Text Problem in 3D PDFs

Hi all,
i have been working with 3D PDFs for a while now.
i am working on buildings that have area tags placed in them in my CAD software (Bentley Architecture). the files are exported as U3D than placed into Acrobat
most of the time the text will come through perfect without any problems but on an odd ocasion the text will appear as below
as can be seen it is as if the text is missing reference points.
has anyone else came across this problem if so how did you fix it.
one thought i had was that Adobe might have a vertix limit.
these files im working with can contain alot of information and objects such as walls, floors, lines etc
regards

When you export to U3D, it looks like you're choosing an optimization/compression setting that combines nearby vertices. It's nothing to do with the PDF file, as Acrobat makes absolutely no changes to the U3D file when it embeds the annotation. Vertex counts in 3D PDF files can be into the millions, though eventually you'll run out of RAM and the scene  will be too unresponsive to be usable.

  • Field text problem creating a PDF form

    Hi,
    This might be a stupid question, but I just created a form using Adobe Designer 7.0 and when I preview the PDF, there's the lette "T" that appear in front of every dynamic text field. How can I remove that so I don't see it when I open the form to fill it?
    Thank you in advance

    Thanks for responding.
    It's a T in front of the text field. Here's a screen capture of what it looks like.

  • How can I correct "hidden" text in a searchable PDF file?

    This seems like a simple question. However, the answers are invariably complex, do not yield the desired result, and often answer a different question entirely. I say all that just to warn people up front that the "problem" is easier than how many people and PDF application developers, including Adobe, typically understand it while the proposed "solutions" are invariably a total...well, botch is a reasonable word if a bit understated.
    Here is the actual problem:
    I have "searchable" PDF files created by scanning documents and running them through an OCR process. I create "searchable" PDF files in order to archive, index, and eventually enable searching for the documents scanned. A "searchable" PDF satisfies those criteria better than any other commonly used, "portable" archive format -- though I would be happy if someone could point out an obvious alternative I may have overlooked. I do not need perfect OCR results. If I need a document to edit or perhaps feed into a spreadsheet or database, I expect to be able to reprocess the page images in a given "searchable" PDF file to OCR and convert the contents to Word, RTF, Excel, or another file format as necessary with more care for the results than for the archived document itself. Therefore, the "searchable" PDF document is the scanned page images which compose it while the OCR generated "searchable" text is secondary, but still important. Therefore, each file must contain scanned page images of sufficient detail to be efficiently converted by OCR if possible and legible enough for whoever views the images to be able to work out what an OCR process may fail to understand. Once scanned, those pages are the "document" and therefore "immutable." However, OCR is imperfect. For a searchable document archive, it does not have to be, but some errors are significant in that they may prevent the document from being found by a search. Therefore, there must be a way to view and, if necessary, edit the "hidden" text in a "searchable" PDF without altering the visual display of a document or how it is printed. No strike-throughs. No visible "corrections." None of the stuff PDF editors want to insert into a PDF file when editing it. I do not want to edit the document without exporting it to a format appropriate for an editable document. I just want adequately "correct" hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file.
    I apologize for the length and redundancy in my description of the problem. However, past attempts to explain my problem and objectives as well as what I have seen in reply to similar queries across the Internet indicate that most people trying to answer this question come at it from the same point of view shared by most, if not all, PDF tool or application vendors. They seem to think that any desire to edit a PDF file is a desire to have a PDF word processor of some sort. Or, they assume that the OCR process employed may need tweaking of the means by which people apply it and then a process like "find suspects" is adequate to deal with any errors. But no, those are not what I am trying to accomplish and answers which address those topics do not answer this question.
    In short, which tool or application from any vendor will reveal the "searchable" hidden text in a PDF produced by any OCR or other process and then enable corrections to the hidden text without changing any document display parameters at all? Note, hidden text typically includes bounding box information denoting the portion of the image from which the text was recognized. That information must not be lost or changed when editing the "searchable" text.
    So, any tools or applications capable of doing this? If Adobe Acrobat XI Pro can (use of a trial copy demonstrated that the hidden text content can be reviewed, but editing did not work by any straight-forward means I could work out while trying out the application), fine. However, $500.00 list or even a $200.00 possible upgrade from a copy of Adobe Acrobat X Standard which came with my scanner is a lot of money for personal use when review and edit of the OCR generated hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file is the only function I require. Therefore, other suggested tools or applications which do what I need for less would be greatly appreciated.

    My "claim"? Actually I've made no "claim" such as you've mentioned.
    Simply stated your OP has foundational premises that presume as factual what is not.
    Here, we're in Adobe's hosted user forum for Acrobat.
    Any other application use is not material. 
    Acrobat XI provides 3 OCR methods.
    Searchable Image, Searchable Image (Exact) & ClearScan.
    Only the first two provide the "hidden" text output.
    (Glyphs have no stroke, no fill)
    From back to the Acrobat 3 product family the design functionality of Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) has been to facilitate the use of Find / Search.
    The "hidden" text is can be touched up. Acrobat Pro provides the facility to view the hidden text.
    So you can see what the OCR output that correlates to the bit-map images of the characters that are present.  
    With Acrobat XI Pro use Tools - Protection -Remove Hidden Information
    In the Remove Hidden Information pane select "Hidden text" then "Show preview".
    The default for the preview is "Show Only Hidden Text".
    Back in the PDF --
    You'd select some of the hidden text and retype what you suspect is the correct string of characters.
    Save and return to the preview of the hidden text.
    If you got it right, good. Continue.
    If not, darn - try again.
    Plug 'n chug -- somewhere over the rainbow it'll be done eh.
    Full disclosure -- this is something I've done (enquiring minds don't you know).
    I've found it to be a rather Sisypean undertaking.
    So, "doable" but not practicable.
    This is to be expected because such touchups are not the concern / focus of the output from Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact) - (the names tell it all).
    To have touchup "editablity" of an OCR output using Acrobat make use of ClearScan.
    ClearScan replaces recognized character bit-maps with a character from an Acrobat internal font.
    The character strings can be selected to change to a generic, system available font.
    Something that is good to know when embarking on the "tweak the PDF" journey is that PDF (the file format / technology as defined by its ISO Standard, ISO 32000-1) does not tolerate "editing". PDF is decidely not a word processor file format and "editing" can quickly render a PDF unusable.
    Minor touchups can be made and your best "tool" for this is still Acrobat Pro. (Save As often and periodically "bank" the PDF via some file rename scheme.) 
    Be well...

  • Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

    Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
    The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
    We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
    Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
    What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
    This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
    However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Nifty Styles
    (Norfolk, England)
    P.S.  I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

    Thank you for all your help above.
    Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
    1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
    2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
    Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
    Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
    var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
    var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
    strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
    this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
    If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
    I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
    Kind Regards,
    Nifty

  • Text Missing when using PDF Convert but OK when using print PDF

    I am using Acrobat Pro 9 in Wnidows 7 and Microsoft Publisher 2003.
    When I use the CONVERT command to create a PDF - it is missing all of the text on the master page.
    If I create the PDF with the PRINT command - everything is OK.
    PS: The same Publisher File on another computer using Acrobat Pro 8 works fine -  CONVERT or PRINT and no missing text
    I prefer to use convert because sometimes the PRINT command drops some of the hyperlinks.

    You're posting in the wrong forum, but you already know that...
    In any case, if you're running XP (you didn't supply any info about your environment, which is critical), there's a Microsoft HotFIX patch for PostScript printers such as Acrobat to fix the missing text problem. Do a Google for "Framemaker hotfix missing text" to locate the patch.

  • Text missing when printing PDF

    We're having a problem with printing PDFs to our networked large format Canon ipf8000 printer from our Mac Pros. We have two Mac Pros, both are having the same problem. When printing a PDF through Acrobat Pro that we have created using either from Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign, that contains live text information (font's are embedded as the applications do this by default when saving a PDF), none of the text will print. All graphics and images will print but text will not.
    This initially started off as an issue where the printer would print some characters incorrectly, then this progressed to printing complete gobbledygook, to not printing any text at all.
    We had thought that it may be a printer driver problem, but we recently just bought a new printer (same model, just an updated version ipf8300), and installed the new drivers for it and this issue still occurs on this machine.
    Converting the text to outline before saving the PDF and sending it to print is the only solution we have found so far to get the text to print.
    I have tried printing the same document from a PC, again using Acrobat Pro, and it has gone through completely fine, all text is present and correct, which leads us to believe it is a Mac related issue and not a printer related one.
    Has anyone else experienced this or know of a fix for the problem, other than what we are doing currently?

    By pressing [cmd + I] the Inspector opens up and clicking on the rightmost tab 'Annotations' you should be able find those Annotations again. I do this regularly to find the empty annotations I accidentally create while clicking through slides.

  • Facing a problem reading converted PDF chinese document

    Hello I m facing a problem reading Chinese simplified document,,I  converted a TIFF file into PDF and installed Chinese simplified font,,my  need is to select the contents of the converted pdf and copy,paste into  a translator(google or systran) inorder to translate the chinese fonts  into English..but i could not select the converted pdf's contents in  text format,,it copies as images again..Please help with this..

    As the PDF page content is a image (the TIFF) there is no text to to select/copy or save as to text.
    Running the PDF through OCR would provide what OCR "thinks" are the characters.
    However, Adobe Reader does not provide OCR capability.

  • Upgraded to Adabe 10.1x reader and drag and drop text problems

    I cannot drag and drop text from my saved PDF files to word files or for example, into online forms since upgrading to Adobe new reader version today. How can this problem be resolved?

    So after a month of trying to figure all this out I FINALLY fixed the problem!
    Before you do anything just go to your destop > right click personalize (this is for windows 7 - might be different for XP; I honestly forgot, but same idea) > find "window color" > select "advance appearance settings
    (I think can be found by just typing "window color and appearance" in the search from the start menu).
    Finally select "active title bar" (If the font is SEGOE UI, then following the link is the best thing to do; IF ITS NOT, I would think you can just follow the same steps and modify accordingly to how you want your fonts to look in iTunes). http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/how-to-change -system-default-font-in-all-parts/dfce15db-7337-420a-a42e-517521a8502e

  • How can the garbled text problem be solved?

    I am unable to read text copied from a PDF file when pasted into Mac-Word. They are appearing gabled as a series of ASCII characteres. I have tried with PDF OCR converter available in the Apps store, with no success. Even Acrobat-Pro could not convert the file. I have come to know that the problem lies with the file's font encoding and not with copying. Is there any solution to it?. I intend to upload the PDF file so that if anybody can convert that to Word. I badly need it.

    If it is truly ASCII, you could try pasting it into TextEdit first, save it as a text file and then put it in Word?

    Hello.
    At my work, we use JavaMail (version 1.4.1) in server
    programs, processing mails with attached files from customers. Mostly it is
    TIFF images, but it can also be PDF
    files, and the attached files are extracted and saved for further processing.
    Sometimes, we have a problem, reading attached PDF
    files. The files get saved, but is of size 0 bytes. If I forward it, however,
    using an Outlook client, the forwarded item can be read by our JavaMail program, and files saved OK.
    I have tried to forward it using JavaMail, but I cannot
    compose the mail parts, that fails, however - of the same reasons: I cannot
    read the them in:-)
    It looks like it's when the mail is send from a Mac.
    Anyway, the part to read is of content type "APPLICATION/APPLEFILE" whereas when it's forwarded, it's content
    type is "APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM"
    The way, I read the part, is to check if the part is an
    instance of an InputStream, and then saving into a byte array, like this:
    h5. Object
    obj = part.getContent();
    if (obj instanceof
    InputStream) {
    InputStream
    inStream = part.getInputStream();
    byte[]
    buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
    int
    bytesRead;
    BufferedOutputStream
    outBufStream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(attFileName));
    while
    ((bytesRead = inStream.read(buffer)) != -1)
    outBufStream.write(buffer,
    0, bytesRead);
    inStream.close();
    h5. outBufStream.close();
    Problem
    is that .read() method always returns -1 when content type Is APPLICATION/APPLEFILE,
    so a file of 0 bytes are created.
    Interesting is perhaps, that debugging shows me that the
    part instance of the InputStream actually is a
    com.sun.mail.util.BASE64DecoderStream when it fails, and a
    com.sun.mail.util.QPDecoderStream
    when it works OK.
    So I have this idea, that I's a certain type of decoder
    stream we're missing? We use Java 1.6.0 update 10 and JavaMail 1.4.1. and since
    we use java 1.6 we use the JAF framework from that one, I guess?
    Hope you guys can help?
    Thanks in advance, Per Jensen

    We have two (MS Exchange) servers (from trace log):
    Microsoft Exchange IMAP4rev1-server version 5.5.2650.23
    Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.5.7226.0
    - the first one is the one, we're using here, but I have tried on the other, newer version too, and it didn't help either.
    But I've found out a couple of interesting things:
    1: Debugging shows me, that the part instance of the InputStream actually is a com.sun.mail.util.BASE64DecoderStream when it fails, and if I forward the mail via Outlook as described earlier, and it can be read OK, the part is a com.sun.mail.util.QPDecoderStream instance.
    2: I can save the WHOLE message to a file, using message.getInputStream(), and when I opens the file I can find the individual attachments - as well as the bodytext, if any - as they are separated with the disposition, mimetype and filename fields, showed as plain text. And the attachments are showed as blocks of characters; I guess it's the ascii character representation of the bytes. Here's a snippet, note the first two sentences. They seemes to be added, somehow, when I dump the message to file(?):
    <START OF DUMPED FILE>

  • Arial Font problems in old pdfs!  {Pics inside}

    Hello all.
    Here is the problem as best I can explain it!
    I have pdf files that were origanally created on a Mac (I am using Win 7) using Arial Narrow font family.  I read all the issues posted
    on the Arial Narrow font problems but none have solved the problem.  Below are screen shots of what I think might be the cause.
    When I look at the properties in Acrobat for the pdf in question here is what fonts show up.
    The only font that displays correctly is Arial-Black true type font.  The Type1 ArialNarrow displays
    as shown in the picture below. One other thing to note:  Notice how ArialNarrow is all one word?
    Is that maybe why Illustrator is having a problem with it?  I have tried to find it with no luck.
    When opened in Illustrator CS2 this is what is displayed.
    The fonts are in my fonts directory both in Windows and Illustrator.  I even loaded the older 2.35
    version that is mentioned all over the net.
    The problem is that I have hunderds of these documents some with over 200 pages each.  I have messed
    with this for several days now and am at a loss as to what to do next.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! ! !

    Substituting fonts in Illustrator using Type>Find font is not going to work.
    If you look at the screenshots you'll see the fonts are CID fonts with custom encoding. The fonts on Marks Computer probably have ANSI encoding (i.e. standard western character set) and the character maps will not match. As a result you will not get legible text but just squares or other things (diamonds, dots etc.)
    Mark sent me a file to look at and below is what I wrote in a direct e-mail to him.
    <quote>
    The problem is that the PDF was made directly from InDesign, which converts the fonts to CID fonts (normally used for Asian fonts like Chinese, Japanese and Korean) and in doing so it created a character map (encoding) that is not compatible with our regular fonts which use the Western Character set (ANSI encoding). Which explains why replacing the embedded font with one on your system doesn't work.
    There is some info on the Adobe website at the following links:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329611.html
    http://indesignsecrets.com/cid-identity-h-fonts-are-back.php
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/324995
    <end quote>
    The CID charachter problem also exists in Acrobat 7 and 8, but got solved in Acrobat 9.
    The only thing that worked to get a PDF with readable and editable text was to use an OCR program (Abby FineReader in my case, but Omnipage can do the same) to process the PDF and in doing so the embedded fonts were basically OCR'ed using system fonts and then saving it again as a PDF had basically the same effect as replacing the embedded fonts by system fonts. After that opening the PDF in Illustrator gave normal text and the file could be edited. Though Serif DrawPlus did a better job in opening the PDF as an editable file.
    In this case the OCR route is an option because the PDF file contained a table. If it had been a drawing the OCR option might be less useful depending on how the OCR software would handle the drawing part, unless getting the text out of the PDF and reinsert it into the drawing would be sufficient.
    Maybe the above info is of some use for those who are dealing with the same problem.

  • Problems with some PDF files

    Hi,
    I have problems with some PDF files. After clicking on link to the file Safari shows me insted of normal document (which is working on Windows) hashes, numbers etc like it was a problem with coding or something. First I was using Preview, I though that maybe installing Acrobat Reader with plugins will solve the problem, but ofcourse it didn't. Did somebody has this same problem?

    Back up all data.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults delete -app Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Quit Safari. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.
