ToolTips missing text (sometimes)

I've got a Flex 3 (using 3.2 SDK - required) project that uses 3 external library projects, including some monkey-patched classes. This project also uses modules. We're using the resourceManager to retrieve all strings dynamically for the entire application (only 1 language now, but planning ahead for more).
We've had an issue on and off again where the tooltips for the entire application won't work when you launch, then will work the next time you launch. By not working, I mean you see the tooltip pop up, but it has no text. This is the same for dataTips on charts and dataGrids, toolTips for buttons etc..
At one point we thought it was a module problem (as it began only after we converted the project to modules) and we thought we had it fixed by using "this.moduleFactory = Application.application.systemManager;" in the creationComplete of each of the modules.
Today we started seeing this issue again. Has anybody else seen anything like this? If I had to guess, I'd say it had something to do w/ classes getting loaded on time sometimes, and not other times, but I've no idea how to test this hypothesis let alone how to fix the problem.
I could really use some help here!
Thanks,
B

Based on your thoughts that it's probably an embedded font issue (our embedded font is in a font swf) I tried a couple of things:
I tried doing a manual measure of the textField inside of an extended toolTip (using a copy of the measure method from UITextFormat). But, instead of
var fontModuleFactory:IFlexModuleFactory = embeddedFontRegistry.getAssociatedModuleFactory( getEmbeddedFont(font, bold, italic), moduleFactory);
I said:
var fontModuleFactory:IFlexModuleFactory = systemManager;
which is the fallback in case the first one returned null anyway (which it wasn't). What happened was very interesting - the tooltips all sized correctly finally - but there wasn't any text in them! So - you're right - it's a font issue.
I read your post here http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2010/03/flex_and_embedded_fonts.html many times, but a) it seems mostly Flex 4 related b) none of those properties like swfContext or getFontContext are available to my UIComponents (probably an SDK issue) c) I couldn't figure out what I'm supposed to do w/ ISWFContext or ContextualClassFactory. Is there something I can do for the entire application? Each Module? or does it have to be on a component-by-component basis?

Missing text in RoboHelp 7 when previewing/generating Frame files

This is a new issue for me. Until last week, it seemed to work fine. Now, though, whenever I import by reference my frame files I have noticed that, while they look fine in the Design view, when I click Preview it has missing text in parts. In one file, which was all text (no graphics), it was completely in Preview. Then, when I generated the help, that topic was still blank.
This doesn't always happen, though. Sometimes a topic is fine up to a point, then, all the text is gone, leaving only the screenshots. It generates that way also. On the other hand, some files come out fine, with no missing text. (This is only apparent in the Preview and generated help.)
I'm using TCS 1, that has RoboHelp 7, and I generate to WebHelp. I've applied an update that makes it 7.01.001. I've also applied the "missing space" fix that Peter Grainge suggested (it worked ).
Like I said, TCS worked fine up to last week, then I started seeing these missing chunks of text. I tried creating a new RH project and starting all over, importing only one small file that had all text and no screenshots/graphics. Both the preview and generated help came out blank, although I could see it plainly in the Design view before generating.
Has anyone else had this issue, or know what it might be?

Below is from one topic that didn't show any content at all for Preview or generated output, (taken from RH). That is, it showed nothing when I opened it in IE9, but in Firefox it displayed just fine. I tried replacing <head> with the one above (in the output), but it didn't seem to do anything. I'll keep trying, though!

<h1><a name=XREF_File_Transfer></a>File Transfer</h1>
The File Transfer dialog allows users of client-only
installations who are remotely connecting to the Host Server to manipulate
the files on the remote machine.
Use the File Transfer dialog to copy files to a fixed
directory on the server called shared_files.
This directory resides within the root. A status dialog opens during the
operation showing progress, and includes the file name and the percentage
of the operation that is complete/remaining.
The shared_files directory
is automatically created the first time File Transfer is used. 
<h2>Using the File Transfer</h2>
Select File>File Transfer
to open the File Transfer dialog.
<div style="text-align: center;" align=center>
<implicit_p><img id=15 src="ide300016.jpg" style="width: 320.999pt; height: 238.499pt;"
width=428 height=318 border=0>
</div>
 
The shared_files folder is
the top-level folder from which users manage files and folders. 
<h2>Menu Bar Options</h2>
<h3>File Menu</h3>
New Folder 
Creates a new directory on the server within the user-selected folder.
Type the new folder name in the Create New Folder dialog and click OK. 
Transfer File 
Specifies a local file to transfer to the server. Once the file is selected,
the user can initiate the file transfer.
Move Folder/File 
Moves a file or directory from one location within the shared_files
hierarchy to another location.
Rename Folder/File 
Renames a directory or file within the shared_files
hierarchy. Type the new name in the Rename File/Folder dialog and click
OK. 
Delete Folder/File 
Removes a directory or file from the remote server. 
Properties 
Shows information about the selected remote file or directory, including
file size, modification time, and name.
Refresh 
Updates the screen to show the latest information.
Close 
Closes the dialog. 
NOTE: Right-clicking a folder or file
on the File Transfer dialog opens a pop-up menu with the same File menu
options (except Close).
<h2>Status dialog</h2>
To monitor the progress of the transfer, a status dialog
opens when a file transfer begins. 
<div style="text-align: center;" align=center>

The following information is provided:
File 
Names the local file being copied.
Status 
Specifies the text status of the copy operation.
Copied To 
Specifies the destination file location on the server.
X of Y 
Specifies the number of bytes transferred out of the total number of bytes.

Progress Bar 
Provides a visual indicator of the copy operation’s progress.
<h2>Additional Information on the File Transfer</h2>
<h3>Concurrency and Synchronization</h3>
Only one file copy operation can occur at a time. Multiple
users can, however, transfer files to the server simultaneously and manage
separate folders on the server. 
<h3>Security</h3>
Users cannot manage files and folders outside of the
shared_files root.

Missing Text when using CONVERT to 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.

I restored my safari bookmark playlist from time machine.But it again missing after sometime.Again I restored the same thing happns again.plz help

I restored my safari bookmark playlist from time machine.But it again missing after sometime.Again I restored the same thing happns again.plz help

Triple-click the text on the line below to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the folder open.
Relaunch Safari. It will open with the default set of bookmarks. Delete them all. Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks
from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Arrange the bookmark folders as you wish.
If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post again.

Pages 5.2 Table missing text when printed

I created a document with several tables. These tables contain algebra formulas with superscript. I read in another forum that the issue may be the use of the superscript. However their problem only occurred when printing the document as a PDF. I am having the problem printing from both Pages and as a PDF. Some superscript appears as it should. Not all missing text is superscript.
Any ideas? I hate to have to recreate this document in Word. I took me forever to create.
Mavericks 10.9.3
Pages 5.2

Known limitation with Pages v5.2. If you had Pages ’09 installed before the upgrade downgrade to Pages v5.2, it was moved to /Applications/iWork ’09.
You will need to export from Pages v5.2 as Pages ’09 in order to process your work in the older Pages version. You will also need to open the Pages ’09 document either through that Applications file chooser, or via the right-click, contextual menu Open with > Pages (4.3). Double-clicking with both Pages installed will default to using Pages v5.2.
LibreOffice is a free alternative to MS Word, and works better with Mavericks than does OpenOffice.

PDF has missing text when created from FM 9

My Software:
Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP 3
FrameMaker 9.0p255
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.4.1
When generating a PDF document from FrameMaker, the PDF document has random missing text, including whole paragraphs, sentences and some text in tables. We have several FrameMaker books and they are all having the same issues. These books were fine when we last published updates within the last month and we have not made any changes to fonts.
When generating a PDF from FrameMaker, we always print the book to a postscript file first following these steps:
- Go to File > Print Book.
- Select the Adobe PDF printer.
- Select the Print to File option and specify a .ps filename.
- Select the Generate Acrobat Data option.
- Use Acrobat Distiller to convert the PS file to PDF.
Note that I also tried File > Save As PDF and got the same results.

Did you reboot after the hotfix? fwiw, other users on the forum have had difficulty with the hotfix not being installed correctly the first time around.
once you download the hotfix from MS you have to run the .exe, and then when it’s finished you have to reboot. Then check the Add or Remove programs in Control panel, and click the “show updates” button, then scroll way down to see the hotfixes, to be sure that #952909 is shown.
What fonts are you using in your documents? Specific type (PS, TT, OTF) and any other info you have (foundry, etc).
Do the "gaps" seem to occur when there are font changes in the document, e.g. when words in a sentence are bold or when a paragraph in a different weight (e.g. bold italic) follows, say, a "regular" text weight paragraph? As another test, can you highlight a segment of good+bad+good text in the PDF, do Control+c to copy it to the clipboard, then Control+v to paste it into a different file (Word, text editor, even another new FM document). Do the words of the "missing" text segments show up?
edit: the hotfix download process is a bit confusing; if I remember correctly it has to be requested, then MS sends a link to the download webpage, then the downloaded .exe has to be run.

Randomly Missing Text in PDF Created from FrameMaker

This problem relates to a structured FM document, but I suspect it might be a general issue and have posted it here in the general forum for that reason.
I am generating PDFs that are missing text somewhat randomly throughout. I tried searching the forum for solutions, but none of the suggested fixes worked and none of the posts specifically addressed the issue I am experiencing.
I am working in structured FM. The templates we use were originally created for FM8. We use both FM8 and FM10 in our work group. We are able to duplicate the same problem in both versions and on multiple computers.
I thought I had narrowed the problem down to certain paragraph formatting, since it only ocurs in three or four paragraph formats (a bullet list, table text, etc.) Garden variety formatting. But in most places in the document, these formats appear perfectly. The strangest occurence is a single intance where the page number is missing from the footer.
I thought it might be a font issue, as I've had similar issues in the past. I had a missing font warning in the console, but I am pretty sure that this has nothing to do with it, since they are fonts we are not using and all the other text from the same formats appears.
I tried turning off "Remember Missing Font Names" in preferences. No help.
I checked that the fonts are in the local directory and appear as embedded subsets in the PDF.
I also tried checking and unchecking the "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" option in the PDF output settings. Also no help.
The randomness of the missing fonts bewilders me and I've exhausted my own troubleshooting abilities. I would be happy to share a source file if anyone thinks they could help me that way.
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

There is a known bug in Windows XP that causes random dropped text in

Missing texts in WEB with F4-help combined with variable input.

I've defined a characteristic with text : short text, medium length text and long text. The texts are language independent.
I've defined a variable for this characteristic and I've defined a BEX-report that provides a variable-filter for this characteristic in the filter area. I've also set the property Display as to text or Key and Text
When I start the report the prompt-window appears and then I can perform F4 on the input field for this characteristic. Then a selection box opens showing the key and all texts - short desription, medium descr. and long desc.
If I use this report in the web-Application designer or if I launch this report directly in the WebBrowser I'll also get a selection box but no texts appear.
What can I do to see these texts also in WEB ? Where can I influence the search help for the web (in BEX it works perfectly) ?
Additional information: By defining the info object there is a tab for Business Explorer settings. For general settings I've choosen Text for the property Display. What is really strange is that in Bex-Explorer the property Display as always shows Key as a default although I've entered Text in RSA1. I've also inspected other characteristics where there are no missing texts. Here I've found out that in the info object there is Text choosen as attribut for Display -> in the Bex itself Text is shown as a default too.

Hello there,
I am having a similar problem but I have found this is due to either of two reasons.
1) The object is compounded
2) The compounded object is authorisation relavant and the security is stopping the masterdata being read properly.
Hope this helps narrow down your search.

Missing text in PDF when I use Acrobat 9.2 and FM 9

I was able to PDF ok from FM9 using Acrobat 6, but when I upgraded to Acrobat 9.2,
I'm getting some missing text in the PDF. Some non-bold text is missing. The number
for Chapter 3 is missing in the TOC. Any suggestions?

I was able to PDF ok from FM9 using Acrobat 6, ...
What font name, format (TTF, PFB/PFM, OTF?) and vintage?
Did you upgrade the fonts when upgrading the apps?
Any chance you have multiple copies of the same typeface name installed? Historically, having both the TTF and PFM (Type 1) of the same name installed could have undesired results.
... but when I upgraded to Acrobat 9.2, I'm getting some missing text in the PDF. Some non-bold text is missing.
What is "some text"? Some entire typefaces (all text thereof), or just some characters of a typeface, like, say, the ligatures in Helvetica.
The number for Chapter 3 is missing in the TOC.
What font is Frame looking for?
Also, are you embedding the fonts during PDF creation?

Using Create PDF from Web Page; Resulting PDF is missing text

Trying to create pdf's from various web pages. Generally process works very well but some pages have missing text and bad formatting. Specifically; http://www.robinhood.ca/Recipes/Occasions/Spring/Apricot-Tartlets
When I create the PDF; I am missing the text under "directions" and the description is truncated and forced to the far right.
Seems like I am missing a formatting or font setting but I have adjusted everything I can think of and have had no luck.
Running Acrobat Pro XI.
Anybody have any thoughts?

yes; looking at the source; seems that <table> is being captured correctly but the part that is missing is a <div>. I'm not an expert at deciphering the page source but seems like that is the problem.
Is there a work around?
when I print via the firefox plugin it prints fine. but i ultimately want to capture several layers on the site if I can get the formatting resolved.

Missing text after EXPORT from PMD to PDF

Hi,
I have a document, designed through Adobe pagemaker 70, which I would like converted to PDF. Within Adobe PageMaker 70 I performed a File-->Export-->Adobe PDF, kept all the default options and managed to generate a PDF version of the *.PMD document. However, some of the text in the PDF document is missing. I searched on the internet and discovered one can do Document-->Examine Document within Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to display any hidden text. Doing this I was able to see the missing text.
There is an image in the source Pagemaker document, but the image is not square but cropped along it's outside edge and the text flows around the edge (hope that makes sense). What's puzzling is that in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro the generate PDF has the image displayed in a box and some (not all) the text behind this box is shown as hidden, where as in the source document all text flowing around the image is visible.
Can anyone please help with this problem and tell me how I can get the hidden text in my PDF document to display so it's visible in an Acrobat Reader or when printed?... I am still a bit of a newbie with both Pagemaker and Acrobat so your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sharon
PS: I have not uploaded the file but do not mind doing so if some one is able to help and requests either the source PMD file or the generated PDF file

Hi,
The "question mark" displayed may be refereed to the missing font.
Are you trying to convert a public web page? if yes then please share a link so that i can also test it.
Regards,
Anoop

PDF missing text when browsing or linking to a page

Hello,
I have an issue with missing text in a PDF file when I try and browse directly to a page in a PDF. Interestingly, the text is not missing when you open the PDF and navigate to the same page from within the PDF. The first Character(s) of the title are missing.
The title of this page should say Criminal Justice, but the "C" is missing when you visit this link--
http://www.northeast.edu/Degrees-and-Programs/pdfs/2010-Catalog.pdf#page=103
This only happens if you try to navigate directly to a page. If you use the pagers within the PDF then the text is fine. If you change the link in the url to represent the page you are trying to visit, the characters disappear again.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Random missing text in brochure

I am new to this discussion board but am so happy to have found it.
I am working in XI. I have two brochures that are missing some text on a few page and is fine on all others. The brochures were created in InDesign. I have opened one of the updated bochures from last year and it is fine. It is also fine when I view from Acrobat. Any suggestions on what the issue is or how to fix?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

No missing text in Safe Mode.
First time unchecking hardware acceleration fixed it. I decided to check if it was really that by checking it again and seeing if it disappeared again. It did. Then when I tried to uncheck it again, the text was still missing and I couldn't fix it again. But after some back and forth of switching from safe mode to normal and vice versa with the hardware acceleration unchecked, the text reappeared again. So I decided to leave it since its fixed for now. Thank you so much for your help.

Missing text in many programs - Rox, Thunar, Deluge, etc [SOLVED]

Hi all,
I'm having a very confusing problem. Basically, text is just missing from certain programs. Here are a few quick examples:
Thunar:
Rox:
Deluge:
It's very strange. First of all, this just started happening recently, and I don't think after an update or anything. But I know "it just randomly started happening" is a dumb thing to say.
Here is the info I think could be useful:
-I have the ttf-freefont package and the xorg-font family of packages
-I have updated and restarted since this happened; nothing has changed
-The filenames look perfect if I just list them in the terminal (no newlines or anything)
-The filenames that have disappeared aren't anything special, it's seemingly random (no weird characters in them)
-The icons are totally fine
-All the things with missing text are still totally functional if I use them
-I thought this was a file manager issue, but it happening in Deluge too, so nope
-I downloaded and tried Nautilus, same deal, but some files had random words from their name appear. Just as bad basically though
-I also downloaded and tried Midnight Commander (a text based file manager) and everything is perfectly fine in it
Any suggestions? This is very mysterious, and driving me nuts.
Thanks!!
Edit: To clarify, in the Thunar and Rox pictures I just took screenshots of a small portion of a folder. In the Deluge pictures, in the first one those 3 blank looking buttons in that menu should have more words (like "Remove Torrent"), and in the second one, those + and - buttons should also have text.

Cairo 1.12 was just moved into [extra], so chances are this bug will reappear the next time you -Syu. If you're running Nouveau drivers, then the underlying cause of your issue might be this bug:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29495
If this is indeed your issue, then you need to install the xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_git20120512-1 package from [testing]. If you re-enable [testing] and do an -Syu, it should automatically install this package.

Placed PDF missing text after re-exporting to PDF

I'm using OSX 10.6 with InDesign CS3 504.
When I place PDFs into an InDesign file, and then PDF that InDesign file, some of the PDFs are missing text. All text boxes have been made from the same original text box, just modified for content, and shape very slightly.
The text that is missing is most often white, where it's being used over the top of black frames. There is one instance of black text over a white frame missing.
I've tried exporting to .inx, and then re-pdfing. I've also tried copying text boxes that are 'working' and changing the content, but still the same text boxes are missing their text.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

i already tried exporting to .inx about 3 hours ago. unfortunately i'm very pressed for time with a meeting in about 1 hour, so i've recreated the problem text boxes. luckily there were only about 10 of them and it only took 10 mins.
before that i tried to isolate the problem element, but couldn't find one. every time i removed something, i still got the problem. the only time i didn't get the problem was when i had just the text boxes on their own, with none of the other essential page elements.
thanks for your help, though.
