Unused Fonts are bloating the size of the document.

Good afternoon,
I am trying to drastically shrink the size of my file. It jumped from 200KB to 3MG. I tried to standardize all the font sizes.
I went through each field to ensure it was the same font so I wouldn’t have 2 font sizes in the document bloating the size. Looking in the properties screen; however, I still see 4 unused fonts. I tried save>optimize: i still could not remove the unused fonts?
How do I remove unused fonts? I have attached a screen shot.

Hi George,
after we create a new pdf document, inserted a text field and saved it, we reopened the pdf, we changed the default font (Helvetica) to another one - for example Times New Roman (right click on the field and selecting Properties --> Appearance --> Text --> Font: [font type combo] ) -
and we re-saved the file, this new font has embedded to document, as you say, and the filesize increased.
After all the above operations, we re-changed the font of the text field (or also all the text fields) with previous default font (Helvetica)
and then we saved the document with optimize PDF function, the filesize didn't change but it remained the same, did not decrease to initial size!
Could you tell us a procedure to reset the font of fields and return to initial file size without rewriting the document and all the fields?
P.S.: We have used Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
Than you in advance for your answer,
Best regards

  • [JS][CS4]List fonts used in the Document

    Hi to all scripting gurus,
    I have this following script that returns a list of fonts used in the document:
    function fontused(){               var fontscoll = document.fonts;               for(var i = 0; i < fontscoll.length; i++){                       var font = fontscoll[i];                       alert(font.name);                } }
    The above is working OK my problem is that it also list the fonts used in the placed illustrator files (.eps). Is there some kind of parameter or something that i can use so that it only list the fonts used in the text?

    Doesn't time fly?
    This will give you the idea, if when you find more exceptions add them in a likewise manner.
    The "if" statements check that tables, headers, etc. exists otherwise an error will be throw.
    Enjoy

    P.s. I had planned on updating the script after David highlighted the problem, just didn't get round to it.

  • Most Popular Items Report: items listed in report are not the document names or titles

    I have a document library that's loaded with typical corporate ppt, word, and pdf files.  When I run a Most Popular Items report on the library, the list of items displayed in the report are not the document file names or document titles. 
    Instead, the report is showing information that seems to pulled from within the content itself.
    For example, there's a new corporate ppt template in the document library and the Most Popular Items report shows the sharepoint url for the ppt file as being one of the most popular items.  Let's say that the file is named Standard_ppt_template.ppt. 
    The url for one of the most popular items reflects that in the URL.  However, the item is listed in the Most Popular Item as "Company Confidential".  The report seems to be pulling the words "Company Confidential" listed in the
    footer of the ppt template and showing that as the most popular content item. 
    Is there a reason or setting why the Most Popular Items report is not returning a list of items based on either the file name or the document title?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the PPT files items in the “Most Popular Items” report display these items’ names seem to be pulled from the PPT files’ content.
    Per my test, the Word, Excel, PDF, .txt, .png files items in the “Most Popular Items” report will display these items’ names based on the corresponding items’ title value if they have, or the corresponding file name if these items don’t have the title value.
    However, it’s by design that the PPT files items in the “Most Popular Items” report will display these items’ names only based on the beginning of these PPT files’ content rather than these files’ names and the corresponding items’ title value.

  • Which fonts are in the Adobe 'Font Folio Select' and can be embedded in software and apps for distri

    Hi,
    I need to select a few fonts for our client to choose from that can be legally embedded into their software for distribution.
    After reading this article:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2011/06/06/fonts-and-where-can-i-use-them/
    it sounds like there is an Adobe 'Font Folio Select' that contains fonts we can use but I can't find any information about where to get hold of it.
    I have spent hours hunting for fonts we can legally use and read lots of EULAs and still have no idea what fonts are available to developers!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    Thanks for reaching out to the Adobe Type Team.
    While the James Lockman blog you referred to is correct that our product, Font Folio Select, contains only fonts that we control and for which we can offer the broadest rights, it is mistaken in its description of how it is offered.  Font Folio Select is actually a collection of fonts which we offer for server usage - for customers who need fonts for automated printing services, or for web based services which offer a font selection.  I'm very sorry for the misinformation.
    Font licensing for applications is something for which we can provide you a direct quote.  If you would like to email me directly at the address listed below, I can get you in touch with a sales associate who can help you.  Additionally, if you provide me with a list of fonts you are interested in licensing, if there are fonts which are not ours, I can also provide you with foundry contact information so you can reach out to them directly.

  • How to tell what fonts are missing in a Photosohp CS5 document?

    Hello!  I have received some work from a graphic designer.  I need to modify some of the text in the document.  When I open the document I get an error message:
    Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output.  Do you want to update these layers now?  [Update] [No]
    If I click [Update] it replaces the font with Myriad Pro.  If I click [No] the text looks the way the designer intended, but I have the exclamation mark-triangle symbol over the layer with the text.  If I try to edit the text I get another warning:
    Editing or rendering the text layer "Text Layer" will cause its layout to change.  Continue?  [Cancel]  [OK]
    The same behavior described above occurs.  If I click [Cancel] I obviously can't edit the text.  If I click [OK] it changes the font to Myriad Pro.
    I would like to determine what font the layer is using.  I could swear that previous versions of Photoshop would tell me what fonts were missing when I opened a document.  I can't use the text tool to select the text without it changing the font.  Other posts have mentioned using the text tool to look at the text drop-down to find a greyed-out font which indicates the missing font.  I do not have that.  I only have perhaps 200 fonts installed.  Can anyone tell me how to determine what fonts a .PSD document is using?  I would prefer not to bug the graphic designer if possible.  Thanks much!
    ~ Dan

    Not sure why you are getting ""Font is present on the system but requires a layout change.", usually you do not get that instead the name of the font shows.
    We use extensis Universal Type Client, so the fonts load automatically upon opening files, and never really get missing fonts in Photoshop.
    Actually fontbook has auto font loading if you want to give that a try. Fontbook >> Preferences

  • Fonts are not the same color from page to page?

    I had a page with white colored font and the subsequent page had a grey version of the same font.  So I created a new page off of the page that had the correct white colored font and I copied the text from the other page to the newly created page and the font came in BLACK and a different font completely!
    What gives?
    Is there a solution?
    Thank you,
    C

    I did.  I switched over to firefox and it was fine.  So I emptied the cache of Safari and it worked.
    Thanks for the timely response.

  • I get missing fonts when opening a PDF, but the fonts are activated, I get garbage

    The activated fonts are not the same version as those in the PDF. If you use Type>Find Font and replace the fonts with ones from your computer does it work?

  • Firefox 4 is hard to read, the fonts are fuzzy as in IE 9

    Hi, with Firefox 4 the fonts are now the same as in Internet Explorer 9 : it is unclear, mostly in nonserif fonts.
    Is there a way I can disable that strange new feature?

    Hi Co-rel, for the windows Update, I got this message : "This download is not appropriate for your computer"
    I believe too it is something in my system because it does the same for Internet Explorer 9. Also on my laptop it really looks fine. I really would like to know what is that kind of new feature that is giving me trouble.
    In my desktop have a graphic card. Would it be part of the clue?

  • Can I set a default font and font color for the text field properties?

    I am setting up applications, some of the information I fill in prior to sending it to the client; I would like that text to always be in a specific font and color so it is clear to the client what information I filled in for them when they are reviewing the document.
    Thank you

    Not at this time, but I've asked the product team to consider adding it as a feature. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Pages problem - Only two fonts available in the Fonts window.

    Hey there,
    Would love some help on this one.
    I am working in pages and when I bring up the Fonts window there are only two choices available (either with some text/object selected or not) - Helvetica 12.0 pt and Helvetica 9.0 pt. That's it. Nothing else.
    Same thing no matter how many new documents I start with.. even opening templates presents no more options. The template fonts are in the template itself, can be selected and even prevew in the for window but are not in the list to be selected.
    I tried resetting the font cache via these instructions -

    But no change.
    Any help would dbe required as writing wedding invitations kinda needs to get done soon.
    Thanks,

    Peggy, you are a genius..
    So **** simple!
    What a tool I am.. the bizarre thing is that it didn't look like there were any more columns to display but sure enough, when I moved the window and stretched it out - there they were.
    Thanks again..

  • In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to.  Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone.  Where are they?  I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

    In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to.  Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone.  Where are they?  I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

    The application auto-saves your input when you close the document.  If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible).  Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
    Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

  • Any idea why my saved documents are unable to be read? "convert file from" box pops up, applications are listed to use but if any are chosen, the file then opens but is in symbols

    When attempting to open saved documents for viewing a box pops up "convert file from" with applications that can be chosen from to use. When any of the options are chosen the document then opens but is in symbols and is unreadable. This is happening with all saved documents.  Can you offer any help with this?

    Hi,
    If you don't find any clue, you can send your file to me (guillaume.rouyreATgcosiDOTcom, replace cap) so I can give a try.

  • The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the do

    Hi,
    I created a PDF from a Word document that used Cambria font, and when I select it in Acrobat to try to change the font I get "The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved"
    How can I change the font and why is it preventing me from doing so?
    Thanks,
    Juan

    Juan,
    No, Acrobat is not a word processor.
    More to the point Acrobat lets one "work" PDF and PDF is not a file format designed as a word processing, editing, formating, or page layout file format.
    PDF is, essentially, a "final destination" format.
    What it is is described in the ISO Standard for  PDF (ISO 32000-1).
    Be well...

  • Office 2013 applications cannot be made to show the "Documents" folder when opening and saving files

    (Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1 PRO)
    We are redirecting the user's "Documents" folder to the network (using Folder Redirection). The OS hides this fact however, and most applications simply see the "Documents" folder when opening or saving files, including Office 2003.
    Office 2013 however displays the actual path, which in this case is:
    \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
    Even if you forcibly set the "Default local file location:"  in the Options Save area to the 'Documents' folder in, say, Word, Word immediately converts the local path to the network path.
    Is there anyway to get Office 2013 to follow the virtual path? All of other apps follow it and expose the users only to "Documents".
    Thank you so much.
    Dana

    There's nothing in my FAQ concerning screen savers, so I'm unsure why you decided to take that approach. From your description, it looks like you only tried a few of the suggestions before throwing in the towel. That's fine, it's your call.
    I don't have the problems you described with 10.4.7. Usually when folks have problems after an update, these are caused by either installing an update on an already-corrutped system or they've installed third-party applications or hardware that have been rendered incompatible by the update.
    Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
    Good luck!
