Programmatically list the fonts used in a PDF

Hello.
I want to make a list of all the fonts used in a PDF. After reading (again) the ISO-32000 standard, I tend to think that the only way is to cycle through the pages and list the fonts used in each one.
Is there any other (and faster) way to do this?

Nope - that's the only way.
And don't forget, that you can NOT just look at the Page's Resource dict. You need to do a full recursive walk down the content stream finding all graphic objects that themselves have resources. Oh, and don't forget Annotations!

Upgraded to CC from CS5.5 now all Illustrator templates have a 'missing font' (myraid-Italic). How can I fix this without replacing the font?

Replacing the font is not an option. This would mean resaving thousands of company files.
Also, none of the templates use Myraid Italic. They were created with Myraid Roman.
This has never been an issue when upgrading to other versions of Illustrator.
Every file I open will pop-up with the missing font notice; this is very annoying when checking numerous files (I have to click okay everytime for the file to load).

I actually have a fairly simple solution to this for Windows 7. Don't mess with your registry or delete other fonts. Go into c:/windows/fonts. Check to see that you have the set of fonts "Segoe UI". Inside this set are 6 Segoe fonts:
Regular (segoeui)
Regular Italic (segoeuii)
Bold (segoeuib)
Bold Italic (segoeuiz)
Semi Bold (seguisb)
Light (segoeuil)
You may not have them arranged in a set, but just check that you have all of them.
Make sure programs (i.e iTunes) are closed.
If you don't have the fonts, find them on the internet, ask a friend to copy and paste them, send them to you etc. They are easy and free to get. Download them to your desktop. Right click each one and "Install".
If you already have them in your fonts folder (my problem) do this: COPY (not cut) them from your c:/windows/fonts folder to your desktop. Close windows explorer. From your desktop, right click each one and "Install". You will get a message that they are already installed and do you want to install a newer version or some such. Say "Yes". They will get re-installed.
Open iTunes and you should have all your text back!
*Based on a sample of one - hopefully it works for you.

InDesign doesn't let embed the font while exporting to PDF

I used a font while working on a document in InDesign and later while exporting to PDF I got a warning that the software is unable to include that font.
Is there a way to go around it? It was a free cyrillic font and it's not possible to buy it. I suppose creating outlines is not the right way to go
Thanks in advance

I'm no particular fan of so-called “free fonts” — you most often get exactly what you pay for. However, that having been said, in my years of gathering such fonts for debugging and problem solving, in fact very few of them are actually set with the protection bits to prohibit embedding. For TrueType and OpenType fonts, you can readily check outside of InDesign as to whether a font is embeddable in a PDF file. For Windows, right-click on a font file and check the properties; embedding privileges are described in one of the tabs. For MacOS, the FontBook utility can provide the same information for a font.
The problem is that when you attempt to use a font that is physically protected against embedding, you pretty much need to follow the advice given by Eugene. Personally, I would recommend the use a different font option, checking the font prior to using it for your rights to embed it in PDF.
Note that font licensing is legal minefield. Many fonts that are posted on-line are not really free. Some are shareware with restrictions in their written licenses that require payment for commercial use (often in ReadMe files which may somehow be “lost” when such fonts are reposted over and over again) or even pirated fonts (i.e., commercial fonts simply illegally posted on-line).
My personal recommendation is that for any commercial use, you explicitly license your fonts from a known, reliable source to avoid possible legal issues in the future.

The font weight on exported PDF's differs on pages w/ graphics in Acrobat?

Hi,
I couldn't find anyone addressing this, so here goes...
I just upgraded to iWork '06/Pages 2.02 so I could export PDF eBooks and retain the hyperlinks. Everything is working great, except that when I view the PDFs in Safari with Acrobat Reader (rather than Preview) or on a Win machine with Acrobat reader), pages that have images on them (and sometimes different bolded fonts) affect the weight of the normal article (non-bolded) font. In other words, the normal font will look slightly bolded on pages where there are also images, whereas the weight looks fine (as it did in Pages) on pages where it's only text.
This does not happen while viewing the PDF in Preview. This seems like a bug in the way Pages is compressing the PDF, which seems to be present regardless of the export quality setting used.
Has anyone else encountered this and are there any work-arounds?
Thanks a bunch!
-Mark

Hello Mark
PDF/X-3 (what Save As PDF-X creates) is a standard developed for print with the intention of eliminating compatibility problems for people submitting jobs to outside print services. It ensures that the necessary font subsets are embedded into the PDF. Maybe this is why it fixes your font problems although I've often noticed issues with fonts both on Windows and OS X. Unless you are zoomed in quite close, they can look poor on screen but print quite well. This seems to be an artifact of the viewers and font dependent.
I'm quite surprised that your hyperlinks work. Given that they are for interactive purposes I would have thought that the PDF/X-3 production process would have stripped them out.
I'm not at my Mac right now so I can't verify this but you may be able to create your own PDF workflow with Automator that generates the precise amount of image compression and font subsetting you require for your PDFs.
The end of this thread might give you a start: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4300016#4300016
I hope that is of some help.
Good luck!

I get missing fonts when opening a PDF, but the fonts are activated, I get garbage

I get missing fonts when opening a PDF, but the fonts are activated, I get garbage

The activated fonts are not the same version as those in the PDF. If you use Type>Find Font and replace the fonts with ones from your computer does it work?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

Issue with the font and alignment in SAP Script PDF

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with the font in SAP Script PDF conversion.
The output of the form is working fine but in the PDF the output is wrong.
There is a dutch letter ' ï ' which is pinted in the form output correctly but in the PDF output the character
has been changed to '#'.
and also the alignment of some text has beed changed without line spacing in between.
Please let me know what could be the problem and how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sankara Chakradhar.

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.

How can I change the font size on the post of WordPress?

I have found three websites which address WordPress style sheets:
Playing With Fonts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Playing_With_…
Font Size and Color: http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/…
How to Change Font Size In Wordpress: http://www.ehow.com/how_5469172_change-f…
Here are the instructions from the third website above:
Things You'll Need:
Site designed in Wordpress
Administrator access
Step 1
First, to change the font size on a Wordpress site you need to log into the site as administrator. If you do not know how to reach the login page, simply add "/wp-login.php" after the "www.url.com" address. Then login using the admin sign in.
Step 2
Next, get to the Wordpress file editor by going to Appearance->Editor.
Step 3
Once in Editor, identify the Stylesheet file (style.css) and click to edit. This is usually located on the right hand side under the "Styles" heading.
Step 4
Once in the style.css file, you want to conduct a search for "fontsize". This parameter is used throughout the style.css file and is the parameter used to control font size. Next to "fontsize" you will see something like "16px". Simply increase or decrease the "16" to change font size. The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit.
The way to do this is to first look at the heading it is under. If it is under "comment-template", it is obviously related to either the font size of the comments themselves or perhaps the comment form or the date/time stamp of the comment.
It may take a little trial and error to find the right "fontsize" to modify. Simply modify the one you think is correct and in a separate window, reload the page with the font you are looking to modify. If it did not change, undo the previous edit and try a different "fontsize".
I went to the Dashboard and clicked on the “Appearance” icon on the left-hand side, and then clicked on editor. I clicked on Stylesheet (style.css), but I have not been able to find the “fontsize” that would change my post font size. As the author writes: "The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit." Some of the font sizes are given as a percentage, and I don’t know if these come into question, i.e., if I should try changing one of these to see what happens.
The end result is that I still have not been able to change my post font size, other than by using the Heading-1-through-6 option, which, I understand, is not the best way to do it.

From John Waller: “If you're using IE8, hit F12 to launch Developer Tools which give you a point and click method of locating the relevant CSS rule on screen.”
I have Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) so tried this method.
This sounded like another promising possibility; however, I have not been able to change the font size in my post using this method.
I have gone to Dashboard > Posts > Edit > then moused-over my post > clicked on "edit" and then hit F12. An enormous amount (20 pages or more) of CSS appears. I tried picking out the font size that I thought pertains to the post (under Text Area), and I have changed the font size from 13px to 24px; however, I have not been able to “save” the new setting. When I go back to it, it is back to 13px.
As a result, I have not been able to use a trial-and-error method to establish which font size I must change in order to change the font size of my post.

Is it possible to change the fonts in an illustrator document in Indesign or any other program BESIDES illustrator?

Is there a quick way to change/replace the font of an illustrator document in inDesign or any other app? Thanks

Depends on what is in the AI file.
CD does a normally good job unless there are meshes and a particular type of transparency (I forget which one). I usually don't get "fancy" AI files. Stock & Trade, bare-bones types of files. these open in a few of the applications I use daily. That said, I never do it unless I need to return a format other than AI--because, well, why? I always try to use the originating application with the exception of older EPS files. As a lot of the daily stuff I do is screen printing, and because most every screen printer I deal with use CD, at some point the art has to go into CD.

CS2- How to get the fonts used in a document ?

Hi,
Can anyone tell how to find the the fonts used in the document directly without iterating through the text art used in the document.BCOZ if i iterate through each text frame or character my plugin works very slowly.I want to speed up the process of finding & replacing the fonts like wat we do manually in the "Type-> Find Font" menu thru my code.
Please post ur comments on this .If there is no direct option to find &replace the fonts used in the document ,pls let me know the simplest logic of finding & replacing all occurances of a font in a doc so that my process of doing this should be faster.
Thanks in advance.
myRiaz

As far as I know, there's no way to get a list of fonts in use in a document without iterating over the document and compiling a list by asking every piece of art.
If you want to trigger 'Type > Find Font' there might be a way to invoke that using Actions (AIActionManager.h). I'm not sure if that would help or not though.
This probably isn't very helpful depending on what you're doing, but I think this is meant to be handled by using character styles. That way you can change a style and update any related text instantly. Not much help though if you're just trying to write a S&R font plugin.

I can see a font from a previous project in a different program in Font Book and Illustrator is not finding the font when I open the file.

I am using Adobe Creative Cloud and have the new updates installed. The file was created in Artbook, but saved as a PDF. When Illustrator opens it says it does not recognize the variants (regular extended, light extended) of the main font (regular) which it does recognize. Any Clues on this front?
The font Skia-Regular_Extended is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Skia-Regular_Light-Extended is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
To preserve appearance, some text has been outlined.

Have you searched the font menu for the name of the font?
In a PDF the font might also have been renamed.
If the font is there, but under a different name, you'll have to reapply it to the text.

Change the fonts in Crystal XI R2 report?

Is there a way to globally change the fonts used in an Crystal IX R2 report, including those imbedded in the charts?

Maybe I need to clarify...
I have an existing report with numerous fields and charts where I would like to globally replace the currently used font with a unicode font to enable proper display of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. I can (to some extent) perform a select all and replace the font for those fields that are simple text displays but that doesn't help with fonts that are embedded in charts. Crystal Designer for XI R2 seems to lack a way to do this kind of search & replace - at least that I can see.

How to replace missing fonts with a specific font (and not a suggested font)

Hello all!
Looking to replace missing fonts within my document - but the drop-down selection only gives a couple of suggestions, none of which are the font I want to use.
How can I replace the fonts with a font of my choosing?
I've attached an image to give more clarity - notice how the drop-down only gives the option to select between 3 fonts without an option to select your own font - many thanks!

Same problem! The only solution I found is to prepare a textbox in a new file with all the font you need. Copy and past in the file you need to change font. Go to type/risolve missing font. Will open the same window in the pic you pasted. Then you find the font in the dropdown menu. I have to change all the Helvetica family ...it's a long go. If some one could save me. Hope to be usefull to your problem.

How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font. I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

Anna;
Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
