains afterward. From what I can see so far all this lexmark package did was display a license agreement, then copy the ppd files in it's folder to /usr/share/ppd/Lexmark. This particular printer, the mx710 has no .ppd available that I have found other than this one from Lexmark directly. Open printing doesn't have anything for this model.
This printer's driver has some kind of a cups filter driver with it that the install script presumably installs, I suspect this could be what caused the problem specifically, but I must not be removing it correctly, despite following the file removal suggestions in the Lexmark readme for uninstallation. CUPS printing is something I am new to and only have a basic understanding of.
To answer some specific questions I nearly forgot, I don't have cups pdf installed. I have chrome installed which can successfully save pages to PDF, previously it could also print pdf, and presumably it prints everything as pdf given the cups pdf workflow. That is also broken now too, so printing from the browser causes the printer to fail as well. If I save as pdf from chrome, and print with adobe reader, it works.

Problem with PDF extract in a report

Hi guys,
We are facing a peculiar problem with PDF extract in a report. When we run a report and export PDF , all the records in the result set are populated in the PDF. however, if I navigate away from the report and return back to the same report, and click on export pdf (with the result set already populated) i get a blank PDF document without any records. If i run the report again and then export the PDF it works fine.
Export excel works fine for all cases.
I am assuming it has got something to do with the way the system handles the cache for PDF export.
I also found that this occurs only when we have a value list filter with "none" set as default,and in this case, initially on opening the report for the first time the query does not get executed automatically.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
immanuel

Hi Immanuel,
Have you tried clearing the cache? My guess is, it is probably a defect.
Regards,
Vikram

Printing Problems with PDF - Adobe Acrobat

Printer - HP Deskjet 3070A
Laptop - Asus Zenbook running Windows 7 Home Premium
Issue: Printing problems with PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Dear All,
Please help!
My printer was working absolutely perfectly until my brother in law recently needed to borrow my printer. He plugged in his laptop running Windows 8 (awful thing that is). Since he did this to print his own PDF, I cannot print mine.
Although all the text will appear on the page perfectly both in the document view and on actual printing, it appears that some of the transparent formatting stuff on a PDF - such as boxes you have to fill in and transparent areas (such as you find on glorious tax forms) are omitted completely. In fact, in their place I was getting a single black dot. Now, after uninstalling and re-installing updates for the printer, windows 7, adobe acrobat reader, etc.etc. I get squat. Just all the text laid out but none of the shading or boxes.
I have tried fiddling with the printer settings; the print as 'photo' option, dpi settings, greyscale - as much as I can think of and I am thoroughly stumped.
In a desperate attempt, I even installed the Universal Printer Drivers - thinking it might have been that. No. All I got was a page of gobbledygook. Consequently, I uninstalled and reinstalled the normal drivers again.
If there are any wonderful people out there with any fabulous ideas about how I can get my shading and boxes back; I'd very much appreciate it. Sadly I have a tax return to fill out (which is already fabulously late) and need my printer to work!
Much appreciation in advance x

Hey there @Reverie!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see that the printer is no longer printing in the correct format after it was plugged into the Windows 8 computer! You mentioned you have run the updates and uninstalled/re-installed the printer software. Have you uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe software? Are you getting the same issue from other programs as well? Are you getting the same issues if you are logged in as a different user on the computer?
I have located the HP Update Software Utility that may be able to help. You can download an run the utility. It may be able to locate any other updates for the printer.
I would also recommend running a disk cleanup on the computer to clear any temporary files and junk files that may be causing some performance or software issues. If you do not know how to run a disk cleanup on the computer please follow this document regarding Delete files using Disk Cleanup. It is recommended to restart the computer after a disk cleanup. After the restart try the print job again!
Let me know if that helped and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Times Font Problems With PDFs

Hello,
I am having an intermittent problem with PDFs with Times fonts.
Sometimes the PDFs print OK and other times words will be jumbled together or strange characters will take the place of certain punctuation marks. There are several other things that seem to happen, but I cannot remember every issue. Every time there is a problem, the PDF "Looks good on the monitor!".
This happens on 10.3.9 and Os9 machines also.
I have done Permission Repairs on a regular basis, cleaned my Font Caches, used FontFinagler etc.
I have run Norton on the Os9 machines, taken all fonts out of ATM and put them back in, trashed Adobe prefs, etc.
Sometimes this happens on PDFs from PCs, other times it happens on PDFs from Macs.
All of the versions of Acrobat we are using are Professional versions with the latest updates, so that shouldn't be the issue.
If anyone has any input on this, it will make my life considerably easier.
TIA,
David

David,
It sounds like the problem PDF docs did not have the fonts embedded into the docs when they were created originally, and the Times font on your computer is different. A couple of possible options, (a) ask the original creator to re-make the PDF doc with embedding the fonts, or (b) try re-writing the doc by doing a Save As... in Acrobat.
Hope this helps.

Problem with hotmail calendar display

Problems with hotmail calendar display.

I am almost a total computer novice and am having what I think is the same problem Just got my first Apple computer (Macbook Pro). MSN Hotmail is my email account. All the events on my 'hotmail' account are now unreadble because they are squished to the left side of the screen and I don't find any instructions as to how to fix this in the system. This problem didn't exist when I first started using my MAC two days ago, but now I'm stuck. Everything else in my 'hotmail' seems to work fine. Don't know what Chrome or Firefox is or if there is a cost for them. Also, have never downloaded a program if any kind.
My calendar is critically important to me and I don't have a clue as to what to do now. Hope you can help.
Thanks. Linda

Anyone experiencing problems with pdfs with Mountain Lion?

When I try to open pdfs downloaded from the internet via Safari to the Mountain Lion desktop I get this message:
"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I have encountered this problem with pdfs downloaded from several sources.
When I open pdfs received in email messages there is no probem.
Can anyone advise please?

I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

Since i have upgraded my i phone5 to 7.0.3 it has problem with 3g it display the service message every time, it reduce the battery life also.

Problem with pdf display downloaded from application server

Hi all,
I have a problem with displaying pdf downloaded from application server (saved in BINARY MODE).
I am getting the pdf output of adobe form in FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF as rawstring back to my program and then converting that rawstring into binary form using the function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING.
Now, when I export the data to presentation server directly using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, the pdf is downloaded properly.
However, when I save the data to application server file by looping at the internal table obtained from SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY and using TRANSFER, and subsequently downloading the file in "unconverted format" from AL11 to my desktop, I am getting a "blank" pdf file (with the same number of pages as the one downloaded using gui_download).
I have tried different encodings during download but in those cases i get corrupted pdf message. only the default option of INTIAL value seems to work.
I am forced to believe that there is a problem in my code which saves the data to app server but I cant find any solution that is logical. Any solution to this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sasi

Problems with special characters displaying in PDF when exported.

I have a very frustrating question. I've never had any problems with font and pdfs before switching to the operating system for Mac. Of course, they have Helvetica Neue pre-installed as a system font. The problem is, Bold doesn't work and is not an option. I've tried using Helvetica Neue (TT) but special character and punctuation disappear completely.
See below:
MЧnica PОrez
Unfortunately, that is supposed to say Monica Perez. There are supposed to be marks above the "o" and "e". Can anyone help me?

Try copying your T1 Helvetica Neue font into the Applications/Indesign/Fonts folder. This will give you the complete family in Indesign overriding the system TT.

Printing problem with .pdf

27" iMac (2012), OS X 10.9.1, Canon MF4770n laser connected by ethernet cable through AirPort Extreme, HP C4200 connected directly via USB
The Problem: I received a .pdf file via e-mail and downloaded it. It consisted of a series of forms in unknown original format. I needed to print them out, sign them and return them. I opened .pdf in Preview but when I tried to print it, I got only blank pages from the printer. The printer seemed to be operating normally in all other respects.
What I have tried:
1. Successfulloy printed material from other applications using the same computer and Canon printer.
2. Successfully printed a different .pdf file from Preview using the same computer and Canon printer.
3. Successfully printed the offending .pdf from Preview on the same computer and the HP ink jet printer.
4. Successfully printed the offending .pdf from Adobe Reader using the same computer and Canon printer.
Since I was able to print the .pdf using Adobe Reader, this problem is not critical but it is rather mysterious. Any suggestions would be appeciated.

Problem with PDF export and embedded font (characters disappear)

Designer: Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2
Engine: CR4E 2.0 SP2 (runtime_12.2.203)
Hi there!
we found a problem in the pdf export. It seems like there would be a problem with the embedded fonts, the problem is as follows:
Rpt file with, for example only a text box which contains the german string " Änderungs Schlüssel ".
Export the Rpt file with CR4E to a pdf file.
When we open the pdf file in Adope Reader 8, the text appears to be correct,
but if we print the PDF file from the Adope Reader, the text changes to " nderungs Schl sselu201C,
here we are missing ther german umlaute.
When we open the file for example with an alternative PDF reader like Foxit Reader, there they are also missing.
After i found some posts here in the forum, there are people facing the same problem, since i couldn't find a solution in the forum, we build a little workaround for it that works for us.
For all of you that have the same problem here the workaround:
We used the IText JAVA library, this jar can can help as to fix the PDF file so the text is displayed correctly.
Here the code:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
doc.open("C:\XY.rpt", OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
//... database logon,.....
InputStream inputStream = doc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
inputStream = PDFHealer.heal(inputStream);
//... write the stream some where

The helper class using IText:
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfImportedPage;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
public class PDFHealer
   public static InputStream heal(InputStream in) throws DocumentException, IOException
      try
         ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
         PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(in);
         // we retrieve the total number of pages
         int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
         // step 1: creation of a document-object
         Document document = new Document();
         // step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document
         PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, out);
         // step 3: we open the document
         document.open();
         // step 4: we add content
         PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
         int i = 0;
         while( i < n )
            document.newPage();
            i++;
            PdfImportedPage page1 = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
            cb.addTemplate(page1, 0, 0);
         // step 5: we close the document
         document.close();
         ByteArrayInputStream ret = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray());
         out.close();
         return ret;
      finally
         in.close();
