Problems with reader an arial narrow font

like the title of the thread says , y have a problem opening some pdfs , not with all , the problem is an error message telling me that the arial narrow font is not available and the pdf is filled with dots instead of characters . I´ve tried to change fonts folder in windows but it didnt result , so i dont know what to do , i´ve also tried use the option of use local fonts only but it doesn´t works.
PD: Sorry for my bad english , I hope someone could help me , thanks in advance

I believe the .lst font files only exist on mac, and the PC .lst file are some MS office format.
Have not used amp font viewer as I have suitcase on my Win machine, but try closing all unnecesary fonts, especially arial narrow. I do remember an ID conflict with one of the olders versions of Helvetica Neu with arial.
Did this used to work before and is something that started up recently, you may want to look into what new installs you had, search through and kill your processes one by one, or do a system restore.
Finally I would look at your copy of arial bold, and disbale that and install and opentype version. The newer opentype version will probably use one fo the newer FOND IDs adn you will have access to more characters and be crossplatfrom. If you cannot disbale arial bold, then it is the version that is one of the sytem core fonts, and you can try repairing your windows install which may replace that.
You may have a bad sector, run checkdisk

Font problem with Reader 9.3

We have a problem with unusual font displayed for a PDF file created on a Mac with Microsoft
Office. It displays properly on Windows with Adobe Reader 9.3 and on Linux (Fedora 12 and
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4) with kpdf and evince. However, on both Fedora 12
and RHEL 5.4 with Reader 9.3, the fonts used are different from what is expected.
Is there a known issue with fonts in Reader 9.3?

CS6 - Arial Narrow fonts do not show up

I installed CS6 on a brand new computer with Win 7 Pro 64 bit. The arial narrow font will not show up in the pull down menu for fonts. This seems to be a common problem as there are a lot of results when searched online. I tried several of the solutions, but none have worked. Some people have said it is a Microsoft Office thing. I found a hotfix for Office 2007, but I am using Office 2010 so the hotfix does not apply. Has anybody ever figured this out? Please help.

Illustrator CS2 Suddenly not Recognizing Arial Narrow Fonts

I created a graphic earlier today that used Arial Narrow Bold Italic. Later on today I had to update the graphic with new information and now it is telling me I don't have the font installed. The Arial Narrow fonts are in the fonts folder and are recognized by all other CS apps, Office apps, etc. I have replaced the fonts countless times since getting this message, restarted my computer, all to no avail. I eventually had to go to another computer to do the update. I even tried copying the fonts from that computer to mine and I still get the same error in Illustrator.
I don't know what the heck happened. I didn't install any new fonts between the time I made the graphic and the time I tried to update it. Do I need to re-install Illustrator? I need to know ASAP, as I will be updating this graphic tomorrow and of course would still like to use Arial Narrow in Illustrator.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Btw, I'm on WinXP SP2.

I had the same problem when I upgraded to CS3. Haven't explored the reasoning behind it but did try resetting (deleting) several PREF files, reinstalling the font, but nothing changed. I did find the following: Select ARIAL font and under FONT STYLE select the NARROW option. This will be give you the equivalent of NARROW REGULAR but there are no direct style options for italic, bold, or bold italic. Since I don't use the font that much, my only work around was to apply a stroke of .15-.25pt to the text for bold and a 20° shear for italic.
If anybody's got a answer to why ARIAL NARROW got wrapped as a font style of ARIAL and not just a font, such ARIAL BLACK, etc., it would be greatly appreciated.

Arial Narrow Font not embedded PDF when generated on server

Hi,
I'm struggling with some font issues. My report contains only Arial or Arial Narrow subset font. These fonts are installed on all client and server machines. When I render the report locally and export it to pdf then everything works fine, the report looks
ok and when checking the pdf properties the Arial narrow font has been embedded. After deploying it to a SSRS server 2008 R2 and render it from this server the export to pdf converts the Arial Narrow font to Helvetica messing up my report.
Any ideas how to maintain the Arial Narrow font?
As far as I can tell every condition as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159713(SQL.100).aspx are met.

Hi hans0305,
According to your description that you have problem with the font in the PDF, The font type is correct when you export report to PDF in the Preview but font changed from Arial Narrow to Helvetica when export to PDF in the Report Server, right?
This problem is related to the font-embedding of PDF. The font Arial Narrow haven’t embedded successfully to the PDF. Please check in the client machine which the report server and report manger located to make sure the Arial Narrow font have been installed
correctly by enter the Control Panel and select the “Font”.
For the client machine, closing all instances of the PDF viewer then reopening them should fix the issue. If the issue still persists, you may need a full machine reboot to get the client/server to recognize the newly installed font, you can also try an
reinstall of the font Arial Narrow.

Why Arial Narrow font not working on my blog?

I have one blog name http://articlezeneu.blogspot.com/, I have used Arial Narrow font at Post title. On Chrome and IE, it's working but on firefox it shows Arial.
Can anyone can solve my problem?

You may have to use extra CSS properties on Windows to make Firefox use the Arial Narrow font: font-stretch:condensed
When DirectWrite rendering is used rather than GDI rendering, font families are grouped differently.<br />
How a browser reacts here will depend on which font subsystem it's using.<br />
Windows has two different font subsystems: GDI and DirectWrite.

Problem with READ Statement in the field routine of the Transformation

Hi,
I have problem with read statement with binary search in the field routine of the transformation.
read statement is working well when i was checked in the debugging mode, it's not working properly for the bulk load in the background. below are the steps i have implemented in my requirement.
1. I selected the record from the lookuo DSO into one internal table for all entried in source_packeage.
2.i have read same internal table in the field routine for each source_package entry and i am setting the flag for that field .
Code in the start routine
select source accno end_dt acctp from zcam_o11
into table it_zcam
for all entries in source_package
where source = source_package-source
     and accno = source_package-accno.
if sy-subrc = 0.
delete it_zcam where acctp <> 3.
delete it_zcam where end_dt initial.
sort it_zcam by surce accno.
endif.
field routine code:
read table it_zcam with key source = source_package-source
                                             accno = source_package-accno
                                             binary search
                                             transportin no fields.
if sy-subrc = 0.
RESULT = 'Y'.
else.
RESULT = 'N'.
endif.
this piece of code exist in the other model there its working fine.when comes to my code it's not working properly, but when i debug the transformation it's working fine for those accno.
the problem is when i do full load the code is not working properly and populating the wrong value in the RESULT field.
this field i am using in the report filter.
please let me know if anybody has the soluton or reason for this strage behaviour.
thanks,
Rahim.

i suppose the below is not the actual code. active table of dso would be /bic/azcam_o1100...
1. is the key of zcam_o11 source and accno ?
2. you need to get the sortout of if endif (see code below)
select source accno end_dt acctp from zcam_o11
into table it_zcam
for all entries in source_package
where source = source_package-source
and accno = source_package-accno.
if sy-subrc = 0.
delete it_zcam where acctp 3.
delete it_zcam where end_dt initial.
endif.
sort it_zcam by surce accno.
field routine code:
read table it_zcam with key source = source_package-source
accno = source_package-accno
binary search
transportin no fields.
if sy-subrc = 0.
RESULT = 'Y'.
else.
RESULT = 'N'.
endif.

I am facing a Problem with reading images from database

Hi everybody..
any help will be most appreciated, I am facing problem with reading images from database. I am pasting my code...
string connect = "datasource = localhost; port = 3306; username = root; password = ;";
MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(connect); // creating connecting string
MySqlCommand sda = new MySqlCommand(@"select * from management.add_products ", conn); //creating query
MySqlDataReader reader;
try
conn.Open(); // Opening Connection
reader = sda.ExecuteReader(); // Executing my Query..
while (reader.Read())
byte[] imgg = (byte[])(reader["Picture"]);
if (imgg == null)
pc1.Image = null;
else
MemoryStream mstream = new MemoryStream(imgg);
pc1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(mstream);
It says Parameter not Valid... i am reading all the images from database

I agree with Viorel. You are getting the error because the format of the data is incorrect probably because the data was modify. It may not be the reading of the database the is incorrect, but the application that wrote the data into the database. You need
to compare the imgg array data with the data before it was written to the database to see if the data matches. I usually start by comparing the number of bytes which is easier to check then compare the actual to isolate which function is changing the
byte count.
An image is binary data. The standard VS methods for reading and writing data (usually stream classes) default to ASCII encoding which will corrupt binary data. The solution usually is to use UTF8 encoding instead of the default ascii encoding.
Ascii encoding with stream often aligns the data and adds extra null bytes to the end of the data which can produce these type errors.

Problem with reading config file

Hello,
I have problem with reading config file from the same dir as class is. Situation is:
I have servlet which working with DB, and in confing file (config.pirms) are all info about connection (drivers, users, passw, etc.). Everything work fine if I hardcoded like:
configFileName = "C:\\config.pirms";I need to avoid such hardcoding, I tryied to use:
configFileName = Pirms.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream ("/prj/config.pirms").toString();but it isn't work.
My config file is in the same directory as Pirms.class (C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.17\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\prj)
Also I tryied BundledResources, it isn't work fo me also.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem? with any examples or other stuff?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew

Thanks, but I am getting error that "non-static method getServletConfig() cannot be referenced from a static context"
Maybe is it possibility to use <init-param> into web.xml file like:
<init-param>
<param-name>configFile</param-name>
<param-value>/prj/config.pirms</param-value>
</init-param>If yes can anybody explain how to do that?
I need to have that file for:
FileReader readFile = new FileReader(configFile);Thanks in advance.

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.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();

Problem with Reader file when we try to save a pdf version of filled in file.

We currently create fillable forms in Acrobat XI and enable them for fill-in with Acrobat Reader. Our end users are able to key information and save it to the enabled pdf file with Reader, but they want to create a protected version of the form so nothing can be modified once they have approved it. They have been creating "locked" pdf versions of the completed form using CutePdf software. The PDF files they are creating open fine with Acrobat Pro XI or our free FoxIT reader, but when we try to open the files they created with CutePDF with Acrobat Reader, they are quite distorted. According to users, this worked with older versions of Acrobat Reader. Please let us know if you have any suggestions (other than switching from Acrobat Reader to the free FoxIT reader.
Thanks for the help!!

Can't endorse FoxIt or CutePDF, since I don't use either of them, and Adobe doesn't like us endorsing thrid party products in their forums anyway. On top of that I know several people who had really bad adware experiences with FoxIt, so I'd say stay away from it.
Most likely neither of these software developers has updated THIER software to work with Acrobat/Reader XI and the problem lies with them, since PDF is an Adobe format and they must follow the lead from here, not vice-versa.

Booklet printing problems with Reader XI (version 11.0.06)

I created an 80 page 5.5" x 8.5" booklet using Word 2011 running under OSX 10.9.2 on a new 27" iMac. I then "printed" it to a PDF file. I then opened the PDF file in Reader XI and attempted to print it out using the "booklet" option as described at
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-booklets-acrobat-reader.html#main1_Reader_and_Acro bat_X .
I planned to manually duplex the booklet booklet since my HP Color Laserjet CP1518ni printer does not have automatic duplexing. The first sign that something was wrong came when I selected "Back side only" from the Booklet Subset pop-up menu. The numbers in the Sheets from boxes showed "Sheets from 1 to 10" when I obviously needed 20 sheets to print the booklet. Repeated attempts to manually change it to "Sheets from 1 to 20" failed. Each time I changed "10" to "20", it would flip back to "10" when I clicked the "Print" button.
I set the Booklet Subset to print only the even pages and checked the "Reverse" box as I have done to successfuly print thousands of manually duplexed pages before.
The printer only printed ten sheets. The first sheet (what should be the booklet's centerfold) had page 40 on the left side as it should, but 42 on the right (it should have been 41). The last of the ten sheets printed had page 4 on the left side (instead of the expected 2) and 78 on the right side (instead of the expected 79). Even though these were obviously messed up, I went on to print the front side of these sheets, selecting "normal". It printed Page 1 on the right side as expected, but printed page 79 (instead of the correct page 80) on the left.
Folding the ten sheets into a booklet revealed the really bizarre nature of the printing snafu. Page 1 was, as expected, on the front. Turning the first page open revealed pages 4 and 5. Turning the second page revealed Pabes 8 (left) and 9 (right). This pattern continued, printing two pages, then skipping two pages, right into the centerfold pages 40 (left) and 42 (right). The first page turn after the centerfold revealed pages 43 (left) and 46 (right). The next revealed 47 (left) and 50 (right).
I am at a complete loss of how to determine where the printing process went afoul. Printing the PDF file normally (one page per sheet one-sided) resulted in all pages being printed normally.
The really frustrating part of this entire experience is that I could find no place to report this "bug" to Adobe. If anyone can help me solve this printing dilemma, or put me in touch with someone at Adobe who could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
The booklet is due at the printer's tomorrow and the inability to print a proof is a real pain. Hope the printer can print this file as a booklet. I would be happy to send this file (125 Mb) to anyone who might help.

I arrived here looking for a solution! And while reading your post the penny dropped that I didn't have a serious problem. I have a booklet of 112 pages and all I needed to do was re-order the pages as printed so that 1 is followed by a sheet with 2 on the under-face but same side and so on. The pages had printed back to front and needed flipping. But then I have a duplex printer and maybe that makes a difference. Is it to do with your manual duplexing and the order that the second pass is presented to the printer. As my duplex sheets effectively needed flipping over each one I'm wondering if you can solve your problem with a little experimentation and re-ordering before your second pass.
