Embed Fonts in dynamic forms

Avatar

Former Community Member

Hi,

I'm using Designer 8.2 and I want to embed custom Fonts in a dynamic PDF, because the document might also be opened on clients where those fonts are not available.

Everything works fine with static pdfs (File Properties in Reader -> shows that eg. Bell Gothic Std Light (embedded ...) is embedded in the form. This forms works fine on clients where Bell Gothic is not installed.

The same Form changes it's  behavior when I save it as a dynamic pdf.

  • File Properties don't show embedded fonts information
  • Bell Gothic is replaced

Any ideas why?

How can I fix this problem?

regards

Johannes

On the Form Properties/Save Options tab make sure the embed Fonts check box is ticked on.

Thx for the hint,

but embed fonts is enabled.

This only happens when I save the document as a dynamic pdf.

I've attached screens how it looks like in Designer + Reader.

Here you can see how the same documents acts, with the same configuration in Designer or in Reader.

I can also send you the original pdfs.

thx

I do not have that font on my system but send the files and I will have a look to see if I spot anything.

Hi Paul,

I've attached both files.

maybe you can find the initial hint to solve this problem.

I don't think that it has to do with licenses, because in this case it should not be allowed to embed the fonts into a static document.

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/8.2/static_dynamic_diffs.pdf explains the differences and on page 10 you can find the font topic

I agree that it is not licensing but I do not have that font to play with .....I woudl suggest that you open an incident with support.
