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!

Font issue in exported PDF from indesign

Font issue in exported PDF from indesign:
In Indesign file we have kept a sentence in “Univers LT Std” (San serif font) with all caps style that was orginally in lower case. Refer below
When we selected the sentence in exported PDF some of the characters are not selected. Refer below.
If we enable “create tagged PDF“ in export PDF setting, then the problem is solved. Refer below.
Can you please check why this problem happened? In another project also we have faced this same problem but different font “Frutiger LT Std” with all caps style. Here also same San serif font. Please check and advise to solve this issue permanently.

Without tags a PDF is a silly amount of letters, images and lines, with tags all itams a kept in their semantic context. So work with tags as it is the only way to get correct selections and export to other file types like Word DOCX.
Without tags InDesign reads from left to right from top to bottom and the font geometry might influence the correct order of letters.
Why should anyone work without tags today? If you open a tagged PDF in Acrobat DC it is much faster than without tags.

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!

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

Exported PDF looks different in Preview, Adobe Reader

Hi,
I'm relatively new to InDesign and experiencing all sort of problems. I'm trying to export PDF of my resume in a small size file to send it over the email. However, after exporting when I view PDF document in different applications, it looks different.
1) In Adobe Reader in 100% view the letters in bold are "jumping". Please see the screenshot below
2) The colors of the logo come out right when viewed in Adobe Reader. Which is 1st image:
However when viewed in applications such as Preview or just default Mac preview with space bar. The colors of the logo and the contact details comes out completely different then in Adobe Reader.
I export the PDF with the default settings that comes with smallest file size but I need to make sure it looks good as this resume is for my job and will be viewed most probably on the computer. The logo is linked to Adobe Illustator file in InDesign document.
Please help as I spend about 3 hours trying to figure it out. I would really appreciate your help!

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your answer. I've tried most of the thing you recommended but it doesn't work:
1) The file was originally created in CMYK and then I converted it to sRGB in InDesign. As well as chose transperency blend space as RGB. As for the logo then the option in Illustrator to convert the file into RGB mode seems to be disabled.
3). Exactly what I was doing.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong... Is there a way to import all the links from illustrator into InDesign file?

Font error when exporting PDF

Just exported my file from InDesign to check the PDF before sending it to the printer. Getting message "Cannot extract the embedded font 'CDGLWI+Optima-Bold'. Some characters may not diplay or print correctly."
I saw thread about emailed files garbling, but this is on my own computer.
File uses all optima fonts and none are showing correctly in the PDF. Find Font in InDesign doesn't show a problem and nor does Font Book when I validate the font files. Using In Design CS4 and OS 10.6.5.
Ideas?

Apparently a font can have a problem or perhaps something in the conversion to PDF has a problem with that font that Font Book doesn't see. After replacing font it now exports to PDF just fine.

Problem with decreased font size in exported PDF.

We have a web site running on a Windows 2008R2 server.
The site was developed with Visual Studio 2010 using .NET 4.0.and is running in 32bit. The associated application pool uses a specific local user.
We have some reports that include a barcode font. The font is installed on the server and the reports are rendered in PDF on the server side to avoid the need to have the barcode font installed on all clients. The PDF renders correctly but we are facing the decreased font size problem
We followed the instructions included in this post:
Unfortunately the part regarding VS 2010 does not seem to work.
If we add the specified Key on the HKLM section of the registry, it doesnu2019t have any effect.
If we add it on the HKCU section while logged in with the same user assigned to the application pool, everything seems to work fine. But as soon as the user is logged out, the reports stop working.
Have anybody figured out how to configure correctly those keys with this configuration?

Try putting it under the HKU/.default path. You can also use process monitor to see where the application is looking.

The font of text marker insertion is different from before

A strange behaviour from a while: the default font of text marker insertion is different from before. I don't remember what font was before, but surely not the one of now.
I think it's probably due to "firefox" installation (it has caused also a system preferences modification I discovered with a lot of trouble...)
Anyway, how I can restore the "old" default font of marker text insertion?
(the problem occurs only on insertion because in arrange the usual font view is maintained)

its hard to work out what your problem exactly is. can you give more details? why is the text marker font important? do you mean how it displays in the text marker editor?

Could you help me ? Please
Thank you, sorry for bad english too as i am learning it not naturally abusing it

How are you changing the font? If you are using Acrobat, please post in the Acrobat forum.

I cant' control the font - size displayed during edition is different from the ones (1 or more - never know) sent.

1) When I edit my e-mail, the font is always the same - arial 10 pts. But once the e-mail is sent, what I can see in my 'sent' box and what the receiver gets is all messed up, especially when I have pasted some text. There are parts with huge font and there are with such a small one that it's difficult to read it. Or the whole text is extremely large or tiny.
I need to write in HTML for I often must highlight some parts. I searched many forums but nowhere found any answer.
2) When i get an e-mail the problem is similar: it can be written with the letters you can distinguish from the other side of the room or on a contrary - you would use binoculars to read it comfortably. The least font is set to 10 pts.

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.

How to adjust the font size of iPad in printing a web page.

How to adjust the font size of iPad printout of web pages ?

In HTML Header I put textDid you mean Page Header Text? It wouldn't have done much of anything at all in the HTML Header...
However, the font doesn't do anything.Yet another universal selector problem: see +{message:id=4184109}+
How do I overwrite the style sheet? I am wondering if I change the default style sheet, does that also affect the other pages, which is not what I want. In that case you can just include the CSS inline, which will also get round the universal selector issue. You are also recommended to use a semantic HTML element instead of deprecated presentational elements like <center> and <font>. Assuming this text is the primary heading on the page, use <h1>:
<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#my_header_logo_white.jpg" alt="" title="Application" />
<h1 style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">Web Management System</h1>

Change the font typeface of text object in form Master Page

Dear all,
        I am creating a Adobe Livecycle form with multi-language support. Simply, there is a header title that is a text object in master page. I want that it can be converted to simplified Chinese from English and change its font typeface to “SimSun” when printing begins. I try the following code on its “Initize” event to do this.
Simply, I configure a print flag(Y/N) in form so that it will convert into simplified Chinese and change the font typeface to ‘SimSun’ when the flag is reset to ‘Y’.
Int langInt = i ;
If (pFlag == “Y”) {
           PaymentRequisitionApp.pageSet.Page1.MasterSubform. Text1.value.text.value = l_XML.Record[i].TITLE.toString();
           PaymentRequisitionApp.pageSet.Page1.MasterSubform. Text1.font.typeface ="simsun";
I found that it doesn’t work. There is something else in the form to reset the title to English. So I try to paste the code above in “calculate” event of tex1 object. It’s work!
Question:
1.      Anyone can tell me that the implement order of the events in the form?
2.      Does it exist other better way to do this?
        3. Which event, function or any else let the master page’s object to be reset?

How to export pdf from numbers with page breaks

I am trying to export a pdf from numbers that contains page breaks. When i print the page breaks are created for printing automatically and i like scrolling with no page breaks while working on spreadsheet. But, if export pdf the file becomes one long scrolling page. Which is good on screen but when email recipient tries to print, it prints to a single page and type face is impossibly tiny to read. I would like to export a view in which page breaks are included but can not seam to find the process (i have recently switched from excel to numbers).

One thing you might try (if you haven't already) is to pretend you are printing your numbers document, but after you press the "Print..." button (perhaps after doing the "Print setup" thing) do "Save as PDF" instead of just printing it. Presumably, this gives you the PDF that is used to do the print job.

Why does the font size decrease as I scroll down any page?

This is the second attempt to write and submit the details of m y problem. without warning my computer decides to terminate and delete my writing and this is just one more of its schizophrenic performances. My computer is a new Dell Inspiron Laptop and I refuse to pay the so-called Microsoft Partner"" . one red cent to fix my sick computer. HELP.

Thank you, I hope you can open the two following links:
