When unchecking 'embed fonts' hyperlinks go away.

LiveCycle 9.  When I reload a pdf that was generated by LC, and go to: Form Properties | Save Options, and uncheck the "embed fonts" checkbox, all the hyperlinks in the form dissapear.
This is a secondary process after the form has been initially saved with the fonts. (Apparently, there is no way to generate a pdf from xdp without embedding the fonts.) All I want to do is remove the embedded fonts. The fonts do unembed and all the field functions and scripts still work.
Do I need to wait to install the hyperlinks at this stage of the process?
Or is there another solution?
Thanks

Interesting.   These old forms use embedded Arial for both static and fillable fields. We have always embedded Arial, but now want to reduce our file sizes and Arial is available everywhere in our system.
If I load an old pdf, save as xdp and generate a new pdf form the xdp (with the grayed out "embed fonts"), the resulting form does have embedded Arial.  That's why we reload the newly generated pdf form back in to LC and then we can uncheck the "embed fonts". This form then, when saved, gives us a pdf form without Arial embedded.  It also has no hyperlinks...they have all been removed by the process.

  • Embed fonts when saving as eps

    Hi
    When saving a file as an illustrator eps I would like the default option to NOT embed fonts.
    Does anyone know if this is achievable and, if so, how to do it?
    Cheers
    Wayne

    Hi John
    Thanks for your input.
    I'm aware of the benefits of embedding fonts in Illustrator files but, to cut a long story short, files with fonts embedded show up as an error when put through the flightcheck application program. (And I have tailored the Ground Controls to suit including disabling the embedding fonts option.)
    Kind regards

  • Embed fonts not available error (But they are available sysetm fonts)

    Hello!
    I tried to search and actually did found some answers regarding font problems, but they did not help. So I am explaining here my problem in hope that someone can help me.
    My company bought a HP Xeon X3450 @ 2.8Ghz. @Gb RAM DD3 1333 with Windows 7 64-Bits version Professional.
    We installed Adobe CS3 Suite on Windows 7 64-Bits version and the problems with fonts started.
    We used to work with XP Professional before this new machine arrived and never had system fonts propblems with Adobe CS3 Suite.
    Basically, what happens is:
    When I try to open PDF files with embed fonts (system fonts susch as ARIAL for example) the program returns an error saying that the fonts are not installed/available, but checking the C:\windows\fonts, they are there and working fine on Office or other common application such as notepad for example.
    I tried the workaround I found on these very forums of copying the fonts to the folder C:\Program Fils\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts and it still does not work.
    Formated the HD and then installed Windows 7 32 bits (x86) and still have the same problems. All updates were made and applied to Adobe and Windows respectively for both 64 and 32 versions and the error still happens.
    In resume, fonts are installed, they are system fonts but under Windows 7 64 or 32 bits versions they simply do not work when opening the PDF files with embed fonts.
    -The PDFs had no problems before while running windows XP Professional.
    -The PDFs open whithout any problems on machines with Windows Xp Professional.
    -This is happening specifically in Adobe Illustrator CS3 and CS5 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and 9.
    Please, I urge for help since we don't know what to do anymore.
    Thank you all who took time to read this and forgive my terrible english, it is not my first language.
    Best regards,

    Andre,
    What I believe you have is 2 different versions of Arial, you old machine probably contains the version you need.
    By old version, I mean one could by true type(XP), and another Opentype (WIn 7), and the error comes up. Even though they have they same name (Eg: Arial Bold).
    There are even old version of fonts that are both of the same font technology format and have different FOND ID  numbers(Eg: Frutiger was one that I often encountered, but you don't see this problem that much nowadays).

  • How to embed fonts AND keep bookmarks?

    Hello, newbie here.
    I use MS Sql Server Reporting Services to generate a lengthy report, often over 100 pages. The report must be distributed as a PDF, and it must use some slightly unusual fonts, and it needs bookmarks. Reporting Services has a PDF rendering engine which can insert the bookmarks, but it cannot embed fonts (I'm using Visual Studio 2005).
    So after some investigation, I saw that I can embed fonts by converting the PDF to a Postscript (PS) file, then use Distiller to re-create the PDF with embedded fonts. A bit clumsy, but it works, EXCEPT that apparently the conversion to PS removes the bookmarks.
    So I am guessing that I'm going about this all wrong, and am hoping some one here can show me a better way. Oh yes, I have Acrobat 9 Pro and Distiller 9.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    You may be overcomplicating this. Hopefully, depending on which SQL report writer you use, you can configure it to embed fonts or at least a subset of the fonts at the time of the report generation. I have never had much luck with it outputting bookmarks so if you have mastered that, you have me beat. I took a section from my SQL report help on embedding fonts and and plagiarizing and pasting it below:
    Font Embedding
    When possible, the PDF rendering extension embeds the subset of each font that is needed to display the report in the PDF file. Fonts that are used in the report must be installed on the report server. When the report server generates a report in PDF format, it uses the information stored in the font referenced by the report to create character mappings within the PDF file. If the referenced font is not installed on the report server, the resulting PDF file might not contain the correct mappings and might not display correctly when viewed.
    Fonts are embedded in the PDF file when the following conditions apply:
    Font embedding privileges are granted by the font author. Installed fonts include a property that indicates whether the font author intends to allow embedding a font in a document. If the property value is EMBED_NOEMBEDDING, the font is not embedded in the PDF file. For more information, see "TTGetEmbeddingType" on msdn.microsoft.com.
    The Font is TrueType.
    The characters in the string that has the Font property set are Unicode, not ANSI. No font embedding occurs for ANSI characters.
    Fonts are referenced by visible items in a report. If a font is referenced by an item that has the Hidden property set to True, the font is not needed to display rendered data and will not be included in the file. Fonts are embedded only when they are needed to display the rendered report data.
    If all of these conditions are met for a font, the font is embedded in the PDF file. If one or more of these conditions is not met, the font is not embedded in the PDF file.
    Fonts on the Client Computer
    When a font is embedded in the PDF file, the computer that is used to view the report (the client computer) does not need to have the font installed for the report to display correctly.
    When a font is not embedded in the PDF file, the client computer must have the correct font installed for the report to display correctly. If the font is not installed on the client computer, the PDF file displays a question mark character (?) for unsupported characters.
    Verifying Fonts in a PDF File
    The fonts that are embedded in the PDF file are included in the Fonts property that is saved with the file, as metadata.
    To check if the font is embedded go to File/Properties/Fonts and see the status of the fonts, if they say embedded or subset embedded you are all set.
    lt me know where your process lets you down and I can try to help from there.

  • How to Embed Fonts and make Grayscale in Acrobat Pro 9 PDF

    I supplied my printer with a PDF but he says that I need to "Embed The Fonts" in the PDF.
    I made the original document in MS WORD and then I created the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 but nowhere
    along the way did I see anything that asked me to Embed The Fonts.
    He also says that the type is in RGB but it needs to be in Grayscale.
    When I created the PDF I didn't see any option along the way that gave me a choice between
    RGB and Grayscale.
    Any ideas how to achieve these two effects while going from an MS WORD document to a PDF using
    Acrobat Pro 9 please?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sorry to bother you with my problem but I wondered if you could explain a little bit more about things I didn't understand.
    1 - you said > On a Mac there is no advantage to using the Word plug-in.
    Do you mean that I can type directly into Acrobat?
    I thought that a document needed to be created in a word processor first before I could turn it into a PDF.
    Is that incorrect then?
    2 - > Create the pdf file a print file menu gives you greater control.
    I do apologize but I did not understand this statement either, could you please expand on it a little (to a non-techie.)
    3 - > If you use the Press job option setting, the fonts will be embedded.
    I can't find Press job option setting anywhere - I am using Acrobat pro 9 but there doesn't seem to be a menu with Press
    anywhere, could you please expand on this a little bit too please.
    4 - > If the pdf file has already been created it can be converted to greyscale using the Preflight or Convert Colors
    under Advanced -> Print Production.
    I understood this part and I executed it according to your instructions so thank you for that.
    Unfortunately I couldn't find out how to embed my fonts and my printer charged me $75 to do that
    so I was pretty upset about not being able to understand that part of your explanation.
    Since the printer was able to embed the fonts in a document that was already a PDF then it must be possible
    to embed fonts after a PDF has been created, is that correct?
    If that is correct then i don't know how I could not find how to do it because I looked everywhere for that
    ability but I could not find how to do it.
    I'd be very grateful for any further help you could give, thank you.

  • How to embed fonts in document for all users

    Hello,
    we are using a custom font for our documents. I know it's possible to embed fonts in document when saving.
    Is there an option to enforce this setting with a policy?
    I cannot find the right policy in the Office Policy templates.
    We are using Office 2013 x86.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, the option is document-based, we can't control this on the Policy level.
    If your request is to turn on this option for all new created documents. Since all new documents are based on the Normal.dotm template, a workaround is to create a new Normal.dotm template in which this option is checked:
    Browse to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates, open Normal.dotm, tick the option and save it as Normal_1.dotm, save it in the same location.
    Then rename the old Normal.dotm to Normal.old, rename Normal_1.dotm to Normal.dotm.
    Open Word and create a new blank document, you will see this option is ticked.
    To deploy this file for all users, we can write a startup script. The process is like: 1. Remove the old Normal.dotm, 2. Copy the new Normal.dotm template from a network shared location to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.
    I hope the information is helpful to you.

  • How do you embed fonts in a Captivate 6 interaction?

    I've created an interaction using AR Cena font (which is loaded on my machine), but when a colleague displays the published version on her computer the font I have used does not display. It is published out as a zip file and loaded into our LMS. Any suggestions or solutions would be great.

    To answer your question directly, you cannot directly embed fonts used in an InDesign document into that document itself with the following exception. If you place a PDF or EPS file with embedded fonts into an InDesign document, those fonts remain embedded; you don't need to have any other copy of those fonts available to view, print, or export to PDF.
    As indicated by another responder, packaging an InDesign document can provide a means of moving fonts with the document, albeit as separate files in the package (of course, limited to your licensing rights to those fonts).

  • How do I embed fonts into Captivate projects?

    This question came up in May 2006 but was never really
    answered. I'd like to know how to embed fonts into my Captivate
    projects so that the output looks the same on all computers. While
    the text animations are fine, the Text Caption fields are the ones
    that seem to have fonts that go walkies on other computers. I know
    you can embed fonts in PDFs. Why not in Captivate (unless I'm
    missing something in 2.0).

    First, a tip for the forums: If you use the URL tags, your
    post won't require horizontal scrolling - sorry, but I use Firefox
    and entering a long URL totally blows my ability to smoothly read
    the post ... you can manually add a text link by using the "L" tag
    as shown below (I've put spaces in to avoid this being turned into
    another text link)
    [ L = Your Text]
    http://www.yourdomain.com [ /
    L ]
    Back to your issue, Charinos. I'm glad you did find the URL,
    but that thread and your problem are not even in the same world.
    That thread deals with fonts in text-entry boxes (boxes for
    end-user text-entry), and you are talking about text-captions, an
    entirely different object.
    In fact, if you make changes and save those changes to a
    text-caption, then publish the project, the fonts in your text
    captions will remain stable and are not dependent on the fonts
    installed on the end-viewer's machine. The reason is that when the
    SWF is compiled, the text captions are converted to images and so
    long as the file is viewed as intended in the HTML document - at
    the proper size - the stretching you describe cannot take place.
    I'm not saying you are seeing things, but if my understandings of
    the Captivate machine are correct, what you are saying is happening
    cannot
    be happening. Something else is going on, like a failure to
    save changes, use of non-conforming text-caption boxes with a
    resultant loss of margins, or something.
    Sorry I'm not more help. I can't duplicate what you are
    seeing but I hope someone else can help you out - I may still be
    misunderstanding your issue.

  • Can 6i Embed Fonts in PDF?

    Is it possible to embed fonts into the PDF outputs created with reports 6i? If so, where is there information on how to do this for 6i?
    Thanks,
    Kurz

    As you say, you cannot generate a PDF directly with the embedded font, but I discovered a trick:
    Use the IX library config file to embed the font in the postscript output when reports runs, then convert the postscript into PDF with an embed fonts parameter to ps2pdf or ghostscript:
    ps2pdf -dEmbedAllFonts=true reports_output.ps
    This will create a PDF with the embeded font, and with the IX library, you can use TTF fonts.
    Can this command be executed somehow automatically by pasta or IX after the report finishes?

  • Completely Embed Font (not Subset) in PDF several methods not working

    Hi,
    I have an Illustrator CS5 file, on a Windows 7 PC.
    I have used "Save As" direclty from Illustrator, also "Print" with Distiller and finally the Acrobat Pro 9 "Preflight" "Fixups" to Embed Fonts.
    This has included setting subsetting to 0% and in the "Print" dialogue when using the Distiller method, changing the font dropdown to "Complete".
    I do not want to convert my font to outlines, because of the changes this causes. I do not want to subset - but completely embed the fonts.
    This is driving me insane, and I really would appreicate any suggesstions. Please help!

    Thank you for your excellent posts. I am saving your posts for future reference.
    I e-mailed the printer and got this reply:
    "A 100% font embedding is actually not possible in most InDesign versions and in fact Adobe’s product never do it. It is really a bug from Adobe and it doesn’t work! Subsetting is therefore also perfectly fine and doesn’t pose a problem at all for printing."
    I think the instructions from their website are rubbish. They seem to do this to cover their own backs / make statements that aren't true just to keep everything simple, so that truly idotic people can still create PDFs to send to them for printing. Whenever I e-mail them, I get intelligent replies, that usually contradict the rubbish on their website.
    They accept PDF-2008, so their workflow can't be that old, I guess. (I'm a designer, I just know the minimum required about print technicalities!)
    Our previous printer wanted everything in PDF-X1a, and subsetted fonts, and they had no certifications of any kind, yet we always got good results from them.
    onlineprinters.com say this about their certifications: http://www.onlineprinters.com/Certified-quality.htm?websale7=diedruckerei;02-aa&tpl=02-aa/ $ws-cms/uu_certicied_quality.html&type=zertifizierte_qualitaet_hnavi_b
    and they say they have the latest gear from Heidelberg and KBA:
    http://www.onlineprinters.com/uu_offset_printing.htm?websale7=diedruckerei;02-aa&tpl=02-aa /$ws-cms/uu_offset_printing.html
    and have 40,000m2 of production space. I think they know what they're doing, but whoever writes the website should be fired!

  • Re-Fry a PDF to embed fonts

    Posted in Acrobat forum, but I think this group is pretty on the ball, and faster.
    Received a 6 page file, customer requested we run plates. My normal quick checks; Properties, check fonts, most were not embedded. Run a preflight, all images were below 100ppi. Informed customer, a print shop, to send it back, use a correct options set. Received a replacement file, exactly the same low res, no embed. When they cannot get it right after trying, I normally fix it myself.
    Not to long ago, I would have placed the pdf’s into InDesign and exported a pdf with fonts; easy, squeezy, lemon peezy as the commercial goes. But, as I try to use the "correct" tools for the job these days, not pound a screw with a hammer, I utilized Acrobats Preflight > Fixups > Embed fonts. Analyze & Fix. Done, fonts embedded. Place the fixed file, RIP plates.
    Got the call - fonts crammed, mostly instances of Times New Roman lower case ff.
    I’ve built a visual of the Source PDF (small section) original file, without fonts, Acrobat’s "Fixed" file, and an InDesign Export of the original, sans font, file.
    Any idea why Acrobat messed this up? I have done the InDesign place and export on two different machines with identical, good results btw. (Not sure about image size, open image in new tab shows large)
    Acrobat 9 Pro, Vista PC

    The original pdf's properties showed the document was created with Pagmeker 6.0. I actually cannot recal how PM went to pdf...subsequently imposed by my client via Quite Imposing.
    No firm advice from the Acrobat forum as of yet.
    It's just frustrating when, in the course of trying to use the "proper tools", a problem without a solution causes the loss of a few hours.

  • Not embed fonts saving as pdf

    Hi everyone
    Just a quick question.. before I start to dig myself.
    We save our LC design forms in the source format .xdp. When we publish them we select File > saveAs and choose dynamic pdf.
    but LC designer will always embed fonts in the pdf. We have to open our pdf in LC designer a remove 'embed font' under File > Form properties (this can only be fone to a pdf, so we need an additional save as ZZZZZZZ).
    Question:
    Anyone have solution on setting LC designer ud to not embed fonts when saving and xdp to dynamic pdf? is the a config file or registry setting to edit?
    help is very welcome

    hi Jyske,
    What you can do is to add the following line in the .tds (template) files that Livecycle uses:
    <?templateDesigner SavePDFWithEmbeddedFonts 0?>
    and this just before the closing </template> element in the xml source.
    You find these templates in the <Livecycle Designer Installation folder>\EN\Templates
