TTF fonts embeding in PDF crystal reports

Hello,
I have a report with a TTF bar code font in my crystal report. Fonts is installed on the server. Generated Pdf file is fully readable on this host.
But i think the pdf file not include the font because the pdf document does not have the bar code displayed if it is opened on a pc which hasn't got the font !!!
How to make sur that the font is embed in the generated pdf file ?
I make the report on Crystal report 8.5
thanks for help
regards

Hi
Is the pdf being generated from a central location, or is each user running the report and exporting to pdf?
The font will need to be on the same machine/server that is generating the pdf.

How to extract Chinese text from font embedded text PDF?

This is actually font embedded text PDF (Used: type 1 fonts & custom encoding) and not scanned PDF, however I am unable to extract the "Chinese language" text properly and found only the garbled text when "Copy & Paste" (or save as RTF). Kindly refer the sample PDF attached for your reference.
Kindly advise how could I solve this problem.
Thanks in advance for your better solution.

As I was unable to upload the sample page PDF in my original thread, I have shared now in the following path. Kindly look into this and guide me how to extract the chinese text as UNICODE text.

Upgrading from CR 10 Embedded Edition to Crystal Reports (server) xi

We recently upgraded from CR10 Embedded edition to Crystal Reports Server Xi. In our application the users access the reports via a web page (where they enter the paratemeters) and the report is displayed using the Crystal Reports viewer. The CR server xi was recently installed and all the SDK references have been as mentioned in this document: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/724. But now when the reports are accessed via the web page we are encountering the error 'All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses.---- Error code:-2147217397 Error code name:enterpriseLogonFailed'
Can anyone share your thoughts or provide suggestions?
Thanks,
in advance!

Hello SG,
A common issue that arises when migrating from Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded to Crystal Reports Server XI applications that use the Report Application Server (RAS) SDK.
The RAS supports two modes of operation - "Unmanaged" and "Managed" reporting.
With CE10Embedded, you'd be using Unmanaged Reporting, where you'd copy the Crystal Report rpt file to the RAS server, and reference it by path when opening it in the ReportClientDocument class instance.
With Crystal Reports Server XI, you can use either Unmanaged Reporting, or Managed Reporting. Managed means you'd publish the rpt file to be "managed" by the CR Server Central Management Server (CMS). In code, you'd log onto the CR Server, retrieve the ReportAppFactory from the CMS, retrieve the report from the InfoStore, and pass it into the ReportAppFactory to create the ReportClientDocument.
I'm assuming you're still using "Unmanaged Reporting" with Crystal Reports Server.
If so, each report request will be authenticated in the CMS using the "Guest" account, and each request will use up a Concurrent Access License (CAL).
If you're getting the exception on the first report request, then that likely means you have the complimentary copy of CR Server XI, that comes with zero CALs and five Named User Licenses.
You won't be able to use unmanaged reporting with the complimentary version. You may want to modify your code to use managed reporting.
If you're getting the exception on the sixth or subsequent request, then that likely means you've purchased CR Server XI, and the base edition comes with 5 CALs.
If you contact sales, you can inform them of the number of users you have, and how frequently they request reports, and sales can recommend a license to match your requirements.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Full Font embedding in PDF

A couple of years ago, I set up some Distiller profiles to fully embed fonts into my PDFs. No subsetting allowed.
Since then, I've been using Indesign's PDF Presets, which used my created profiles, to create these same pdfs. Now that I have an issue that I need to investigate, I checked my PDFs in Acrobat and find that all my fonts are embedded subsets.
Now when I try to open Distiller 9 it locks up on me and I'm unsure why. Cannot find a key combination to release Distiller's settings that choke it.
But reading about on these boards, I'm getting the sense that perhaps I cannot fully embed anymore? I've made PDFX 1a, 3a, and 4 and find they are still subsets. These are mostly Type 1 and OTF, with a couple of TTF's mixed in.
What is best practice so that a PDF that is provided to printer, etc has the full font embedded, provided the permissions for the font is set?
thanx, sam

PDF font embedding/subsetting is the current operation - there were just too many issues with indexed fonts with the old PDF export engine (lack of Il8n support, must deploy font files with the PDF, lack of proper barcode support etc).
The engine will still index fonts if it tries to use font that's unavailable or not subsettable on the runtime system, and defaults to the Java default fonts.
That's not something I recommend - font substitution to the default Java fonts would play havoc with your report formatting.
PDF font subsetting is currently the way all current Crystal Reports engine works.

Embedding WebI and Crystal reports on a web page

Hi,
I'm new to BO, so please bear with me. I've also posted this to the .NET-side, so sorry if you've seen this post before.
We have a project where we will need to embed WebI and Crystal reports on a web page, i.e. we want the people who access the web page to get the reports (mainly graphs) as embedded content on the web page without any controls and other clutter.
Is this possible and what's the correct way of doing this?
Thanks,
Carl

Hi,
Thanks for the help!
We still face the original problem, though. I.e. with openDocoument we get the report, controls, tab selections, scroll bars etc. What we actually would like is to get just the contents of a report.
Is there any way of doing it? We're not afraid of coding, we have good developers. Or do we need to schedule report creation to some format (e.g. PDF) and then load the PDF to the web page?
Basicaly it's more important to get this working for WebI reports as we can redo almost all reports from Crystal to WebI. Of course we are happy to find a resolution for both cases.

Connection to Embeded Database from Crystal Reports XI

I am writing an application that uses a SQL Server Mobile Database. I have not been able to determine how to connect to this database through Crystal Reports.
1. Is it possible?
2. How do I provide the connection string that uses only 2 parameters?
Gene

When you create a DSN the ODBC string expects information for Server, Database, Username, and Password. When you are working with an Embedded Database, typically you have a filename and a password (which can be null). I was not able to create a DSN for this connection.
What I have been able to get working is the following:
1. Create an ADO DataSet Object within the application.
2, Create the CR attaching ot the DataSet Object.
3. In the application code where you are attaching the CR to a viewer you must
      a. Define a Data Adaptor for the DataSet.
      b. Define a Data Table and load the table from the DataSet GetData() method.
      c. Define the full path to the report file.
      d. Define a ReportDocument Object
      e. Load the report path in the the ReportDocument Object
      f. Define the DataTable as the Data Source to the ReportDocument Object
      g. Define the Viewer ReportSource as the ReportDocument Object.
I have been able to use this approach on 3 separate reports and returned the correct data. A lot of steps, but it is working.

Bar Code Font Embedding within PDF report

With a special postal code bar code installed on the 10gR2 application server to the %WINDIR%\fonts folder how should the UIFONT.ALI be configured to ensure the font is embedded within a PDF generated (WIN32 application servers)
If specified within the [PDF:Subset]
"Quick Address 4State BarCode" = "QUICASB_.TTF"
It would appear that the font is required at the client opening the PDF in order to view the barcode; the font is not being embeded within the PDF.
How to use [PDF:Embed] to produce a PDF that will display the font without requiring the font locally at the client?

Hello,
First, generate an output with DESFORMAT=HTML and check the font name used in the output.
Then, check that the file QUICASB_.TTF exists in a directory of REPORTS_PATH (take care to the case sensitivity on UNIX)
Check that the file uifont.ali is ok (use the utilty mfontchk)
Check the "precedence" in the file uifont.ali
See the comment in the file uifont.ali itself :

How can I find and remove an unused font embedded in PDF exported from a book?

The font (Myriad Pro) was the original [Basic Paragraph] font in the indd files, but I need to replace it with a different (approved) font.
MP is no longer found by Find Font in any of the indd files in the book.
It is not used (that I can find) in the AI files or the PSD files placed in the indd files.
Where could MP be hiding? It always shows as the default when I open the AI files, so is it somehow stored in the AI files even if unused and embedded in the PDF as a result of that?

After opening dozens and dozens of linked files,I finally found the offending "empty line of text" in one of the AI files I placed in the INDD file. Open > Select All.... then check the font panel. With mixed fonts, it was empty, but if everything was the correct font, it was filled in. It was just one AI file.
I want to thank you all for your great ideas and for sharing your experience. Onward, now.

External TTF Font Embedding, is this still the way?

Hey all,
I'm a typical embedder. I just embed the fonts, register them from another file and be done with it. Though I'm starting to desire to embed some ranges and also use test loading external .ttf files.
What is the best practice for embedding an external TTF at runtime? Is it still basically like this? Anything more modern? I find most blog posts on the subject range in the 2007 area.

Thanks I was just curious if it was such an old topic on the net because it never changed syntax. So it remains the same way to this day a few years later.
I also know you can embed ranges using the font manager in CS5 or CS5.5 and that's what I'm doing now. I'm just wondering if there's any advantage to embedding external .ttf files. One of which could be naming the font something generic both in the code and the filename itself like font.ttf and being able to change the font externally without recompiling the SWF. I was considering options such as that.
Thanks for the tip!

IPhone doesn't render all fonts embedded on PDF documents

The PDF reader in the iPhone does not render all fonts. When viewing attachments or PDFs posted on a website some text fields just don't show up, but they do when viewed in Preview or Acrobat Reader.
I have not seen discussions about this so I just want to make sure that the Software developers at Apple are aware of the problem.
This is a big issue for my profession (Graphic Design/Advertising).
