Save as PDF and fonts

When I choose "save as pdf" in the print dialogue box, are the fonts used in the document automatically embedded in the PDF?
I would like to email this PDF to a Windows user, but want to ensure they see the same that I see on my Mac, wit all fonts and layout correctly displayed.
Thanks.
Simon

That is correct. The windows user will see the pdf the way you saved that document as a pdf, with the fonts and layout as you had saved it in the document.
hope this helps

Save as PDF and Save PDF as PostScript options in the Printer dialog are not supported.

I downloaded Indesign CS3 trial and liked everything about it until I attempted to print to postscript and got that message. Nothing I have tried has helped. I have seen in various forums that others are having the same problem, but haven't found any solution offered. I am running Tiger 10.4.10 on a new Intel Imac with 3G ram. This is a procedure I use very often in my workflow, and have never had this problem with CS2 on my PC or other Macs. Is there a solution? I downloaded the .1 update and installed that and it didn't change anything.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.
Its the first time Im using print booklet option to save my file. I have the same problem when trying to save as pdf and get the

I really appreciate any help.

Certain pop up windows are not apperaing on my screen. Save as PDF and Doc preferences never appear

Certain pop up windows are not apperaing on my screen. Save as PDF and Doc preferences never appear, and lock me out until I press return. So they are active, I just can't see them. Any ideas?

They are obviously off the screen somewhere. Did you have a dual monitor set up at one time? You can try increasing the resolution of your screen to see if you can get a part to show or maybe just resrt the preferences (Cmd(Ctrl)+Opt(Alt)+Shift as you restart AI) to reset the defaults.

Stupid PDF Question: What's the difference between "Save As PDF" and Printing to a PDF "printer"?

Is there a quality difference?
The "Save As" seems to run Distiller, but if I select "Print Document" and select "Adobe PDF" as the printer, it also seems to work OK, although I sometimes get a "Times" font not available, will be replaced by "Times New Roman", even though I can't find any reference to "times" in my book.
Is there an advantage to running Distiller?
Thanks!

> Is there a quality difference?
I'd expect them (as well as print-to-Ps & Distill) to be the same for the same settings.
We print to Ps & Distill, for several reasons, not all of which may apply to you:
More control. Distilling provides menus for everything Adobe lets you control in PDF gen. Print/SaveAs may not (and don't in our environment).
Faster printing (Frame doesn't have to wait for the tps to pdf gen). You can get back to work while a long job renders.
Unequal versions/different platforms. We author on FM8/Unix and Distill on Acro9/PC.
> ... although I sometimes get a "Times" font not available, will be replaced by "Times New Roman", even though I can't find any reference to "times" in my book.
Save the component files to MIF and examine with a plaintext editor. If not found, the font invocation is probably coming in with a text inset, or a graphic of type DWG, DXF, EPS, PDF or possibly SVG.

Using "Save as PDF" changes fonts

I have some documents in czech in FrameMaker 12. When I print to pdf the documents converts all right, but when using "save as pdf" all arial fonts are replaced with Times New Roman and the entire process seems to use a lot of time and computer memory. The Save as PDF always have been buggy, but some of my customers apparently seems to need this feature. How does one troubleshoot the strange behaviour of font replacement ?
Best regards
Bjørn

Usual suspects:
AdobePDF printer instance is not set as the default (use SetPrint utility available from http://sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm).
Printer vs. soft fonts (i.e. installed fonts)
Are you using a codepage Arial font for Czech or a unicode enabled version?
Distiller joboptions - embed & subset all fonts; Cancel if embedding fails
Avoid CMYK option with OTF Pro and WGL-TT fonts unless you specifically are creating output for colour press work

FrameMaker 10 Save as PDF and landscape pages

Using FrameMaker 10 on Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit system - When I use the Save as PDF function on a book containing both portrait and landscape pages, the landscape pages are clipped to portrait mode. If I print to Adobe PDF, the page orientation is correct in the PDF, however, no bookmarks are generated. If I check the Convert CMYK colorsto RGB setting in the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog box, then the page orientation in the PDF is correct, and the bookmarks are generated as they were in FrameMaker 8.
Is there a method to this madness?

I have Acrobat 8 Pro. The explanation of the RGB mode with XP makes sense. I did not know that. Makes me wonder how Frame 8 was producing all the nice PDFs we have used for the last couple of years.
I tried that setting because I saw others were having issues with that and wondered if there was a relationship between the two. Just a guess.
Printing to a file and distilling it does not produce a PDF at all.
Thanks for your help.

Buttons to save as .pdf and as .xlsx

Hello everyone,
I have used the following code to save as pdf but what I would like to do something similar not exactly that (found the code in here Macro
to create Excel data to PDF file. )
Sub SavePDF()
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:="C:\PDFs\No." & _
ActiveSheet.Range("AY8").Value & ".pdf", _
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:I50").ExportAsFixedFormat _
OpenAfterPublish:=False
End Sub
- What I want is saving the file automatically by getting the name from three cells. For example K10, A10, K12 and if the name already exists in that folder than automatically put an underscore on the end or something similar.
- Furthermore I would like to save data only from Sheet 1 (My Sheet name is: Testing) and page 1 and not the whole sheet. Is that possible?
- Moreover, make the file as read only
- To end, as title says, I would like to add another button to save the sheet that I am working at as it is and not the whole workbook using the same customization as for the pdf.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Ioannis,
Base on your code, it is used to export the current sheet to pdf.
To save specify sheet to a different file, we could use
Worksheet.SaveAs method.
To check whether file is exist, we could use Dir method.
If Dir([file path]) <> "" Then
MsgBox "File exists."
Else
MsgBox "File doesn't exist."
End If
To make the file as read only, we could use
worksheet.Protect to lock the worksheet. If someone want to change the data, he needs the password. The
Workbook.Protect method can protect whole workbook.

Is it possible for me to script Illustrator to save as PDF and attach to email ?

Hi,
I am after a script to save my current working file as PDF (with some settings) and then bring up a blank outlook email with that file attached ?
I do a lot of artwork and have to get it approved, I am getting bored of manually saving to PDF then going to find the file and then clicking send to > mail recipient etc etc
You know the drill guys.
So would it be possible for me to just run a script that does all that for me ready to insert the persons name or even add the persons name within the script ?
thanks
Lee

Well, as the kids' paper-crafts book I used to try to put together which frustrated the hell out of me, mockingly read on the bottom of the instructions: "ТЕРПЕНИЕ И ТРУД ВСЕ ПЕРЕТРУТ"
That is, patience and perseverance will overcome all.
To use the below, you've gotta get Autohotkey_L, I believe, and it's not that hard to use.. but it takes some time to learn the various things if you want to write your own ones like this:
{{YOUR_OWN_HOTKEY_HERE}}::
MyTempFile = C:\Users\{{YOUR_USER_NAME}}\last_proof_sent.txt
Run {{YOUR_JSX_SCRIPT}}.jsx                                                  ;Save the PDF proof - the script needs to write a temp text file in a place somewhere, which writes the full name of your saved PDF!
                                                                                                          ; I called my temp text file "last_proof_sent.txt"
CurrentDateTime := A_Now                                                        ;get current time
sleep, 500
FileGetTime, FileTime, %MyTempFile%                                              ;get mod date of this temp file
TimeCounter = 0                                                                                ;initialize time counter for waiting for PDF to save
While(CurrentDateTime > FileTime and TimeCounter < 1000)                    ;waiting period to see if temp text file has updated since start of this script
sleep, 20
TimeCounter++
FileGetTime, FileTime, %MyTempFile%                                                      ; each time get the modification date of the temp text file
If(CurrentDateTime < FileTime){
FileRead, MyPDFFileName, %MyTempFile%                                                  ;read the contents of temp file for location of PDF file path (It was written there by your JSX script, hopefully)
If Not ErrorLevel{

m.Subject := "Greetings to all"                                                                      ; <---- Subject -----
m.To := "address here"                                                                                    ; <---- Recipient -----

*** I have tested this on one file where I had a test folder on my desktop. The ExtendScript likes to put the file path like "~Desktop/", but I used myFile.fsName to get the full "C:/Users/Me..." name in case it was gonna be confusing to AHK.

Save as PDF and AI file at the same time?

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if it's possible to save an AI file as both an AI file & PDF file at the same time??
Where i work, we always need to save an AI file and a PDF file. So is there a way I can set up my Illustrator so everytime i save something, it'll save the AI file and automatically create the PDF too? ..
Or is there no way around .... Save as: Illustrator file. / Save as: PDF file in two separate actions?...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jay

No, it is not possible in the base product.
(I guess it is probably doable with scripting, I'll defer to others on that.)
But can you stop and tell us why you want to do this?
AI files with "Preserve PDF Compatibility" and PDF files with "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" are functionally equivalent. Both of which are the default. In both cases, the file contains a PDF portion that is visible to PDF viewers, and an Illustrator private data section that is used by Illustrator. Two entirely complete versions of the information that can stand on their own appear in both file types.
While I realize the requirement may be beyond your control, it would still be good to understand it's origin.

PDF and Font Problems 10.6.8

Ugh.
MBP13 7,1 (mid 2010) 2.4g C2D 4G Ram
I use Vectorworks 2011 to produce CAD drawings for customers and the plant. Recently I began having issues with my PDFs of my CAD not being fully distilled - various issues but primarily most dimensions not visible. I have read that PDF issues cropped up beginning with 10.6.7 and that certain PS fonts can be the issue. As well as outdated PDF readers used by my recipients. In a short-sighted fit of frustration I began monkeying with Font Book and Font Caches.
My maladies are
1. My PDFs are incomplete
2. Received MS Office filed open "blank". Now MS OFFICE 2011 no longer has common Fonts such as Arial and Times Nee Roman.
Can I fix this or do I need to go back to 10.6.6 and reinstall Office?
Thanks in advance.
BTW this forum is surprising difficult to nav on an iPhone.

MS Office font Problem solved in case anyone else stumbles upon this.

Export to PDF and font size

Hi,
When I export the report to PDF, the font size is getting reduced. It is because of the legal size I have set in the report. If I set the print size to letter the font size are retained after export to pdf. I am using CR for visual studio 2005. Please help.
Thanks,
Priya

Hi Priya,
Try with this:
Go to the following registry sub key:
HKEY_USERS\[your security profile]\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.2\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Right-click the sub key and click New > DWORD Value. Name the DWORD value "ForceLargerFonts" and set it to the value of 1.
Note :Backup the registry before making any changes.
